[scenes 4 There happier bowers than Eden's bloom, 5 Apostles, martyrs, prophets, there, And soon my friends in Christ, below, 6 Jerusalem, my happy home, My soul still pants for thee; Then shall my labors have an end, When I thy joys shall see. Unknown. Williams and Boden's Collection, 1801. Ab. 704 "O Mother dear, Jerusalem." I O MOTHER dear, Jerusalem, When shall I come to thee? When shall my sorrows have an end? 2 O happy harbor of God's saints, 3 No dimming cloud o'ershadows thee, 706 The Saints marching up. 2 What rush of hallelujahs Fills all the earth and sky; And all its tribes were made; BEULAH. 7. D. 3 O then what raptured greetings Then eyes with joy shall sparkle, Rev. Henry Alford (1810-1871), 1866. Inah Melody. Arr. by ELAM IVES, Jr. (1802-1864), 1846. 8: 1. PALMS of glo- ry, raiment bright, Crowns that never fade away, Gird and deck the saints in light, D.S.-And proclaim, in joy-ful psalms, Priests,and kings,and conqu'rors they. Yet the conqu'rors bring their palms To the Lamb a-midst the throne, Vic- t'ry through His cross a- - lone. 2 Kings for harps their crowns resign, Crying, as they strike the chords, "Take the kingdom, it is Thine, King of kings, and Lord of lords." Round the altar, priests confess, If their robes are white as snow, 'Twas the Saviour's righteousness, And His blood, that made them so. 3 Who were these?-On earth they dwelt, But were saved by sovereign grace. Ah, when we, like them, shall die, James Montgomery (1771-1854), 1829. I SEE the ransomed millions stand, 2 Hasten, Lord, the promised hour; Time has nearly reached its sum; Josiah Conder (1789-1855), 1836. SAFE HOME. H. M. Sir ARTHUR SULLIVAN (1842 ), 1872. I. SAFE home, safe home in port! Rent cord-age, shatter'd deck, Torn sails, pro- vis- ions short, And on not a wreck: But, O! the joy up on ly 2 There is a home for weary souls And all is drear but Heaven. 3 There, faith lifts up her cheerful eye, 4 There, fragrant flowers, immortal, bloom, Rev. William Bingham Tappan (1794-1849), 1818. Ab. Arr. by SAMUEL SEBASTIAN WESLEY (1810–1876), 1. WHAT are these in bright ar - ray, This in nu mer a ble throng, Round the altar, night and day, Hymn -ing one triumph-ant song? "Worthy is the Lamb, once slain, Bless-ing, honor, glory, pow'r; Wisdom, rich - es, to obtain, New do- min-ion ev'ry hour." 712 The Song of the Sealed. REV. vii. 9-16. 2 These through fiery trials trod; These from great afflictions came; Now, before the throne of God, Sealed with His almighty Name; Clad in raiment pure and white, Victor-palms in every hand, Through their dear Redeemer's might, More than conquerors they stand. 3 Hunger, thirst, disease, unknown, James Montgomery (1771—1854), 1819, 1853 |
