Mother's Grave
Author: Robert H. Washburne Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #8508 Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 D Hymnal Title: The Cyber Hymnal First Line: O the sweetest place in memory Refrain First Line: O the dearest place to memory Lyrics: 1 O the sweetest place in memory
Is that lonely mound of earth,
Where my mother softly slumbers,
Mother dear, who gave me birth;
Years have passed since she departed
From our midst at set of sun
Going to her home in Heaven,
For her earthly race was run.
Refrain:
O the dearest place to memory
Is that hillside far away,
Where she, sleeping ’neath the flowers,
Waits the resurrection day.
2 Oft I wander to the hillside,
Sit beside that grave so dear,
Where I hear the songs of angels
And I feel their presence near;
Scenes of earth fade in the distance,
And a glorious host I see,
There among the white robed seraphs,
Mother dear, awaiting me. [Refrain]
3 So I journey on in sadness
O’er life’s dreary, barren waste,
Cheered by thoughts of blessèd meeting,
As my steps toward Heaven haste;
There some day I too shall enter,
See my loved ones gone before,
There shall greet again that mother,
There abide forevermore. [Refrain]
4 So I think of that old churchyard
On the hillside far away,
And the form of that dear mother
That we carried there one day;
Guarded still by God’s bright angels,
Who their solemn vigils keep,
Watching o’er her silent slumber,
Dearest mother’s gentle sleep. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: ALDERSHOT

Welcome, Blessed Jesus
Author: Lizzie DeArmond Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #11290 Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 D Hymnal Title: The Cyber Hymnal First Line: Sing again the blessed story Refrain First Line: Welcome, welcome, blessed Jesux Lyrics: 1 Sing again the blessèd story,
Till with joy each heart shall glow,
Angels bright, from realms of glory,
Told to sinful man below;
While the world is quiet sleeping,
While the stars their light unfold,
Let us hear the joyful anthem
Angels sang to harps of gold.
Refrain:
Welcome, welcome, blessèd Jesus,
Give Thy peace to us today;
Glory, in the highest glory,
Be unto Thy name alway!
2 Glory, in the highest glory!
We would know the tidings sweet,
Hasten onward, gladly onward,
Like the shepherds Christ to greet;
He has come, the blessèd Jesus,
Born to us this happy day,
In our hearts, most holy Stranger,
We will welcome Thee alway. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: ALDERSHOT
Welcome, Blessed Jesus
I Am Coming Back
Author: J. Wakefield MacGill, 1829-1902 Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #11695 Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 D Hymnal Title: The Cyber Hymnal First Line: There is something strangely tender Refrain First Line: "Ah," He whispered, when He left them Lyrics: 1 There is something strangely tender
In His parting words so sweet,
"Do not let your heart be troubled,
For we by and by shall meet
In the home of many mansions,
Which I go now to prepare.
And when I am ready, dear ones,
I will come and take you there."
Refrain:
"Ah," He whispered, when He left them,
"I am coming back again,"
And will take you to your new home,
Ever near Me to remain.
2 Ah, those words, so strangely tender,
Still keep echoing all round,
And tho’ they have gone to glory,
And have reached the hallowed ground,
The sweet promise has not failed them,
They are with their Lord tonight.
We shall find them ready, waiting,
Just within the gates of light. [Refrain]
3 Don’t you hear the words so tender?
Don’t they echo in your heart?
Don’t they woo you from this poor life,
That with which you soon must part?
Those who wait His coming glorious
Then will form His royal train;
Oh, the rapturous hour of meeting
When the Lord comes back to reign. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: ALDERSHOT
