We believe it was for us
And we surely must love Him,
We must trust in His redeeming love,
We bow our heads in grateful praise,
We will serve Him all our days,
|
| 4 Copeland | To God we owe our life and breath,
To Him we ever more should look;
That we may live in endless day.
|
| 5t Dear Friends, Farewell | But still we're joined in heart.
When we've been there ten thousand years,
We've no less days to sing God's praise
Than when we first begun.
|
| 5b Always Something New | Oh when we feel the pow'r of Christ,
All good in Him we view;
Nor need we ever change again,
|
| 6 Babel's Streams | By Babel's streams we sat and wept,
While Zion we thought on;
Amidst thereof we hung our harps,
|
| 7 Jehovah is My God | And will until we die.
|
| 10 Zion's Dove | From hill to hill we hear the sound,
On Zion's mountain we shall stand,
We'll shout, and loud hosannas raise.
|
| 11 Minister's Farewell | But still we're joined in heart.
For you and me, that we may be
|
| 15 My Consolation | His hand in ev'ry good we see,
We'll serve Him till we die.
|
| 17 Call to Arms | Arise and pray; we'll win the day,
Though we are few in number.
But as we fly, we'll always cry,
|
| 18 Praise Our Redeemer | Praise His holy name, and to Him we will bend;
We'll see Him coming and rise up to meet Him,
|
| 21 Webster | Sing till we feel our hearts
Soon shall we hear Him say,
|
| 23b Evening Hymn | O may we all remember well,
We lay our garments by,
Upon our beds we rest;
Of what we here possess.
May angels guard us while we sleep,
|
| 28t Mocksville | That we might be forgiv'n.
|
| 31b Time | And while we speak He's near;
|
| 33 Angel Choir | We'll meet the angels up above,
We'll all be filled with God's great love,
When we get home to heaven fair,
We'll all be glad and free;
We'll join the angels' heav'nly choir,
|
| 35t Lisbon | Here we may sit and see Him here;
|
| 35b Boylston | He knows we are but dust,
|
| 36b Albion | Come we that love the Lord,
Before we reach the heav'nly fields,
We're marching through Immanuel's ground,
|
| 38 God Is Our Refuge | We're safely kept by grace;
We have a resting place.
|
| 40t Mamie | The time will come when we must part
I pray we'll meet together there
Our singings here we love them well,
Oh, won't we have a good time there
|
| 40b Weeping Sinners | We are trav'lling home to God,
They are happy now, and we,
|
| 41t Mediation | He wept that we might weep,
|
| 45t Ila | How great we must be made;
But when we see our Saviour here,
We shall be like our Head.
|
| 46t The Hill of Zion | Before we reach the heav'nly fields,
We're marching through Immanuel's ground
|
| 51 Lonsdale | Come, we that love the Lord,
Before we reach the heav'nly fields,
We're marching thro' Immanuel's ground,
|
| 53 No Parting There | We pour our ardent pray'rs;
We share our mutual woes,
When we asunder part,
But we shall still be join'd in heart,
And sin, we shall be free;
|
| 58b Primrose | At hell's dark door we lay;
But we arise by grace divine
|
| 68 Bright Mansions | When we met dear papa there;
|
| 75 Sprague | They wrestled hard, as we do now,
|
| 77 How Beautiful Heaven Must Be | We read of a place that's called heaven,
|
| 78b New Britain | When we've been there ten thousand years,
We've no less days to sing God's praise
Than when we first begun.
|
| 81b Eternal Joys | We will ever abide,
|
| 84 Homeland | Then we'll join our blessed loved ones
And we'll sing to Him great praises,
Where we shall never die;
We will live in that blest homeland,
|
| 85 Mercy Seat | Ah! whither could we flee for aid,
There, there on eagle's wings we soar,
|
| 92 Promised Day | One family we dwell in Him,
To His command we bow;
|
| 93 Something New | Now, could we call all Europe ours,
|
| 96 Mighty Love | We have received by this bright theme
There we can dwell when time is done,
|
| 97 The Guiding Star | Till Him we fully know.
|
| 102 Missionary's Adieu | How shall we say “Farewell”?
And tender ties we know;
The sighs we breathe for precious souls,
|
| 111t Fleeting Days | We all begin to die.
|
| 112 Bush Hills | We know that all things work together for good to them that love the Lord
|
| 116 Floyd | We could not fly to Thee.
We never saw by day.
|
| 118 Campbell | We for His sake count all things loss,
Till we receive the crown.
Go on, we'll meet you there.
|
| 119 Weary Souls | We'll press to Canaan's shore.
