Heavenward doth our journey tend

Author: Schmolck; Catherine Winkworth Hymnal: Lyra Germanica #47 (1861) Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Lyrics: Heavenward doth our journey tend, We are strangers here on earth, Through the wilderness we wend Towards the Canaan of our birth. Here we roam a pilgrim band, Yonder is our native land. Heavenward stretch, my soul, thy wings, Heavenly nature canst thou claim, There is nought of earthly things Worthy to be all thine aim; Every soul that God inspires Back to Him, its Source, aspires. Heavenward! doth His Spirit cry, When I hear Him in His Word, Showing thus the rest on high, Where I shall be with my Lord: When His Word fills all my thought, < p class="t0">Oft to heaven my soul is caught. Heavenward ever would I haste, When Thy table, Lord, is spread; Heavenly strength on earth I taste, Feeding on the Living Bread; Such is e'en on earth our fare, Who Thy marriage feast shall share. Heavenward! Faith discerns the prize That is waiting us afar, And my heart would swiftly rise, High o'er sun and moon and star, To that Light behind the veil Where all earthly splendours pale. Heavenward Death shall lead at last, To the home where I would be, All my sorrows overpast, I shall triumph there with Thee, Jesus, who hast gone before, That we too might Heavenward soar. Heavenward! Heavenward! Only this Is my watchword on the earth; For the love of heavenly bliss Counting all things little worth. Heavenward all my being tends, Till in Heaven my journey ends.

Heavenward doth our journey tend

Author: Schmolck Hymnal: Chorale Book for England, The #65 (1863) Lyrics: 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. Heavenward! This thall 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.
