Servant of God, well done

Author: James Montgomery (1771-1854) Hymnal: SBSA1986 #890 (1986) Lyrics: 1 Servant of God, well done! Rest from thy loved employ; The battle fought, the victory won, Enter thy Master’s joy. 2 The heavenly summons came, He started up to hear; A mortal arrow pierced his frame, He fell, but felt no fear. 3 His spirit, with a bound, Left its encumbering clay; His tent, at sunrise, on the ground A darkened ruin lay. 4 The pains of death are past, Labour and sorrow cease; And, life’s long warfare closed at last, His soul is found in peace. 5 Soldier of Christ, well done! Praise be thy new employ; And while eternal ages run, Rest in thy Saviour’s joy. Topics: The Life to Come Languages: English

Yes, we'll gather at the river

Refrain: Yes, we’ll gather at the river, The beautiful, the beautiful river, Gather with the saints at the river That flows by the throne of God. 2 On the margin of the river Dashing up its silver spray, We will walk and worship ever All the happy, golden day. 3 Ere we reach the shining river, Lay we every burden down; Grace our spirits will deliver And provide a robe and crown. 4 At the shining of the river, Mirror of the Saviour’s face, Saints whom death will never sever Raise their song of saving grace.

Refrain: When we all get to Heaven, What a day of rejoicing that will be! When we all see Jesus, We’ll sing and shout the victory! 2 While we walk this pilgrim pathway, Clouds may over-spread the sky; But when travelling days are over, Not a shadow, not a sigh. 3 Let us then be true and faithful, Trusting, serving every day; Just one glimpse of him in Glory Will the toils of life repay. 4 Onward to the prize before us, Soon his beauty we’ll behold; Soon the pearly gates will open, We shall tread the streets of gold.

While the light from Heaven is falling

Author: Lucy Milward Booth-Hellberg (1868-1953) Hymnal: SBSA1986 #893 (1986) First Line: Sins of years are all numbered Lyrics: 1 Sins of years are all numbered, Blackest stains brought to light, Broken pledges uncovered, None escape from his sight. Unwashed hearts are rejected, Guilty souls rise alone, When you stand in the light Of his great judgment throne. Refrain: While the light from Heaven is falling, Sins reproving, wants revealing, While redeeming grace is flowing, He can wash your sins away. 2 All the past with its chances, All the ‘what might have been’, Each encounter with evil He had meant you should win; How you’ll wish you’d gone forward, Loving Jesus alone, When you stand in the light Of his great judgment throne! 3 Ransomed sinners of all kinds, Trembling followers as well, With their robes surely blood-washed, They shall come forth to tell Of the battles fought bravely, Of the victories won, As they stand in the light Of his great judgment throne.

Strife and sorrow over

Author: Herbert Howard Booth (1862-1926) Hymnal: SBSA1986 #894 (1986) First Line: Summoned home! the call has sounded Lyrics: 1 Summoned home! the call has sounded Bidding a soldier his warfare cease; And the song of angels resounding Welcomes a warrior to eternal peace. Praise the Lord! From earthly struggles A comrade has found release. Death has lost its sting, the grave its victory, Conflicts and dangers are over; See him honoured at the throne of glory, Crowned by the hand of Jehovah. Refrain: Strife and sorrow over, The lord’s true faithful soldier Has been called to go from the ranks below To the conquering hast above. 2 Once the sword, but now the sceptre, Once the fight, now the rest and fame; Broken every earthly fetter, Now the glory for the cross and shame; Once the loss of all for Jesus, But now the eternal gain. Trials and sorrows here have now their meaning found, Mysteries their explanation; Safe for ever in the sunlight gleaming Of his eternal salvation. Topics: The Life to Come Languages: English

The homeland! the homeland

The land of the free-born; There’s no night in the homeland, But aye the fadeless morn; I’m sighing for the homeland, My heart is aching here; There’s no pain in the homeland To which I’m drawing near. 2 My Lord is in the homeland With angels bright and fair; There’s no sin in the homeland, And no temptation there; The voices of the homeland Are ringing in my ears, And when I think of the homeland My eyes are filled with tears. 3 For those I love in the homeland Are calling me away To the rest and peace of the homeland, And the life beyond decay; For there’s no death in the homeland, There is no grief above; Christ brings us all to the homeland Of his eternal love.

The sands of time are sinking

Author: Anne Ross Cousin (1824-1906) Hymnal: SBSA1986 #896 (1986) Lyrics: 1 The sands of time are sinking; The dawn of Heaven breaks; The summer morn I’ve sighed for, The fair, sweet morn, awakes; Dark, dark hath been the midnight, But dayspring is at hand, And glory, glory dwelleth In Immanuel’s land. 2 O Christ! He is the fountain, The deep, sweet well of love; The streams on earth I’ve tasted More deep I’ll drink above; There to an ocean fulness His mercy doth expand, And glory, glory dwelleth In Immanuel’s land. 3 With mercy and with judgment My web of time he wove, And aye the dews of sorrow Were lustred by his love; I’ll bless the hand that guided, I’ll bless the heart that planned, When throned where glory dwelleth In Immanuel’s land.

There is a happy land

Author: Andrew Young (1807-89) Hymnal: SBSA1986 #897 (1986) Lyrics: 1 There is a happy land, Far, far away, Where saints in glory stand, Bright, bright as day. O how they sweetly sing: Worthy is our Saviour-King! Loud let his praises ring, Praise, praise for aye. 2 Come to this happy land, Come, come away; Why will you doubting stand, Why still delay? O we shall happy be When, from sin and sorrow free, Lord, we shall live with thee, Blest, blest for aye. 3 Bright in that happy land Beams every eye; Kept by a Father’s hand, Love cannot die. On, then, to glory run; Be a crown and kingdom won, And bright above the sun Reign, reign for aye. Topics: The Life to Come Languages: English

There is a land of pure delight

Author: Isaac Watts (1674-1748) Hymnal: SBSA1986 #898 (1986) 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, shivering 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, Could fright us from the shore. Topics: The Life to Come Languages: English

When our fighting here is over

Author: Arthur Bovan (c 1870-1903) Hymnal: SBSA1986 #899 (1986) First Line: There's a crown laid up in Glory Lyrics: 1 There's a crown laid up in Glory, There’s a robe for each to wear, And we never need be sorry That we did life’s troubles share; For our crown will shine the brighter For the battles we have won, And our robes will be the whiter When our travelling days are done. Refrain: When our fighting here is over, And our victories are all won, There’s a mansion up in Glory When our travelling days are done. 2 There’s a golden harp in Glory, There’s a welcome for the true, There’s a rest for all the weary, There’s a victor’s palm for you. O we’ll praise the Lamb for ever When we stand before his throne, And our joys will end, no never, When our travelling days are done! 3 There will be no room for sadness, There will be no sorrow there, And unceasing songs of gladness Shall for ever fill the air; There will be no death, no weeping In that land, and evermore We shall dwell in Jesus’ keeping When our travelling days are o’er.