We're often like the lonesome dove,
And should we never meet again
|
| 120 Home in the Sky | In that land we will need neither sun, nor the moon,
|
| 122 The Dying Boy | Hark! how they sing, “We welcome thee,
|
| 125t Endless Joy | Why should we start and fear to die?
What tim'rous worms we mortals are.
And yet we dread to enter there.
|
| 129 Coronation | We at His feet may fall;
We'll join the everlasting song,
|
| 130t Sacred Love | Lord, while for all mankind we pray,
The land we love the most.
Our country we commend;
|
| 130b Passing Away | We are passing away,
|
| 132 Musical Society | We'll set our key on flat or sharp,
We'll sing sole, law, sole, doe.
Then may we also take delight
And we'll unite both day and night,
We'll set our key on flat or sharp,
|
| 134 Liberty | Of tyranny we mourn;
|
| 143 Farther Along | Tempted and tried we're oft made to wonder
Farther along we'll know all about it,
Farther along we'll understand why;
We'll understand it all by and by.
Then do we wonder why others prosper,
As we sweep through the beautiful gate.
When we see Jesus coming in glory,
Then we shall meet Him in that bright mansion,
We'll understand it all by and by.
|
| 145b Fiducia | And are we still secure?
Then when we drop this dying flesh,
We'll rise above the skies.
|
| 146b Bangor | And are we still secure?
|
| 149 A Good Time Coming | Though we have our troubles in this world below,
We are pressing onward for we surely know
When we meet our loved ones in the sky;
|
| 154 Happy Time | Oh may we never part;
What heav'nly comforts shall we know
When round His throne we meet.
While here we sit and sing His love,
While in these songs we join;
We long to see the King;
We long to reach those heav'nly fields
|
| 157 Hallelujah | And we'll all sing hallelujah!
When we arrive at home.
|
| 158 The Land of Rest | Oh, could we make our doubts remove,
And see the Canaan that we love
|
| 161t Wells | We are His work, and not our own,
|
| 163b Burroughs | And if on earth we meet no more,
Oh may we meet on Canaan's shore.
That we may meet beyond the grave.
|
| 174t Prospect | Why should we start, and fear to die?
What tim'rous worms we mortals are!
And yet we dread to enter there.
Still we shrink back again to life,
|
| 176 Heavenly Treasures | We yearn for the treasures beyond the sky,
Where we shall never die;
With wings like eagles we'll upward fly
We'll sail away while this world burns,
To wear the crown we've earned.
Oh, praise the Lord we'll sing again together in the sky.
|
| 178 That Beautiful Land | We shall meet in that beautiful land.
We shall meet in that beautiful home on high,
|
| 182 A Happy Meeting | Some bright morning we shall drop our heavy load of care,
In that home so fair, so bright and fair, we'll shout and sing together,
We shall join them there to swell the praises of the Lamb of Calvary;
Heaven's gates will open wide, and we'll go marching in,
Oh, what rapture when we view the splendor of that holy, happy place;
We will leave behind us ev'ry doubter with his sin,
|
| 184 Where We'll Never Grow Old | There we never shall die,
'Tis a land where we never grow old.
Where we'll never grow old,
In a land where we'll never grow old.
Where we'll never more roam,
We shall be in the sweet by and by,
'Tis a land where we never shall die.
|
| 189 One by One | We are trav'lling to a better land,
One by one we'll all be gathered home;
And we'll trust the Saviour's guiding hand,
One by one we'll all be gathered home;
One by one we'll all be gathered home.
We are drawing nearer ev'ry day,
One by one we'll all be gathered home;
One by one we'll all be gathered home;
There we'll meet our loved ones gone before:
One by one we'll all be gathered home;
And we'll dwell with Jesus ever more,
One by one we'll all be gathered home.
One by one we'll all be gathered home;
One by one we'll all be gathered home.
|
| 190 Salutation | We soon shall cease from toiling
To Canaan's coast we'll hasten,
By faith we see Him too,
We smile, and weep, and praise Him,
We're willing to sustain,
We're filled as with new wine,
We die to transient pleasures,
We sink in holy raptures,
|
| 192 The Penitent | The gratitude we owe
|
| 195 Garden | In pastures of delight we feed;
|
| 197 The Living Vine | We yield to Thee, O Lord.
|
| 200 Parting Hand | Yet we must take the parting hand.
Yet when I see that we must part,
Since we have met to sing and pray;
How loath we are to leave the place
That we must take the parting hand.
We must be parted for a while,
We'll say, our Father's will be done.
Fight on, we'll gain that happy shore,
Which makes me hope we'll meet again.
