From Every Earthly Pleasure
Author: Eliel Davis Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 80 hymnals Lyrics: 1 From every earthly pleasure
From every transient joy,
From every mortal treasure
That soon will fade and die:
No longer these desiring,
Upward our wishes tend,
No nobler bliss aspiring,
And joys that never end.
2 From every piercing sorrow
That heaves our breast today,
Or threatens us tomorrow—
Hope turns our eyes away;
On wings of faith ascending,
We see the land of light;
And feel our sorrows ending
In infinite delight.
3 ’Tis true we are but strangers
And sojourners here below;
And countless snares and dangers
Surround the path we go;
Though painful and distressing,
There is a rest above,
And onward we are pressing
To reach that land of love. Used With Tune: KENSAL GREEN

The Three Mountains
Author: Philip P. Bliss Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Between me and my Savior Lyrics: 1 Between me and my Savior
Three mighty mountains rose,
That all my way and ever
My coming did oppose;
And darkness gathered round me,
The light was growing dim,
Until my Savior found me,
And now I rest in Him.
2 I waited for a feeling,
Some new mysterious power,
A heavenly light revealing
My heart as ne’er before;
The mountain dark and gloomy
Concealed a loving Lord,
Until His voice came to me—
"My child, believe My Word."
3 I waited for a fitness,
To pray would be a sin!
My past life bore the witness
How vile my heart had been:
This mountain crushed my spirit,
Till God deliverance gave—
'’Twas sinners without merit
That Jesus came to save."
4 And then my fear of failing
Of hopes indulged in vain,
Of efforts unavailing
Eternal life to gain:
This mountain rose before me,
I called for help divine;
Said Jesus, "Dost thou love Me?
Then rest thy life in Mine." Used With Tune: KENSAL GREEN Text Sources: Gospel Songs: a choice collection of hymns and tunes, Cincinnati: John Church & Company)
