Evergreen Mountains

Author: T. C. O'K Hymnal: JW1878 #22 (1879) First Line: There's a home for the soul Lyrics: 1 There's a home for the soul In the "land far away," That no evil can ever invade; And the Lamb is the light Of its unending day, And prevents any darkening shade. 'Tis a mansion prepared By our Brother and Friend, And for all who are faithful and true to the end, He will lead us as upward our footsteps shall tend, To the evergreen mountains of life. 2 There's a home for the soul In the land "over there," Where no weariness ever can come; Where the spirit is free From all trouble and care, Sweetly resting with Jesus, at home. 'Tis a glorious rest For the servants of God, In a land more delightful than mortals e'er trod, Where they walk with the saints and the Savior abroad, Thro' the evergreen mountains of life. 3 There's a home for the soul In the "sweet by and by," Where is felt neither sorrow nor pain; Where no tears ever fall, Nor is heard any sigh, But where pleasures eternally reign. 'Tis a land of delight And of unmeasured bliss, Full of soul-thrilling rapture that never shall cease, Where forever flows onward the River of Peace, From the evergreen mountains of life.

Tho' often here my soul is sad, And falls the silent tear. There is a world where all are glad, And sorrow dwells not there. 2 I never grasp a friendly hand In greeting or farewell, But thoughts of an eternal home Within my bosom swell. A prayer to meet in heaven at last, Where all the ransomed come, And where eternal ages still Shall find us all at home. Languages: English Tune Title: [There's not a bright and beaming smile]

Nothing but Leaves

Hymnal: JW1878 #25 (1879) First Line: Nothing but leaves! The spirit grieves Lyrics: 1 Nothing but leaves! The spirit grieves O'er years of wasted life; O'er sins indulged while conscience slept, O'er vows and promises unkept, And reap from years of strife Nothing but leaves! 2 Nothing but leaves! No gathered sheaves, Of life's fair ripening grain: We sow our seeds; lo! tares and weeds, Words, idle words, for earnest deeds, Then reap, with toil and pain, Nothing but leaves! 3 Ah, who shall thus the Master meet, And bring but withered leaves? Ah, who shall at the Savior's feet, Before the awful judgment-seat, Lay down for golden sheaves, Nothing but leaves! Languages: English

Ninety and Nine

Hymnal: JW1878 #26 (1879) First Line: There were ninety and nine that safely lay Lyrics: 1 There were ninety and nine that safely lay In the shelter of the fold, But one was out on the hills away, Far off from the gates of gold-- Away on the mountains wild and bare, Away from the tender Shepherd's care. 2 "Lord, thou hast here thy ninety and nine: Are they not enough for Thee?" But the Shepherd made answer: "'Tis one of mine Has wandered away from me: And although the road be rough and steep I go to the desert to find my sheep." 3 But none of the ransomed ever knew How deep were the waters crossed; Nor how dark was the night that the Lord passed through Ere he found his sheep that was lost. Out in the desert he heard its cry-- Sick and helpless, and ready to die. 4 But all through the mountains, thunder-riven, And up from the rocky steep, There rose a cry to the gate of heaven "Rejoice! I have found my sheep!" And the angels echoed around the throne, "Rejoice, for the Lord brings back his own!" Languages: English
