Hebrews 12:14

• [Heb 12:14] More Holiness Give Me

  More holiness give me, more strivings within. More patience in suffering, more sorrow for sin. More faith in my Savior, more sense of His care. More joy in His service, more purpose in prayer. More gratitude give me, more trust in the Lord. More zeal for His glory, more hope in His Word. More tears for His sorrows, more pain at His grief. More meekness in trial, more praise for relief. More purity give me, more strength to o’ercome, More freedom from earth-stains, more longings for home. More fit for the kingdom, more useful I’d be, More blessèd and holy, more, Savior, like Thee.

Hebrews 13:14

• [Heb 13:14] Brief Life Is Here Our Portion

  Brief life is here our portion; Brief sorrow, short lived care; The life that knows no ending, The tearless life, is there. O happy retribution! Short toil, eternal rest; For mortals and for sinners A mansion with the blest! And martyrdom hath roses Upon that heavenly ground, And white and virgin lilies For virgin-souls abound. There grief is turned to pleasure; Such pleasure as below No human voice can utter, No human heart can know. And after fleshly weakness, And after this world’s night, And after storm and whirlwind, Are calm, and joy, and light. And now we fight the battle, But then shall wear the crown Of full and everlasting And passionless renown. And He, whom now we trust in, Shall then be seen and known; And they that know and see Him Shall have Him for their own. And now we watch and struggle, And now we live in hope, And Zion in her anguish With Babylon must cope. But there is David’s fountain, And life in fullest glow; And there the light is golden, And milk and honey flow. The morning shall awaken, The shadows flee away, And each true hearted servant Shall shine as doth the day. There God, our King and Portion, In fullness of His grace, We then shall see forever, And worship face to face. O sweet and blessèd country, The home of God’s elect! O sweet and blessèd country, That eager hearts expect! Jesu, in mercy bring us, To that dear land of rest; Who art, with God the Father, And Spirit, ever blest.
