Forever with the Lord!

Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: LHTC1918 #520a (1917) Lyrics: 1 Forever with the Lord! Amen! so let it be; Life from the dead is in that word, 'Tis immortality. 2 Here in the body pent, Absent from Him, I roam, Yet nightly pitch my moving tent A day's march nearer home. 3 My Father's house on high, Home of my soul! how near At times to faith's far-seeing eye Thy golden gates appear! 4 Ah, then my spirit faints To reach the land I love, The bright inheritance of saints, Jerusalem above! 5 For ever with the Lord! Father, if 'tis Thy will, The promise of that faithful word E'en here to me fulfill. 6 Be Thou at my right hand, Then can I never fail; Uphold Thou me, and I shall stand, Fight, and I must prevail. 7 So when my dying breath Shall rend the veil in twain, By death I shall escape from death To life eternal gain. 8 Knowing as I am known, How shall I love that word, And oft repeat before the throne, "Forever with the Lord!" Amen. Topics: The Life Everlasting Heaven Languages: English Tune Title: MORNINGTON

Jerusalem, thou city fair and high

Author: Johann Matthaeus Meyfart; Catherine Winkworth Hymnal: LHTC1918 #521 (1917) Lyrics: 1 Jerusalem, thou city fair and high, Would God I were in thee! My longing heart fain, fain to thee would fly! It will not stay with me; Far over vale and mountain, Far over field and plain, It hastes to seek its fountain And quit this world of pain. 2 O happy day, and yet far happier hour, When wilt thou come at last? When fearless to my Father's love and power, Whose promise standeth fast, My soul I gladly render; For surely will His hand Lead her, with guidance tender, To heaven her fatherland. 3 O what the nation, what the glorious host, Comes sweeping swiftly down? The chosen ones on earth who wrought the most The Church's brightest crown, Our Lord hath sent to meet me; As in the far-off years, Their words oft came to greet me In yonder land of tears. 4 The partiarchs' and prophets' noble train, With all Christ's followers true, Who bore the cross, and could the worst disdain That tyrants dared to do-- I see them shine for ever, All-glorious as the sun, 'Mid light that fadeth never,-- Their perfect freedom won. 5 And when within that lovely Paradise At last I safely dwell, From out my soul what songs of bliss shall rise! What joy my lips shall tell! While holy saints are singing Hosannas o'er and o'er, Pure alleluias ringing Around me evermore! Amen.

Thy Word, O God, declareth

Author: Johann Walther; Alfred Ramsey Hymnal: LHTC1918 #523 (1917) Lyrics: 1 Thy Word, O God, declareth No man hath seen or heard The joys our God prepareth For them that love their Lord. Their eyes shall see Thy glory, Thy face, Thy throne, Thy might; With shouts shall they adore Thee, The true, eternal Light. 2 With Thee, their warfare ended, Thy saints, from earth released, Shall keep, with glories splendid, Eternal holy feast. There shall Thy sons and daughters The tree of life partake, Shall drink the living waters; And bread with Thee shall break. 3 Thy constant praises sounding Before Thy great white throne, They all in joy abounding Shall sing the song unknown; Laud, honor, praise, thanksgiving And glory ever be To Thee, the Everlasting And Blessèd Trinity. Amen. Topics: The Life Everlasting Heaven Languages: English Tune Title: ST. ANSELM

Jerusalem, my happy home

Author: Joseph Bromehead Hymnal: LHTC1918 #524 (1917) Lyrics: 1 Jerusalem, my happy home, Name ever dear to me! When shall my labors have an end In joy, and peace, and thee? 2 When shall these eyes thy heaven-built walls And pearly gates behold. Thy bulwarks with salvation strong, And streets of shining gold? 3 There happier bowers than Eden's bloom, No sin nor sorrow know; Blest seats! through rude and stormy scenes I onward press to you. 4 What should I shrink at pain and woe, Or feel at death dismay! I've Canaan's goodly land in view, And realms of endless day. 5 Apostles, martyrs, prophets there Around my Saviour stand; And soon my friends in Christ below Will join the glorious band. 6 Jerusalem, my happy home! My soul still pants for thee; Then shall my labors have an end, When I thy joys shall see. Amen. Topics: The Life Everlasting Heaven Languages: English Tune Title: SOUTHWELL

O Mother dear, Jerusalem!

