We shall sleep, but not for ever

Hymnal: SSBR1909 #158 (1903) First Line: We shall sleep but not forever Refrain First Line: We shall sleep, but not forever Lyrics: 1 We shall sleep but not for ever, There will be a glorious dawn; We shall meet to part--no never, On the resurrection morn! From the deepest caves of ocean, From the desert and the plain, From the valley and the mountain, Countless throngs shall rise again. Chorus: We shall sleep, but not for ever, There will be a glorious dawn; We shall meet to part--no, never, On the resurrection morn! 2 When we see a precious blossom That we tended with such care Rudely taken from our bosom, How our aching hearts despair! Round its little grave we linger, Till the setting sun is low, Feeling all our hopes have perished With the flower we cherished so. [Chorus] 3 We shall sleep, but not for ever, In the lone and silent grave; Blessed be the Lord that taketh, Blessed be the Lord that gave. In the bright eternal city Death can never, never come! In His own good time He'll call us From our rest to home, sweet home. [Chorus] Topics: The Christian Graces; Hope Longing for heaven

Jerusalem, Jerusalem

Hymnal: SSBR1909 #163 (1903) Lyrics: 1 Jerusalem, Jerusalem, Thou city ever blest, Within thy portals first I find My safety, peace, and rest. Here dangers always threaten me, My days in strife are spent, And labor, sorrow, worry, grief, That is at best their strength. 2 No wonder, then, that more and more My longings do increase, Jerusalem, Jerusalem, For thee, and never cease, My lineage, too, to thee I trace, A stranger in the earth, In thee my burgherhip I have, In thee I have my birth. 3 No wonder, then, that I do long, O blessed home, for thee, Where finally I shall have rest, From sin and sorrow free; Where tears and weeping are no more, Nor death, nor pain, nor night, For former things are passed away In yonder home of light. 4 Now all for me has lost its charm Which here so much is praised, Since on the cross, through faith, I saw My Saviour, Jesus, raised. My goal is fixed, one thing I ask, Whate'er the price may be, Jerusalem, Jerusalem, Soon to arrive in thee. Topics: The Christian Graces; Hope Heavenly Glory

Jerusalem, thou city fair and high

Hymnal: SSBR1909 #164 (1903) Lyrics: 1 Jerusalem, thou city fair and high, Would God I were in thee! My longing heart fain, fain to thee would fly! It will not stay with me; Far over vale and mountain, Far over field and plain, It hastes to seek its Fountain And quit this world of pain. 2 O happy day, and yet far happier hour. When wilt thou come at last? When fearless to my Father's love and power, Whose promise standeth fast, My soul I gladly render, For surely will His hand Lead me with guidance tender To heaven, my fatherland. 3 O Zion, hail! bright city, now unfold The gates of grace to me; How many a time I longed for thee of old, Ere yet I was set free From yon dark life of sadness Yon world of shadowy naught. And God had given the gladness, The heritage I sought. 4 Unnumbered choirs before the shining throne Their joyful anthems raise, And th' heavenly halls re-echo with the tone Of that great hymn of praise, And all its host rejoices, And all its blessed throng Unite their myriad voices In one eternal song.

God make my life a little light

Hymnal: SSBR1909 #165 (1903) Lyrics: 1 God make my life a little light, Within the world to glow,-- A little flame that burneth bright Wherever I may go. 2 God make my life a little flower, That giveth joy to all, Content to bloom in native bower, Although the place be small. 3 God make my life a little song That comforteth the sad, That helpeth others to be strong And makes the singer glad. 4 God make my life a little staff, Whereon the weak may rest, That so what little strength I have May serve my neighbors best. 5 God make my life a little hymn Of tenderness and praise, Of faith that never waxeth dim In all His wondrous ways.
