• [Yes 25:8] Beyond This Land Of Parting

  Beyond this land of parting, losing and leaving, Far beyond the losses, darkening this, And far beyond the taking and the bereaving Lies the summer land of bliss. Refrain Land beyond, so fair and bright! Land beyond, where is no night! Summer land, God is its Light. O happy summer land of bliss. Beyond this land of toiling, sowing and reaping, Far beyond the shadows, darkening this, And far beyond the sighing, moaning and weeping, Lies the summer land of bliss. Refrain Beyond this land of sinning, fainting and failing, Far beyond the doubtings, darkening this, And far beyond the griefs and dangers befalling, Lies the summer land of bliss. Refrain Beyond this land of waiting, seeking and sighing, Far beyond the sorrows, darkening this, And far beyond the pain and sickness and dying Lies the summer land of bliss. Refrain

• [Yes 25:8] Gentle Shepherd, Thou Hast Stilled

  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. Ah, Lord Jesus, grant that we Where it lives may soon be living, And the lovely pastures see That its heavenly food are giving; Then the gain of death we prove, Though Thou take what most we love. God, we thank Thee; not in vain Lived our friend in Thee believing; Not for him can we be grieving: Ours the loss, but his the gain. Ours the vanity of sorrow, His the vision from the height; His today, and ours tomorrow, Change and awe and love and light. What Thou doest, Lord, is good: Though his body now is sleeping, Lives his spirit in Thy keeping, Pain and sorrow understood. Grant him rest among the living, Bring him to Thy vision clear, All his sin in love forgiving When as Judge Thou dost appear.

  Long hast thou wept and sorrowed, Poor mourner, dry thy tears; Behold, with light and comfort, The Lord Himself appears. “Trust in My mercy ever, My people!” saith the Lord. Hold fast, in deepest sorrow, That soul sustaining Word. Then rest, sad heart, in patience, With this petition still, “Lord, all these vacant places With Thine own fullness fill!”

• [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.

• [Yes 25:8] O Thou Who Driest The Mourner’s Tear

  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.

  Not now, but in the coming years, It may be in the better land, We’ll read the meaning of our tears, And there, some time, we’ll understand. Then trust in God through all the days; Fear not, for He doth hold thy hand; Though dark thy way, still sing and praise, Some time, some time we’ll understand. We’ll catch the broken thread again, And finish what we here began; Heav’n will the mysteries explain, And then, ah then, we’ll understand.

  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.

  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

For that home the spirit yearneth, Where none languisheth nor mourneth. There the body hath no torment, There the mind is free from care, There is every voice rejoicing, Every heart is loving there. Angels in that city dwell; Them their King delighteth well: Still they joy and weary never, More and more desiring ever. There the seers and fathers holy, There the prophets glorified, All their doubts and darkness ended, In the Light of Light abide.

It flooded the crimson twilight, Like the close of an angel’s psalm, And it lay on my fevered spirit, With a touch of infinite calm, It quieted pain and sorrow, Like love overcoming strife, It seemed the harmonious echo From our discordant life, It linked all the perplexed meanings Into one perfect peace, And trembled away into silence, As if it were loth to cease; I have sought but I seek it vainly, That one lost chord divine, Which came from the soul of the organ, And entered into mine. It may be that death’s bright angel Will speak in that chord again; It may be that only in Heav’n I shall hear that great Amen.

  When gathering clouds around I view, And days are dark, and friends are few, On Him I lean, who not in vain Experienced every human pain; He sees my wants, allays my fears, And counts and treasures all my tears. If aught should tempt my soul to stray From heavenly wisdom’s narrow way, To fly the good I would pursue, Or do the sin I would not do, Still He, who felt temptation’s power, Shall guard me in that dangerous hour. If wounded love my bosom swell, Deceived by those I prized too well, He shall His pitying aid bestow, Who felt on earth severer woe, At once betrayed, denied, or fled, By those who shared His daily bread. If vexing thoughts within me rise And, sore dismayed, my spirit dies, Still He, who once vouchsafed to bear The sickening anguish of despair, Shall sweetly soothe, shall gently dry, The throbbing heart, the streaming eye. When, sorrowing, o’er some stone I bend, Which covers what was once a friend, And from his voice, his hand, his smile, Divides me for a little while, Thou, Savior, mark’st the tears I shed, For Thou didst weep o’er Lazarus dead. And O, when I have safely past, Through every conflict but the last; Still, still unchanging, watch beside My painful bed, for Thou hast died; Then point to realms of cloudless day, And wipe the latest tear way.

  Away with our sorrow and fear! We soon shall recover our home, The city of saints shall appear, The day of eternity come: From earth we shall quickly remove, And mount to our native abode, The house of our Father above, The palace of angels and God. Our mourning is all at an end, When, raised by the life-giving Word, We see the new city descend, Adorned as a bride for her Lord; The city so holy and clean, No sorrow can breathe in the air; No gloom of affliction or sin, No shadow of evil is there. By faith we already behold That lovely Jerusalem here; Her walls are of jasper and gold, As crystal her buildings are clear; Immovably founded in grace, She stands as she ever hath stood, And brightly her Builder displays, And flames with the glory of God. No need of the sun in that day, Which never is followed by night, Where Jesus’ beauties display A pure and a permanent light: The Lamb is their light and their sun, And lo! by reflection they shine, With Jesus ineffably one, And bright in effulgence divine! The saints in His presence receive Their great and eternal reward; In Jesus, in Heaven they live, They reign in the smile of their Lord: The flame of angelical love Is kindled at Jesus’ face; And all the enjoyment above Consists in the rapturous gaze.

