Author: Albert E. Brumley Appears in 49 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 6:20 Refrain First Line: O Lord, you know I have no friend like you Lyrics: 1 This world is not my home, I'm just a passing through My treasures are laid up somewhere beyond the blue; The angels beckon me from heaven's open door, And I can't feel at home in this world anymore. Chorus: O Lord, you know I have no friend like you, If heaven's not my home, then Lord what will I do? The angels beckon me from heaven's open door, And I can't feel at home in this world anymore. 2 They're all expecting me, and that's one thing I know, My Savior pardoned me and now I onward go; I know He'll take me thro' tho' I am weak and poor, And I can't feel at home in this world anymore. [Chorus] 3 I have a loving Savior up in glory-land, I don't expect to stop until I with Him stand, He's waiting now for me in heaven's open door, And I can't feel at home in this world anymore. [Chorus] 4 Just up in glory-land we'll live eternally, The saints on every hand are shouting victory, Their songs of sweetest praise drift back from heaven's shore, And I can't feel at home in this world anymore. [Chorus] Used With Tune: [This world is not my home]

The Glory of These Forty Days

Author: Maruice F. Bell (1862-1947) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 35 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 6:16-21 Lyrics: 1 The glory of these forty days we celebrate with songs of praise; for Christ, by whom all things were made, himself has fasted and has prayed. 2 Alone and fasting Moses saw the loving God who gave the law; and to Elijah, fasting, came the steeds and chariots of flame. 3 So Daniel trained his mystic sight, delivered from the lions’ might; and John, the bridegroom’s friend, became the herald of Messiah’s name. 4 Then grant us, Lord, like them to be full oft in fast and prayer with thee; our spirits strengthen with thy grace, and give us joy to see thy face. 5 O Father, Son, and Spirit blest, to thee be every prayer addressed, who art in threefold name adored, from age to age, the only Lord.

All Depends on Our Possessing

Author: Catherine Winkworth, 1827-78 Meter: 8.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 26 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 6:19-34 First Line: All depends on our possessing Lyrics: 1 All depends on our possessing God's abundant grace and blessing, Though all earthly wealth depart. They who trust with faith unshaken By their God are not forsaken And will keep a dauntless heart. 2 He who to this day has fed me And to many joys has led me Is and ever shall be mine. He who ever gently schools me, He who daily guides and rules me Will remain my help divine. 3 Many spend their lives in fretting Over trifles and in getting Things that have no solid ground. I shall strive to win a treasure That will bring me lasting pleasure And that now is seldom found. 4 When with sorrow I am stricken, Hope anew my heart will quicken; All my longing shall be stilled. To His loving-kindness tender Soul and body I surrender, For on God alone I build. 5 Well He knows what best to grant me; All the longing hopes that haunt me, Joy and sorrow, have their day. I shall doubt His wisdom never; As God wills, so be it ever; I commit to Him my way. 6 If my days on earth He lengthen, God my weary soul will strengthen; All my trust in Him I place. Earthly wealth is not abiding, Like a stream away is gliding; Safe I anchor in His grace. Used With Tune: ALLES IST AN GOTTES SEGEN Text Sources: Andächtige Haus-Kirche, Nürnberg, 1676

Not in deception or disguise

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 3 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 6:16-21 Lyrics: 1 Not in deception or disguise Must christians fast or pray; But take their blessed Lord's advice, Which is a diff'rent way. 2 The heart with godly sorrow fill'd, Need never make a show; Their state of mind will be reveal'd In all they at and do. 3 They who are well convinc'd of sin, Will feel a deep distress; Yet differ not from other men, In their external dress. 4 Their fastings, pray'r and abstenence, Are fervent, and sincere; They will not act with mere pretence, Sad countenance to wear. 5 God will not pay a true regard, To such a borrow'd face; Nor grant the future great reward To those who mock his grace. 6 The Lord is not to be deceiv'd, All things are in his view; Our pray'rs by him are not receiv'd, Unless our hearts be true.
