We've no abiding city here

Author: Thomas Kelly Appears in 182 hymnals Lyrics: 1 We've no abiding city here; Sad truth, were this to be our home; But let this thought our spirits cheer, We seek a city yet to come, We seek a city yet to come. 2 We've no abiding city here, We seek a city out of sight; Zion its name, the Lord is there, It shines with everlasting light. 3 O sweet abode of peace and love, Where pilgrims, freed from toil, are blest! Had I the pinions of a dove, I'd fly to thee, and be at rest. 4 But hush, my soul! nor dare repine; The time my God appoints is best: While here, to do his will be mine, And his to fix my time of rest.

There is a land mine eye hath seen

Author: Gurdon Robins Appears in 168 hymnals Lyrics: 1 There is a land mine eye hath seen In visions of enraptured thought, So bright, that all which spreads between Is with its radiant glories fraught, 2 A land upon whose blissful shore There rests no shadow, falls no stain; There those who meet shall part no more, And those long parted meet gain. 3 Its skies are not like earthly skies, With varying hues of shade and light; It hath no need of suns to rise To dissipate the gloom of night; 4 There sweeps no desolating wind Across that calm, serene abode; The wanderer there a home may find Within the paradise of God.

Let me but hear my Saviour say

Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 157 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Let me but hear my Saviour say, Strength shall be equal to thy day, Then I rejoice in deep distress, Upheld by all-sufficient grace. 2 I can do all things, or can bear All suffering, if my Lord be there; Sweet pleasures mingle with the pains, While he my sinking head sustains. 3 I glory in infirmity, That Christ's own power may rest on me; When I am weak; then am I strong: Grace is my shield, and Christ my sons.

When Jesus dwelt in mortal clay

Author: Thomas Gibbons Appears in 155 hymnals Lyrics: 1 When Jesus dwelt in mortal clay, What were his works, from day to day, But miracles of power and grace That spread salvation through our race? 2 Teach us, O Lord, to keep in view Thy pattern, and thy steps pursue; Let alms bestowed, let kindness done, Be witnessed by each rolling sun. 3 That man may last, but never lives, Who much receives, but nothing gives; Whom none can love, whom none can thank, Creation's blot, creation's blank! 4 But he who marks, from day to day, In generous acts his radiant way, Treads the same path his Saviour trod, The path to glory and to God.

There is a fold whence none can stray

Author: East Appears in 91 hymnals Lyrics: 1 There is a fold whence none can stray, And pastures clothed in living green, Where sultry sun, or stormy day, Or gloomy night is never seen. 2 Far up the everlasting hills In God's own glorious light it lies; His smile its vast dimension fills With joy divine that never dies.

Jesus, my Saviour, let me be

Author: Benjamin Beddome Appears in 45 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus, my Saviour, let me be More perfectly conformed to thee; Implant each grace, each sin dethrone, And form my temper like thine own, And form my temper like thine own. 2 My foe, when hungry, let me feed, Share in his grief, supply his need; The haughty frown may I not fear, But with a lowly meekness bear. 3 Let the envenomed heart and tongue, The hand outstretched to do me wrong, Excite no feelings in my breast, But such as Jesus oft expressed. 4 To others let me always give What I from others would receive. Nor, when provoked, with anger burn, Nor evil word or act return. 5 This will proclaim how bright and fair The precepts of the gospel are, And God himself, the God of love, His own resemblance will approve.

When God descends with men to dwell

Author: Ballou Appears in 34 hymnals Lyrics: 1 When God descends with men to dwell, And all creation wakes anew, What tongue can half the wonders tell? What eye the dazzling glory view? 2 Zion, the desolate, again Shall see her lands with roses bloom, And Carmel's mount and Sharon's plain Shall yield their spices and perfume; 3 Celestial streams shall gently flow, The wilderness shall joyful be, Lilies on parched grounds shall grow, And gladness spring on every tree; 4 The weak be strong, the fearful bond, The deaf shall hear, the dumb shall sing, The lame shall walk, the blind behold, And joy through all the earth shall ring; 5 The high and low shall meet in love, All pride shall die, and meekness reign, When Christ descends from worlds above To dwell with men on earth again.
