In Heaven Above, in Heaven Above

Author: Johan Åström Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 36 hymnals First Line: In heav'n above, in heav'n above Lyrics: 1 In heav'n above, in heav'n above, Where God our Father dwells: How boundless there the blessedness! No tongue its greatness tells: There face to face, and full and free, Ever and evermore we see-- We see the Lord of hosts! 2 In heav'n above, in heav'n above, What glory deep and bright! The splendor of the noonday sun Grows pale before its light: The mighty Sun that ne'er goes down, Before whose gleam clouds never frown, Is God the Lord of hosts. 3 In heaven above, in heaven above, No tears of pain are shed: For nothing e'er shall fade or die; Life’s fullness round is spread, And, like an ocean, joy o’erflows, And with immortal mercy glows Our God the Lord of hosts! 4 In heaven above, in heaven above, God hath a joy prepared, Which mortal ear hath never heard, Nor mortal vision shared, Which never entered mortal breast, By mortal lips was ne'er expressed, O God the Lord of hosts!

Where Cross the Crowded Ways of Life

Author: Frank Mason North Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 377 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Where cross the crowded ways of life, Where sound the cries of race and clan, Above the noise of selfish strife, We hear Thy voice, O Son of Man. 2 In haunts of wretchedness and need, On shadowed thresholds dark with fears, From paths where hide the lures of greed, We catch the vision of Thy tears. 3 From tender childhood's helplessness, From woman's grief, man's burdened toil, From famished souls, from sorrow's stress, Thy heart has never known recoil. 4 The cup of water given for Thee Still holds the freshness of Thy grace; Yet long these multitudes to see The sweet compassion of Thy face. 5 O Master, from the mountain side, Make haste to heal these hearts of pain; Among these restless throngs abide, O tread the city's streets again, 6 Till sons of men shall learn Thy love, And follow where Thy feet have trod; Till glorious from Thy heaven above Shall come the City of our God. Amen. Topics: Missions Inner-Charities; Epiphany, Third Sunday; Inner Missions; Prayer for the Sick Used With Tune: EN FRÄMLING KLAPPAR PÅ DIN DÖRR

My sins are great, where shall I flee? The blood of Jesus speaks for me; For all our sins He carried. 2 Repentant at Thy feet I fall, To Thy cross humbly clinging, O Jesus, hear me when I call, My wants before Thee bringing. My trust is in Thy grace and pow'r; For all was finished in that hour, When Thou didst make atonement. 3 When I approach Thine altar, Lord, May I this comfort cherish, That on the cross, Thy blood was poured For me, lest I should perish. Thou didst for me God's law fulfill. That holy joy my heart might thrill, When on Thy love I'm feasting. 4 Shield me against the tempter's power, Whene'er he would assail me: Confirm my faith in death's dark hour, O let it never fail me! Lord Jesus, who hast died for me, My life I would devote to Thee, To praise Thy Name forever. Amen.

I will not fear When God, my Shield, is ever near. 2 Though thousands at my side may fall, Ten thousand near me stumble, On Thee, my Saviour, will I call, Thou carest for the humble. I will not fear the arrow's flight, Nor yet the dark night's terror: Thy saints are precious in Thy sight, Thou keepest them from error, For Thou hast sent Thine angels bright to guard my tent. 3 "He loveth Me," thus saith the Lord, "Therefore will I uphold him; Because he waits upon My Word, With love will I enfold him. His enemies shall rage in vain, No evil shall come near him; His prayers with Me acceptance gain, Before he calls, I'll hear him. His days I'll bless With joy, and peace, and righteousness." Amen.
