Fade, fade, each earthly joy

Hymnal: SSBR1909 #148 (1903) Lyrics: 1 Fade, fade each earthly joy; Jesus is mine, Break every tender tie; Jesus is mine. Dark is the wilderness, Earth has no restingplace, Jesus alone can bless; Jesus is mine. 2 Tempt not my soul away; Jesus is mine. Here would I ever stay; Jesus is mine. Perishing things of clay, Born but for one brief day, Pass from my heart away; Jesus is mine. 3 Farewell, ye dreams of night; Jesus is mine; Lost in this dawning light, Jesus is mine. All that my soul has tried, Left but a dismal void; Jesus has satisfied; Jesus is mine. 4 Farewell, mortality; Jesus is mine. Welcome, eternity; Jesus is mine. Welcome, O loved and blest, Welcome, sweet scenes of rest, Welcome, my Saviour's breast: Jesus is mine. Topics: The Christian Graces; Hope The Cross

On Jordan's rugged banks I stand

Hymnal: SSBR1909 #149 (1903) Lyrics: 1 On Jordan's rugged banks I stand, And cast a wishful eye To Canaan's fair and happy land, Where my possessions lie. 2 Oh, the transporting, rapturous scene, That rises to my sight! Sweet fields arrayed in living green, And rivers of delight! 3 O'er all those wide extended plains Shines one eternal day; There God, the sun, for ever reigns, And scatters night away. 4 No chilling winds or poisonous breath Can reach that healthful shore; Sickness and sorrow, pain and death, Are felt and feared no more. 5 When shall I reach that happy place, And be for ever blest? When shall I see my Father's face, And in His bosom rest? 6 Filled with delight, my raptured soul Can here no longer stay; Though Jordan's waves around me roll, Fearless I'd launch away.

Where is the Friend?

Hymnal: SSBR1909 #150 (1903) First Line: Where is the Friend for whom I'm ever yearning? Lyrics: 1 Where is the Friend for whom I'm ever yearning? My longing grows when day to night is turning; And though I find Him not as day recedeth, My heart still pleadeth. 2 I know He's there in every force and power, Where waves the harvest and where blooms the flower; I'm ever in my breath and sighs so burning, His love discerning. 3 When summer winds blow gently, then I hear Him; Where sing the birds, where rush the streams, I'm near Him; But better far when in my heart He blesses Me with caresses. 4 And yet to hide Him oft a cloud prevaileth; My prayer can reach Him, but my vision faileth. Would I could see His face and heart so loving, And cease my roving. 5 Oh, where such beauty is itself revealing In all that lives, through all creation stealing. What must the source be whence it comes, the Giver? Beauty forever. 6 Oh, light and peace, salvation's sparkling fountain, Shall I thy source behold from Zion's mountain? Who brings me to thy rills in rapture plying? A peaceful dying! 7 My soul, be strong! Hope, pray with self-denial! The heavenly Friend submits Himself to trial: So shalt thou find in Him, on Him depending, Mercy unending. 8 Soon, in the harbor, where no waves are breaking, Or like the weary dove her refuge taking, Thou, timorous lamb, shalt by thy Shepherd's favor Find rest for ever.

I'm a pilgrim, and I'm a stranger

Hymnal: SSBR1909 #151 (1903) Lyrics: 1 I'm a pilgrim, and I'm a stranger, I can tarry, I can tarry but a night; Do not detain me, for I am going To where the fountains are ever flowing: I'm a pilgrim, and I'm a stranger, I can tarry, I can tarry but a night. 2 There the glory is ever shining; Oh, my longing heart, my longing heart is there; Here in this country so dark and dreary: I long have wandered, forlorn and weary: I'm a pilgrim, and I'm a stranger, I can tarry, I can tarry but a night. 3 Of the city to which I'm going My Redeemer, my Redeemer is the light; There is no sorrow, nor any sighing, Nor any sinning, nor any dying: Of the city to which I'm going My Redeemer, my Redeemer is the light.

Joyfully, joyfully, onward we move

Hymnal: SSBR1909 #152 (1903) Lyrics: 1 Joyfully, joyfully, onward we move, Bound to the land of bright spirits its above; Jesus, our Saviour, in mercy says, Come, Joyfully, joyfully haste to your home. Soon will our pilgrimage end here below, Soon to the presence of God we shall go, Then, if to Jesus our hearts have been given, Joyfully, joyfully, rest we in heaven. 2 Death with its arrows may soon lay us low, Safe in our Saviour, we fear not the blow; Jesus hath broken the bars of the tomb, Joyfully, joyfully, we will go home. Bright will the morn of eternity dawn. Death shall be conquered, his scepter be gone; Over the plains of sweet Canaan we'll roam, Joyfully, joyfully, safely at home.

