Jesus, Precious Savior
Author: William Luff Meter: 8.8.8.5 Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: When darkening clouds obscure our sky Lyrics: 1. When darkening clouds obscure our sky,
And friends are few, and trouble nigh,
On one alone we may rely,
Jesus! precious Savior!
2. Friends, basking in the summer ray
Of brighter hours, have passed away;
But one is left in sorrow’s day,
Jesus! precious Savior!
3. When hopes, like autumn leaves, are dead,
And every joy of earth is fled,
Sweet pillow—rest for heart and head,
Jesus! precious Savior!
4. Jesus hath died thine heart to win,
His precious blood atones for sin,
His loving arms would take thee in:
Jesus! precious Savior!
5. Oh, let Him fold thee to His breast,
There find a true, a perfect rest,
And thou shalt be forever blest,
By Jesus! precious Savior! Used With Tune: REEVES

Angel Voices Sweetly Singing
Author: Horatius Bonar Meter: 8.8.8.5 Appears in 30 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Angel voices sweetly singing,
Echoes through the blue dome ringing,
News of wondrous gladness bringing;
Ah, ’tis Heaven at last!
2 Now, beneath us all the grieving,
All the wounded spirit’s heaving,
All the woe of hopes deceiving;
Ah, ’tis Heaven at last!
3 Sin for ever left behind us,
Earthly visions cease to blind us,
Fleshly fetters cease to bind us;
Ah, ’tis Heaven at last!
4 On the jasper threshold standing,
Like a pilgrim safely landing,
See, the strange bright scene expanding!
Ah, ’tis Heaven at last!
5 What a city! what a glory!
Far beyond the brightest story
Of the ages old and hoary;
Ah, ’tis Heaven at last!
6 Softest voices, silver pealing,
Freshest fragrance, spirit healing,
Happy hymns around us stealing;
Ah, ’tis Heaven at last!
7 Gone the vanity and folly,
Gone the dark and melancholy,
Come the joyous and the holy;
Ah, ’tis Heaven at last!
8 Not a broken blossom yonder,
Not a link can snap asunder,
Stayed the tempest, sheathed the thunder;
Ah, ’tis Heaven at last!
9 Not a tear drop ever falleth,
Not a pleasure ever palleth,
Song to song for ever calleth;
Ah, ’tis Heaven at last!
10 Christ Himself the living splendor,
Christ the sunlight mild and tender;
Praises to the Lamb we render;
Ah, ’tis Heaven at last!
11 Now at length the veil is rended,
Now the pilgrimage is ended,
And the saints their thrones ascended;
Ah, ’tis Heaven at last!
12 Broken death’s dread bands that bound us,
Life and victory around us;
Christ, the King, Himself hath crowned us,
Ah, ’tis Heaven at last! Used With Tune: [Angel voices sweetly singing] Text Sources: Hymns of Faith and Hope (London: James Nisbet & Company, 1857)

Of all the Spirit's gifts to me
Author: Fred Pratt Green, 1903-2000 Meter: 8.8.8.5 Appears in 15 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Of all the Spirit's gifts to me,
I pray that I may never cease
to take and treasure most these three:
love, joy, and peace.
2 He shows me love is at the root
of every gift sent from above,
of every flower, of every fruit,
that God is love.
3 He shows me that if I possess
a love no evil can destroy,
however great is my distress,
then this is joy.
4 Though what's ahead is mystery,
and life itself is ours on lease,
each day the Spirit says to me:
go forth in peace!
5 We go in peace — but made aware that,
in a needy world like this
our clearest purpose is to share
love, joy, and peace. Topics: General Hymns The Holy Spirit Used With Tune: ES IST KEIN TAG
