Hymnal: LM1867 #44 (1867) First Line: We are on our journey home Lyrics: 1 We are on our journey home, Where Christ our Lord is gone; We shall meet around his throne, When he makes his people one, In the new Jerusalem. 3 We can see that distant home, Though clouds rise dark between; Faith views the radiant dome, And a luster flashes keen, From the new Jerusalem. 3 O glory shining far From the never-setting sun! O trembling morning star! Our journey's almost done, To the new Jerusalem. 4 O holy, heavenly home! O rest eternal there! When shall the exiles come, Where they cease from earthly care, In the new Jerusalem. Languages: English Tune Title: [We are on our journey home]

Eminence

Hymnal: LM1867 #45 (1867) First Line: There is a land of pure delight Lyrics: 1 There is a land of pure delight, Where saints in glory reign; Eternal day excludes the night, And pleasures banish pain. 2 There everlasting spring abides, And never with'ring flowers; Death, like a narrow sea, divides This heavenly land from ours. 3 Sweet fields beyond the swelling flood, Stand dressed in living green; So to the Jews old Canaan stood, While Jordan rolled between. 1 Ye men and angels, witness now,-- Before the Lord we speak, To him we make our solemn vow,-- A vow we dare not break; 2 That long as life itself shall last, Ourselves to Christ we yield; Nor from his cause will we depart, Or ever quit the field. 3 We trust not in our native strength, But on his grace rely; May he, with our returning wants, All needful aid supply. 4 O, guide our doubtful feet aright, And keep us in thy ways; And, while we turn our vows to pray'rs, Turn thou our pray'rs to praise.

Beautiful World

Hymnal: LM1867 #46 (1867) First Line: We are going home, we've had visions bright Refrain First Line: Beautiful world! Beautiful world! Lyrics: 1 We are going home, we've had visions bright Of that holy land, that world of light; Where the long, dark night of time is past, And the morn eternal dawns at last. Where the weary saint no more shall roam, But dwell in a happy, peaceful home. Where the brow with sparkling gems is crowned, And the waves of bliss are flowing round. Chorus: Beautiful world! Beautiful world! Beautiful world! O, that beautiful world! 2 We are going home, and we soon shall be Where the sky is clear and all are free; Where the victor's song floats o'er the plains, Where the seraphs' anthems blend with its strains; Where the sun pours down its brilliant flood, And beams on a world that's fair and good; Where the stars, once dimmed at nature's doom. Will ever shine o'er the new earth's bloom. [Chorus] 3 'Mid the ransomed throng, 'mid the sea of bliss, 'Mid the holy city's gorgeousness, 'Mid the verdant plains, 'mid the angels' cheer, 'Mid the saints that round the throne appear; Where the conqueror's song, as it sounds afar, Is wafted on the ambrosial air; Through the endless years we then shall prove The riches of a Savior's love. [Chorus] Languages: English Tune Title: [We are going home, we've had visions bright]

Beautiful World

Hymnal: LM1867 #47 (1867) First Line: A home in heaven! what a joyful thought Lyrics: 1 A home in heaven! what a joyful thought, As the poor man toils in his weary lot; His heart oppressed and with anguish riven, From his home below to his home in heaven. A home in heaven! As the sufferer lies On his bed of pain, and uplifts his eyes To that bright home, what a joy is given, With the blessed thought of a home in heaven! Sweet home in heaven! Sweet home in heaven! Sweet home in heaven! O that sweet home in heaven! 2 A home in heaven! when our friends are fled To the cheerless gloom of the moldering dead, We wait in hope on the promise given, We will meet up there, in our home in heaven. Our home in heaven! O the glorious home! And the Spirit joined to the Bride says "Come: Come seek his face and your sins forgiven, And rejoice in the hope of your home in heaven." Sweet home in heaven! Sweet home in heaven! Sweet home in heaven! O that sweet home in heaven! Languages: English

Iowa

Hymnal: LM1867 #47c (1867) First Line: From whence doth this union arise Lyrics: 1 From whence does this union arise, That hatred is conquered by love? It hastens our souls with such ties, That distance nor time can remove. 2 It can not in Eden be found, Nor yet in a Paradise lost; It grows on Immanuel's ground, And Jesus' life blood it has cost. 3 My friends so endeared unto me, Our souls so united in love, Where Jesus is gone we shall be, In yonder blest mansions above. 4 And then we shall see that bright day, And join with the angels above; Set free from our prisons of clay, United in Jesus' kind love.

Chorus: O! then, be up and doing now-- Doing some good work for the Lord; Ever in your pathway strewing, Holy precepts from his Word. 2 If you can not, in the jungle, Far in foreign lands away, Teach the poor, benighted heathen To forsake their sins and pray; You can send the means to help them The pure light of truth to find; You can aid the missionary, Thus to christianize their mind. [Chorus] 3 O! then, pray be up and doing Some good work for Christ, the Lord; Ever in your pathway strewing Holy precepts from his Word; That some poor benighted creatures May their evil ways forsake. And from Christ the Lord, the Giver, His own righteousness partake. [Chorus] 4 Then you can look forward, happy In the thought of doing good; Hear the welcome plaudit given, "You my words have underwood; You have truly preached my Gospel, You have now proclaimed my Word; You have been a true disciple; Now rejoice in Christ your Lord."

Buttercups and daisies

Hymnal: LM1867 #52 (1867) Lyrics: 1 Buttercups and daisies-- O, the pretty flowers, Coming here in spring-time To tell of sunny hours. While the trees are leafless, While the fields are bare, Buttercups and daisies Spring up here and there. Buttercups and daisies-- O, the pretty flowers, Coming here in spring-time To tell of sunny hours. 2 Ere the snowdrop peepeth, Ere the crocus bold; Ere the early primrose, Opes its paly gold, Somewere on a sunny bank, Buttercups are bright; Somewhere 'mong the frozen grass, Peeps the daisy white. Buttercups and daisies-- O, the pretty flowers, Coming here in spring-time To tell of sunny hours. 3 Little hardy flowers, Like to children poor, Playing in their sturdy health, By their mother's door; Purple with the north wind, Yet alert and bold, Fearing not and caring not, Though they be a-cold. Buttercups and daisies-- O, the pretty flowers, Coming here in spring-time To tell of sunny hours. 4 What to them is weather? What are stormy showers? Buttercups and daisies Are these human flowers; He who gave them hardship And a life of care, Gave them likewise hardy strength, And patient hearts, to bear, Buttercups and daisies-- O, the pretty flowers, Coming here in spring-time To tell of sunny hours. 5 Welcome yellow buttercups, Welcome daisies white, Ye are in my spirit Visioned, a delight! Coming, ere the spring-time, Of sunny hours to tell-- Speaking to our hearts of him Who doeth all things well. Buttercups and daisies-- O, the pretty flowers, Coming here in spring-time To tell of sunny hours. Languages: English Tune Title: [Buttercups and daisies]
