How Far from Home?
Author: Annie Rebekah Smith Meter: 8.8.8.6 D Appears in 10 hymnals First Line: How far from home I asked, as on Lyrics: 1 How far from home? I asked, as on
I bent my steps—the watchman spake:
“The long, dark night is almost gone,
The morning soon will break.
Then weep no more, but speed thy flight,
With Hope’s bright star thy guiding ray,
Till thou shalt reach the realms of light,
In everlasting day.”
2 I asked the warrior on the field;
This was his soul-inspiring song:
“With courage bold, the sword I’ll wield,
The battle is not long.
Then weep no more, but well endure
The conflict, till thy work is done;
For this we know, the prize is sure,
When victory is won.”
3 I asked again; earth, sea, and sun
Seemed, with one voice, to make reply:
“Time’s wasting sands are nearly run,
Eternity is nigh.
Then weep no more—with warning tones,
Portentous sights are thick’ning round,
The whole creation, waiting, groans,
To hear the trumpet sound.”
4 Not far from home! O blessed thought!
The trav’ler’s lonely heart to cheer;
Which oft a healing balm has brought,
And dried the mourner’s tear.
Then weep no more, since we shall meet
Where weary footsteps never roam—
Our trials past, our joys complete,
Safe in our Father’s home.
How Far from Home?

The Everlasting Arms
Author: William T. C. Hanna Meter: 8.8.8.6 D Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: Serenely dwell the heirs of grace Lyrics: 1 Serenely dwell the heirs of grace
In every age and clime and place,
Supported by the firm embrace
Of everlasting arms.
Though they are pilgrims far from home,
Who seek a city yet to come,
They camp each night, where’er they roam,
In everlasting arms.
2 When threatening foes make loud pretense
Of numbers vast and strength immense,
They ever find a sure defense
In everlasting arms.
They dread no judgment day of ire,
Undying worm, and quenchless fire;
But find the shelter they require
In everlasting arms.
3 And when they reach the Jordan’s brink,
Back from its wave they need not shrink;
They perish not, but only sink
In everlasting arms.
In Heav’n they walk at liberty,
From Satan, sin, and death set free;
Abiding through eternity
In everlasting arms. Used With Tune: BERKELEY

In the Bleakness of the Winter
Author: Joy F. Patterson Meter: 8.8.8.6 D Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: In the bleakness of the winter,
lost in gloomy shades of night,
all humanity stands watching,
longing for God's promised Light --
Light of God, shine through our darkness,
come, Lord Jesus, quickly come!
Son of God, come live among us,
come, Lord Jesus, quickly come.
Once he came, and still he's coming
to complete his kingdom's reigh,
to relieve all pain and sorrow,
to restore earth's peace again --
Doing justice, showing mercy,
praying, praising, we will wait,
wide awake to greet his coming,
ready for the Daystar's light --
In the Bleakness of the Winter
