Wayfarers.

1 My days are giding swiftly by,
And I, a pilgrim stranger,
Would not detain them as they fly,
Those hours of toil and danger:
CHORUS.

For, Oh! we stand on Jordan's strand;
Our friends are passing over;
And, just before, the shining shore
We may almost discover.

2 We'll gird cur loins, my brethren dear!
Our heavenly home discerning;
Our absent Lord has left us word,-
"Let every lamp be burning:
CHORUS.-For, Oh! we stand, etc.

3 Should coming days be cold and dark,
We need not cease our singing;
That perfect rest nought can molest,
Where golden harps are ringing:
CHORUS.-For, Oh! we stand, etc.
4 Let sorrow's rudest tempest blow,

Each cord on earth to sever;

Our King says, "Come!"-and there's For ever, Oh! for ever! [our home, CHORUS.-For, Oh! we stand, etc.

David Nelson, 1835.

1 WAYFARERS in the wilderness,
By morn, and noon, and even,
Day after day, we journey on,
With weary feet towards heaven:
CHORUS.

O land above! O land of love!
The glory shineth o'er thee;
O Christ, our King! in mercy bring
Us thither, we implore thee!

2 By day the cloud before us goes,
By night the cloud of fire,

To guide us o'er the trackless waste,
To Canaan ever nigher:
CHORUS. O land above! etc.

3 Each morning find we, as he said,
The dew of daily manna;
And ever, when a foe appears,

Confronts him Christ, our Banner:
CHORUS. O land above! etc.

NEARER HOME,

2:2

1 ONE Sweetly solemn thought Comes to me o'er and o'er ; I'm nearer home to-day

Than e'er I 've been before : 2 Nearer my Father's house,

Where the blest mansions be;
Nearer the great white throne,
Nearer the crystal sea;

3 Nearer the bound where we
Must lay our burdens down;
Nearer to leave the cross,
Nearer to gain the crown.
4 The waves of that deep sea
Roll dark before my sight,
But break, the other side,
Upon a shore of light.

5 Oh! if my mortal feet

Have almost gained the brink, If I am nearer home

To-day than e'en I think :

6 Father! perfect my trust,

That I may rest, in death,
On Christ, my Lord, alone,

And thus resign my breath.

Phoebe Cary, 1352,-a.

The Heavenly Home.
1 THERE is a blessed home
Beyond this land of woe,
Where trials never come,

Nor tears of sorrow flow:
2 Where faith is lost in sight,
And patient hope is crowned,
And everlasting light

Its glory throws around. 3 Oh! joy all joys beyond,

To see the Lamb who died, And count each sacred wound In hands, and feet, and side! 4 To give to him the praise

Of every triumph won, And sing, through endless days, The great things he hath done! 5 Look up, ye raints of God! Nor fear to tread below The path, your Saviour trod, Of daily toil and woe.

C Wait but a little while,

In uncomplaining love;
His own most gracious smile
Shall welcome you above.

(1462.)

Henry W. Baker, 1362.

J. W. Dadmun, 1860.

1 IN THE Christian's home in glory,
There remains a land of rest;
There my Saviour 's gone before mc,
To fulfill my soul's request.

There is rest for the weary,
There is rest for you,
On the other side of Jordan,
In the sweet fields of Eden,
Where the tree of life is blooming,
There is rest for you.

2 He is fitting up my mansion,
Which eternally shall stand,
For my stay shall not be transient,
In the holy, happy land.

3 Pain and sickness ne'er shall enter, Grief nor woe my lot shall share; But, in that celestial centre,

I a crown of life shall wear,

(1463.

752.

4 Death itself shall then be vanquished,
And his sting shall be withdrawn:
Shout for gladness, O ye rausomed!
Hail with joy the rising morn.
5 Sing, Oh! sing, ye heirs of glory!
Shout your triumph as you go;
Zion's gate will open for you,
You shall find an entrance through.
William Hunter, 1857.

The Saints in Glory.

1 HARK! the sound of holy voices, Chanting at the crystal sea,Alleluia! alleluia !

Alleluia! Lord! to thee.

2 Multitude, which none can number, Like the stars in glory stand, Clothed in white apparel, holding Palms of victory in their hands.

(1464.)

3 They have come from tribulation, And have washed their robes in blood, Washed them in the blood of Jesus;

Tried they were, and firm they stood.
4 Gladly, Lord! with thee they suffered;
Gladly, Lord! with thee they died,
And, by death, to life immortal
They were born and glorified.

5 Now they reign in heavenly glory,
Now they walk in golden light,
Now they drink, as from a river,
Holy bliss and infinite.

6 Love and peace they taste for ever,
And all truth and knowledge see
In the beatific vision

Of the blessed Trinity.
