Here o'er the earth as a stranger I roam

Hymnal: NSSH1870 #44a (1870) Lyrics: 1 Here o'er the earth as a stranger I roam, Here is no rest, here is no rest! Here as a pilgrim I wander alone, Yet I am blest, yet I am blest! For I look forward to that glorious day When sin and sorrow shall vanish away. My heart doth leap while I hear Jesus say, There, there is rest, there, there is rest! 2 Here are afflictions and trials severe, Here is no rest, here is no rest! Here I must part with the friends I hold dear, Yet I am blest, yet I am blest! Sweet is the promise I read in his word; Blessed are those who have died in the Lord, They have been called to receive their reward. There, there is rest, there, there is rest! 3 This world of care is a wilderness state, Here is no rest, here is no rest! Here must I bear from the world all its hate. Yet I am blest, yet I am blest! Soon shall I be from the wicked released, Soon shall the weary for ever be blest, Soon shall I lean upon Jesus' own breast, There, there is rest, there, there is rest! Tune Title: NO REST HERE

My faith looks up to thee

Now hear me while I pray, Take all my guilt away, Oh, let me from this day Be wholly thine. 2 May thy rich grace impart Strength to my fainting heart; My zeal inspire: As thou hast died for me, Oh, may my love to thee Pure, warm, and changeless be, A living fire. 3 While life’s dark maze I tread, And griefs around me spread, Be thou my Guide: Bid darkness turn to day, Wipe sorrow’s tears away, Nor let me ever stray From thee aside. 4 When ends life's transient dream, When death’s cold, sullen stream Shall o'er me roll, Blest Saviour, then, in love, Fear and distrust remove; Oh, bear me safe above, A ransom'd soul.

Little travelers Zionward

Hymnal: NSSH1870 #48 (1870) Lyrics: 1 Little travelers Zionward, Each one entering into rest, In the kingdom of your Lord, In the mansions of the blest. There to welcome Jesus waits, Gives the crowns his followers win: Lift your heads, ye golden gates, Let the little travelers in. 2 Who are those whose little feet, Pacing life's dark journey through, Now have reach'd that heavenly seat They had ever kept in view? "I, from Greenland's frozen land;" "I, from India's sultry plain;" "I, from Afric's barren land;" "I, from islands of the main." 3 "All our earthly journey past, Every tear and pain gone by, Here together meet at last At the portal of the sky!" Each the welcome "Come" awaits, Conquerors over death and sin: Lift your heads, ye golden gates, Let the little travelers in. Tune Title: LITTLE TRAVELERS

Let us love one another, not long may we stay

Hymnal: NSSH1870 #49 (1870) Lyrics: 1 Let us love one another, not long may we stay In this brief world of mourning, so brief is life’s day; Some fade ere ’tis noon, and few linger till eve; Oh, there breaks not a heart but leaves some one to grieve. 2 And the fondest, the purest, the truest that met, Ever still found the need to forgive and forget; Then, oh, tho’ the hopes that we nourish'd decay, Let us love one another as long as we may. 3 Thus we’ll love one another 'midst sorrow the worst, Unalter'd and fond as we loved at the first; Tho’ the false wing of pleasure may change and forsake, And the bright urn of wealth into particles break. 4 There are some sweet affections that earth cannot buy, That cling but the closer when sorrow draws nigh, And remain with us yet, though all else pass away; Yes, we’ll love one another as long as we stay. Tune Title: LOVE ONE ANOTHER

To meet to part no more, On Canaan's happy shore, And sing the everlasting song With those who've gone before. 2 Yes, happy thought! when we are free From earthly grief and pain, In heaven we shall each other see, And never part again. [Chorus] 3 The children who have loved the Lord Shall hail their teachers there; And teachers gain the rich reward Of all their toil and care.

Lo! on a narrow neck of land

Hymnal: NSSH1870 #53 (1870) Lyrics: 1 Lo! on a narrow neck of land, 'Twixt two unbounded seas I stand, Yet how insensible! A point of time, a moment's space, Removes me to that heavenly place, Or shuts me up in hell. 2 O God, my inmost soul convert, And deeply on my thoughtful heart Eternal things impress! Give me to feel their solemn weight, And save me, ere it be too late, By that almighty grace. 3 Before me place, in bright array, The pomp of that tremendous day When thou in clouds shalt come To judge the nations at thy bar: Oh, tell me, Lord, shall I be there To meet a joyful doom? 4 Be this my one great business here, With holy trembling, holy fear, To make my calling sure! Assist, O Lord, a feeble worm, Then shall I all thy will perform, And to the end endure. Tune Title: ADVENT
