When we join th'angelic spirits, In their sweetest, noblest lays, We will sing our Savior's merits-- Gladly chant Immanuel's praise. Topics: The Church Year Easter

Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Heavenly Father, Jesus taught us Trustingly to call Thee ours; Lovingly Thy mercy sought us Early in life's tender hours.

Heed and hear Thy children's prayer. 3 Heavenly Father, Jesus taught us That, where Thou art, we shall be; Hence the Holy Spirit brought us Unto childlike faith in Thee. In Thy house are mansions spacious, For the many ransomed blest! Take us then, O Father gracious! There are home, sweet peace, and rest. Topics: The Catechism Prayer

Heavenward doth our journey tend

Appears in 11 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Heavenward doth our journey tend, Here on earth we are but strangers, Towards our promised Land we wend, Through a wilderness of dangers; Here we roam a pilgrim-band, Yonder is our native land. 2 Heavenward stretch, my soul, thy wings, Thou canst claim a heavenly nature; Cleave not to these earthly things, Thou canst rest not in the creature. Every soul that God inspires, Back to Him, its Source, aspires. 3 Heavenward! doth His Spirit cry, Oft as in His word I hear Him; Pointing to the rest on high Where I shall be ever near Him. When His Word fills all my thought, Oft to heaven my soul is caught. 4 Heavenward still I long to haste, When Thy Supper, Lord, is given; Heavenly strength on earth I taste, Feeding on the Bread of Heaven; Such is e'en on earth our fare, Who Thy marriage feast will share. 5 Heavenward! To that blessed home Death at last will surely lead me; All my trials overcome, Christ with life and joy will feed me; Who Himself hath gone before That we too might heavenward soar. 6 Heavenward! This shall be my cry While a pilgrim here I wander, Passing earth's allurements by For the love of what is yonder; Heavenward all my being tends, Till in Heaven my journey ends.