We'll no more take the parting hand.
And if on earth we meet no more,
O may we meet on Canaan's shore.
That we may meet beyond the grave.
We'll no more take the parting hand.
We'll shout and sing with one accord;
And there we'll all with Jesus dwell,
|
| 202 Immensity | There is a world we have not seen,
|
| 203 Cumberland | Since we are of one mind and heart;
Parting with joy, we'll join and sing
Nor e'en when we are cold in death.
|
| 204t What a Day | When we walk down those golden streets;
There we'll sing with friends we love,
And we'll live with Him above.
|
| 209 The Lord's Supper | Jesus, Thy feast we celebrate,
We show Thy death, we sing Thy name,
Till Thou return, and we shall eat
|
| 210t Old Hundred | For we our voices high should raise,
When our salvation's rock we praise.
|
| 212 Christian Prospect | We have our trials here below,
And we'll all cross over Jordan,
|
| 218b Harmony | Sweetest pleasures while we live;
Solid comfort when we die.
|
| 220 Over the Sea | We hear them from Europe and Egypt's climes,
To give an account of the love we showed
|
| 222b St. Louis | Christian brethren, ere we part,
Though we here should meet no more,
There we all may meet again.
|
| 226b Haws | What melod'ous sounds we hear,
|
| 231 Indian's Farewell | When shall we all meet again?
When shall we all meet again?
Ere we all shall meet again.
Though in distant lands we sigh,
Oft shall we all meet again.
Ere we all shall meet again.
|
| 234 The Singing Christian | We sweetly then pursue
We cheerfully can say,
|
| 236t Pacolet | Since we have seen his beauty,
|
| 240 Morning Light | Before the God we love,
|
| 250t Realms of the Blest | We speak of the realms of the blest,
We speak of its freedom from sin,
We speak of its service of love,
|
| 257 Jubilee | Now we have an invitation,
We shall all receive a blessing,
If from Him we do not stray;
Golden moments we've neglected,
|
| 262 Collins | O hearken sinners! we have come
We pray be reconciled to Him
We bring glad tidings unto you,
|
| 263 Autumn | When in dev'ous paths we stray,
We awake among the blest.
|
| 264 Harwell | When we think of love like Thine,
Lord, we own it love divine.
Then with golden harps we'll sing,
|
| 266 Chrystler's Field | Arise and pray; we'll win the day,
Though we are few in number.
To God we'll cry, and hell defy,
With such we are delighted;
With them we crowd and sing so loud,
And say that we are dancing.
If we but smile some say we're wild,
If souls are born, we bear the scorn;
For Jesus' name we'll bear the blame,
But as we fly, we'll always cry
|
| 267 Louisiana | Come, little children, now we may
It is by little steps we move
|
| 268 Come Ye to the Waters | We bring glad tidings unto you,
|
| 269b Invocation | May we all return home praying,
Till we all shall meet again.
Since together we have been,
|
| 271 The Mouldering Vine (First) | We are like to one of these.
|
| 273 Sing His Praise | By faith we mount the upper skies,
|
| 274 Mother Tell Me of the Angels | O how sweetly we would play.
Yes, I know that we shall greet him
There we'll part again, O never;
We shall live together ever,
|
| 279 Lecil | O we have lost a precious flow'r,
In death he had no fear, we know,
Where we shall never part.
That voice we loved is stilled;
|
| 282 Friendship | Only in friendship can we find
|
| 283 Willowby | For whom we now lift up our voice,
Vouchsafe the grace we humbly claim;
While in the heav'nly work we join,
|
| 285 Farewell Brother | Sad we gave thee to the number
From the shad'wy land we dread;
Farewell brother, soon we'll meet thee
|
| 289 Happy Land | Oh we shall happy be,
Lord, we shall live with Thee,
We'll reign for aye.
|
| 290 Amity | We haste to Zion's hill,
|
| 302 Olivers | We worship Thee.”
|
| 306 Middlebury | We have laid up our love
While His grace we receive
For the glory we were
We with thanks do approve
Till we meet at the feast of the Lamb.
We shall all likewise meet
We shall sing to our lyres,
Hallelujah we sing,
|
| 308 The Happy Time | O may we never part.
What heav'nly comforts shall we know,
When round His throne we meet.
While here we sit and sing His love,
While in these songs we join.
We long to see the King,
We long to reach those heav'nly fields,
|
| 309 Singing School | O God, we humbly pray Thee,
We all may faithful prove,
|
| 310t Our Journey Home | We shall see the light appear, by and by, when He comes,
We shall see the light appear, when He comes.
