We Speak of the Realms of the Blest

Author: Mrs. Elizabeth Mills, 1805-1829 Hymnal: HOoS1901 #346a (1901) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Tune Title: DEVOTION Lyrics: 1 We speak of the realms of the blest, That country so bright and so fair, And oft are its glories confessed; But what must it be to be there! 2 We speak of its pathways of gold, Its walls decked with jewels so rare, Its wonders and pleasures untold; But what must it be to be there! 3 We speak of its freedom from sin, From sorrow, temptation, and care, From trials without and within; But what must it be to be there! 4 We speak of its service of Love, The robes which the glorified wear, The church of the first-born above; But what must it be to be there! 5 Do Thou, Lord, 'mid sorrow and woe, Still for heaven my spirit prepare, And shortly I also shall know And feel what it is to be there. Amen. Topics: Eternity Languages: English

Welcome, Thou Victor in the Strife

Author: Benjamin Schmolck, 1672-1787 Hymnal: HOoS1901 #89b (1901) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Tune Title: DIE HELLE SONN IST NUN DAHIN Lyrics: 1 Welcome, Thou victor in the strife, Welcome from out the cave! Today we triumph in Thy life Around Thy empty grave. 2 Our enemy is put to shame, His short-lived triumph o’er; Our God is with us, we exclaim, We fear our foe no more. 3 The dwellings of the just resound With songs of victory; For in their midst Thou, Lord, art found, And brightest peace with Thee. 4 Oh, let Thy conquering banner wave O’er hearts Thou makest free; And paint the path that from the grave Leads heavenward up to Thee. 5 We bury all our sin and crime Deep in our Saviour’s tomb, And seek the treasure there, that time Nor change can e’er consume. 6 Fearless we lay us in the tomb, And sleep the night away, If Thou art there to break the gloom, And call us back to-day. 7 Death hurts us not; his power is gone, And pointless all his darts: God's favor now on us hath shone, Joy filleth all our hearts. Amen. Topics: Easter Languages: English

Amen. Topics: Epiphany Languages: English

Great Shepherd, take it to Thy fold, Thine own for aye to be: Defend it through this earthly strife, And lead it in the path of life. 3 Spirit, who broodest o'er the wave, Descend upon this child; Give endless life, its spirit lave With waters undefiled: Grant it, while yet a babe, to be A child of God, a home for Thee! 4 O God, what Thou command'st is done; We speak, but Thine the might; This child, which scarce hath seen the sun, Oh, pour on it Thy light. In faith and hope, in joy and love, Thou Sun of all below, above! Topics: Baptism Languages: English
