The Homeland! O the Homeland!

Meter: 7.6.8.1 Appears in 188 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The Homeland! O the Homeland! The land of souls free born! No gloomy night is known there, But aye the fadeless morn: I’m sighing for that Country, My heart is aching here; There is no pain in the Homeland, To which I'm drawing near. 2 My Lord is in the Homeland, With angels bright and fair; No sinful thing nor evil, Can ever enter there; The music of the ransomed Is ringing in my ears, And when I think of the Homeland, My eyes are wet with tears. 3 For loved ones in the Homeland Are waiting me to come Where neither death nor sorrow Invade their holy home: O dear, dear native Country! O rest and peace above! Christ bring us all to the Homeland Of His eternal love. Topics: Heaven

Meter: 6.4.6.4.6.6.6.4 Appears in 626 hymnals Lyrics: 1 I'm but a stranger here, Heav'n is my home; Earth is a desert drear, Heav'n is my home; Danger and sorrow stand Round me on every hand; Heav'n is my fatherland, Heav'n is my home. 2 What though the tempest rage, Heav'n is my home; Short is my pilgrimage, Heav'n is my home; And time's wild wintry blast Soon shall be over-past; I shall reach home at last, Heav'n is my home. 3 There at my Savior's side, Heav'n is my home; I shall be glorified, Heav'n is my home; There are the good and blest, Those I love most and best; And there I, too, shall rest, Heav'n is my home. 4 Therefore I murmur not, Heav'n is my home; Whate'er my earthly lot, Heav'n is my home, And I shall surely stand There at my Lord's right hand; Heav'n is my fatherland, Heav'n is my home.

A slumber I know, in Jesus' name

Meter: 9.8.6.1 Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1 A slumber I know, in Jesus' name, A rest from all toil and sorrow; Earth tenderly takes my weary frame, to sleep till the blissful morrow; In heaven my soul with God abides, Forgotten are cares and trials. 2 An even I know, serene and blest, And oft is my spirit longing, When, weary and worn, it finds no rest, While woes on the way are thronging,-- Oft longing to see the journey's end, And rest in a blissful slumber. 3 A morning I know, so bright and fair, When tidings of joy shall wake us, When anthems from high shall fill the air, And God to His glory take us, when Jesus shall bid us rise from sleep-- How joyous that hour of awaking! 4 Oh, dear is that morning fair to me! And oft, o'er the mountains beaming, In spirit its heavenly light I see, As golden the peaks are gleaming-- For joy I must sing, as birds at dawn Their carols in lofty lindens. 5 The Savior then comes unto our graves; His mighty command is given; Then break from the deep the ocean waves, Each tomb and restraint is riven. All earth hears the cry: Ye dead, come forth! In glory we go to meet Him. Topics: Heaven

Brief life is here our portion

Meter: 7.6.8.1 Appears in 245 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Brief life is here our portion; Brief sorrow, short-lived care; The Life that knows no ending, The tearless life, is there. O happy retribution! Short toil, eternal rest; For mortals and for sinners A mansion with the blest! 2 2 And now we fight the battle, But then shall wear the crown Of full and everlasting And passionless renown; And now we watch and struggle, And now we live in hope, And Zion in her anguish With Babylon must cope; 3 But He, whom now we trust in, Shall then be seen and known; And they that know and see Him Shall have Him for their own. And there is David's fountain, And life in fullest glow; And there the light is golden, And milk and honey flow. 4 The morning shall awaken, The shadows shall decay, And each true-hearted servant Shall shine as doth the day; Yes! God, my King and Portion, In fullness of his grace, We then shall see for ever, And worship face to face. 5 O sweet and blessed country, The home of God's elect! O sweet and blessed country That eager hearts expect! Jesus, in mercy bring us To that dear land of rest; Who art, with God the Father, And Spirit, ever blest. Topics: Heaven

The ancient Law departs

Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 45 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The ancient Law departs, And all its terrors cease; For Jesus makes with faithful hearts A covenant of peace. 2 The Light of light divine, True brightness undefiled, He bears for us the shame of sin, A holy, spotless Child. 3 His infant body now Begins our pain to feel; Those precious drops of blood that flow For death the victim seal. 4 Today the Name is Thine, At which we bend the knee; They call Thee Jesus, Child divine; Our Jesus deign to be. 5 All praise, eternal Son, For Thy redeeming love, With Father, Spirit, ever one, In glorious might above.
