[2Co 5:1] There Is A House Not Made With Hands
There is a house not made with hands,
Eternal and on high;
And here my spirit waiting stands,
Till God shall bid it fly.Shortly this prison of my clay
Must be dissolved and fall;
Then, O my soul! with joy obey
Thy heav’nly Father’s call.’Tis He, by His almighty grace,
That forms Thee fit for Heav’n;
And, as an earnest of the place,
Has His own Spirit giv’n.We walk by faith of joys to come,
Faith lives upon His Word;
But while the body is our home,
We’re absent from the Lord.’Tis pleasant to believe Thy grace,
But we had rather see;
We would be absent from the flesh
And present, Lord, with Thee.Play source: Cyberhymnal

Piercing spear, and torturing scorn,

Held in vain the rising God,

There angels to Him sing and lowly homage give;

The prophets there behold their longed for Prince of peace;
O happy place! When shall I be,
My God, with Thee, to see Thy face?The Lamb’s Apostles there I might with joy behold,
The harpers I might hear harping on harps of gold;
O happy place! When shall I be,
My God, with Thee, to see Thy face?The bleeding martyrs, they within those courts are found,
Clothèd in pure array, their scars with glory crowned;
O happy place! When shall I be,
My God, with Thee, to see Thy face?Ah me! ah me! that I in Kedar’s tent here stay;

Along the path of life.”

Soon I’ll end this earthly race;

Along the path of life.”“Pilgrim, why look you so glad

The message of truth with an anxious desire,

Far off I see the goal—O Savior, guide me;

With vision ever clear, with love that conquers fear,
And grace to persevere, O Lord, provide me.Whene’er Thy way seems strange, go Thou before me;
And, lest my heart should change, O Lord, watch o’er me;
But, should my faith prove frail, and I through blindness fail,
O let Thy grace prevail, and still restore me.Should earthly pleasures wane, and joy forsake me;
And lonely hours of pain at length o’ertake me,
My hand in Thine hold fast till sorrow be o’erpast,
And gentle death at last for Heav’n awake me.There, with the ransomed throng who praise forever
The love that made them strong to serve forever,
I, too, would seek Thy face, Thy finished work retrace,
And magnify Thy grace, redeemed forever.Play source: Cyberhymnal -

For the saints who before us have found their reward;
When the shadow of death fell upon them, we sorrowed,
But now we rejoice that they rest in the Lord.In the morning of life, and at noon, and at even,
He called them away from our worship below;
But not till His love, at the font and the altar,
Had girt them with grace for the way they should go.These stones that have echoed their praises are holy,
And dear is the ground where their feet have once trod;
Yet here they confessed they were strangers and pilgrims,
And still they were seeking the city of God.Sing praise, then, for all who here sought and here found Him,
Whose journey is ended, whose perils are past;

Short toil, eternal rest;
For mortals and for sinners
A mansion with the blest!And martyrdom hath roses
Upon that heavenly ground,
And white and virgin lilies
For virgin-souls abound.There grief is turned to pleasure;
Such pleasure as below
No human voice can utter,
No human heart can know.And after fleshly weakness,
And after this world’s night,
And after storm and whirlwind,
Are calm, and joy, and light.And now we fight the battle,
But then shall wear the crown
Of full and everlasting
And passionless renown.And He, whom now we trust in,
Shall then be seen and known;
And they that know and see Him
Shall have Him for their own.And now we watch and struggle,
And now we live in hope,
And Zion in her anguish
With Babylon must cope.But there is David’s fountain,
And life in fullest glow;
And there the light is golden,
And milk and honey flow.The morning shall awaken,
The shadows flee away,
And each true hearted servant
Shall shine as doth the day.There God, our King and Portion,
In fullness of His grace,
We then shall see forever,
And worship face to face.O sweet and blessèd country,
The home of God’s elect!
