The Lord Be Praised! I'm Homeward Bound

Author: J. Lassen Hymnal: Hymnal for Church and Home #254 (1927) Meter: 8.8.7.8.8.7 Topics: Comfort and Hope Lyrics: 1 The Lord be praised! I'm homeward bound, To where my Father's house is found, Beyond death's gloomy portal, Where God's own Son, my Savior blest, Receives me as His welcomed guest Among the saints immortal. 2 The Lord be praised! I'm homeward bound, Where sin and death, the grave's sad mound, Forever are forgotten; Where living fountains ever flow, And trees their fruit each month shall grow For those of God begotten. 3 The Lord be praised! I'm homeward bound, Where I shall join the host renowned, Before His throne assembling, And there with all in love shall dwell In glory, which no tongue can tell, Relieved of fear and trembling. 4 The Lord be praised! I'm homeward bound, Where all the saints with beauty crowned Sing to His praise and glory; Where I my problems understand, As they were solved by God's own hand, And tell the blessed story. 5 So, then, with hope we onward press Thro' sorrow, trouble, and distress, In confidence and wonder, Until by angels borne on high, With sweet relief and happy sigh, Our eyes we open yonder.

O Land Of Our King

Author: N. F. S. Grundtvig Hymnal: Hymnal for Church and Home #246 (1927) Meter: 5.11.11.11.11.5 Topics: Comfort and Hope First Line: O land of our King! Lyrics: 1 O land of our King! Where harvest embraces the flowery spring, Where all things worth having forever remain, Where nothing we miss but our sorrow and pain, All mankind is longing to find and explore Thy beautiful shore. 2 How blessed the land! Where time is not measured by tears or with sand, Where fades not the flower, the bird never dies, Where joys are not bubbles that break as they rise, Where life does not crown us with white for the gloom Of death and the tomb. 3 How blessed to be Where death has no sting, where from sin we are free, Where all that decayed in new glory shall bloom, Where all that was ruined shall rise from the tomb, Where love grows in light as a summer day fair With flower-crowned hair. 4 My spirit receives Thro' Christ what the world neither knows nor believes, This while we are here, we but dimly can know, Tho' feeling within us its heavenly glow. The Lord saith: On earth as in heaven above My kingdom is love. Languages: English Tune Title: [O land of our King]

Lyrics: 1 Lift up thy head, O Christendom! Behold in heav'n thy blessed home For which thy heart is yearning. There is thy Joy and soul’s Delight Who soon with pow'r and glory bright Will be for thee returning. 2 And when in ev'ry land and clime Thou shalt behold His signs sublime, The sinful world appalling, Then shalt with joy thou lift thine eyes And see Him coming in the skies, While suns and stars are falling. 3 Tho' for His day thy heart must yearn, Do not forget why His return Thy Savior is delaying, And ask Him ne'er before His hour To shake the heavens with His power And judge the lost and straying. 4 O Christendom, for Sodom pray Till sighs and prayers no more can stay The judgment day impending. Then cries the Lord: “Behold I come,” And thou shalt answer: “To Thy home I am with joy ascending.” 5 Then far and wide the trumpet calls, The dead awake, death’s kingdom falls, And God’s elect assemble. The Lord ascends His royal throne And greets His faithful as His own, While hearts in gladness tremble. Languages: English Tune Title: [Lift up thy head, O Chrsitendom]

Wake, Awake, For Night Is Flying

Author: Philip Nicolai Hymnal: Hymnal for Church and Home #244 (1927) Meter: 8.9.8.9.8.9.8.6.6.4.4.4.8 Topics: Comfort and Hope Lyrics: 1 Wake, awake, for night is flying: The watchmen on the heights are crying, Awake, Jerusalem arise! Midnight's solemn hour is tolling, His chariot wheels are nearer rolling; He comes, prepare, ye virgins wise. Rise up; with willing feet Go forth, the Bridegroom meet; Hallelujah! Bear thro' the night your well trimm'd light, Speed forth to join the marriage rite. 2 Zion hears the watchmen singing, Her heart with deep delight is springing, At once she wakes, she hastes away: Forth her Bridegroom hastens glorious, In grace arrayed, by truth victorious; Her grief is joy, her night is day: All hail, incarnate Lord, Our crown, and our reward! Hallelujah! We haste along, in pomp of song, And gladsome join the marriage throng. 3 Hear Thy praise, O Lord, ascending From tongues of men and angels, blending With harp and lute and psaltery. By Thy pearly gates in wonder We stand, and swell the voice of thunder, In bursts of choral melody: No vision ever brought, No ear hath ever caught, Such bliss and joy: We raise the song, we swell the throng, To praise Thee ages all along.
