How sweet the hour of praise and prayer, When our devotions blend, And on the wings of faith divine Our songs of joy ascend! ’Tis then we hear in tones more clear The gracious promise giv’n, That, though we part from friends on earth, We all shall meet in Heav’n. Refrain We all shall meet in Heav’n at last, We all shall meet in Heav’n; Through faith in Jesus’ precious blood, We all shall meet in Heav’n. 2. How sweet the tie of hallowed love That binds our hearts in one; When gathered in the blessèd name Of Christ, the Father’s Son! And though the parting soon may come, Yet in His Word is giv’n The blessèd hope that by and by We all shall meet in Heav’n. [Refrain] 3. Yes, soon our worn and weary feet Will reach the golden strand, Where those we love our coming wait In yonder summerland; A few more days, a few more years, By storm and tempest driv’n, With songs and everlasting joy We all shall meet in Heav’n.

It Singeth Low in Every Heart

Author: John W. Chadwick Appears in 64 hymnals Lyrics: 1. It singeth low in every heart, We hear it each and all; A song of those who answer not, However we may call. They throng the silence of the breast; We see them as of yore; The kind, the true, the brave, the sweet, Who walk with us no more. 2. ’Tis hard to take the burden up, When these have laid it down; They brightened all the joy of life, They softened every frown. But, Oh, ’tis good to think of them When we are troubled sore; Thanks be to God that such have been, Though they are here no more. 3. More home-like seems the vast unknown Since they have entered there; To follow them were not so hard, Wherever they may fare. They cannot be where God is not, On any sea or shore; Whate’er betides, Thy love abides, Our God, forevermore. Used With Tune: AULD LANG SYNE

Thou bright and Morning Star, Thy light Will to our joy be seen; Thou, Lord, wilt meet our longing sight Without a cloud between. Ah, yes! Lord Jesus, Thou, whose heart Still for Thy saints doth care; We shall behold Thee as Thou art, Thy perfect likeness bear. 2. Thy love sustains us on our way, While pilgrims here below; Thou dost, O Savior, day by day, The suited grace bestow. But O the more we learn of Thee, And Thy rich mercy prove, The more we long Thy face to see, And fully know Thy love. Then shine, Thou bright and Morning Star, Dispel the dreary gloom; Oh! take from sin and grief afar, Thy blood-bought people home! Used With Tune: AULD LANG SYNE
