O When Shall I See Jesus?

Author: John Leland, 1754-1841 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 465 hymnals First Line: O when shall I see Jesus Lyrics: 1. O when shall I see Jesus, And reign with Him above, And from that flowing fountain Drink everlasting love! When shall I be delivered From this vain world of sin, And with my blessèd Jesus Drink endless pleasures in? 2. But now I am a soldier; My captain’s gone before. He’s given me my orders, And bids me not give o’er; And, if I hold out faithful, A crown of life He’ll give; And all His valiant soldiers Shall ever with Him live. 3. Through grace I am determined To conquer, though I die; And then away to Jesus On wings of love I’ll fly. Farewell to sin and sorrow, I bid you all adieu; Then, O my friends, prove faithful, And on your way pursue. 4. Whene’er you meet with troubles And trials on your way, O cast your care on Jesus, And don’t forget to pray: Gird on the heav’nly armor Of faith and hope and love; And when the combat’s ended, You’ll reign with Him above.

Praise Waits for Thee in Zion

Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 12 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Praise waits for thee in Zion; all men shall worship there and pay their vows before thee, O God who hearest prayer. Our sins rise up against us, prevailing day by day, but thou wilt show us mercy and take our guilt away. 2 How blest the man thou callest and bringest near to thee, that in thy courts forever his dwelling place may be; He shall within thy temple be satisfied with grace and filled with all the goodness of thy most holy place. 3 O God of our salvation, since thou dost love the right, thou wilt an answer send us in wondrous deeds of might. In all earth's habitations, on all the boundless sea, man finds no sure reliance, no peace, apart from thee. 4 Thy might sets fast the mountains; strength girds thee evermore to calm the raging peoples and still the ocean’s roar. Thy majesty and greatness are through all lands confessed, and joy on earth thou sendest afar, from east to west. 5 To bless the earth thou sendest from thine abundant store the waters of the springtime, enriching it once more. The seed by thee provided is sown o'er hill and plain, and thou with gentle showers dost bless the springing grain. 6 The year with good thou crownest, the earth thy mercy fills, the wilderness is fruitful, and joyful are the hills; with corn the vales are covered, the flocks in pastures graze; All nature joins in singing a joyful song of praise.

The Church's One Foundation

Author: Samuel J. Stone Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 885 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The Church’s one foundation Is Jesus Christ, her Lord; She is His new creation By water and the Word: From heav'n He came and sought her To be His holy bride; With His own blood He bought her And for her life He died. 2 Elect from every nation, Yet one o’er all the earth, Her charter of salvation: One Lord, one faith, one birth; One holy name she blesses, Partakes one holy food; And to one hope she presses, With every grace endued. 3 'Mid toil and tribulation And tumult of her war, She waits the consummation Of peace forevermore; Till with the vision glorious Her longing eyes are blest, And the great Church victorious Shall be the Church at rest. 4 Yet she on earth has union With God, the Three in One, And mystic, sweet communion With those whose rest is won; O happy ones and holy! Lord, give us grace that we Like them, the meek and lowly, On high may dwell with Thee. Topics: The Living Church Nature and Foundation Used With Tune: AURELIA

That glorious day is coming, The hour is hastening on; Its radiant light is nearing, Far brighter than the sun; In yonder clouds of heaven The Savior will appear; And gather all His chosen, To meet Him in the air. 2. The saints, then all victorious Will go to meet their Lord; An earth both bright and glorious, Will then be their reward; And God Himself there reigning, Will wipe all tears away; Nor clouds nor night remaining, But one eternal day. 3. O Christian, keep from sleeping, And let your love abound; Be watchful, prayerful, faithful, The trumpet soon will sound! O Sinner, hear the warning! To Jesus quickly fly! Then you, in that blest morning, May meet Him in the sky! Used With Tune: ANGEL'S STORY

O How Shall I Receive Thee

Author: Paul Gerhardt Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 95 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O how shall I receive Thee, How welcome Thee aright? All nations long to greet Thee, My Hope, my heart's Delight! O kindle, dearest Jesus, Thy fire within my breast, That I may know what pleases Thee, Lord, my heav'nly Guest. 2 Glad Zion strews before Thee Green boughs and fairest palms, And I too will adore Thee With sweetest songs and psalms; My heart shall bloom forever for Thee with praises new, And from Thy name shall never withhold the honor due. 3 I lay in fetters groaning, Thou com'st to set me free; I stood, my shame bemoaning, Thou com'st to honor me; A glory Thou dost give me, A treasure safe on high, That will not fail nor leave me As earthly riches fly. 4 No other impulse led Thee To leave Thy throne above, Upon Thine errand sped Thee, Than world-embracing love! A love that deeply feeleth The wants and woes of men; No tongue its fullness telleth, It passeth human ken. 5 Rejoice then, ye sad-hearted, Who sit in deepest gloom, Who mourn o'er joys departed And tremble at your doom; Despair not, He is near you, Yea, standing at the door, Who best can help and cheer you, And bid you weep no more.
