One sweetly solemn thought

Author: P. Cary Hymnal: The Church Hymnal #559 (1920) Topics: General Home and Personal Use Lyrics: 1 One sweetly solemn thought Comes to me o'er and o'er; I am nearer my home today Than I ever have been before; 2 Nearer the great white throne, Nearer the crystal sea, Nearer my Father's house, Where the "many mansions" be; 3 Nearer the bound of life, Where we lay our burdens down; Nearer leaving the cross, Nearer gaining the crown; 4 But lying darkly between, Winding down thro' the night, Is the deep and unknown stream To be crossed ere we reach the light. 5 Jesus, perfect my trust, Strengthen the hand of my faith: Let me feel Thee near when I stand On the edge of the shore of death; 6 Feel Thee near when my feet Are slipping over the brink; For it may be I'm nearer home, Nearer now than I think.

There is a land of peace and love

Author: F. Stanfield Hymnal: The Church Hymnal #560 (1920) Topics: General Home and Personal Use Lyrics: 1 There is a land of peace and love, Where troubled hearts find rest No gloom, no storm, nor lonely night Can ever dim th' eternal light Of that bright home above. 2 No sorrow e'er can reach that shore, And there no tear shall fall; Earth's glories all shall pass away, Lost in the light of endless day, And grief shall be no more. 3 And oh! when on our raptured gaze Shall break the sight of God, Then shall our harboured spirits rest Wrapt in the vision of the bless'd Mid songs of ceaseless praise. 4 Then shall life's fevered toil be o'er, And restless hearts be calm; Then shall these anxious yearnings cease, And troubled spirits rest in peace On Heaven's eternal shore. 5 Fear not, though still earth's dark'ning gloom O'ershadows life's lone path; Jesus has shown the heavenward way Which leads to realms of endless day, To our dear Father's home.

My Jesus, as Thou wilt!

Author: J. Borthwick; B. Schmolck Hymnal: The Church Hymnal #547 (1920) Topics: General Home and Personal Use Lyrics: 1 My Jesus, as Thou wilt! O may Thy will be mine! In to Thy hand of love I would my all resign; Through sorrow or through joy Conduct me as Thine own, And help me still to say, My Lord, Thy will be done. 2 My Jesus, as Thou wilt! Tho' seen through many a tear, Let not my star of hope Grow dim or disappear; Since Thou on earth hast wept, And sorrowed oft alone, If I must weep with Thee, My Lord, Thy will be done! 3 My Jesus, as Thou wilt! All shall be well for me; Each changing future scene I gladly trust with Thee: Straight to my home above I travel calmly on, And sing in life or death, My Lord, Thy will be done!

Havergal Hymnal: The Church Hymnal #551 (1920) Topics: General Home and Personal Use Lyrics: 1 Take my life, and let it be Consecrated, Lord, to Thee; Take my moments and my days; Let them flow in ceaseless praise.

Take my silver and my gold, Not a mite would I withhold; Take my intellect, and use Every power as Thou shalt choose. 5 Take my will, and make it Thine; It shall be no longer mine; Take my heart, it is Thine own; It shall be Thy royal throne. Take my love; my Lord, I pour At Thy feet its treasure store: Take myself, and I will be, Ever, only, all, for Thee. Languages: English Tune Title: IVES
