My race is nearly run;
My strongest trials now are past,
My triumph is begun.

Come and around me stand;
Oh, bear me away on your snowy wings
To my eternal home;
Oh, bear me away on your snowy wings
To my eternal home.

Of friends and kindred dear—
I hear the waves on Jordan’s banks,
The crossing must be near. [Refrain]

My spirit loudly sings;
Thy holy ones, behold, they come!
I hear the noise of wings. [Refrain]

Who bled and died for me;
Whose blood now cleanses from all sin,
And gives me victory. [Refrain] Used With Tune: ANGEL BAND Text Sources: Timeless Truths (http://library.timelesstruths.org/music/Oh_Come_Angel_Band); Anonymous/Unknown, The Blue Book (124)

A Worldling, wretched, vile and base
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 3 hymnals Scripture: Luke 16:19-31 Lyrics: 1 A Worldling, wretched, vile and base,
Not subject to restraining grace;
But yielded to his lusts and pride,
And set all fear of God aside.
2 Though he had riches laid in store,
Yet no compassion on the poor!
A beggar in a helpless state,
Found no assistance at his gate.
3 The worldling spent his precious days,
In Luxuries, in sports and plays--
While the poor beggar lay distress'd,
With poverty and sores oppress'd.
4 But to them both it proved strange,
To meet with such a sudden change;
The worldling sent to endless pain,
The beggar plac'd with Christ to reign.
5 This is the sinners awful case:
They who neglect the time of grace;
They cry for help, but O too late!
When once they share their lot and fate.
6 The worldlilng pray'd to get relief,
To metigate his pain and grief;
But father Abr'am could not grant
that cooling drop which he did want.
7 If we seek heaven here on earth,
We loose the heav'n of greater worth;
To bear the Cross with Jesus here,
Intitles us to glory there.
8 Dear Saviour, make us truly wise,
All sinful pleasures to despise--
The greatest evil we can do:
That is to choose our heav'n below. Topics: First Sunday after Trinity
A Worldling, wretched, vile and base
Comforted
Author: M. Fraser Appears in 2 hymnals Scripture: Luke 16:25 First Line: After a long and weary strife Lyrics: 1 After a long and weary strife,
After a struggle ‘twixt death and life,
How sweet to feel the tempest cease,
The angry billows sink to peace,
And perfect calm begin.
2 After the night of darkness here,
After the gloom, the doubt, the fear,
How sweet to hail heav’n’s dawning day,
When ev’ry cloud is rolled away,
And ev’ry eye sees clear.
3 After the din and war of earth,
After its wild, discordant mirth,
How sweet to list the rapt’rous song
That rises from the white robed throng,
Upon the crystal sea.
4 After the heart’s deep agony,
After its yearning for sympathy,
How passing sweet will be the rest
Within the arms, upon the breast,
Of Christ the Comforter. Topics: Comfort - Comforter Used With Tune: [After a long and weary strife]
