Oh, let Him fold thee to His breast, There find a true, a perfect rest, And thou shalt be forever blest, By Jesus! precious Savior! Used With Tune: REEVES

Ah, ’tis Heaven at last! 5 What a city! what a glory! Far beyond the brightest story Of the ages old and hoary; Ah, ’tis Heaven at last! 6 Softest voices, silver pealing, Freshest fragrance, spirit healing, Happy hymns around us stealing; Ah, ’tis Heaven at last! 7 Gone the vanity and folly, Gone the dark and melancholy, Come the joyous and the holy; Ah, ’tis Heaven at last! 8 Not a broken blossom yonder, Not a link can snap asunder, Stayed the tempest, sheathed the thunder; Ah, ’tis Heaven at last! 9 Not a tear drop ever falleth, Not a pleasure ever palleth, Song to song for ever calleth; Ah, ’tis Heaven at last! 10 Christ Himself the living splendor, Christ the sunlight mild and tender; Praises to the Lamb we render; Ah, ’tis Heaven at last! 11 Now at length the veil is rended, Now the pilgrimage is ended, And the saints their thrones ascended; Ah, ’tis Heaven at last! 12 Broken death’s dread bands that bound us, Life and victory around us; Christ, the King, Himself hath crowned us, Ah, ’tis Heaven at last!

God of all Grace, Thy mercy send

Author: John Brownlie Meter: 8.8.8.5 Appears in 10 hymnals Lyrics: Deacon. Let us complete our evening supplication to the Lord. Choir. Lord, have mercy upon us. God of all Grace, Thy mercy send; Let Thy protecting arm defend; Save us, and keep us to the end. Have mercy, Lord. And through the coming hours of night, Fill us, we pray, with holy light; Keep us all sinless in Thy sight. Grant this, O Lord. May some bright messenger abide For ever by Thy servants’ side, A faithful guardian and guide. Grant this, O Lord. From every sin in mercy free, Let heart and conscience stainless be, That we may live henceforth for Thee. Grant this, O Lord. We would not be by care opprest, But in Thy love and wisdom rest;— Give what Thou seest to be best. Grant this, O Lord. While we of every sin repent, Let our remaining years be spent In holiness and sweet content. Grant this, O Lord. And when the end of life is near, May we, unshamed and void of fear, Wait for the Judgment to appear. Grant this, O Lord.
