Jerusalem! my happy home!

Author: F. B. P.; James Montgomery Hymnal: BWHT1899 #602 (1899) Person Name: F. B. P. Lyrics: 1 Jerusalem! my happy home! Name ever dear to me! When shall my labors have an end, In joy and peace and Thee? 2 When shall these eyes thy heaven-built walls And pearly gates behold? Thy bulwarks with salvation strong, And streets of shining gold? 3 Oh, when, thou city of my God, Shall I thy courts ascend, Where congregations ne'er break up And Sabbaths have no end? 4 There happier bowers than Eden's bloom, Nor sin nor sorrow know; Blest seats! through rude and stormy scenes I onward press to you. 5 Why should I shrink at pain and woe? Or feel at death dismay? I've Canaan's goodly land in view, And realms of endless day. 6 Apostles, martyrs, prophets, there Around my Saviour stand; And soon my friends in Christ below Will join the glorious band. 6 Jerusalem! my happy home! My soul still pants for thee; Then shall my labors have an end, When I thy joys shall see. Amen. Topics: Heaven Longings for; Jerusalem; Martyrs Languages: English Tune Title: SOUTHWELL

There's a wideness in God's mercy

Author: Frederick W. Faber Hymnal: BWHT1899 #89b (1899) Person Name: Frederick W. Faber Lyrics: 1 There's a wideness in God's mercy, Like the wideness of the sea; There's a kindness in His justice, Which is more than liberty. There is welcome for the sinner, And more graces for the good; There is mercy with the Saviour; There is healing in His blood. 2 There is no place where earth's sorrows Are more felt than up in heaven; There is no place where earth's failings Have such kindly judgment given. There is plentiful redemption In the blood that has been shed; There is joy for all the members In the sorrows of the Head. 3 For the love of God is broader Than the measure of m man's mind; And the heart of the Eternal Is most wonderfully kind. If our love were but more simple, We should take Him at His word; And our lives would be all sunshine In the sweetness of our Lord. Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: TOURJÉE

[Refrain] 3 Far, far away, like bells at evening pealing, The voice of Jesus sounds o'er land and sea; And laden souls, by thousands meekly stealing, Kind Shepherd, turn their weary steps to Thee.

Fear not, O little flock, the foe

Author: Catherine Winkworth; Gustavus Adolphus; Jacob Fabricius Hymnal: BWHT1899 #352 (1899) Person Name: Jacob Fabricius Lyrics: 1 Fear not, O little flock, the foe Who madly seeks your overthrow; Dread not his rage and power: What though your courage sometimes faints, His seeming triumph o'er God's saints Lasts but a little hour. 2 Be of good cheer; your cause belongs To Him who can avenge your wrongs; Leave it to Him, our Lord. Though hidden yet from mortal eyes, Salvation shall for you arise: He girdeth on His sword! 3 As true as God's own Word is true, Not earth nor hell with all their crew Against us shall prevail. A jest and byword are they grown. God is with us; we are His own; Our victory cannot fail. 4 Amen, Lord Jesus, grant our prayer! Great Captain, now Thine arm make bare; Fight for us once again! So shall Thy saints and martyrs raise A mighty chorus to Thy praise, World without end. Amen. Topics: Battle Hymn Of Gustavus Adolphus; Missions Languages: English Tune Title: BREMEN

As Thou hast died for me, Oh, may my love to Thee Pure, warm, and changeless be, A living fire. 3 While life’s dark maze I tread, And griefs around me spread, Be Thou my Guide; Bid darkness turn to day, Wipe sorrow’s tears away, Nor let me ever stray From Thee aside. 4 When ends life’s transient dream, When death’s cold sullen stream Shall o’er me roll; Blest Saviour, then, in love, Fear and distrust remove; Oh, bear me safe above, A ransomed soul. Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: FAITH
