The Sabbath preparatory to Heaven

Hymnal: BW1867 #8 (1867) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Lord of the Sabbath! hear our vows Lyrics: 1 Lord of the Sabbath! hear our vows On this Thy day, in this Thy house; And own, as grateful sacrifice, The songs which from Thy churches rise. 2 Thine earthly Sabbaths, Lord! we love; But there's a nobler rest above: Thy servants to that rest aspire With ardent hope and strong desire. 3 There languor shall no more oppress; The heart shall feel no more distress; No groans shall mingle with the songs That dwell upon immortal tongues. 4 No gloomy cares shall there annoy, No conscious guilt disturb our joy; But every doubt and fear shall cease, And perfect love give perfect peace. 5 When shall that glorious day begin, Beyond the reach of death or sin, Whose sun shall never more decline, But with unfading lustre shine?

With one consent let all the earth

Hymnal: BW1867 #9 (1867) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 With one consent let all the earth To God their cheerful voices raise; Glad homage pay with awful mirth, And sing before Him songs of praise; 2 Convinced that He is God alone, From whom both we and all proceed-- We, whom He chooses for His own, The flock that He vouchsafes to feed. 3 O enter then, His temple gate, Thence to His courts devoutly press, And still your grateful hymns repeat, And still His Name with praises bless. 4 For He’s the Lord, supremely good, His mercy is forever sure; His truth, which always firmly stood, To endless ages shall endure.

Far from mortal cares retreating

Hymnal: BW1867 #13 (1867) Lyrics: 1 Far from mortal cares retreating, Sordid hopes and fond desires, Here, our willing footsteps meeting, Every heart to heaven aspires; From the Fount of glory beaming, Light celestial cheers our eyes, Mercy from above proclaiming Peace and pardon from the skies. 2 Who shall share this great salvation? Every pure and humble mind; Every kindred, tongue, and nation, From the dross of guilt refined: Blessings all around bestowing, God withholds His care from none, Grace and mercy ever flowing From the fountain of His throne. 3 Every stain of guilt abhorring, Firm and bold in virtue's cause, Still Thy providence adoring, Faithful subjects to Thy laws; Lord, with favor still attend us, Bless us with Thy wondrous love; Thou, our Sun, our shield, defend us; All our hope is from above.

Thee, One Jehovah evermore, Father, Son, and Spirit! we, Dust and ashes, would adore: Lightly by the world esteemed, From that world by Thee redeemed, Sing we here with glad accord, Holy, Holy, Holy Lord! 3 Holy, holy, holy!
