O, where shall rest be found
Author: James Montgomery Appears in 646 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O, where shall rest be found
Rest for the weary soul?
'Twere vain the ocean depths to sound,
Or pierce to either pole.
2 This world can never give
The bliss for which we sigh;
Its fairest glories shortest live,
And all its pleasures die.
3 Beyond this vale of tears
There is a life above,
Unmeasured by the flight of years;
And all that life is love.
4 Through Christ, the Life, the Way,
May we that life obtain;
And through the merits of his blood
That endless glory gain.

O, where shall rest be found
O worship the King, all-glorious above
Author: Robert Grant Appears in 1,151 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O worship the King, all-glorious above,
And gratefully sing his wonderful love;
Our Shield and Defender, the Ancient of days,
Pavilioned in splendor, and girded with praise.
2 O tell of his might and sing of his grace,
Whose robe is the light; whose canopy, space;
His chariots of wrath the deep thunderclouds form,
And dark is his path on the wings of the storm.
3 Thy bountiful care, what tongue can recite?
It breathes in the air, it shines in the light;
It streams from the hills, it descends to the plain,
And sweetly distills in the dew and the rain.
4 Frail children of dust, and feeble as frail,
In Thee do we trust, nor find thee to fail;
Thy mercies, how tender! how firm to the end!
Our Maker, Defender, Redeemer, and Friend! Topics: Worship Attributes and Providence of God Used With Tune: LYONS
O worship the King, all-glorious above
On Jordan's stormy banks I stand
Author: Rev. Samuel Stennett Appears in 1,347 hymnals Lyrics: 1 On Jordan's stormy banks I stand,
And cast a wishful eye
To Canaan's fair and happy land,
Where my possessions lie.
Chorus:
We will rest in the fair and happy land,
Just across on the evergreen shore;
Sing the song of Moses and the Lamb by and by,
And dwell with Jesus evermore.
2 O'er all those wide extended plains
Shines one eternal day;
There Christ, the Sun, forever reigns,
And scatters night away. [Chorus]
3 When shall I reach that happy place,
And be forever blest?
When shall I see my Father's face,
And in his kingdom rest? [Chorus]
4 Filled with delight, my raptured soul
Would here no longer stay;
Tho' Jordan's waves around me roll,
Fearless I'd launch away. [Chorus] Topics: Bible Songs Reward of Saints Scripture: Hebrews 11:13 Used With Tune: ON JORDAN'S STORMY BANKS
On Jordan's stormy banks I stand
On the mountain's top appearing
Author: Thomas Kelly Appears in 596 hymnals Lyrics: 1 On the mountain's top appearing,
Lo! the sacred herald stands,
Welcome news to Zion bearing
Zion long in hostile lands:
Mourning captive! Mourning captive!
God himself shall loose thy bands.
2 Has thy night been long and mournful?
Have thy friends unfaithful proved?
Have thy foes been proud and scornful?
By thy sighs and tears unmoved?
Cease thy mourning;
Zion still is well beloved.
3 God, thy God, will now restore thee;
He himself appears thy Friend;
All thy foes shall flee before thee;
Here their boasts and triumphs end:
Great deliverance
Zion's King will surely send. Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Used With Tune: TAMWORTH

Once more before we part
Author: Joseph Hart Appears in 304 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Once more before we part,
We'll bless the Saviour's name;
Record his mercies, every heart;
Sing, every tongue, the same.
2 Lord, in thy grace we came,
Thy blessing still impart;
We met in Jesus' sacred name,
In Jesus' name we part.
3 May we receive his word,
And feed thereon, and grow;
Go on to seek and know the Lord,
And practice what we know.
4 Soon shall we hear him say,
"Ye blessed children, come!"
Soon will he call us hence away
To our eternal home.
5 There shall each raptured tongue
His endless praise proclaim,
And sweeter voices tune the song
Of Moses and the Lamb. Topics: Worship Closing Hymns Used With Tune: NARES

Once more, my soul, the rising day
Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 459 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Once more, my soul, the rising day
Salutes thy waking eye;
Once more, my voice, thy tribute pay
To Him who rules on high.
2 Night unto night his name repeats,
The day renews the sound,
Wide as the heavens on which he sits
To turn the seasons round.
3 'Tis he supports my mortal frame;
My tongue shall speak his praise:
My sins might rouse his wrath to flame,
But yet his wrath delays.
4 O God, let all my hours be thine,
While I enjoy the light;
Then shall my sun in smiles decline,
And bring a peaceful night. Topics: The Christian Family Devotion Used With Tune: MEAR

From worldly snares, we pray;
And let them to the end endure
In every righteous way.
3 Grant us before them, Lord, to live
In holy faith and fear;
And then to heaven do thou receive,
And bring our children there. Topics: The Church Baptism Used With Tune: DENFIELD

To endless years endure;
And children's children ever find
The words of promise sure. Topics: The Christian Family Devotion Used With Tune: BOYSTON

Who sin against us, so may we
Forgiving grace receive.

From evil set us free;
And thine the kingdom, thine the power
And glory, ever be. Topics: The Christian Meditation and Prayer Used With Tune: BROWN

To the bright portals of the sky.

And angels chant the solemn lay:
"Lift up your heads, ye heavenly gates;
Ye everlasting doors, give way."

And wide unfold the beauteous scene;
He claims these mansions as his right,
Receive the King of glory in.

The Lord, that all our foes o'ercame;
The world, sin, death, and hell o'erthrew;
And Jesus is the conqueror's name.
5 Lo! his triumphal chariot waits,
And angels chant the solemn lay:
"Lift up your heads, ye heavenly gates;
Ye everlasting doors, give way."

The Lord, of glorious power possessed;
The King of saints and angels too;
God over all, forever blest. Topics: Christ Resurrection and Ascension Used With Tune: BROCKHAM
