  Gentle Shepherd, Thou hast stilled Now Thy little lamb’s brief weeping; Ah, how peaceful, pale and mild, In its narrow bed ’tis sleeping, And no sigh of anguish sore Heaves that little bosom more. In this world of care and pain, Lord, Thou wouldst no longer leave it; To the sunny, heavenly plain Thou dost now with joy receive it; Clothed in robes of spotless white, Now it dwells with Thee in light.

• [Yes 25:8] No Tears In Heaven

  Our youth is transient like a flower, That blooms, and fades, and dies; Our life is but a summer cloud, And like a shadow flies; Then let us heed the warning voice— Today its call we hear, It speaks in deep and solemn tones, That come from yonder bier. The angel messenger of death, Has gently borne away, A dear companion from our side, To realms of endless day; Her voice no more will join with ours The song of praise below, It wakes a purer, sweeter strain, Where only pleasures flow. When gathered on the Sabbath morn, Her vacant place we view, We’ll think how bright the world she treads, And in her steps pursue; Be still, let every heart be still, And all our sorrow quell, We’ll bow submissive to His will, Who doeth all things well.

  O Thou who driest the mourner’s tear, How dark this world would be, If, when deceived and wounded here, We could not fly to Thee! The friends who in our sunshine live, When winter comes are flown; And he who has but tears to give, Must weep those tears alone. But Thou wilt heal that broken heart, Which, like the plants that throw Their fragrance from the wounded part, Breathes sweetness out of woe. When joy no longer soothes or cheers, And e’en the hope that threw A moment’s sparkle o’er our tears Is dimmed and vanished too— O who could bear life’s stormy doom, Did not Thy wing of love Come brightly wafting through the gloom Our peace-branch from above? Then sorrow, touched by Thee, grows bright, With more than rapture’s ray; As darkness shows us worlds of light We never saw by day.

• [Yes 25:8] Sweet Voices

  Hear sweet voices from above, Fill thy hands and go with love, To the weary as they wait, so late; In the name of Christ your King, Go and sweetly, sweetly sing, Go and wipe their tears away, and pray. Refrain Happy voices ev’rywhere Are like angels in the air. ’Twas for this that Jesus came, There is music in His Name, In the work He calleth you, be true. Cups of water ye may bear, And bring answer to your prayer; Jesus led the multitude with good. How the blind with opened eyes Looked on Him with glad surprise! Love may fix the eyes long dim on Him. Refrain Only tell the story how Jesus comes to bless you now; What you do for love is best confessed. Go as Jesus went to them; You may find perchance a gem, Long to sparkle in His sight in light.

• [Yes 25:8] There’s No Disappointment In Heaven

  There’s no disappointment in Heaven, No weariness, sorrow or pain; No hearts that are bleeding and broken, No song with a minor refrain. The clouds of our earthly horizon Will never appear in the sky, For all will be sunshine and gladness, With never a sob or a sigh. Refrain I’m bound for that beautiful city, My Lord has prepared for His own; Where all the redeemed of all ages Sing “Glory!” around the white throne; Sometimes I grow homesick for Heaven, And the glories I there shall behold; What a joy that will be when my Savior I see, In that beautiful city of gold. We’ll never pay rent for our mansion, The taxes will never come due, Our garments will never grow threadbare, But always be fadeless and new, We’ll never be hungry or thirsty, Nor languish in poverty there, For all the rich bounties of Heaven His sanctified children will share. Refrain There’ll never be crepe on the doorknob, No funeral train in the sky; No graves on the hillsides of glory, For there we shall nevermore die. The old will be young there forever, Transformed in a moment of time; Immortal we’ll stand in His likeness, The stars and the sun to outshine. Refrain

• [Yes 25:8] Thine Is The Glory

  Thine is the glory, risen, conqu’ring Son; Endless is the victory, Thou o’er death hast won; Angels in bright raiment rolled the stone away, Kept the folded grave clothes where Thy body lay. Refrain Thine is the glory, risen conqu’ring Son, Endless is the vict’ry, Thou o’er death hast won. Lo! Jesus meets us, risen from the tomb; Lovingly He greets us, scatters fear and gloom; Let the church with gladness, hymns of triumph sing; For her Lord now liveth, death hath lost its sting. Refrain No more we doubt Thee, glorious Prince of life; Life is naught without Thee; aid us in our strife; Make us more than conqu’rors, through Thy deathless love: Bring us safe through Jordan to Thy home above.

• [Yes 25:8] We Praise Thee, Lord, For Hours Of Bliss

  We praise Thee, Lord for hours of bliss, For days of quiet rest; But O how seldom do we feel That pain and tears are best! We praise Thee for the shining sun, For kind and gladsome ways: When shall we learn, O Lord, to sing Through weary nights and days! Teach Thou our weak and wandering hearts Aright to read Thy way; That Thou with loving hand dost trace Our path from day to day. Then sorrow’s face shall be unveiled, And we at last shall see Her eyes are eyes of tenderness; Her speech but echoes Thee! Then every thorny crown of care Worn well in patience now, Shall prove a glorious diadem Upon the faithful brow.

• [Yes 25:8] We’ll Never Say Goodbye

  With friends on earth we meet in gladness, While swift the moments fly, Yet ever comes the tho’t of sadness, That we must say, “Goodbye.” Refrain We’ll never say goodbye in Heav’n, We’ll never say goodbye, For in that land of joy and song, We’ll never say goodbye. How joyful is the hope that lingers, When loved ones cross death’s sea, That we, when all earth’s toils are ended, With Thee shall ever be. Refrain No parting words shall e’er be spoken, In yonder home so fair, But songs of joy, and peace, and gladness, We’ll sing forever there. Refrain

• [Yes 25:8] When I Can Read My Title Clear

  When I can read my title clear to mansions in the skies, I bid farewell to every fear, and wipe my weeping eyes. And wipe my weeping eyes, and wipe my weeping eyes I bid farewell to every fear, and wipe my weeping eyes. Should earth against my soul engage, and hellish darts be hurled, Then I can smile at Satan’s rage, and face a frowning world. And face a frowning world, and face a frowning world, Then I can smile at Satan’s rage, and face a frowning world. Let cares, like a wild deluge come, and storms of sorrow fall! May I but safely reach my home, my God, my heav’n, my All. My God, my heaven, my All, my God, my heave’, my All, May I but safely reach my home, my God, my heaven, my All. There shall I bathe my weary soul in seas of heav’nly rest, And not a wave of trouble roll, across my peaceful breast. Across my peaceful breast, across my peaceful breast, And not a wave of trouble roll, across my peaceful breast.

• [Yes 25:8] When They Ring The Golden Bells

  There’s a land beyond the river, That we call the sweet forever, And we only reach that shore by faith’s decree; One by one we’ll gain the portals, There to dwell with the immortals, When they ring the golden bells for you and me. Refrain Don’t you hear the bells now ringing? Don’t you hear the angels singing? ’Tis the glory hallelujah Jubilee. In that far off sweet forever, Just beyond the shining river, When they ring the golden bells for you and me. We shall know no sin or sorrow, In that haven of tomorrow, When our barque shall sail beyond the silver sea; We shall only know the blessing Of our Father’s sweet caressing, When they ring the golden bells for you and me. Refrain When our days shall know their number, And in death we sweetly slumber, When the King commands the spirit to be free; Nevermore with anguish laden, We shall reach that lovely Eden, When they ring the golden bells for you and me. Refrain
