I Love That Holy Scripture

Author: Helen Taylor Meter: 7.6.7.6 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 I love that Holy Scripture, Where I am truly told About the heav’nly city, With walls of precious gold. 2 About the shining river That goeth through the street— The boughs of life above it, With fruit and blossoms sweet. 3 This world is sometimes happy, With pleasant things I love; But it must be far, far better To dwell in Heav’n above. 4 Not that the walls are golden, The gates are always bright; Not that the river poureth Through every street its light. 5 Not that a pleasant music From golden harps is stirred, And every sound is sweeter, Than ear hath ever heard. 6 But there shall never enter The dark, rude thoughts of sin, That here are always watching To come the heart within. 7 And there we shall not find it So very hard to be Gentle and true and patient, For we the Lord shall see. 8 And so we shall grow like Him, All holy things to love; O! it must be far, far better To dwell in Heav’n above!

In Heavenly Love abiding

Author: A. L.Waring Meter: 7.6.7.6 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, Bnt God is round about me, And can I be dismayed? 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, My path to life is free, My Savior has my treasure, And He will walk with me. Scripture: Psalm 23:4

The Pilgrim

Author: Rozzel Meter: 7.6.7.6 Appears in 4 hymnals First Line: Amidst ten thousand dangers Lyrics: 1 Amidst ten thousand dangers, Which everywhere abound, The pilgrims and the strangers Alone secure are found; For on their Lord they’re waiting, They seek him night and day; His aid they’re supplicating In his appointed way. 2 [How signal are the blessings My Saviour has bestowed! He taught me wisdom’s lessons, When I had lost the road. From death he has me raisèd, By his almighty power; Let his great name be praisèd, Both now and evermore.] 3 Through Christ, the Mediator, To God access we find; The Spirit’s own dictator, Who knows the Father’s mind. Thus through this world of trouble His saints in safety go; They count the world a bubble, All vanity below. Topics: Tribulation and Inconstancy of Mind

From Distant Shores Returning

Author: H. Brueckner; C. Barth Meter: 7.6.7.6 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 From distant shores returning, The pilgrim journeys home; For rest His soul is yearning, He would no longer roam. 2 A flowered grave encloses What he had held so dear; He sees the wilting roses, And looks beyond for cheer. 3 Great cities often glory In boundless wealth of gold, But soon the doleful story Of their decay is told. 4 The harps sweet tones are waning Upon the silent air, Nor day nor night retaining That melody so fair. 5 The pilgrim who the pleasures Of yonder world can taste, Cares naught for earthly treasures, That soon will go to waste. 6 He longs for things immortal, For joys that ne'er decay, And so to heaven's portal He fondly wends his way.

In unity together On this fair earth to dwell! 2 As dew from lofty Hermon Into the valley flows, So God upon the brethren His choicest gifts bestows, So God upon the brethren His choicest gifts bestows. 3 And thro' them He reneweth That city fair and free, Where souls, by sin polluted, Shall pure and spotless be. Where souls, by sin polluted, Shall pure and spotless be. 4 And all the chosen people Shall there His face behold And be with Him forever, One Shepherd and one fold, And be with Him forever, One Shepherd and one fold.
