What cheering words are these?

Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 146 hymnals Lyrics: 1 What cheering words are these? Their sweetness who can tell? In time and to eternity, ’Tis with the righteous well. 2 In ev'ry state secure, Kept by Jehovah’s eye, ’Tis well with them while life endures, And well when call'd to die. 3 ’Tis well when joys arise, ’Tis well when sorrows flow; ’Tis well when darkness veils the skies, And strong temptations blow. 4 ’Tis well when on the mount They feast on dying love; And ’tis as well, in God’s account, When they the furnace prove. 5 'Tis well when at His throne They wrestle, weep, and pray; 'Tis well when at His feet they groan, Yet bring their wants away. 6 'Tis well when Jesus calls: "From earth and sin, arise, Join with the hosts of virgin souls, Made to salvation wise!"

How do Thy mercies close me round!

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 113 hymnals Lyrics: 1 How do Thy mercies close me round! For ever be Thy name adored; I blush in all things to abound; The servant is above his Lord! 2 Inured to poverty and pain, A suff'ring life my Master led: The Son of God, the Son of man, He had not where to lay His head. 3 But lo! a place He hath prepared For me, whom watchful angels keep; Yea, He himself becomes my guard; He smooths my bed and gives me sleep. 4 Jesus protects; my fears, begone: What can the Rock of Ages move? Safe in Thine arms I lay me down, Thine everlasting arms of love. 5 I rest beneath th'Almighty's shade, My griefs expire, my troubles cease; Thou, Lord, on whom my soul is stay'd, Wilt keep me still in perfect peace. 6 Me for Thine own Thou lov'st to take In time and in eternity; Thou never, never wilt forsake A helpless worm that trusts in Thee.

Through sorrow's night and danger's path

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 188 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Though sorrow's night and danger's path, Amid the deep'ning gloom, We soldiers of an injured King Are marching to the tomb. 2 There, when the turmoil is no more, And all our powers decay, Our cold remains in solitude Shall sleep the years away. 3 Our labors done, securely laid In this our last retreat, Unheeded o'er our silent dust The storms of life shall beat. 4 Yet not thus lifeless, thus inane, The vital spark shall lie, For o'er life's wreck that spark shall rise To seek its kindred sky. 5 These ashes too, this little dust, Our Father's care shall keep, Till the last angel rise, and break The long and dreary sleep. 6 Then love's soft dew o'er every eye Shall shed its mildest rays, And the long silent dust shall burst With shouts of endless praise.

There is a land of pure delight

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,421 hymnals Lyrics: 1 There is a land of pure delight, Where saints immortal reign; Infinite day excludes the night, And pleasures banish pain. 2 There everlasting spring abides, And never-with'ring flowers: Death, like a narrow sea, divides This heavenly land from ours. 3 Sweet fields, beyond the swelling flood, Stand dress'd in living green: So to the Jews old Canaan stood, While Jordan roll'd between. 4 But tim'rous mortals start and shrink To cross this narrow sea; And linger, shiv'ring on the brink, And fear to launch away. 5 O could we make our doubts remove, Those gloomy thoughts that rise, And see the Canaan that we love With unbeclouded eyes! 6 Could we but climb where Moses stood, And view the landscape o’er, Not Jordan’s stream, nor death’s cold flood, Should fright us from the shore.
