The Land Of Sunshine

Author: Charles Edmunds Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Far away beyond the shadows Refrain First Line: Fair land of sunshine, bright are thy skies Lyrics: 1 Far away beyond the shadows Of the world, with all its care, There’s a land where glorious sunlight never dies; Where the Father has prepared for us A mansion bright and fair, Where He summons all His loved ones to the skies. Refrain: Fair land of sunshine, bright are thy skies; To thee with longing I lift mine eyes; Dear ones are calling, calling to me, Waiting my coming over the sea. 2 There the Savior sits in glory On His throne of royal might, While the angel hosts, adoring, round Him fall; The triumphant chorus swelling, from the seraphs pure and bright, As they hail the gentle Savior "Lord of all." [Refrain] 3 There are many loved ones yonder Who will bid us welcome home When our journeying and trials here are o’er; And our spirits shall be wafted Safe across the swelling tide To the golden strand of Heaven’s sunlit shore. [Refrain] 4 We shall gladly hear the message When He bids us, "Rise and come," And we lay our every earthly burden down; On an angel’s snowy pinions We shall speed to yon bright home And will wear the spotless robe and heav’nly crown.

All is fulfilled—my heart, record

Author: Johann E. Schmidt, 1670-1745; Arthur T. Russell Meter: 8.8.9.9.10.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 All is fulfilled—my heart, record The dying words of thy dear Lord. When He those bitter pains sustainèd, Which on the cross thy life obtainèd, He who did all things well, Then bowed His head, Exclaiming, "It is finishèd." 2 All is fulfilled—the cross hath wrought Whate’er the Law and prophets taught. Where all the strength of nature failèd, There Jesu’s wounds for all availèd. That which before the worlds Heav’n counselèd, Now through His death is finishèd. 3 All is fulfilled—all satisfied: The Father lays His wrath aside; Our peace is made, and justice stillèd, Since God’s own Son hath all fulfillèd. What then shall wake the heart To anxious dread? Believe now, "It is finishèd." 4 All is fulfilled—I am made free Possessed of true felicity: Now Jesus sin and death subdueth, And us with life and grace reneweth; So when to dissolution Worlds are led, This stays us—"It is finishèd."

To The Harvest Field

Author: Charles Hutchinson Gabriel Appears in 36 hymnals First Line: A band of faithful reapers we Refrain First Line: To the harvest field away Lyrics: 1 A band of faithful reapers we, Who gather for eternity, The golden sheaves of ripened grain From every valley, hill and plain Our song is one the reapers sing, In honor of their Lord and king— The Master of the harvest wide, Who for a world of sinners died. Refrain: To the harvest field away, For the Master calleth; There is work for all today, Ere the darkness falleth. Swiftly do the moments fly, Harvest days are going by, Going, going, going, going by. 2 We are a faithful gleaning band, And labor at our Lord’s command, Unyielding, loyal, tried and true, For lo! the reapers are but few; Behold the waving harvest field, Abundant with a golden yield; And hear the Lord of harvest say To all: Go reap for Me today. [Refrain] 3 The golden hours like moments fly, And harvest days are passing by; Then take thy rusty sickle down, And labor for a fadeless crown; Why will you idly stand and wait? Behold, the hour is growing late! Can you to judgment bring but leaves, While here are waiting golden sheaves?

A Believer, Free From Care

Author: John Newton Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 9 hymnals Lyrics: 1 A believer, free from care, May in chains, or dungeons, sing, If the Lord be with him there; And be happier than a king: Paul and Silas, thus confined, Tho’ their backs were torn by whips, Yet possessing peace of mind, Sang His praise with joyful lips. 2 Suddenly the prison shook, Open flew the iron doors; And the jailer, terror struck, Now his captives’ help implores: Trembling at their feet he fell, "Tell me, sirs, what must I do To be saved from guilt and hell? None can tell me this but you." 3 "Look to Jesus," they replied. "If on Him thou canst believe, By the death which He has died, Thou salvation shalt receive." While the living word he heard, Faith sprang up within his heart; And, released from all he feared, In their joy his soul had part. 4 Sinners, Christ is still the same, O that you could likewise fear! Then the mention of His name Would be music to your ear: Jesus rescues Satan’s slaves, His dear wounds still plead, "Forgive!" Jesus to the utmost saves; Sinners, look to Him and live.

Why should I be as one turning aside alone, Left, when Thy sheep have gone, where I have strayed? 2 Seek me, my Savior! for I have lost the way. I will Thy voice obey; speak to me here! Help me to find the gate where all Thy chosen wait; Ere it shall be too late, oh, call me near! 4 Show me, my Savior! how I can grow like Thee; Make me Thy child to be, taught from above; Help me Thy smile to win; keep me safe folded in, Lest I should rove in sin, far from Thy love.
