• [Mzm 16:11] All Will Be Well

  Only Thy presence, O Savior divine, Only Thy Spirit to witness with mine; Only Thine image of love on my breast, Seal of forgiveness, assurance of rest. Refrain What tho’ the billows like mountains may swell; All will be well; yes, all will be well; Under Thy shadow in peace I shall dwell; All, all will be well. Only Thy presence to lead me aright, Out of the darkness and into the light; Only a whisper to tell Thou art near, Only Thy sunshine to banish my fear. Refrain Only Thy presence when trials I bear, Lifting so gently my burden of care; Only Thy presence to show me the way, Home to the mansions of infinite day. Refrain Only Thy presence when wild is the gale, Only Thy presence when rent is my sail; Only Thy presence my vessel to guide Into the harbor and over the tide. Refrain

  My God, I am Thine, what a comfort divine, What a blessing to know that my Jesus is mine! In the heavenly Lamb thrice happy I am, And my heart it doth dance at the sound of His Name. True pleasures abound in the rapturous sound; And whoever hath found it hath paradise found: My Jesus to know, and feel His blood flow, ’Tis life everlasting, ’tis Heaven below. Yet onward I haste to the heavenly feast: That, that is the fulness; but this is the taste! And this I shall prove, till with joy I remove To the heaven of heavens in Jesus’ love.

  Only God can bring us gladness, Only God can give us peace; Joys are vain that end in sadness, Joy divine shall never cease. Mid the shade of want and sorrow Undisturbed, our hearts rejoice; Patient, wait the brighter morrow; Faithful, heed the Father’s voice. As the stars in order going, All-harmonious, He doth move; Heavenly calm and comfort showing, Comes the healing word of love. Who the word of wisdom heareth Feels the Father Love within, Where as dawn the shadow cleareth, Love outshines the night of sin. So we find the true atonement, Know in God the perfect Friend; For in love is our atonement, Where all hearts in Him may blend. Here from prisoning pain and sorrow Have we all a sure release, Only God can bring us gladness, Only God can give us peace.

  Breaking through the clouds that gather, O’er the Christian’s natal skies, Distant beams, like floods of glory, Fill the soul with glad surprise; And we almost hear the echo Of the pure and holy throng, In the bright, the bright forever, In the summer land of song. Refrain On the banks beyond the river We shall meet, no more to sever; In the bright, the bright forever, In the summer land of song. Yet a little while we linger, Ere we reach our journey’s end; Yet a little while of labor, Ere the evening shades descend; Then we’ll lay us down to slumber, But the night will soon be o’er; In the bright, the bright forever, We shall wake, to weep no more. Refrain O the bliss of life eternal! O the long unbroken rest! In the golden fields of pleasure, In the region of the blest; But, to see our dear Redeemer, And before His throne to fall, There to bear His gracious welcome, Will be sweeter far than all. Refrain

• [Mzm 16:11] How Tedious And Tasteless

  How tedious and tasteless the hours When Jesus I no longer see; Sweet prospects, sweet birds and sweet flowers, Have all lost their sweetness to me; The midsummer sun shines but dim, The fields strive in vain to look gay. But when I am happy in Him, December’s as pleasant as May. His Name yields the richest perfume, And sweeter than music His voice; His presence disperses my gloom, And makes all within me rejoice. I should, were He always thus nigh, Have nothing to wish or to fear; No mortal as happy as I, My summer would last all the year. Content with beholding His face, My all to His pleasure resigned, No changes of season or place Would make any change in my mind: While blessed with a sense of His love, A palace a toy would appear; All prisons would palaces prove, If Jesus would dwell with me there. Dear Lord, if indeed I am Thine, If Thou art my sun and my song, Say, why do I languish and pine? And why are my winters so long? O drive these dark clouds from the sky, Thy soul cheering presence restore; Or take me to Thee up on high, Where winter and clouds are no more.

  Lord, we thank Thee for the pleasure That our happy lifetime gives, For the boundless worth and treasure Of a soul that ever lives; Mind that looks before and after, Lifting eyes to things above; Human tears, and human laughter, And the depths of human love. For the thrill, the leap, the gladness Of our pulses flowing free; E’en for every touch of sadness That may bring us nearer Thee; But, above all other kindness, Thine unutterable love, Which, to heal our sin and blindness, Sent Thy dear Son from above. Teach us so our days to number That we may be early wise; Dreamy mist, or cloud, or slumber, Never dull our heav’nward eyes. Hearty be our work and willing, As to Thee, and not to men; For we know our soul’s fulfilling Is in Heav’n, and not ’til then.

