Heaven-Whispers

Appears in 34 hymnals First Line: There's not a bright and beaming smile Lyrics: 1 There's not a bright and beaming smile Which in the world I see, But turns my heart to future joy, And whispers "heaven" to me. Tho' often here my soul is sad, And falls the silent tear. There is a world where all are glad, And sorrow dwells not there. 2 I never grasp a friendly hand In greeting or farewell, But thoughts of an eternal home Within my bosom swell. A prayer to meet in heaven at last, Where all the ransomed come, And where eternal ages still Shall find us all at home. Used With Tune: [There's not a bright and beaming smile]

Ere the Sun Goes Down

Author: Josephine Pollard Appears in 40 hymnals First Line: I have work enough to do Lyrics: 1 I have work enough to do Ere the sun goes down, For myself and kindred too, Ere the sun goes down. Every idle whisper stilling, With a purpose firm and willing All my daily tasks fulfilling, Ere the sun goes down. Chorus: Ere the sun goes down, Ere the sun goes down, I must do my daily duty, Ere the sun goes down. 2 I must speak the loving word Ere the sun goes down; I must let my voice be heard Ere the sun goes down; Every cry of pity heeding, For the injured interceding, To the light the lost ones leading, Ere the sun goes down! [Chorus] 3 As I journey on my way, Ere the sun goes down, God's commands I must obey, Ere the sun goes down. There are sins that need confessing, There are wrongs that need redressing, If I would obtain the blessing Ere the sun goes down. [Chorus] Used With Tune: [I have work enough to do]

My All to Thee

Author: Havergal Appears in 107 hymnals First Line: I bring my sins to thee Lyrics: 1 I bring my sins to thee, The sins I can not count, That all may cleansed be, In thy once opened fount; I bring them, Saviour, all to thee, The burden is too great for me. I bring them, Savior, all to thee, The burden is too great for me. 2 My heart to thee I bring, The heart I can not read; A faithless, wand'ring thing-- An evil heart indeed; I bring it, Savior, now to thee, That fixed and faithful it may be. 3 My life I bring to thee, I would not be my own; O Savior, let me be Thine, ever thine alone. My heart, my life, my all, I bring, To thee, my Savior and my King. Used With Tune: [I bring my sins to thee](51122)

Now, tell I all to thee, All I have been; Purge thou my sin away, Wash thou my soul this day, Take thou my sin away; Lord, make me clean. 3 Faithful and just art thou, Forgiving all, Loving and kind art thou, When sorrows call; Lord, let the cleansing blood, Let the dear healing flood, Blood of the Lamb of God, Pass o'er my soul.

I've found a Friend

Author: Anon. Appears in 391 hymnals First Line: I've found a friend, oh, such a friend! Lyrics: 1 I've found a friend, oh, such a friend! He loved me ere I knew him; He drew me with the cords of love, And thus he bound me to him. And 'round my heart still closely twine Those ties which naught can sever, For I am his and he is mine Forever and forever. 2 I've found a friend, oh, such a friend! He bled, he died to save me; And not alone the gift of life, But his own self he gave me. Naught that I have my own I call, I hold it for the Giver; My heart, my strength, my life, my all, Are his, and his forever. 3 I've found a friend, oh, such a friend! All power to him is given To guard me in my onward course, And bring me safe to Heaven. Th' eternal glories gleam afar To nerve my faint endeavor; So now to watch, to work, to war, And then to rest forever. 4 I've found a friend, oh, such a friend! So kind, so true, and tender, So wise a counselor and Guide, So mighty a defender. From him who loves me now so well What power my soul can sever? Shall life or death, or earth, or hell? No, I am his forever. Used With Tune: [I've found a friend, oh, such a friend!]

Silently the shades of evening

Appears in 165 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Silently the shades of evening Gather round our chapel door; Silently they bring before us Faces we shall see no more. 2 Oh, the lost, the unforgotten!

In our hearts they perish not. 3 Living in the silent hours, Where our spirits only blend, They, unlinked with earthly trouble, We still hoping for its end. Used With Tune: STOWELL

Song Memories

Author: S. J. V. Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: What mem'ries are stirred within me Refrain First Line: And I feel that when resting up yonder Lyrics: Why do we mourn departing friends, Or shake at death's alarms? 'Tis but the voice that Jesus sends, To call them to his arms. 1 What mem'ries are stilled within me, Recalled by that hymn so dear, That mother oft sang in my childhood So tenderly, sweet and dear; Tho' she has long since departed, I still, in my heart, can hear The voice of my mother singing That hymn, to the tune of Mear. Refrain: And I feel that when resting up yonder, Where cometh no grief or pain; I may hear from my dear sainted mother, That grand old tune again. 2 I think of my early childhood, So blest by her tender care, I think how she knelt down beside me And taught me that holy prayer: "Our father, who art in heaven," Then soft as a bird and clear, The hymn, that such comfort gave her, She sang to the tune of Mear. [Refrain] 3 The depth of my soul's affection, Alas, I could never tell, Till called to her beside, when dying, She bade me a long farewell; Then smiling she whispered faintly, In tones that I scarce could hear, "Why mourn for the friends departing? O sing to the tune of Mear." [Refrain] 4 No wonder my eyes are weeping Such bitter and lonely tears, The hymn and the tune we were singing Have opened a grave of years; And when in a grave by mother, They pillow my head to rest, My spirit with hers shall mingle With sorrow no more oppressed. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [What mem'ries are stirred within me]
