A Few More Years Shall Roll

Author: Horatius Bonar Hymnal: HCH11927 #61 (1927) Lyrics: 1 A few more years shall roll, A few more seasons come, And we shall be with those that rest, Asleep within the tomb. A few more suns shall set O'er these dark hills of time, And we shall be where suns are not, A far serener clime. 2 A few more storms shall beat On this wild rocky shore, And we shall be where tempests cease, And surges swell no more. A few more struggles here, A few more partings o'er, A few more toils, a few more tears, And we shall weep no more. 3 'Tis but a little while, And He shall come again, Who died that we might live, who lives That we with Him might reign; Then, O my Lord, prepare My soul for that glad day; O wash me in Thy precious blood, And take my sins away.

Standing At The Portal

Author: Frances R. Havergal Hymnal: HCH11927 #62 (1927) Refrain First Line: Onward then, and fear not, children of the day Lyrics: 1 Standing at the portal Of the opening year, Words of comfort meet us, Hushing ev'ry fear; Spoken thro' the silence By our Father's voice, Tender, strong, and faithful, Making us rejoice. Chorus: Onward, then, and fear not, Children of the day! For His word shall never, Never pass away. 2 "I, the Lord, am with thee, Be thou not afraid; I will help and strengthen, Be thou not dismayed. Yea, I will uphold thee With My own right hand; Thou art called and chosen In my sight to stand." [Chorus] 3 For the year before us, Oh, what rich supplies! For the poor and needy Living streams shall rise; For the sad and sinful Shall His grace abound; For the faint and feeble Perfect strength be found. [Chorus] 4 He will never fail us, He will not forsake; His eternal cov'nant He will never break! Resting on His promise, What have we to fear? God is all sufficient For the coming year.

Go Forth, My Heart, And Seek Delight

Author: Paul Gerhardt Hymnal: HCH11927 #63 (1927) Meter: 8.8.7.8.8.7 Lyrics: 1 Go forth, my heart, and seek delight, While summer reigns so fair and bright, View God's abundance daily, The bounty of these gardens see, Behold how they for me and thee Have decked themselves so gaily. 2 The trees with spreading leaves are bless'd, The earth her barren soil has dress'd In green so young and tender. Narcissus and the tulip fair Are cloth'd in raiment far more rare Than Solomon in splendor. 3 Fast grows the wheat, like waving gold, And gives delight to young and old; They praise with glad thanksgiving Him who through mercy measureless Vouchsafed the soul of man to bless With goods that grace his living. 4 Thy splendor, Lord, doth shine so bright And fills us with such pure delight While here on earth abiding; What, then, may be in store for me And all who heaven's glory see, In golden halls residing? 5 Oh, choose me for Thy Paradise, While yet I dwell beneath the skies, But let me flourish ever. With Thee alone will I abide, Thine honor serve, and none beside, Till soul and body sever. Topics: Spring Languages: English Tune Title: [Go forth, my heart, and seek delight]

Come, Ye Thankful People, Come

Author: H. Alford Hymnal: HCH11927 #64 (1927) Lyrics: 1 Come, ye thankful people, come, Raise the song of harvest home: All is safely gather'd in, Ere the winter storms begin; God, our Maker, doth provide For our wants to be supplied; Come to God's own temple, come, Raise the song of harvest home. 2 All the world is God's own field, Fruit unto His praise to yield; Wheat and tares together sown, Unto joy or sorrow grown: First the blade, and then the ear, Then the full corn shall appear: Lord of harvest, grant that we Wholesome grain and pure may be. 3 For the Lord our God shall come, And shall take His harvest home; From His field shall in that day All offenses purge away; Give His angels charge at last In the fire the tares to cast, But the fruitful ears to store In His garner evermore. 4 Even so, Lord, quickly come, To Thy final harvest home! Gather Thou Thy people in, Free from sorrow, free from sin; There forever purified, In Thy presence to abide: Come, with all Thine angels, come, Raise the glorious harvest home.

Sing To The Lord Of Harvest

Author: J. S. B. Monsell Hymnal: HCH11927 #65 (1927) Lyrics: 1 Sing to the Lord of harvest, Sing songs of love and praise; With joyful hearts and voices Your Hallelujahs raise: By Him the rolling seasons In fruitful order move. Sing to the Lord of harvest A song of happy love. 2 By Him the clouds drop fatness, The deserts bloom and spring; The hills leap up in gladness, The valleys laugh and sing. He filleth with His fullness All things with large increase, He crowns the year with goodness, With plenty and with peace. 3 Bring to His sacred altar The gifts His goodness gave, The golden sheaves of harvest, The souls He died to save; Your hearts lay down before Him, When at His feet we fall, And with your lives adore Him, Who gave His life for all. 4 To God, the gracious Father who made us "very good": To Christ, who, when we wander'd, Restor'd us with His blood: And to the Holy Spirit, Who doth upon us pour His blessed dews and sunshine, Be praise for evermore.

The Year Now Hastens To Its End

Author: E. Boye Hymnal: HCH11927 #66 (1927) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 The year now hastens to its end, Bleak is the countryside; A sad farewell in song I send The fleeting summertide. 2 Soon howls the winter's stormy voice, Things wither and decay; Let nature rest, I will rejoice In God who lives for aye. 3 The sun is cutting short its trail, The night prolongs its sway; God's mighty arm shall never fail, His wisdom never stray. 4 The fading leaves in colors glow And soon are tossed about; God's love for me while here below I nevermore will doubt. 5 I know where joy still has a home, When barren fields are white, 'Tis under heaven's starry dome With angel chorus bright. 6 I know where I for hope may flee When nature fadeth here, On Golgotha, my Savior's tree Stands verdant through the year. 7 With dropping leaves in autumn's rain, Let flowers fade and fall; My faith in Him shall still retain Its leaves and flowers all. 8 He pledges me eternal life, Though winter storms assail; He broke the tomb and won the strife, His promise cannot fail.

How Sweet The Name Of Jesus Sounds

Author: J. Newton Hymnal: HCH11927 #69 (1927) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 How sweet the name of Jesus sounds In a believer's ear!

'Tis manna to the hungry soul, And to the weary rest. 3 Dear Name! the rock on which I build, My shield and hiding-place, My never-failing treas'ry filled With boundless stores of grace; 4 Jesus, my Shepherd, Guardian, Friend, My Prophet, Priest, and King,; My Lord, my Life, my Way, my End, Accept the praise I bring. 5 Weak is the effort of my heart, How cold my warmest thought; But when I see Thee as Thou art, I'll praise Thee as I ought. 6 Till then I would Thy love proclaim With every fleeting breath: And may the music of Thy name Refresh my soul in death.
