Blest be the tie that binds

Appears in 2,347 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Blest be the tie that binds Our hearts in Christian love; The fellowship of kindred minds Is like to that above. 2 Before our Father's throne We pour our ardent prayers; Our fears, our hopes, our aims are one, Our comforts and our cares. 3 We share our mutual woes, Our mutual burdens bear, And often for each other flows The sympathizing tear. 4 When we asunder part, It gives us inward pain; But we shall still be join'd in heart, And hope to meet again. 5 From sorrow, toil, and pain, And sin, we shall be free; And perfect love and friendship reign Through all eternity.

Hark, my soul, it is the Lord!

Appears in 689 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Hark, my soul, it is the Lord! ’Tis thy Saviour, hear His Word: Jesus speaks, and speaks to thee: "Say, poor sinner, lov'st thou Me? 2 “I deliver'd thee, when bound, And when wounded heal'd thy wound; Sought thee wand'ring, set thee right, Turn'd thy darkness into light. 3 “Mine is an unchanging Love, Higher than the heights above, Deeper than the depths beneath, Free and faithful, strong as death. 4 "Thou shalt see My glory soon, When the work of grace is done; Partner of My throne shalt be: Say, poor sinner, lov'st thou Me?" 5 Lord, it is my chief complaint, That my love is weak and faint; Yet I love Thee and adore; Oh, for grace to love Thee more!

Palms of Glory, raiment bright

Appears in 140 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Palms of Glory, raiment bright, Crowns that never fade away, Gird and deck the saints in light; Priests, and kings, and conquerors, they. 2 Yet the conquerors bring their palms To the Lamb amidst the throne, And proclaim in joyful psalms, Victory through His cross alone. 3 Kings for harps their crowns resign, Crying, as they strike the chords-- "Take the kingdom; it is Thine, King of kings, and Lord of Lords." 4 Round the altar, priests confess, If their robes are white as snow, 'Twas the Saviour's righteousness, And His blood, that made them so.

Hark! a voice divides the sky

Appears in 77 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Hark! a voice divides the sky; Happy are the faithful dead, In the Lord who sweetly die; They from all their toils are freed. 2 Them the Spirit hath declared Blest, unutterably blest; Jesus is their great reward, Jesus is their endless rest. 3 Follow'd by their works, they go Where their Head has gone before; Reconciled by grace below, Grace has open'd mercy’s door. 4 Justified through faith alone, Here they knew their sins forgiven; Here they laid their burden down, Hallow'd and made meet for heaven. 5 When from flesh the spirit freed Hastens homeward to return, Mortals cry,"A man is dead!" Angels sing, "A child is born!" Topics: Burial; Death

High in yonder realms of light

Appears in 191 hymnals Lyrics: 1 High in yonder realms of light Dwell the raptured saints above, Far beyond our feeble sight, Happy in Immanuel's love! 2 Pilgrims in this vale of tears, Once they knew, like us below, Gloomy doubts, distressing fears, Torturing pain, and heavy woe. 3 But, these days of weeping o'er, Past this scene of toil and pain, They shall feel distress no more, Never--never weep again. 4 ‘Mid the chorus of the skies, ‘Mid th’angelic lyres above, Hark--their songs melodious rise, Songs of praise to Jesus' love! 5 Happy spirits! ye are fled Where no grief can entrance find: Lull'd to rest the aching head, Soothed the anguish of the mind. 6 Ev'ry tear is wiped away-- Sighs no more shall heave the breast; Night is lost in endless day-- Sorrow--in eternal rest.

How calm and beautiful the morn

Appears in 175 hymnals Lyrics: 1 How calm and beautiful the morn That gilds the sacred tomb, Where once the Crucified was borne, And veil'd in midnight gloom. Oh, weep no more the Saviour slain, The Lord is risen, He lives again. 2 Ye mourning saints, dry ev'ry tear For your departed Lord: "Behold the place, He is not here," The tomb is all unbarr'd; The gates of death were closed in vain, The Lord is risen; He lives again. 3 How tranquil now the rising day! ’Tis Jesus still appears, A risen Lord, to chase away Your unbelieving fears: Oh, weep no more your comforts, slain, The Lord is risen, He lives again. 4 And when the shades of evening fall, When life’s last hour draws nigh, If Jesus shine upon the soul, How blissful then to die: Since He has risen that once was slain, Ye die in Christ to live again.
