[Refrain] 3 Come and start on the way to glory, There to dwell in the land divine, With our Savior, the Great Conductor, At the end of the glory line; There to enter the holy city, Where we’ll meet our beloved and own, Join with them and the holy angels, Singing praises around the throne.

Thomas With The Ten

Author: Herbert Kynaston Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: O, enter then the Temple, when Lyrics: 1 O, enter then the Temple, when The Lord still passes in; The one without was first to doubt, The blessing last to win. O cruel! must thy hand be thrust Thy source of life so near; Thy Lord assail, hard as the nail, Unkinder than the spear? 2 Yet, see, He comes with peace again, With only peace to all; No breathing now upon the brow Where soon the fire shall fall: Scarce will that eye His wounds descry, No hand He now extends; How should that flesh be probed afresh Here, in the house of friends? 3 So now, thy Lord, thy God confess, Believe and worship, too, And first adore—yet they have more Who deem the witness true. Thy faith has been but what was seen— Blest they who still believe What eye nor ear shall see or hear, Nor heart of man conceive! 4 O, on my body, not on Thine, Lord Jesus, let me see The blessèd marks of love divine, Which Thou hast borne for me; Compunctions sweet on hands and feet, The pierced, the open heart; Or e’er, without one faithless doubt, I see Thou as Thou art.

Thou Didst Toil My Soul To Gain

Author: Henry Alford Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Thou didst toil my soul to gain, Didst redeem me with Thy pain, Be such labor not in vain. Thou just Judge of wrath severe, Grant my sins remission here, Ere Thy reckoning day appear. My transgressions grievous are, Scarce look up for shame I dare. Lord, Thy guilty suppliant spare. 2 Thou didst heal the sinner’s grief, And didst hear the dying thief— Even I may hope relief. All unworthy is my prayer; Make my soul Thy mercy’s care, And from fire eternal spare. Place me with Thy sheep—that band Who shall separated stand From the goats, on Thy right hand. 3 When Thy voice in wrath shall say, "Cursèd ones, depart away!" Call me with the blest, I pray. Lord, Thine ear in mercy bow; Broken is my heart and low: Guard of my last end be Thou. In that day, that mournful day, When to judgment wakes our clay, Show me mercy, Lord, I pray.