We are on our journey home,
We shall see Him as He is, by and by, when He comes,
We shall see Him as He is, when He comes.
We shall all with Christ appear, by and by, when He comes,
We shall all with Christ appear, when He comes.
We shall have a mighty shout, by and by, when He comes,
We shall have a mighty shout, when He comes.
|
| 311 Elysian | Lo, we lift our longing eyes,
Join we too their holy lays,
|
| 315 David's Victory | We the living Lord adore.
|
| 320 Longing for the Day | We must keep on pressing the battle here,
We know the sweet day is very near;
Will you pray, my brother, that we may meet,
|
| 322 Among that Band | We have our troubles here,
|
| 323 Holy Manna | Brethren, we have met to worship,
While we try to preach the Word?
At His table we'll sit down;
|
| 324 Fair Fields of Eden | Loudly swell the heav'nly chorus,
|
| 328 Mercy's Free | And when to Jordan's bank we come,
We'll sing when safely landed home,
|
| 330 Fulfillment | We warn you in the name of Jesus,
|
| 331 A Home in Heaven | We are happy still with our home in Heav'n –
We wait in hope on the promise giv'n,
That we'll meet up there in our home in Heav'n –
That we'll meet up there in our home in Heav'n.
|
| 332 Babylonian Captivity | The tuneless harp that once with joy we strung,
|
| 336t Sweet Harmony | We two are so joined,
In heaven we'll meet
We'll then be complete.
|
| 342 Blest Morn | Vainly we offer each ample oblation,
Vainly with gold we His favor secure;
|
| 344 Morality | Let's live so in youth that we blush not in age.
|
| 345 The Shepherd's Star | Say shall we yield Him in costly devotion,
Vainly we offer each ample oblation,
Vainly with gold we His favor secure;
Low at His feet we in humble prostration,
There we receive His divine consolation,
|
| 348 We've a Mansion in Heaven | We've a mansion in heaven that knows no decay.
A city of light, where we freely may roam,
We've a mansion in heaven, the saints happy home.
Oh, why should we murmur and grieve here below,
When it's only a moment of suff'ring we know.
|
| 349 Redemption (First) | Oh! His blood was shed that we might live
When He paid the debt we could not pay
|
| 355 Homeward Bound | Out on an ocean all boundless we ride,
We're homeward bound.
We're homeward bound.
Far from the safe quiet harbor we've rode,
We're homeward bound.
We're homeward bound.
We're homeward bound.
Steady, we soon shall outweather the gale,
Oh how we fly 'neath the loud creaking sail,
We're homeward bound.
We'll tell the world as we journey along,
We're homeward bound.
We're homeward bound.
We're homeward bound.
Into the harbor of heav'n we now glide,
We're homeward bound.
Softly we drift on its bright silver tide,
We're homeward bound.
We stand secure on the glorified shore;
Glory to God: we will shout evermore,
We're home at last.
|
| 358 O Come, Come Away | 'Tis there we meet to sing and pray,
|
| 368b Sweetest Pleasure | Sweetest pleasures while we live;
Solid comfort when we die.
|
| 382 How Sweet the Sound | When we've been there ten thousand years,
We've no less days to sing God's praise,
than when we first begun.
|
| 383 Azmon | We wretched sinners lay,
|
| 384 Lord I'm Depending on You | Down here below, we have our woe,
We are trying, Lord, to live rightly in this sorrow land;
|
| 389 Crown of Victory | And shall we, in dismay,
|
| 391 Glad Tidings | When we join in worship and tell of His name;
|
| 393b China | Why should we mourn departing friends?
Are we not tending upward too
Nor should we wish the hours more slow
Why should we tremble to convey
|
| 398t St. Thomas | Oh join the praise we sing!
|
| 399t Lockport | Come, we who love the Lord,
|
| 400t Christian Love | We pour our ardent pray'rs;
We share our mutual woes,
|
| 401t Tillotson | We never plead in vain,
Yet we must wait till He appears
Why should we longer wait?
|
| 401b Euphrates | We are not far from home,
We ev'ry moment come.
|
| 402b Kelso | Above the ground we tread,
|
| 403b Silver Street | We are His works and not our own,
|
| 406 Luther | We are not far from home;
We ev'ry moment come.
