There Is a Land Immortal

Author: Thomas MacKellar Hymnal: HSS1889 #6 (1889) Lyrics: 1 There is a land immortal, The beautiful of lands; Beside its ancient portal A silent sentry stands. He only can undo it, And open wide the door; And mortals who pass through it Are mortal nevermore. 2 That glorious land is Heaven, And Death the sentry grim; The Lord thereof has given The opening keys to him; And ransom’d spirits, sighing And sorrowful for sin, Pass through the gate in dying, And freely enter in. 3 Though dark and drear the passage That leadeth to the gate, Yet grace attends the message, To souls that watch and wait; And at the time appointed A messenger comes down, And guides the Lord's anointed From cross to glory's crown. 4 Their sighs are lost in singing; They're blessed in their tears; Their journey heavenward winging, They leave on earth their fears. Death like an angel seeming, "We welcome thee!" they cry; Their face with glory gleaming, 'Tis life for them to die. Tune Title: [There is a land immortal]

Give Thanks

Author: Dr. Muhlenberg Hymnal: HSS1889 #7 (1889) First Line: Give thanks all ye people, give thanks to the Lord Lyrics: 1 Give thanks all ye people, give thanks to the Lord, Alleluias of freedom with joyful accord; Let the East and the West, North and South roll along, Sea and mountain and prairie, one thanksgiving song. Refrain: Give thanks all ye people, give thanks to the Lord, Give thanks all ye people, give thanks to the Lord; Alleluias of freedom with joyful accord; 2 For sunshine and rainfall, enriching again Our broad acres in myriads with treasures of grain; For the earth still unloading her manifold wealth, For the skies beaming vigor, the winds breathing health. [Refrain] 3 In domes of Messiah, Ye worshiping throngs, Solemn litanies mingle with jubilant songs; With the Ruler of nations beseeching to spare, And our Union to keep, the elect of his care.

Anniversary Choral

Author: Miss F. E. Pettingell Hymnal: HSS1889 #10 (1889) First Line: Through the changing seasons Refrain First Line: God hath kindly led us Lyrics: 1 Through the changing seasons Of the changing year, With its light and shadow, With its hope and fear; Through each glad fulfillment, And each sad defeat, We have safely journeyed, And again we meet. Refrain: God hath kindly led us Through this changing year, By His guiding providence We assemble here. 2 Records past and present We may now survey, At this pleasant milestone In life’s onward way: Knowledge claims new power, Truth her might extends, And the Master knoweth New and loyal friends. [Refrain] 3 From this festal service To our work anew, With a quickened purpose Hearts both strong and true: Father, lead Thy forces, One united band— Ever on to conquest ’Neath their king’s command. [Refrain] Tune Title: [Through the changing seasons]

At the Door of Mercy Sighing

Author: Thomas MacKellar Hymnal: HSS1889 #11 (1889) Lyrics: 1 At the door of mercy sighing With the burden of my sin, Day and night my soul is crying, “Open, Lord, and let me in.” Waiting ‘mid the darkness dreary, Stretching out my hands to Thee, In the refuge for the weary Is there not a place for me? 2 I have sought to earn Thy favour, Caring not for toil or cost, Yet I find not Him my Saviour, He who came to seek the lost. “Blessed Master! in Thy pity Teach me what I ought to do, So that in the holy city I may gain an entrance too.” 3 Hark! what sounds mine ear receiveth, Sweet as songs of seraphim! “He that in the Lord believeth Life eternal hath in him.” At the outer door why staying? Nothing, soul! hast thou to pay: Christ in love to thee is saying, Weary child, come in today. 4 I knew not of Jesus’ kindness! I knew not of Jesus’ grace! O the blackness of the blindness That could not behold His face! I saw not the door was open, Nor my Lord invite me in: Grace is mine beyond my hoping, Mercy mightier than my sin. Tune Title: [At the door of mercy sighing]

Onward, Ever Onward

Refrain: Onward, ever onward, Pressing on the road, Won by saints before us, Pressing on to God. 2 Higher then and higher Bear the ransomed soul, Earthly toils forgotten, Saviour, to its goal; When in joys unthought of Saints with angels sing, Never weary raising, Praises to their King. [Refrain] Tune Title: [Onward, ever onward, Journeying o'er the road]