There is a happy land

Hymnal: SSBR1909 #153 (1903) Lyrics: 1 There is a happy land, Far, far away, Where saints in glory stand, Bright, bright as day. Oh, how they sweetly sing, Worthy is the Saviour King, Loud let His praises ring, Praise, praise for aye! 2 Come to that happy land, Come, come away; Why will ye doubting stand, Why still delay? Oh, we shall happy be, When, from sin and sorrow free, Lord, we shall live with Thee, Blest, blest, for aye. 3 Bright, in that happy land, Beams every eye; Kept by a Father's hand, Love cannot die. Oh, then, to glory run, Be a crown and kingdom won, And, bright above the sun, We reign for aye. Topics: The Christian Graces; Hope Longing for heaven

I will sing you a song of that beautiful land

Hymnal: SSBR1909 #154 (1903) Lyrics: 1 I will sing you a song of that beautiful land, The far away home of the soul, Where no storms ever beat on the glittering strand, While the years of eternity roll. 2 Oh, that home of the soul in my visions and dreams, Its bright, jasper walls I can see; Till I fancy but thinly the veil intervenes Between the fair city and me. 3 That unchangeable home is for you and for me, Where Jesus of Nazareth stands, The King of all kingdoms for ever is He, And He holdeth our crowns in His hands. 4 Oh, how sweet it will be in that beautiful land, So free from all sorrow and pain; With songs on our lips and with harps in our hands, To meet one another again.

There is a land of pure delight

Hymnal: SSBR1909 #155 (1903) Lyrics: 1 There is a land of pure delight, Where saints immortal reign; Infinite day excludes the night; And pleasures banish pain. 2 There everlasting spring abides, And never-withering flowers: Death, like a narrow sea, divides This heavenly land from ours. 3 Sweet fields, beyond the swelling flood, Stand drest in living green: So to the Jews old Canaan stood, While Jordan rolled between. 4 But timorous mortals start and shrink To cross this narrow sea, And linger, shivering, on the brink And fear to launch away. 5 Oh, could we make our doubts remove, Those gloomy doubts that rise, And view the Canaan that we love, With unbeclouded eyes! 6 Could we but climb where Moses stood, And view the landscape o'er, Not Jordan's stream, nor death's cold flood, Should fright us from the shore.

There is a Friend for children

Hymnal: SSBR1909 #156 (1903) First Line: There's a Friend for children Lyrics: 1 There is a Friend for children, Above the bright blue sky, A Friend who never changes, Whose love will never die, Unlike our friends by nature, Who change with changing years, This Friend is always worthy The precious Name He bears. 2 There is a rest for children, Above the bright blue sky, Who love the blessed Saviour, And to the Father cry,-- A rest from every trouble, From sin and danger free; There every little pilgrim Shall rest eternally. 3 There is a home for children, Above the bright blue sky, Where Jesus reigns in glory, A home of peace and joy; No home on earth is like it, Nor can with it compare, For every one is happy, Nor can be happier there. 4 And there are crowns for children Above the bright blue sky, And all who look to Jesus Shall wear them by-and-by; Yea, crowns of brightest glory, Which He shall sure bestow, On all who loved the Saviour And walked with Him below. 5 And there are songs for children Above the bright blue sky, And harps of sweetest music For hymns of victory; And all above is pleasure, And found in Christ alone; Lord, grant Thy little children To know Thee as their own.

Asleep in Jesus! blessed sleep

Hymnal: SSBR1909 #157 (1903) Lyrics: 1 Asleep in Jesus! blessed sleep, From which none ever wakes to weep: A calm and undisturbed repose, Unbroken by the last of foes. 2 Asleep in Jesus! oh, how sweet, To be for such a slumber meet! With holy confidence to sing That death has lost its venomed sting! 3 Asleep in Jesus, peaceful rest, Whose waking is supremely blest; No fear, no woe shall dim that hour That manifests the Saviour's power. 4 Asleep in Jesus, oh, for me May such a blissful refuge be! Securely shall my ashes lie, And wait the summons from on high. Topics: The Christian Graces; Hope Longing for heaven