|
| 410t Weeping Saviour | He wept that we might weep,
|
| 412b Colchester | At Salem's courts we must appear,
|
| 415t Nazareth | We bring them, Lord, in thankful hands,
Joyful that we ourselves are Thine,
|
| 416t Fragrance | We love to hear of Thee;
While here on earth we stay;
We'll sing our Jesus' lovely name,
When we appear in yonder cloud,
Then will we sing more sweet, more loud,
|
| 418t Chimes | With joy we hail the sacred day
With joy the summons we obey,
|
| 418b Union Vale | Look how we grovel here below,
In vain we tune our formal songs,
In vain we strive to rise;
|
| 425t Exchange | Let us receive the word we hear,
|
| 432b Fish Pond | Yet we are born to care and woes
|
| 433 New Haven | While here on earth we stay,
We more than taste the heav'nly pow'rs,
We feel the resurrection near,
To grasp the God we seek!
|
| 435 Shenley | At Salem's courts we must appear,
Oh pray we then for Salem's peace,
|
| 436b It Is I | When we grow weary on our way,
And when we come to die, He'll say,
|
| 438 The Mouldering Vine (Second) | We are like to one of these.
|
| 446 Damascus | Naught we can ask to make us blessed
Oh may we search with eager pains,
Assured that we shall find!
|
| 448t Suffield | A span is all that we can boast;
|
| 448b Coleshill | Thee we adore, Eternal Name,
What dying worms are we.
Whate'er we do, where'er we be,
We're trav'lling to the grave.
|
| 453t De Beza | It's He that made us, and not we,
|
| 459b Refuge | Ere we can offer our complaints,
|
| 466 The Mercy-Seat | Ah! wither could we flee for aid,
|
| 467b Uxbridge | We read Thy name in fairer lines.
|
| 472t Sunset | Why should we start, and fear to die?
What tim'rous worms we mortals are!
And yet we dread to enter there.
|
| 472b Cleaveland | And when, like wand'ring sheep we strayed,
We are His people, we His care;
What lasting honors shall we rear,
|
| 473 Bartholday | Once we were fall'n, and oh how low
|
| 476t Effingham | Where we His awful glories sing.
|
| 481 Holden | Great God, we sing that mighty hand,
By which supported still we stand:
Still we are guarded by our God;
With grateful hearts the past we own;
We to Thy guardian care commit,
|
| 483 Burroughs (New) | That we from God may not depart.
That we must take to dwell with God;
|
| 485 Quito | But when our Father's house we gain,
And what is all we suffer now,
Or all we can endure below,
|
| 486t Retreat | There, there, on eagle's wings we soar,
|
| 495 The Sailor's Home | When for eternal worlds we steer,
We're safe at last, we're safe at last.
And loud her hallelujahs sing, We're safe at last.
|
| 496t Wilmot | Purer praise we hope to bring,
When around Thy throne we sing.
Till we come to dwell with Thee,
Till we all Thy glory see.
|
| 497t Acton | Sing we then eternal love,
|

|
| 500t Harts | Whom believingly we claim,
Whom we ask in Jesus' name.
|
| 500b Inley | We soon shall recover our home;
From earth we shall quickly remove,
|
| 503 Invocation (New) | O may we feel Thy pow'r,
O may we find Thy favor,
|
| 504 Missionary Hymn | Shall we, whose souls are lighted
Shall we, to men benighted,
|
| 506 Dying Love | Bread of heav'n, on Thee we feed,
To Thy cross we look and live.
|
| 507t Union | Where Jesus is gone we shall be,
|
| 508 Heavenly Rest | Oh, when shall we sweetly remove,
Oh, when shall we dwell with our King,
Resigned to the burden we bear,
But Thou, whom we hasten to meet,
|
| 509t Break of Day | We have spent a night of waking,
Part we here at break of day.
|
| 509b The Good Shepherd | We've been sinners from our youth;
On Thy gospel word we'll venture,
Till in death's cold arms we sleep,
|
| 511 Farewell | We'll conquer the powers of darkness and sin;
Through grace and the Spirit we'll glory inherit,
We have trials, and cares, and hardships and losses,
But heaven will pay us for all that we bear;
We'll soon end in pleasures and glory forever,
And bright crowns of glory for ever we'll wear.
O brethren, in sweet gales now we are all breezing,
|
| 524 When Shall We Meet Again? | When shall we meet again?
May we all there unite,
|
| 529 Worship | Jesus with joy we witness,
Our Saviour Thou, we find it now,
We sing Thine arm unshortened,
We triumph in Thy favor,
And for the love which now we prove,
|
| 530 Urmund | That we with Thee may ever reign
|
| 546b Oak Grove | And fairer days we soon shall see.
|
| 548 Macedonia | We still are one in heart.
Where He appoints we go,
We all are one who Him receive,
In Him the One, the Truth, we live;
|
| 549t The Christian's Farewell | That we must be parted from this social band;
Our parting is needful, and we must obey.
|
