  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.

• [Heb 4:9] How Sweet The Hour Of Closing Day

  How sweet the hour of closing day, When all is peaceful and serene, And when the sun, with cloudless ray, Sheds mellow luster o’er the scene! 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?

• [Heb 4:9] If There Be That Skills To Reckon

  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.

  I’m but a stranger here, Heav’n is my home; Earth is a desert drear, Heav’n is my home. Danger and sorrow stand round me on every hand; Heav’n is my fatherland, Heav’n is my home. What though the tempest rage, Heav’n is my home; Short is my pilgrimage, Heav’n is my home; Time’s cold and wild wintry blast soon shall be over past; I shall reach home at last, Heav’n is my home. There at my Savior’s side Heav’n is my home; I shall be glorified, Heav’n is my home. There are the good and blest, those I loved most and best; There, too, I soon shall rest, Heav’n is my home. Therefore I murmur not, Heav’n is my home; Whate’er my earthly lot, Heav’n is my home; And I shall surely stand there at my Lord’s right hand. Heav’n is my fatherland, Heav’n is my home.

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.

• [Heb 4:16] I Need Thee Every Hour

  I need Thee every hour, most gracious Lord; No tender voice like Thine can peace afford. Refrain I need Thee, O I need Thee; Every hour I need Thee; O bless me now, my Savior, I come to Thee. I need Thee every hour, stay Thou nearby; Temptations lose their power when Thou art nigh. Refrain I need Thee every hour, in joy or pain; Come quickly and abide, or life is in vain. Refrain I need Thee every hour; teach me Thy will; And Thy rich promises in me fulfill. Refrain I need Thee every hour, most Holy One; O make me Thine indeed, Thou blessèd Son. Refrain

• [Heb 4:16] They Who Seek The Throne Of Grace

  They who seek the throne of grace, Find that throne in every place; If we live a life of prayer, God is present everywhere. In our sickness or our health, In our want or in our wealth, If we look to God in prayer, God is present everywhere. When our earthly comforts fail, When the foes of life prevail, ’Tis the time for earnest prayer; God is present everywhere. Then, my soul, in every strait To thy Father come and wait; He will answer every prayer; God is present everywhere.
