All Well

Author: Horatius Bonar Meter: 7.6.7.6 Appears in 31 hymnals First Line: No seas again shall sever Lyrics: 1 No seas again shall sever; No desert intervene; No deep, sad flowing river Shall roll its tide between. 2 No bleak cliffs upward towering, Shall bound our eager sight; No tempest darkly lowering, Shall wrap us in its night. 3 Love, and unsevered union, Of soul with those we love, Nearness and glad communion Shall be our joy above. 4 No dread of wasting sickness, No thought of ache or pain, No fretting hours of weakness, Shall mar our peace again. 5 No death our homes o’ershading, Shall e’er our harps unstring, For all is life unfading, In presence of our king.

When On Her Maker's Bosom

Author: Reginald Heber, 1783-1826 Meter: 7.6.7.6 Appears in 12 hymnals First Line: When on her Maker’s bosom Lyrics: 1 When on her Maker’s bosom, The new-born earth was laid, And nature’s opening blossom Its fairest bloom displayed; 2 When all with fruit and flowers The laughing soil was dressed, And Eden’s fragrant bowers Received their human guest: 3 No sin his face defiling, The heir of nature stood, And God, benignly smiling, Beheld that all was good. 4 Yet in that hour of blessing, A single want was known— A wish the heart distressing— For Adam was alone. 5 God of pure affection, By men and saints adored, Who gavest Thy protection To Cana’s nuptial board, 6 May such Thy bounties ever To wedded love be shown, And no rude hand dissever, Whom Thou hast linked in one.

No human tongue can tell— But He our Lord is yonder, And therefore all is well. 13 Oh! joy, to think that yonder No mist our eyes shall dim; For "we shall see Him" yonder, And we shall be like Him.
