O Eden, Dear Eden

Author: Frances Jane (Fanny) Crosby Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #4781 First Line: There's a land unseen by our mortal eyes Lyrics: 1. There’s a land unseen by our mortal eyes, And its joys no tongue can tell; Where in robes of white, in its vales of light, We shall meet, and forever dwell. Refrain O Eden, dear Eden, Home bright and fair, Soon our bark will land on thy golden stand, And our rest will be glorious there. 2. Though our ties may break and our hearts may grieve, While the cross on earth we bear; There is joy at last, when our voyage is past, And our rest will be glorious there. [Refrain] 3. Let us look above when the clouds are dark, Let us look by faith and prayer; Then we’ll anchor safe o’er the storm girt wave, And our rest will be glorious there. [Refrain] 4. We shall meet ere long in a world of song, And its fadeless beauty share; We shall meet and sing through eternal spring, And our rest will be glorious there.

Jesus Hail

Author: Lewis Conger Lockwood Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #12624 First Line: ’Tis a calm, still night Refrain First Line: O Jesus! dear Jesus! dear Jesus, hail Lyrics: 1 ’Tis a calm, still night, With the moon’s pale light Shining soft over hill and vale; But my heart, mute with grief, Looks up for relief, And a friend I in Jesus hail. Refrain: O Jesus! dear Jesus! dear Jesus, hail! Now my aching bosom has balm for woe, As I pass through life’s lonely vale. 2 O the cheek that glowed, As the rose tint blowed, See the hand of disease turn pale; And the death damp falls now, On my fevered brow, Yet a friend I in Jesus hail. [Refrain] 3 With Him I’ll be blest, In the land of rest, When my heart and my flesh shall fail; When this dust lieth low, I to Heav’n shall go, And a friend in my Jesus hail. [Refrain] 4 When o’er my grave, Flowers gently wave, As the stream ripples through the vale, Then with angels I’ll sing, And make Heaven ring, As a friend I in Jesus hail. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: LILLY DALE
