O happy home, where Thou art loved the dearest

Author: C. J. P. Spitta Meter: 11.10.11.10 Appears in 139 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O happy home, where Thou art loved the dearest, Thou loving Friend and Savior of our race, And where among the guests there never cometh One who can hold such high and honored place! 2 O happy home, where two in heart united In holy faith, and blessed hope, are one, Whom death a little while alone divideth And cannot end the union here begun! 3 O happy home, whose little ones are given Early to Thee, in humble faith and prayer, To Thee, their friend, who from the heights of heaven Guides them, and guards with more than mother's care! 4 O happy home, where each one serves Thee, lowly, Whatever his appointed work may be, Till every common task seems great and holy, When it is done, O Lord, as unto Thee! 5 O happy home, where Thou art not forgotten, When joy is overflowing, full and free; O happy home, where every wounded spirit Is brought, Physician, Comforter, to Thee,—- 6 Until at last, when earth's day's work is ended, All meet thee in the blessed home above, From whence Thou camest, where Thou hast ascended, Thine everlasting home of peace and love!

Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: To us is born a blessed child, To us a Son is given, Born of a virgin undefiled, He is our hope of heaven; Had not this Child to us been born, We all had been in sin forlorn He is our sole salvation; All thanks, Lord Jesus Christ, to Thee, That Thou wert pleased a man to be: Save us from condemnation!

Amid the world's deceitful cares

Author: L. P. Gothus; J. O. Wallin Meter: 8.8.7.8.8.7.8.7 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Amid the world's deceitful cares Thou dost not heed how unawares Thy day of life is ending! Secure thou livest, strong and wise, The world pursuing, 'tis the prize For which thou art contending:-- O man, O man! the end draws near! Thy life thou art expending! 2 While here thou toilest at thy best, Death comes, an uninvited guest-- His summons is appalling-- The most secure awakes with fears, And for the wise no way appears, The strongest then is falling:-- O man, O man! Death thee and all Away from earth is calling! 3 When sounds the voice: "The soul of thee, This very night required shall be!" Thou to the grave art tending-- Vain is resistance--vain thy nay-- For treat thou must that downward way Which none is reascending: O man, O man! from danger flee, Thy soul to God commending! 4 For if thou shouldst the whole world gain And lose thy soul, all were in vain, No gain is thee afforded! Thy works are counted at God's throne, And thou shalt reap what thou hast sown, O man, O man! thy peril know! 'Tis in God's word recorded! 5 Wide is the gate, and broad the way, That to destruction leads astray, The many yet pursue it; The narrow gate and narrow way Leads unto life and bliss for aye, And few be they that find it: O man, O man! O care betimes For thine immortal spirit! 6 Awake! awake! repent and pray! By faith prepare thyself each day To die in peace unfearing! The Christ embrace, thy sins deplore, The naked clothe, and feed the poor, By works thy faith declaring! O man, O man! before thy God Thou soon shalt have a hearing! 7 In alms, in works put not thy trust, But do thou pray: My God most just, Thy mercy I am needing! Out of the deep I cry to Thee; O judge me not be just decree! Thy mercy I am pleading! O Savior Christ! O Savior Christ! For me be interceding!

Go and let my grave be made

Author: E. M. Arndt Meter: 7.8.7.8.7.7 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Go and let my grave be made-- Tired and weary now with straying, Farewell to the earth I've said, Heaven's call to peace obeying: Calls me now the happy rest Of the angels eve blest. 2 Therefore, earth, farewell I say, False the hopes from thee we borrow! Let me now in peace away-- E'en thy very joy is sorrow; Fleeting is thy beauty's glow, Vain deceit and empty show! 3 Fare ye well, beloved friends! Ye whose tears so fast are flowing; God for all will make amends, For our griefs are His bestowing: Mourn not joys that ne'er endure, Heavenly joys alone are sure. 4 Weep not--lo! my Savior there, Mercy to my soul revealing; I, too, have obtained a share In His heart's deep wounds so healing, Whence the holy fountain streamed Which this sinful world redeemed. 5 Weep not--my Redeemer lives-- High above dark earth ascending, Hope her heavenly comfort gives; Faith stands by, her shield extending; Love eternal whispers near, "Child of God, no longer fear."