Hymnal: LHTC1918 #525 (1917) Lyrics: 1 O Mother dear, Jerusalem! When shall I come to thee? When shall my sorrows have an end? Thy joys when shall I see? O happy harbor of the saints! O sweet and pleasant soil! In thee no sorrow may be found, No grief, no care, no toil. 2 No murky cloud o’ershadows thee, No cold nor darksome night; But every soul shines as the sun, For God Himself gives light. O my sweet home Jerusalem, Thy joys when shall I see? The King that sitteth on thy throne In His felicity? 3 Thy gardens and thy gallant walks Continually are green, There grow such sweet and pleasant flowers As nowhere else are seen. Quite through the streets, with silver sound, The flood of life doth flow, Upon whose banks, on every side, The wood of life doth grow. 4 There trees forevermore bear fruit, And evermore do spring; There evermore the angels are, And evermore do sing. Jerusalem, my happy home, Would God I were in thee; Would God my woes were at an end, Thy joys that I might see! Amen. Topics: The Life Everlasting Heaven Languages: English Tune Title: MATERNA

The world is very evil

Author: Bernard of Cluny; John Mason Neale Hymnal: LHTC1918 #526 (1917) Lyrics: 1 The world is very evil, The times are waxing late; Be sober and keep vigil; The Judge is at the gate; The Judge that comes in mercy, The Judge that comes with might, That comes to end the evil, That comes to crown the right. 2 Arise, arise, good Christian, Let right to wrong succeed; Let penitential sorrow To heavenly gladness lead; To light that hath no evening, That knows no moon nor sun, The light so new and golden, The light that is but one. 3 And when the Sole-Begotten Shall render up once more The kingdom to the Father Whose own it was before, Then glory yet unheard of Shall shed abroad its ray, Resolving all enigmas, And endless Sabbath-day. Amen. Topics: The Life Everlasting Heaven Languages: English Tune Title: CRÜGER

Brief life is here our portion

Author: Bernard of Cluny; John Mason Neale Hymnal: LHTC1918 #527 (1917) Lyrics: 1 Brief life is here our portion; Brief sorrow, short-lived care; The life that knows no ending, The tearless life is there. 2 O happy retribution! Short toil, eternal rest, For mortals and for sinners A mansion with the blest. 3 That we should look, poor wanderers To have or home on high! That we should seek for dwellings beyond the starry sky! 4 And now we fight the battle, But then shall wear the crown Of full and everlasting And passionless renown. 5 For Thee, O dear, dear Country! Mine eyes their vigils keep; For very love, beholding Thy happy name, they weep; 6 The mention of thy glory In unction to the breast. And medicine in sickness And love, and life, and rest. 7 Thou hast no shore, fair ocean! thou hast no time, bright ay! Dear fountain of refreshment To pilgrims far away! 8 Upon the Rock of Ages They raise thy holy tower; Thine is the victor's laurel, And thine the golden dower. Amen.

Jerusalem the golden

Author: Bernard of Cluny; John Mason Neale Hymnal: LHTC1918 #528 (1917) Lyrics: 1 Jerusalem, the golden, With milk and honey blest, Beneath thy contemplation Sink heart and voice oppressed; I know not, O I know not, What social joys are there, What radiancy of glory, What light beyond compare! 2 And when I fain would sing them My spirit fails and faints, And vainly would it image Th'assembly of the saints. They stand, those hall of Sion, Conjubilant with song, And bright with many an angel, And all the martyr throng: 3 There is the Throne of David; And there, from care released, The song of them that triumph, The shout of them that feast; And they who, with their Leader, Have conquered in the fight, For ever and for ever Are clad in robes of white! Amen. Topics: The Life Everlasting Heaven Languages: English Tune Title: EWING