Refrain There’s a rest beyond, there’s relief from every care, In a little while we’re going home; And no tears shall fall in that city bright and fair, In a little while we’re going home. Refrain

• [Why 21:4] Jerusalem, Jerusalem

  Jerusalem, Jerusalem, Thou city ever blest, Within thy portals first I find My safety, peace and rest. Here dangers always threaten me, My days in strife are spent, And labor, sorrow, worry, grief, I find at best their strength. No wonder, then, that I do long O blessèd home, for thee, Where I shall find a resting place, From sin and sorrow free; Where tears and weeping are no more, Nor death, nor pain, nor night, For former things are passed way, And darkness turned to light. Now all for me has lost its charm Which by the world is praised, Since on the cross, through faith, I saw My Savior Jesus raised; My goal is fixed, one thing I ask, Whate’er the cost may be, Jerusalem, Jerusalem, Soon to arrive in thee.

• [Why 21:4] Never Say Goodbye

  O blessèd home where those who meet Shall never say goodbye; Where kindred souls each other greet, And never say goodbye. Refrain We’ll never say goodbye, We’ll never say goodbye; In that fair land beyond the sky, We’ll never say goodbye. Beyond this vale of toil and care, We’ll never say goodbye; We part in tears on earth, but there— We’ll never say goodbye Refrain When safe among the ransomed throng We’ll never say goodbye; Where life is one eternal song, We’ll never say goodbye. Refrain On yonder fair and peaceful shore, We’ll never say goodbye; But dwell with Christ forevermore, And never say goodbye. Refrain

• [Why 21:4] There Is A Better World

  There is a better world, they say O so bright! O so bright! Where sin and woe are done away, O so bright! O so bright! And music fills the balmy air, And angels with bright wings are there, And harps of gold and mansions fair, O so bright! O so bright! No clouds e’er pass along that sky, Happy land! Happy land! No tear drops glisten in the eye, Happy land! Happy land! They drink the gushing streams of grace, And gaze upon the Savior’s face Whose brightness fills the holy place; Happy land! Happy land! And wicked things and beasts of prey, Come not there! Come not there! And ruthless death and fierce decay, Come not there! Come not there! There all are holy, all are good, But hearts unwashed in Jesus’ blood, And guilty sinners unrenewed, Come not there! Come not there! And though we’re sinners every one, Jesus died! Jesus died! And though our crown of peace is gone, Jesus died! Jesus died! We may be cleansed from every stain, We may be crowned with bliss again, And in that land of glory reign; Jesus died! Jesus died!

• [Why 21:4] There Is No Night In Heaven

  There is no night in Heaven; In that blest world above Work never can bring weariness, For work itself is love. There is no grief in Heaven; For life is one glad day; And tears are of those former things Which all have passed away. There is no sin in Heaven; Behold that blessèd throng: All holy is their spotless robe, All holy is their song! There is no death in Heaven; For they who gain that shore Have won their immortality, And they can die no more. Lord Jesus, be our Guide; O lead us safely on, Till night and grief and sin and death Are past, and Heaven is won!

• [Why 21:4] We Are Going

  We are going, we are going, To a home beyond the skies, Where the fields are robed in beauty, And the sunlight never dies; Where the fount of joy is flowing, In the valley green and fair, We shall dwell in love together; There will be no parting there. Refrain We are going, we are going, To a home beyond the skies, Where the fields are robed in beauty, And the sunlight never dies. We are going, we are going, And the music we have heard Like the echo of the woodland, Or the carol of a bird; With the rosy light of morning On the calm and fragrant air, Still it murmurs, softly murmurs, There will be no parting there. Refrain We are going, we are going, When this mortal life is o’er, To that pure and happy region Where our friends have gone before; They are singing with the angels In that land so bright and fair; We shall dwell with them forever; There will be no parting there. Refrain

• [Why 21:4] What Will It Matter?

  What will it matter, by and by, What will it matter, by and by Whether my crosses were heavy or light, Whether my pathway was cloudy or bright, When I shall walk with the ransomed in white, Safe in that beautiful land? What will it matter, by and by, What will it matter, by and by, Whether my trials were many or few, Whether the world was unfaithful or true, When my Redeemer in glory I view, Home in that beautiful land? What will it matter, by and by, What will it matter, by and by, Whether the waters were bitter or sweet, Murmuring gently, or sad at my feet, When the departed, with rapture, I meet, Home in that beautiful land? What will it matter, by and by, What will it matter, by and by, Whether I press with the morning away, Whether at noontide or closing of day, When in the valley of Eden I stray, Home in that beautiful land?
