  Jesus, Son of Mary, Fount of life alone, Here we hail Thee present on Thine altar throne. Humbly we adore Thee, Lord of endless might, In the mystic symbols veiled from earthly sight. Think, O Lord, in mercy on the souls of those Who, in faith gone from us, now in death repose. Here ’mid stress and conflict toils can never cease; There, the warfare ended, bid them rest in peace. Often were they wounded in the deadly strife; Heal them, Good Physician, with the balm of life. Every taint of evil, frailty and decay, Good and gracious Savior, cleanse and purge away.

  And now the wants are told, that brought Thy children to Thy knee; Here lingering still, we ask for naught, But simply worship Thee. The hope of Heav’n’s eternal days Absorbs not all the heart That gives Thee glory, love, and praise For being what Thou art. For Thou art God, the One, the Same, O’er all things high and bright; And round us, when we speak Thy Name, There spreads a heav’n of light. O wondrous peace, in thought to dwell On excellence divine; To know that naught in man can tell How fair Thy beauties shine! O Thou, above all blessing blest, O’er thanks exalted far, Thy very greatness is a rest To weaklings as we are; For when we feel the praise of Thee A task beyond our powers, We say, “A perfect God is He, And He is fully ours.” All glory to the Father be, All glory to the Son, All glory, Holy Ghost, to Thee, While endless ages run.

  Friend after friend departs; Who hath not lost a friend? There is no union here of hearts, That finds not here an end: Were this frail world our only rest, Living or dying, none were blest. Beyond the flight of time, Beyond this vale of death, There surely is some blessèd clime Where life is not a breath, Nor life’s affections transient fire, Whose sparks fly upward and expire. There is a world above, Where parting is unknown, A whole eternity of love, Formed for the good alone; And faith beholds the dying here Translated to that happier sphere. Thus star by star declines, Till all are passed away, As morning high and higher shines To pure and perfect day; Nor sink those stars in empty night, But hide themselves in Heaven’s own light.

Such is the Christian’s parting hour; So peacefully he sinks to rest, When faith, endued from Heav’n with power, Sustains and cheers his languid breast. Mark but that radiance of his eye, That smile upon his wasted cheek; They tell us of his glory nigh, In language that no tongue can speak. A beam from Heav’n is sent to cheer The pilgrim on his gloomy road; And angels are attending near, To bear him to their bright abode. Who would not wish to die like those Whom God’s own Spirit deigns to bless? To sink into that soft repose, Then wake to perfect happiness?

  If there be that skills to reckon All the number of the blest, He perchance can weigh the gladness Of the everlasting rest, Which, their earthly exile finished, They by merit have possessed. Through the vale of lamentation Happily and safely past, Now the years of their affliction In their memory they recast, And the end of all perfection They can contemplate at last. There the gifts of each and single All in common right possess; There each member hath his portion In the Body’s blessedness; So that he, the least in merits, Shares the guerdon none the less. In a glass through types and riddles Dwelling here, we see alone; Then serenely, purely, clearly, We shall know as we are known, Fixing our enlightened vision On the glory of the throne. There the Trinity of Persons Unbeclouded shall we see; There the Unity of Essence Perfectly revealed shall be; While we hail the Threefold Godhead And the simple Unity. Wherefore, man, take heart and courage, Whatsoe’er thy present pain; Such untold reward through suffering Thou may’st merit to attain; And for ever in His glory With the Light of light to reign.

• [Heb 4:9] My Heart Is Yearning Ever

  My heart is yearning ever To reach a place of rest. Jerusalem, my happy home, In thee my heart shall never By sin or grief be pressed. My heart is yearning ever To reach that city bright. Within its radiant portals None ever sheds a tear; God’s city bright gives all delight, No grief nor wail or mortals Is where the Lamb is near; Within its radiant portals None ever sheds a tear. Their blessèd Lord and Savior Doth rule and govern them In peace and joy, without alloy, For sin can enter never The new Jerusalem; Their blessèd Lord and Savior Doth rule and govern them. Behold the goal in glory, Now shining from afar. O city of the God of love, Where no more earthly worry My happiness shall mar! Behold the goal in glory, Now shining from afar. And even I shall conquer In Jesus’ Name and might; Tho’ weak and faint, still as a saint I’ll in the haven anchor, Sweet haven of delight. Yea, even I shall conquer In Jesus’ Name and might.