I know that my Redeemer lives

Author: P. Gerhardt Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.8.7 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 I know that my Redeemer lives, In this my faith is fast; And whatsoe'er against Him strives Will surely fall at last. He lives, the mighty One, I know, Whose arm overcomes the strongest for, Who death and hell hath vanquished. 2 He lives, He lives; though dust shall lie Upon my mouldering head, Yet He will call me, by and by, To quit an earthy bed; And I shall waken at His voice, Rise re-embodied,and rejoice To look on my Redeemer. 3 His promise, who hath ne'er deceived, In life and death I trust; The Lord in whom I have believed Will raise my sleeping dust: In this my very flesh that dies I shall revive, and with these eyes Shall see the God who made me. 4 Myself shall see Him in my flesh, With all His glory bright; His presence shall my heart refresh, And fill my soul with light. Myself shall ever on Him gaze, Myself shall ever sound His praise, Myself, and not another. 5 Rise then, my soul, e'en now, and live In hope's divine abode! Let earth and Satan vainly strive To tear thee from thy God. The bier, the coffin, let them show The grace, the gloom, the worm-- "I know That my Redeemer liveth."

Jesus, the very thought is sweet

Author: Bernard of Clairvaux Appears in 99 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus, the very thought is sweet; In that dear name all heart-joys meet; But O, than the honey sweeter far, The glimpses of His presence are. 2 No word is sung more sweet than this: No name is heard more full of bliss; No thought brings sweeter comfort nigh, Than Jesus, Son of God most high. 3 Jesus, the hope of souls forlorn, How good to them for sin that that mourn! To them that seek Thee, O how kind! But what art Thou to them that find? 4 Jesus, Thou sweetness, pure and blest, Truth’s fountain, light of souls distressed, Surpassing all that heart requires, Exceeding all that soul desires! 5 No tongue of mortal can express, No pen can write its blessedness: He only who hath proved it knows What bliss from love of Jesus flows. 6 O Jesus, King of wondrous might! O Victor, glorious from the fight! Sweetness that may not be expressed, And altogether loveliest! 7 Remain with us, O Lord, today! In every heart Thy grace display; That now the shades of night are fled, On Thee our spirits may be fed. 8 I seek for Jesus in repose, When round my heart its chambers close; Abroad, and when I shut the door, I long for Jesus evermore. 9 With Mary in the morning gloom I seek for Jesus at the tomb; For Him with love's most earnest cry, I seek with heart and not with eye. 10 Jesus, to God the Father gone, Is seated on the heavenly throne: My heart hath also passed from me, That where He is there it may be. 11 We follow Jesus now, and raise The voice of prayer, the hymn of praise, That He at last may make us meet With Him to gain the heavenly seat.

There many shall come from the east and the west

Author: M. B. Landstad Meter: 11.9.11.9.9 Appears in 16 hymnals Lyrics: 1 There many shall come from the east and the west And sit at the feast of salvation With Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the blest, Obeying the Lord's invitation. Have mercy upon us, O Jesus! 2 But they who have always resisted His grace And on their own virtue depended, Shall then be condemned and cast out from His face, Eternally lost and unfriended. Have mercy upon us, O Jesus! 3 O may we all hear when our Shepherd doth call, In accents persuasive and tender, That while there is time we make haste one and all And find Him, our mighty defender. Have mercy upon us, O Jesus! 4 O that we the throng of the ransomed may swell, To whom He hath granted remission. God graciously make us in heaven to dwell And save us from endless perdition. Have mercy upon us, O Jesus! 5 God grant that I may of His infinite love Remain in His merciful keeping; And sit with the King at His table above, When here in the grace I am sleeping. Have mercy upon us, O Jesus! 6 All trials are then like a dream that is past, Forgotten all trouble and sorrow; All questions and doubts have been answered at last; Then dawneth eternity's morrow. Have mercy upon us, O Jesus! 7 The heavens shall ring with an anthem more grand Than ever on earth was recorded; The blest of the Lord shall receive at His hand The crown to the victors awarded. Have mercy upon us, O Jesus!

Behold a host, arrayed in white

Author: H. A. Brorson Appears in 23 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Behold a host, arrayed in white, Like thousand snow-clad mountains bright, With palms they stand--Who are this band Before the throne of light? Lo, these are they, of glorious fame, Who from the great affliction came And in the flood of Jesus' blood Are cleansed from guilt and blame; Now gathered in the holy place Their voices they in worship raise, Their anthems swell where God doth dwell, 'Mid angels' songs of praise. 2 Despised and scorned they sojourned here, But now, how glorious they appear! Those martyrs stand, a priestly band, God's throne forever near. So oft, in troubled days gone by, In anguish they would weep and sigh; At home above the God of love For aye their tears shall dry. They now enjoy their sabbath rest, The paschal banquet of the blest; The Lamb, their Lord, at festal board Himself is host and guest. 3 Then hail! ye mighty legions, yea, All hail! Now safe and blest for aye; And praise the Lord, who with His word Sustained you on the way. Ye did the joys of earth disdain, Ye toiled and sowed in tears and pain; Farewell, now bring your sheaves and sing Salvation's glad refrain. Swing high your palms, lift up your song, Yea, make it myriad voices strong: Eternally shall praise to Thee, God, and the Lamb belong!
