'Tis by the faith of joys to come

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: BWHT1899 #507 (1899) Person Name: Isaac Watts Lyrics: 1 'Tis by the faith of joys to come We walk through deserts dark as night; Till we arrive at heaven our home, Faith is our guide, and faith our light. 2 The want of sight she well supplies; She makes the pearly gates appear; Far into distant worlds she pries, And brings eternal glories near. 3 Cheerful we tread the desert through, While faith inspires a heavenly ray, Though lions roar, and tempests blow, And rocks and dangers fill the way. 4 So Abra'm, by divine command, Left his own house to walk with God; His faith beheld the promised land, And cheered him on his toilsome road. Amen. Topics: Faith Power of; Faith Walking by; Fear Dispelled; Hope; Faith Living by; Trust In God Languages: English Tune Title: ORIEL

Must I not stem the flood? Is this vile world a friend to grace, To help me on to God? 4 Sure I must fight if I would reign; Increase my courage, Lord! I'll bear the toil, endure the pain, Supported by Thy word. 5 Thy saints, in all this glorious war, Shall conquer, though they die; They see the triumph from afar, By faith they bring it nigh. 6 When that illustrious day shall rise, And all Thine armies shine In robes of vict'ry through the skies, The glory shall be Thine.

Why do we mourn departing friends?

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: BWHT1899 #573 (1899) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Person Name: Isaac Watts Lyrics: 1 Why do we mourn departing friends? Or shake at death's alarms? 'Tis but the voice that Jesus sends To call them to His arms. 2 Are we not tending upward too, As fast as time can move? Nor would we wish the hours more slow, To keep us from our love. 3 Why should we tremble to convey Their bodies to the tomb? There the dear flesh of Jesus lay, His light dispelled its gloom. 4 The graves of all His saints He blessed, And softened every bed: Where should the dying members rest, But with their dying Head? 5 Thence He arose, ascending high, And showed our feet the way; Up to the Lord our souls shall fly At the great rising-day. 6 Then let the last loud trumpet sound, And bid our kindred rise: Awake, ye nations under ground; Ye saints, ascend the skies.

There is a land of pure delight

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: BWHT1899 #586 (1899) Person Name: Isaac Watts Lyrics: 1 There is a land of pure delight, Where saints immortal reign; Infinite day excludes the night, And pleasures banish pain. There everlasting spring abides, And never-with'ring flowers; Death, like a narrow sea, divides This heavenly land from ours. 2 Sweet fields, beyond the swelling flood, Stand dressed in living green; So to the Jews old Canaan stood, While Jordan rolled between. But timorous mortals start and shrink To cross this narrow sea; And linger, shivering, on the brink, And fear to launch away. 3 Oh, could we make our doubts remove, Those gloomy doubts that rise, And see the Canaan that we love With unbeclouded eyes! 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. Amen.

Day-Spring from on high, be near! Day-Star, in my heart appear! 2 Dark and cheerless is the morn Unaccompanied by Thee; Joyless is the day's return, Till Thy mercy's beams I see; Till they inward light impart, Glad my eyes and warm my heart. 3 Visit, then, this soul of mine, Pierce the gloom of sin and grief! Fill me, Radiancy Divine, Scatter all my unbelief! More and more Thyself display, Shining to the perfect day. Amen.
