Why those fears? Behold, 'tis Jesus

Author: A.H. Mann Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.7 Appears in 19 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Why those fears? Behold, 'tis Jesus Holds the helm and guides the ship: Spread the sails, and catch the breezes Sent to waft us through the deep; To the regions Where the mourners cease to weep. 2 Though the shore we hope to land on Only by report is known, Yet we freely all abandon, Led by that report alone; And with Jesus Through the trackless deep move on. 3 Led by that, we brave the ocean; Led by that, the storms defy; Calm amidst tumultuous motion, Knowing that our Lord in nigh: Waves obey Him, And the storms before Him fly. 4 O what pleasures there await us: There the tempests cease to rear; There it is that those who hate us Can molest our peace no more; Trouble ceases On that tranquil happy shore.

By Thy Spirit, By Thy Spirit, Bring Thy ransomed people home. 4 Soon shall end the time of weeping, Soon the reaping time will come; Heaven and earth together keeping God's eternal Harvest Home. Saints and angels, Saints and angels, Shout the world's great Harvest Home. Amen. Used With Tune: [Saints of God! the dawn is brightening]

“Come, Ye Blessed!”

Author: Joseph Morris Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.7 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Lo! He comes on clouds of glory Lyrics: Lo! He comes on clouds of glory, Circled by an angel-throng Who proclaim His lofty titles With their trumpets, loud and long. Halleluiah, Welcome, welcome, Son of Man! Thousand thousands, myriad myriads Bright attendants on the Lord, See I rising from corruption, At the mighty signal-word: Farewell, sadness, Full redemption now is come. Now behold th’ exalted Shepherd Calleth one by one his sheep; Lo! they rise with joy to meet Him, None in earth or ocean sleep. Love unbounded, Thou shalt henceforth ever reign. There for sin is no upbraiding, Nought but pardon full and free: Nought but his deep love, and merit Shall now unforgotten be; Fear hath vanished, Joy and rapture overflow. “Come, ye faithful servants, enter, Blessèd children of your God: Come, receive eternal mansions, Purchased for you with my blood! Come and welcome, Now my love is satisfied.”

Chautauqua Hymn

Author: Salathial C. Kirk Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.7 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: By Thy favor, Lord, we gather Lyrics: 1 By Thy favor, Lord, we gather In our circle here tonight; Guide our minds, O gracious Father, Give them more than human sight; Lead us ever, In our studies, toward the light. 2 See we in the realm of story Nations flourish and decline? In their fall, as in their glory, May we see the Hand divine; Lamp of wisdom, Shine on every page and line. 3 As we search the field of learning, Let us sift as we pursue; By the higher light discerning What is false and what is true; Choosing rather Older truth than errors new.
