All Tears

Author: Flora B. Harris Hymnal: JW1878 #48 (1879) Tune Title: [Above earth's grief and sighing] First Line: Above earth's grief and sighing Refrain First Line: All tears, all tears Lyrics: 1 Above earth's grief and sighing, Its want and pain and dying, Look up, and see the glory Prepared for you and me. Chorus: All tears, all tears, God shall wipe away In the full and perfect day; Once forever, Once forever, God shall wipe all tears away. 2 The Lamb himself shall feed us The Lamb himself shall lead us To drink from living fountains, That flow for you and me. [Chorus] 3 No burning sun shall smite us; His glorious face shall light us, The beauty of his presence, It shines for you and me.

My Goal is Christ

Hymnal: JW1878 #20 (1879) Tune Title: [Ah, tell me not of gold or treasure] First Line: Ah, tell me not of gold or treasure Lyrics: 1 Ah, tell me not of gold or treasure, Of pomp and beauty here on earth! There's not a thing that gives me pleasure Of all the world displays for worth. Each heart will seek and love its own; My goal is Christ, and Christ alone, My goal is Christ, and Christ alone. 2 The world and her pursuits will perish, Her beauty's fading like a flower; The brightest schemes the earth can cherish Are but the pastime of an hour. Each heart will seek and love its own; My goal is Christ, and Christ alone, My goal is Christ, and Christ alone. 3 Against this tower there's no prevailing; His kingdom passes not away; His throne abides, despite assailing, From henceforth unto endless day. Each heart will seek and love its own; My goal is Christ, and Christ alone, My goal is Christ, and Christ alone. 4 And though a pilgrim I must wander, Still absent from the One I love; He soon will have me with him yonder In his own glory realms above. Triumphantly I therefore own; My goal is Christ, and Christ alone, My goal is Christ, and Christ alone. Languages: English

Amazing pity! grace unknown! And love beyond degree! [Chorus] 3 Well might the sun in darkness hide, And shut his glories in, When Christ, the mighty Maker, died, For man, the creature's sin. [Chorus] 4 Thus might I hide my blushing face While his dear cross appears; Dissolve my heart in thankfulness, And melt mine eyes to tears. [Chorus] 5 But drops of grief can ne'er repay The debt of love I owe: Here, Lord, I give myself away,-- 'Tis all that I can do. [Chorus] Languages: English

To him all majesty ascribe, And crown him Lord of all. 3 Oh, that with yonder sacred throng We at his feet may fall! We'll join the everlasting song, And crown him Lord of all.

And can it Be?

Author: Rev. Chas. Wesley Hymnal: JW1878 #122 (1879) Tune Title: [And can it be that I should gain] First Line: And can it be that I should gain Lyrics: 1 And can it be that I should gain An int'rest in the Savior's blood?

Who can explore his strange design? In vain the first-born seraph tries To sound the depths of love divine; 'Tis mercy all! let earth adore: Let angel minds inquire no more. 3 He left his Father's throne above; (So free, so infinite his grace!) Emptied himself of all but love, And bled for Adam's helpless race; 'Tis mercy all, immense and free, For oh, my God, it found out me! 4 No condemnation now I dread; Jesus, with all in him, is mine; Alive in him, my living head, And clothed in righteousness divine, Bold I approach th' eternal throne And claim the crown thro' Christ my own.

Give joy or grief, give ease or pain, Take life or friends away, But let me find them all again In that eternal day. Languages: English
