The Homeland! O The Homeland!

Author: H. R. Haweis Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 187 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The Homeland! O the Homeland! The land of souls free-born! No gloomy night is known there, But aye the fade-less morn: I’m sighing for that Country, My heart is aching here; There is no pain in the Homeland, To which I'm drawing near. 2 My Lord is in the Homeland, With angels bright and fair; No sinful thing nor evil Can ever enter there; The music of the ransomed Is ringing in my ears, And when I think of the Homeland, My eyes are wet with tears. 3 For loved ones in the Homeland Are waiting me to come Where neither death nor sorrow Invade their holy home: O dear, dear native Country! O rest and peace above! Christ bring us all to the Homeland Of His eternal love. Amen. Topics: The Christian Life Heaven; Processionals and Recessionals Heaven Used With Tune: HOMELAND

O Blessed Light From Heaven

Author: C. K. Solberg Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 O Blessed Light from heaven, Shine forth into my soul! Dispel the innate darkness That would my heart control! Without Thee I am groping And should forever stray, For Thou alone canst save me And safely lead the way. 2 Without Thee, precious Savior, There is eternal night, I cannot live without Thee, Make me a child of light; Let nothing come between us, But keep me ever Thine; Upon my lifelong journey Shine in this heart of mine! 3 And may Thy light within me Again reflected be, That I may shine for others And lead some soul to Thee. So many are benighted In ignorance and sin, Who daily are refusing To let Thy sunshine in. 4 Lord, keep me ever faithful To let my light so shine That I may be a blessing, And all the glory Thine! And when my days are numbered, Then sainted by Thy grace, Forever in Thy glory May I behold Thy face. Amen.

Our ministries are different; our purpose is the same: To touch the lives of others by God's surprising grace, so every folk and nation may feel God's warm embrace. 3 Now let us be united, and let our song be heard. Now let us be a vessel for God's redeeming Word. We all are one in mission; we all are one in call, our varied gifts united by Christ, the Lord of all.

A day that tells of triumph Against our vanquished foe! Yield, summer’s brightest sunrise, To this December morn: Lift up your gates, ye princes, And let the child be born! 2. With Gloria in excelsis Archangels tell their mirth: With Kyrie elëyson Men answer upon earth: And angels swell the triumph, And mortals raise the horn, Lift up your gates, ye princes, And let the Child be born. 3. He comes, His throne the manger; He comes, His shrine the stall; The ox and ass His courtiers, Who made and governs all: The House of Bread His birth-place, The Prince of wine and corn: Lift up your gates, ye princes, And let the child be born. 4. Then bar the gates, that henceforth None thus may passage win, Because the Prince of Israel Alone hath entered in: The earth, the sky, the ocean His glorious way adorn: Lift up your gates, ye princes, And let the child be born.

This night, O Lord, we bless Thee For Thy protecting care, And, ere we rest, address Thee In lowly, fervent prayer: From evil and temptation Defend us through the night, And round our habitation Be Thou a wall of light. 2. On Thee our whole reliance From day to day we cast, To Thee, with firm affiance, Would cleave from first to last; To Thee, through Jesus’ merit, For needful grace we come, And trust that Thy good Spirit Will guide us safely home. 3. What may be on the morrow Our foresight cannot see; But be it joy or sorrow, We know it comes from Thee. And nothing cane take from us, Where’er our steps may move, The staff of Thy sure promise, The shield of Thy true love. Used With Tune: AURELIA

In heavenly love abiding

Author: Anna L. Waring Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 586 hymnals Lyrics: In heavenly love abiding, No change my heart shall fear, And safe is such confiding, For nothing changes here. The storm may roar without me, My heart may low be laid; But God is round about me, And can I be dismayed? 206 Wherever He may guide me, No want shall turn me back; My Shepherd is beside me, And nothing can I lack. His wisdom ever waketh, His sight is never dim; He knows the way He taketh, And I will walk with Him. Green pastures are before me, Which yet I have not seen; Bright skies will soon be o'er me, Where the dark clouds have been. My hope I cannot measure, The path to life is free; My Savior has my treasure, And He will walk with me. Topics: Sundays after Trinity Faith; Visitation Used With Tune: BENTLEY