  Now the busy week is done, Now the rest-time is begun; Thou hast brought us on our way, Kept and led us day by day; Now there comes the first and best, Day of worship, light and rest. Hallow, Lord, the coming day! When we meet to praise and pray, Hear Thy Word, Thy feast attend, Hours of happy service spend; To our hearts be manifest, Lord of labor and of rest. For Thy children gone before We can trust Thee and adore; All their earthly week is past, Sabbath-time is theirs at last; Fold them, Father, to Thy breast, Give them everlasting rest. Guide us all the days to come, Till Thy mercy call us home: All our powers do Thou employ, Be Thy work our chiefest joy; Then, the promised land possessed, Bid us enter into rest.

  O sleepless nights, O cheerless days, O sobs, that will not cease; Be still, be still! kind are His ways, Christ is the Prince of Peace: ’Tis well thy head, in throbbing pain, May pillow on His breast; Weep there thy tears like springtime rain— He gives the mourner rest. Toil bravely on, ’twill not be long Thy bark shall plow the main; Steer well; thy guide shall be the song That rings from Heaven’s plain; And watch thou for the gleaming lights That shine across the wave; They’re planted on fair Heaven’s heights, The mariner to save. Steer well! the harbor just ahead Aglow with glory’s ray, Will on thee golden luster shed, From out the gates of day, And waiting there are longing hands That thrill to clasp thine own, And lead thee thro’ the heav’nly land Into the bright unknown. Oh, strive thou well to overcome, And clothe thyself in white, Wait patiently thy welcome home To scenes of glory bright: The Lord loves those He chastens sore, And binds the bleeding wound; And gently heals the heart He tore, That grace may more abound!

  A rest remaineth for the weary; Arise, sad heart, and grieve no more; Though long the way, and dark and dreary, It endeth on the golden shore. Before His throne the Lamb will lead thee, On heav’nly pastures He will feed thee, Cast off thy burden, come with haste; Soon will the toil and strife be ended, The weary way which thou hast wended. Sweet is the rest which thou shalt taste. The Father’s house has many a dwelling, And there will be a place for thee. With perfect love His heart is welling Who loved thee from eternity. His precious blood the Lamb hath given That thou might’st share the joys of Heaven, And now He calleth far and near: “Ye weary souls, cease your repining, Come while for you My light is shining; Come, sweetest rest awaits you here!” O come, come all, ye weak and weary, Ye souls bowed down with many a care; Arise and leave your dungeons dreary And listen to His promise fair: “Ye bore your burdens meek and lowly, I will fulfill My pledge most holy, I’ll be your solace and your rest. Ye are Mine own, I will requite you; Though sin and Satan seek to smite you, Rejoice! Your home is with the blest.” There rest and peace in endless measure Shall be ours through eternity; No grief, no care, shall mar our pleasure, And untold bliss our lot shall be. Oh, had we wings to hasten yonder— No more o’er earthly ills to ponder— To join the glad, triumphant band! Make haste, my soul, forget all sadness; For peace awaits thee, joy and gladness— The perfect rest is nigh at hand.

  Softly fades the twilight ray, Of the holy Sabbath day; Gently as life’s setting sun, When the Christian’s course is run. Night her solemn mantle spreads O’er the earth as daylight fades; All things tell of calm repose, At the holy Sabbath’s close. Peace is on the world abroad, ’Tis the holy peace of God; Symbol of the peace within, When the spirit rests from sin. Still the Spirit lingers near, Where the evening worshipper Seeks communion with the skies, Pressing onward to the prize. Savior, may our Sabbaths be Days of peace and joy in Thee! Till in Heav’n our souls repose, Where the Sabbath ne’er shall close.
