When the Mists

Author: Annie Herbert Appears in 186 hymnals First Line: When the mists have rolled in splendor Lyrics: 1 When the mists have rolled in splendor From the beauty of the hills, And the sunshine, warm and tender, Falls in kisses on the rills, We may read love’s shining letter In the rainbow of the spray; We shall know each other better When the mists have cleared away, We shall know each other better When the mists have cleared away. 2 If we err, in human blindness, And forget that we are dust; If we miss the law of kindness When we struggle to be just, Snowy wings of peace shall cover All the plain that hides away, When the weary watch is over, And the mists have cleared away, When the weary watch is over, And the mists have cleared away. 3 When the silver mist has veiled us From the faces of our own, Oft we deem their love has failed us, And we tread our path alone; We should see them near and truly, We should trust them day by day, Neither love nor blame unduly, If the mists have cleared away. 4 When the mists have risen above us, As our Father knows his own, Face to face with those that love us, We shall know as we are known; Lo! beyond the orient meadows Floats the golden fringe of day; Heart to heart, we bide the shadows, Till the mists have cleared away. Used With Tune: [When the mists have rolled in splendor]

Jesus Listening

Refrain: Jesus list’ning all the day long, Jesus list’ning all the day long, Jesus list’ning all the day long, To hear some sinner pray. 2 Should earth against my soul engage, And fi’ry darts be hurled, Then I can smile at Satan’s rage, And face a frowning world. [Refrain] 3 Let cares like a wild deluge come, Let storms of sorrow fall, So I but safely reach my home, My God, my heav’n my all. [Refrain] 4 There I shall bathe my weary soul In seas of heav’nly rest, And not a wave of trouble roll, Across my peaceful breast. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [When I can read my title clear]
