Happy in Him

Author: John Newton Hymnal: Christ in Song #344 (1908) First Line: How tedious and tasteless the hours Lyrics: 1 How tedious and tasteless the hours When Jesus no longer I see! Sweet prospects, sweet birds, and sweet flow'rs, Have all lost their sweetness to me; The midsummer sun shines but dim, The fields strive in vain to look gay; But when I am happy in him, December's as pleasant as May. 2 His name yields the richest perfume, And sweeter than music his voice; His presence disperses my gloom, And makes all within me rejoice: I should, were he always thus nigh, Have nothing to wish or to fear; No mortal so happy as I, My summer would last all the year. 3 My Lord, if indeed I am thine, If thou art my Sun and my Song, Say, why do I languish and pine? And why are my winters so long? O drive these dark clouds from my sky, Thy soul-cheering presence restore; Or take me to thee up on high, Where winter and clouds are no more.

How Happy the Sorrowful Man

Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Hymnal: The A.M.E. Zion Hymnal #420 (1999) Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Lyrics: 1 How happy the sorrowful man, Whose sorrow is sent from above! Indulged with a visit of pain, Chastised by omnipotent love. The Author of all his distress He comes by affliction to know. And God he in heaven shall bless, That ever he suffered below. 2 Thus, thus may I happily grieve, And hear the intent of His rod. The marks of adoption receive, The strokes of a merciful God. With nearer access to His throne My burden of folly confess, The cause of my miseries own, And cry for an answer of peace. 3 O Father of mercies, on me, On me in affliction bestow, A power of applying to Thee. A sanctified use of my woe: I would, in a spirit of prayer, To all Thy appointments submit, The pledge of my happiness bear, And joyfully die at Thy feet. 4 Then, Father, and never till then, I all the felicity prove Of living a moment in pain, Of dying in Jesus's love. A sufferer here with my Lord, With Jesus above I sit down, Receive an eternal reward, And glory obtain in a crown. Topics: Repentance and Pardon Languages: English Tune Title: CONTRAST

We Speak of the Realms

Author: Elizabeth Mills (1805-1829) Hymnal: Seventh-day Adventist Hymnal #434 (1985) Meter: 8.8.8.8 D First Line: We speak of the realms of the blest Lyrics: 1 We speak of the realms of the blest, That country so bright and so fair, And oft are its glories confessed- But what must it be to be there! We speak of its pathway of gold- Its walls decked with jewels so rare, Its wonders and pleasures untold- But what must it be to be there! 2 We speak of its freedom of sin, From sorrow, temptation and care, From trials without and within— But what must it be to be there! We speak of its service of love, Of the robes which glorified wear, Of the church of the First Born above- But what must it be to be there! 3 Our mourning is all at an end, When, raised by the life-giving word, We see the new city descend, Adorned as a bride for her Lord; The city so holy and clean, No sorrow can breathe in the air; No gloom of affliction or sin, No shadow of evil, is there. 4 Do Thou, midst temptation and woe, For heaven my spirit prepare; And shortly I also so shall know And feel what it is to be there. Then o’er the bright fields we shall roam, In glory celestial and fair, With saints and with angels at home, And Jesus Himself will be there. Topics: Doctrines Eternal Life Tune Title: CONTRAST

How Tedious and Tasteless the Hours

Author: John Newton, 1725-1807 Hymnal: African Methodist Episcopal Church Hymnal #463 (2011) Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Lyrics: 1 How tedious and tasteless the hours When Jesus no longer I see! Sweet prospects, sweet birds, and sweet flowers, Have all lost their sweetness to me; The midsummer sun shines but dim, The fields strive in vain to look gay; But when I am happy in Him, December's as pleasant as May. 2 His name yields the richest perfume, And sweeter than music His voice; His presence disperses my gloom, And makes all within me rejoice; I should, were He always thus nigh, Have nothing to wish or to fear; No mortal so happy as I, My summer would last all the year. 3 Content with beholding His face, My all to His pleasure resigned, No changes of seasons or place Would make any change in my mind: While blest with a sense of His love, A palace a toy would appear; And prisons would palaces prove, If Jesus would dwell with me there. 4 Dear Lord, if indeed I am Thine, If Thou art my sun and my song, Say, why do I languish and pine, And why are my winters so long? O drive these dark clouds from my sky, Thy soul-cheering presence restore; Or take me to Thee upon high, Where winter and clouds are no more. Amen.
