The Beautiful Land

Author: Frances Jane (Fanny) Crosby Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #389 Meter: 12.9.12.9 D First Line: We have heard of a land on whose blue, ether skies Lyrics: 1. We have heard of a land on whose blue, ether skies Not a cloud for a moment can stay; And it needs not the sun in his splendor to rise For the Lord is the light of its day; We have heard of that land, and its glory we seek, Where the faithful with Jesus shall dwell, Where the roses of youth never fade from the cheek, And the lips never murmur, Farewell.; 2. We have talked of that land, when our journey was long, And our hearts overburdened with care; We have talked of the blest at the river of song, And how oft we have sighed to be there; And our faith has gone up, like a bird on the wing, To that land on eternity’s shore, Where the joy bells of Eden forever shall ring, And the soul shall be weary no more. 3. We are nearing that land, we are nearing the gate, To the city of jasper and gold, Where the Savior to welcome His children doth wait, And will gather them into the fold; To the fold of His love, in the mansions above, Where forever with Him they shall dwell, And the eyes that were sad in His smile shall be glad, And the lips never murmur, Farewell.

The City Of Light

Author: Aldine S. Kieffer Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #4673 Meter: 12.9.12.9 D First Line: There’s a city of light 'mid the stars, we are told Refrain First Line: Let us pray for each other Lyrics: 1 There’s a city of light 'mid the stars, we are told, Where they know not a sorrow or care; And the gates are of pearl, and the streets are of gold, And the building exceedingly fair. Refrain: Let us pray for each other, nor faint by the way In this sad world of sorrow and care, For that home is so bright, and is almost in sight, And I trust in my heart you’ll go there. 2 Brother dear, never fear—we shall triumph at last If we trust in the word He has giv’n; When our trials and toils, and our weepings are past, We shall meet in that home up in Heav’n. [Refrain] 3 Sister dear, never fear—for the Savior is near, With His hand He will lead you along; And the way that is dark Christ will graciously clear, And your mourning shall turn to a song. [Refrain] 4 Let us walk in the light pf the Gospel divine, Let us ever keep near to the cross; Let us love, watch and pray, in our pilgrimage here, Let us count all things else but as loss.

They Have Gone to the Land

Author: Unknown Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #6630 Meter: 12.9.12.9 D First Line: They have gone to the land where the patriarchs rest Lyrics: 1. They have gone to the land where the patriarchs rest, Where the bones of the prophets are laid, Where the chosen of Israel the promise possessed, And Jehovah His mandate displayed. To the land where the Savior of sinners once trod, Where He labored and languished and died; Where He triumphed o’er death and ascended to God, As He captive captivity led. 2. They have gone to the land where the Gospel’s glad sound Sweetly tuned by the angels above Was re-echoed on earth thro’ the regions around, In the accents of heavenly love. Where the Spirit descended in tokens of flame, The rich gifts of His grace to reveal; Where apostles wrought signs in Immanuel’s name, For the truth of their mission to seal. 3. They have gone—the glad heralds of mercy—have gone, To the land where the martyrs once bled; Where the beasts and false prophet have since trodden down, The fair fabric that Zion had reared. Where the churches once planted, and watered, and blessed, With the dews of the Spirit distilled, Have been smitten, despoiled! and by heathen possessed, And the places that knew them defiled. 4. They have gone, O Thou Shepherd of Israel! have gone, The glad mission in love to restore; Thou wilt never forsake them or leave them alone, Thy rich blessings we humbly implore. Let Thy blessing go with them—O be Thou their shield From the shafts of the fowler that fly; O Thou Savior of sinners! Thine arm be revealed In Thy mercy and might from on high.
