Farewell, my dear brethren, the time is at hand

Meter: 11.11.11.11 Appears in 146 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Farewell, my dear brethren, the time is at hand, When That we must be parted from this social band: Our several engagements now call us away, Our parting is needful, and we must obey. 2. Farewell, faithful soldiers, you'll soon be discharged, The war will be ended, your bounty enlarged, With shouting and singing, though Jordan may roar, You'll enter fair Canaan, and rest on the shore. 3. Farewell, younger brethren, just listed for war, Sore trials await you, but Jesus is near; Although you must travel the dark wilderness, Your Captain's before you, he'll lead you to peace. 4. Farewell, trembling mourners, with sad broken hearts, O hasten to Jesus, and choose the good part! He's full of compassion, and mighty to save, His arms are extended, your souls to receive. 5. Farewell, careless sinners, for you I must mourn, To think of your danger, if still unconcerned; I read of the judgment, where all must appear, How will you stand trembling with tormenting fear! 6. Farewell, my dear brethren, farewell all around, Perhaps we'll not meet till the last trump shall sound to meet you in glory I give you my hand, Our Savior to praise in a pure social band.

In The Early Morning

Author: John Brownlie; Anonymous Meter: 11.11.11.11 Appears in 4 hymnals First Line: In the early morning, ere the darkness clears Lyrics: 1 In the early morning, ere the darkness clears, Lo, a star most radiant, high in heaven appears; And their eyes behold it, glowing like a gem, As the sages journey forth to Bethlehem. 2 In the early morning, while the shepherds gaze, Lo, through clouds asunder, heaven is all ablaze; Brighter than the sunrise from the eastern hills, And the song of angels all creation fills. 3 In the early morning, when the silence hung, ’Mid the dazzling splendor, were the praises sung: "Glory in the highest to the God of Heaven, Peace on earth abounding unto men be given." 4 Now the sages, guided to the lowly place, Lying in a manger find the Lord of grace; And they fall before Him as before a king, And their costly offerings with devotion bring. 5 Lord of life eternal, who didst come for men; At the time appointed thou wilt come again; Not a babe in meekness, born of humble birth; But the King immortal, judge of all the earth. 6 Glory in the highest, be ascribed to God; Ceaseless hallelujahs fill the earth abroad; Glory to Immanuel, all creation sing, Who to Heaven hath raised us by His offering.

Meditation

Moser Meter: 11.11.11.11 Appears in 7 hymnals First Line: Oft I am so lonely, in this world of care Lyrics: 1 Oft I am so lonely, in this world of care, But I know in Glory, no sad ones dwell there. Yes, I know, in Heaven, Jesus waits for me; When my work is ended, I shall with Him be. 2 When I enter Heaven — city, bright and fair, He’ll be first to welcome me, a child and heir To those heav’nly treasures laid, by Christ, in store, For the weary traveler when this life is o’er. 3 Why, then, should I wander blindly here in sin, When in Heaven yonder is a crown to win. O dear Savior, guide me, keep me by Thy side; May I now and ever in Thy love abide. Used With Tune: LUBBOCK Text Sources: New Victory by Emmet S.
