O Mother Dear, Jerusalem

Author: F. B. P. Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 622 hymnals Lyrics: 1. O mother dear, Jerusalem, When shall I come to thee? When shall my sorrows have an end, Thy joys when shall I see? O happy harbor of the saints! O sweet and pleasant soil! In thee no sorrow may be found, No grief, no care, no toil. 2. No murky cloud o’ershadows thee, Nor gloom, nor darksome night; But every soul shines as the sun, For God Himself gives light. There lust and lucre cannot dwell, There envy bears no sway; There is no hunger, heat, nor cold, But pleasure every way. 3. Thy walls are made of precious stones, Thy bulwarks diamonds square; Thy gates are of right orient pearl, Exceeding rich and rare. Thy turrets and thy pinnacles With carbuncles do shine; Thy very streets are paved with gold, Surpassing clear and fine. 4. Thy gardens and thy gallant walks Continually are green; There grow such sweet and pleasant flow’rs, As nowhere else are seen; Quite through the streets, with silver sound, The flood of life doth flow, Upon whose banks on every side, The wood of life doth grow. 5. There trees forevermore bear fruit, And evermore do spring, There evermore the angels sit, And evermore do sing. Jerusalem, my happy home, Would God I were in thee! Would God my woes were at an end, Thy joys that I might see! Used With Tune: MATERNA

God a Very Present Help

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 24 hymnals First Line: God is our refuge and our strength Lyrics: 1 God is our refuge and our strength, Our ever present aid, And therefore, though the earth remove, We will not be afraid; Though hills amid the seas be cast, Though foaming waters roar, Yea, though the mighty billows shake The mountains on the shore. 2 A river flows whose streams make glad The city of our God, The holy place wherein the Lord Most High has His abode; Since God is in the midst of her, Unmoved her walls shall stand, For God will be her early help, When trouble is at hand. 3 The nations raged, the kingdoms moved, But when His voice was heard The troubled earth was stilled to peace Before His mighty word. The Lord of Hosts is on our side, Our safety to secure; The God of Jacob is for us A refuge strong and sure. 4 O come, behold what wondrous works Jehovah's hand has wrought; Come, see what desolation great He on the earth has brought. To utmost ends of all the earth He causes war to cease; The weapons of the strong destroyed, He makes abiding peace. 5 Be still and know that I am God, O'er all exalted high; The subject nations of the earth My Name shall magnify. The Lord of Hosts is on our side, Our safety to secure, The God of Jacob is for us A refuge strong and sure.

The King Shall Come When Morning Dawns

Author: John Brownlie Appears in 95 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The King shall come when morning dawns, And light triumphant breaks; When beauty gilds the eastern hills, And life to joy awakes. Not as of old a little child To bear, and bleed, and die, But crowned with glory like the sun That lights the morning day. 2 O brighter than the rising morn When He, victorious, rose, And left the lonesome place of death, Despite the rage of foes. O brighter than that glorious morn Shall this fair morning be, When Christ, our King, in beauty comes, And we His face shall see. 3 The King shall come when morning dawns, And earth's dark night is past; O haste the rising of that morn, The day that aye shall last. And let the endless bliss begin, By weary saints foretold, When right shall triumph over wrong, And truth shall be extolled. Amen. Used With Tune: [The King shall come when morning dawns]

Tweedy Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 53 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Eternal God, whose power upholds Both flower and flaming star, To whom there is no here nor there, No time, no near nor far, No alien race, no foreign shore, No child unsought, unknown, O send us forth, Thy prophets true, To make all lands Thine own! 2 O God of love, whose spirit wakes In every human breast, Whom love, and love alone, can know, In whom all hearts find rest, Help us to spread Thy gracious reign Till greed and hate shall cease, And kindness dwell in human hearts, And all the earth find peace! 3 O God of truth, whom science seeks And reverent souls adore, Who lightest every earnest mind Of every clime and shore, Dispel the gloom of error's night, Of ignorance and fear, Until true wisdom from above Shall make life's pathway clear! 4 O God of righteousness and grace, Seen in the Christ, Thy Son, Whose life and death reveal Thy face, By whom Thy will was done, Inspire Thy heralds of good news To live Thy life divine, Till Christ is formed in all mankind And every land is Thine!

How Happy Every Child of Grace

Author: Charles Wesley Appears in 381 hymnals First Line: How happy ev'ry child of grace Lyrics: 1 How happy ev’ry child of grace, Who knows his sins forgiv’n! “This earth,” he cries, “is not my place, I seek my place in Heav’n— A country far from mortal sight, Which yet by faith I see, The land of rest, the saints’ delight, The Heav’n prepared for me.” 2 O what a blessed hope is ours! While here on earth we stay, We more than taste the heav’nly pow’rs, And antedate that day. We feel the resurrection near, Our life in Christ concealed, And with His glorious presence here Our earthen vessels filled. 3 O would He more of Heav’n bestow, And let the vessels break, And let our ransomed spirits go To grasp the God we seek; In rapturous awe on Him to gaze, Who bought the sight for me; And shout and wonder at His grace Thro’ all eternity!

Author: Cecil Frances (Humphreys) Alexander Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 139 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The roseate hues of early dawn, The brightness of the day, The crimson of the sunset sky, How fast they fade away! O for the pearly gates of heav'n! O for the golden floor! O for the Sun of Righteousness That setteth nevermore! 2 The highest hopes we cherish here, How fast they tire and faint! How many a spot defiles the robe That wraps an earthly saint! O for a heart that never sins! O for a soul washed white! O for a voice to praise our King, Nor weary day or night! 3 Here faith is ours, and heavenly hopes, And grace to lead us higher: But there are perfectness and peace Beyond our great desire. O by Thy love and anguish, Lord, O by Thy life laid down, O that we fall not from Thy grace, Nor cast away our crown! Amen.

There is a land of pure delight

Author: Dr. Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Appears in 1,406 hymnals Lyrics: 1 There is a land of pure delight, Where saints immortal reign; Infinite day excludes the night, And pleasures banish pain. There everlasting spring abides, And never-withering flowers; Death, like a narrow sea, divides This heavenly land from ours. 2 Sweet fields beyond the swelling flood Stand dressed in living green; So to the Jews old Canaan stood, While Jordan rolled between. But timorous mortals start and shrink To cross this narrow sea; And linger, shiv'ring on the brink, And fear to launch away. 3 O could we make our doubts remove, Those gloomy thoughts that rise, And see the Canaan that we love With unbeclouded eyes! Could we but climb where Moses stood, And view the landscape o'er, Not Jordan's stream, nor death's cold flood, Should fright us from the shore.

Come unto Me (Peterson)

Author: Susan H. Peterson Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: O weary one, weighed down by care Lyrics: 1. O weary one, weighed down by care, Come unto Me and rest. Cast all your burdens at My feet, And you will be refreshed. Come unto Me, come unto Me, For I am meek in heart. Take up My yoke and learn from Me, And let your cares depart. 2. Come claim My strength, you faint in heart And you who have no might. I am the everlasting God; Through Me you can take flight. Mount up, mount up on eagles’ wings, Soar upward to the sky. Draw from My reservoir of power, A limitless supply. 3. I am the Vine, you’re just a branch; You must remain in Me. Apart from Me you’ll bear no fruit; Your life will empty be. Remain in Me, remain in Me, And I’ll remain in you. By this will God be glorified; You’ll be My follower true. 4. And never tire of doing good; Someday there’ll be reward. For at the proper time you’ll reap A harvest for your Lord. So don’t give up, don’t e’er give up, Do good to all mankind. Especially love God’s family and Eternal life you’ll find.
