Angels will Welcome us Home

Author: Ida Whipple Hymnal: FM1891 #46 (1891) Tune Title: [How sad is the wilderness way] First Line: How sad is the wilderness way! Lyrics: 1 How sad is the wilderness way! How many the dangers we meet! Our hopes and our pleasure decay, And lie in the dust at our feet; Yet one joyous promise remains To cheer our faint hearts in the gloom: When ended life’s sorrows and pains, The angels will welcome us home. 2 How often we’re summoned to part With some cherished friend that we love! While grief sits supreme in the heart, What peace cometh down from above! They never will smile on us more While thro’ the bleak desert we roam, Yet safe on the evergreen shore, The angels will welcome us home. 3 ‘Tis only a little way o’er, This wearisome pilgrimage ends; There its trials and labors are gone, The sun in our heaven descends, And sweet is the promise of rest, And sweet is the meeting to come, For soon in the realms of the blest The angels will welcome us home.

Refrain: Is not this the land of Beulah? Blessed, blessed land of light; Where the flowers bloom forever, And the sun is always bright. 2 I can see far down the mountain, Where I wandered weary years, Often hindered in my journey, By the ghosts of doubt and fears; Broken vows and disappointments Thickly scattered all the way. Let them there; I’ve found my Saviour; He has been my strength and stay. [Refrain] 3 I am drinking at the fountain, Where I ever would abide; For I’ve tasted life’s pure river, And my soul is satisfied. There’s no thirst for earthly pleasures, Nor adornments rich and gay, For I’ve found a richer treasure, One that fadeth not away. [Refrain] 4 Oh! The cross has wondrous glory; Oft I’ve proved this to be true; When I’m in the way so narrow, I can see a pathway through; And how sweetly Jesus whispers, “Take the cross, thou need’st not fear; I have tried this way before thee, And the glory lingers near.” [Refrain] Topics: Land of Promise Languages: English
