Hail! ye sighing sons of sorrow

Hymnal: SOZ1821 #51 (1821) Meter: 8.7 Lyrics: 1. Hail! ye sighing sons of sorrow,Learn from me your certain doom;Learn from me your fate tomorrow,Dead, perhaps laid in your tomb!See all nature fading, dying!Silent all things seem to pine;Life from vegetation flying,Brings to mind the moldering vine.2. See! in yonder forest standing,Lofty cedars, how they nod!Scenes of nature how surprising,Read in nature nature's God.While the annual frosts are cropping,Leaves and tendrils from the trees,So our friends are early drooping,We are like to one of these.3. Hollow winds about me roaring,Noisy waters round me rise;While I sit my fate deploring,Tears fast streaming from my eyesWhat to me is autumn's treasureSince I know no earthly joy,Long I've lost all youthful pleasure,Time must youth and health destroy. Tune Title: THE MOULDERING VINE

Hear what the voice from heaven proclaims

Hymnal: SOZ1821 #52 (1821) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1. Hear what the voice from heaven proclaims,For all the pious dead;Sweet is the savor of their names,And soft their sleeping bed.2. They die in Jesus, and are blest;How kind their slumbers are!From sufferings and from sins released,And freed from every snare.3. Far from this world of toil and strife,Now present with the Lord;The labors of their mortal lifeEnd in a large reward.4. The glory of their heavenly crownUnfading still remains;And life eternal, now their own,Their Savior still maintains. Tune Title: PATMOS

Ye worlds of light that roll so near

Hymnal: SOZ1821 #53 (1821) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1. Ye worlds of light, that roll so nearThe Savior's throne of shining bliss,O tell, how mean your glories are,How faint and few, compared with his!2. We sing the bright and morning star,Jesus, the source of light and love;His purest rays, diffused from far,Conduct us to the realms above.3. 'Midst gloomy darkness spread abroad,This light directs the pilgrim's way;Still, as he goes, he finds the roadThat leads him safe to endless day.4. When we shall reach the glorious height,Where this bright star shall brightest shine,Leave far behind these scenes of night,And view the luster all divine. Tune Title: MORNING-STAR

From all that's mortal, all that's vain

Hymnal: SOZ1821 #54 (1821) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1. From all that's mortal, all that's vain,And from this earthly clod:Arise my soul and strive to gain,Sweet fellowship with God.2. Say, what is there beneath the skies,In all the paths thou'st trod;Can suit thy wishes or thy joys,Like fellowship with God.3. Not life, nor all the toys of art,Nor pleasure's flowery road;Can to my soul such bliss impart,As fellowship with God.4. Not health, nor friendship here below,Nor wealth that golden load;Can such delight or comfort show,As fellowship with God.5. When I am made in love to bear,Affliction's needful rod;Light, sweet and kind the strokes appear,Through fellowship with God.6. In fierce temptation's fiery blast,Or dark desertion's road;I'm happy if I can but taste,Some fellowship with God. Tune Title: LEBANON