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. There the saints, whose memories old We in faithful hymns uphold, Have forgot their bitter story In the joy of Jesus’ glory.

O let me think how Thou didst leave Untasted every pure delight, To fast, to faint, to watch, to grieve, The toilsome day, the homeless night. To faint, to grieve, to die for me! Thou camest, not Thyself to please; And, dear as earthly comforts be, Shall I not love Thee more than these?

  Behold a host, arrayed in white, Like thousand snow clad mountains bright, With palms they stand. Who is this band Before the throne of light? Lo, these are they of glorious fame Who from the great affliction came And in the flood of Jesus’ blood Are cleansed from guilt and blame. Now gathered in the holy place Their voices they in worship raise, Their anthems swell where God doth dwell, Mid angels’ song of praise. Despised and scorned, they sojourned here; But now, how glorious they appear! Those martyrs stand a priestly band, God’s throne forever near. So oft, in troubled days gone by, In anguish they would weep and sigh. At home above the God of Love For aye their tears shall dry. They now enjoy their Sabbath rest, The paschal banquet of the blest; The Lamb, their Lord, at festal board Himself is Host and Guest. Then hail, ye mighty legions, yea, All hail! Now safe and blest for aye, And praise the Lord, who with His Word Sustained you on the way. Ye did the joys of earth disdain, Ye toiled and sowed in tears and pain.

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.

  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.

• [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?

• [Why 21:5] Behold, These Words Are Trustworthy And True

  Behold, these words are trustworthy and true, For God the Lord is making all things new. He showed His servants what must take place, The plagues and blessings set for Adam’s race. Now keep these words, for he who overcomes Will gain new life and he will be God’s son. “Behold,” says Jesus, “Quick I come again; Most blest is he who keeps My words made plain. The time is near; reward is in sight. So holy stay and always seek the right. The First, the Last, Beginning and the End, The Alpha and Omega e’er I am.” How blest are those who wash their robes from sin, That they may to the city enter in And to the tree of life have full right. They’ll see God’s face, and He will give them light. The curse is gone! They’ll reign forevermore With Jesus, David’s Root, bright Morning Star. The Spirit and the bride of Christ say, “Come!” And let each one who hears these words say, “Come!” Yea, whosoever thirsts, let him come. The drink of life is free; let all men come! Hear Jesus’ words: “Quickly I come again.” O come, Lord Jesus, come to us. Amen.

  Glory to God! The morn appointed breaks, And earth awakes from all the woeful past; For, with the morn, the Lord of life awakes, And sin and death into the grave are cast. Glory to God! The cross, with all its shame, Now sheds its glory o’er a ransomed world; For He Who bore the burden of our blame, With piercèd hands the foe to hell hath hurled. Glory to God! Sing, ransomed souls again, And let your songs our glorious Victor laud, Who by His might hath snapped the tyrant’s chain, And set us free to rise with Him to God. Darkness and night, farewell! The morn is here; Welcome! the light that ushers in the day; Visions of joy before our sight appear, And, like the clouds, our sorrows melt away. Great Son of God, immortal and renowned! Brighter than morn the glory on Thy brow; Crowns must be won, and Thou are nobly crowned, For death is dead, and sin is vanquished now.

Refrain Tho’ all that is earthly will fade, And vanish away from our view, We know that as sure as the Savior lives, The words He has spoken are true.

Refrain To those that are thirsting and longing for Him, The water of life He will give; And they that with patience endure to the end, Forever in glory shall live. Refrain Then why are we fearful, and where is our faith? His own He will never forsake; And tho’ He may lead them where waters are deep, His promise He never will break. Refrain

  We have heard of a land on whose blue, ether skies Not a cloud for a moment can stay; And it needs not the sun in his splendor to rise For the Lord is the light of its day; We have heard of that land, and its glory we seek, Where the faithful with Jesus shall dwell, Where the roses of youth never fade from the cheek, And the lips never murmur, “Farewell.” We have talked of that land, when our journey was long, And our hearts overburdened with care; We have talked of the blest at the river of song, And how oft we have sighed to be there; And our faith has gone up, like a bird on the wing, To that land on eternity’s shore, Where the joy bells of Eden forever shall ring, And the soul shall be weary no more. We are nearing that land, we are nearing the gate, To the city of jasper and gold, Where the Savior to welcome His children doth wait, And will gather them into the fold; To the fold of His love, in the mansions above, Where forever with Him they shall dwell, And the eyes that were sad in His smile shall be glad, And the lips never murmur, “Farewell.”
