John 14:2-3

• [Joh 14:2] Far, Far Away

  Far, far away, there’s a many-mansioned dwelling, Where the Savior waits to welcome the dear souls for whom He died; All across the darksome valley, I can hear their anthems swelling, And amid the golden glory I can see them by His side. In the home so far away. Far, far away, there’s a haven deep and quiet, Where the noiseless waves lie sleeping on the mountain-sheltered shore, Where the surges never enter, where no stormy tempests riot, Where the sails are furled forever and the ship goes out no more, From the haven far away. Onward I travel, in gladness or in sorrow, Across these trackless waters, with His love to cheer me through; And as every sunset closes, I can fancy that the morrow Will fire the heav’nly mountains, with the haven full in view And no longer far away.

• [Joh 14:2] Golden Gates Are Lifted Up, The

  The golden gates are lifted up, The doors are opened wide; The King of Glory is gone in Unto His Father’s side. Thou art gone up before us, Lord, To make for us a place, That we may be where now Thou art, And look upon God’s face. And ever on our earthly path A gleam of glory lies, A light still breaks behind the cloud That veiled Thee from our eyes. Lift up our hearts, lift up our minds: Let Thy dear grace be giv’n; That, while we wander here below, Our treasure be in Heav’n. That where Thou art, at God’s right hand, Our hope, our love, may be: Dwell Thou in us, that we may dwell Forevermore in Thee.

• [Joh 14:2] Home At Last (crozier)

  “Home at last” on heav’nly mountains, Heard the “Come and enter in”; Saved by life’s fair flowing fountains, Saved from earthly taint and sin. Refrain “Home, sweet home,” our home forever; All the pilgrim journey past; Welcomed home to wander never, Saved through Jesus—“Home at last.” Free at last from all temptation, No more need of watchful care; Joyful in complete salvation, Giv’n the victor’s crown to wear. Refrain Saved to greet on hills of glory Loved ones we have missed so long; Saved to tell the sinner’s story, Saved to sing redemption’s song. Refrain Welcomed at the pearly portal, Ever more a welcome guest; Welcomed to the life immortal, In the mansions of the blest. Refrain

  O think of the home over there, By the side of the river of light, Where the saints, all immortal and fair, Are robed in their garments of light. Over there, over there, O think of the home over there, Over there, over there, O think of the home over there. O think of the friends over there, Who before us the journey have trod, Of the songs that they breathe on the air, In their home in the palace of God. Over there, over there, O think of the friends over there, Over there, over there, O think of the friends over there. My Savior is now over there, There my kindred and friends are at rest, Then away from my sorrow and care, Let me fly to the land of the blest. Over there, over there, My Savior is now over there, Over there, over there, My Savior is now over there. I’ll soon be at home over there, For the end of my journey I see; Many dear to my heart, over there, Are watching and waiting for me. Over there, over there, I’ll soon be at home over there, Over there, over there, I’ll soon be at home over there.

  The Homeland! O the Homeland! The land of souls free born! No gloomy night is known there, but only fadeless morn: I’m sighing for that country, my heart is aching here; There is no pain in the Homeland to which I’m drawing near. My Lord is in the Homeland, with angels bright and fair; No sinful thing nor evil, can ever enter there; The music of the ransomed is ringing in my ears, And when I think of the Homeland, my eyes are wet with tears. For loved ones in the Homeland are waiting me to come, Where neither death nor sorrow invades their holy home: O dear, dear native country! O rest and peace above! Christ bring us all to the Homeland, of His eternal love.

  We sing of a land where the servants of God Shall meet when their journey is o’er, And clasp their glad hands as they gather at morn, To labor and sorrow no more. Refrain We sing of the beautiful mansions of rest Our Savior has gone to prepare; And oh, when we think of the bliss they unfold, In spirit, how oft we are there. We sing of a land where the leaves never fall, A land where their bloom never dies; And Jesus Himself, with His own loving hand, Will wipe every tear from our eyes. Refrain We sing of the palms that the conquerors wave, Who triumphed through Jesus our Lord; Who fought to the last, and with shouts on their tongues, Went home to receive their reward. Refrain We sing of the friends who are waiting today For us in that region so fair; But who can describe what a joy it will be To know that indeed we are there? Refrain

• [Joh 14:2] One Sweetly Solemn Thought

  One sweetly solemn thought Comes to me o’er and o’er; Nearer to my home today am I Than e’er I’ve been before. Nearer my Father’s house, Where many mansions be; Nearer today, the great white throne, Nearer the crystal sea. Nearer the bound of life Where burdens are laid down; Nearer to leave the heavy cross, Nearer to gain the crown. But lying darkly between, Winding down through the night, Is the deep and unknown stream To be crossed ere we reach the light. Closer and closer my steps Come to the dread abysm, Closer death to my lips Presses the awful chrism. Feel as I would my feet, Are slipping over the brink; For it may be, I'm nearer home— Nearer now than I think. Father, perfect my trust! Strengthen my power of faith! Nor let me stand, at last, alone Upon the shore of death. Be Thee near when my feet Are slipping over the brink; For it may be I’m nearer home, Nearer now than I think.

  Our Father’s home eternal, O Christ, Thou dost prepare With many divers mansions, And each one passing fair; They are the victors’ guerdon, Who, through the hard-won fight, Have followed in Thy footsteps, And reign with Thee in light. Amidst the happy number The virgins’ crown and queen, The ever-virgin mother Is first and foremost seen; The patriarchs in their triumph Thy praises nobly sing; The prophets of Thy wisdom Adore the nations’ King. Th’apostles reign in glory, The martyrs joy in Thee; The virgins and confessors Thy shining brightness see; And every patient sufferer, Who sorrow dared contemn, For each especial anguish Hath one especial gem. The holy men and women, Their earthly struggle o’er, With joy put off the armor That they shall need no more; For these, and all that battled Beneath their Monarch’s eyes, The harder was the conflict, The brighter is the prize. And every faithful servant Made perfect in Thy grace, Hath each his fitting station ’Mid those that see Thy face; The bondsman and the noble, The peasant and the king, All gird one glorious Monarch In one eternal ring.

  Rise, my soul, and stretch thy wings, thy better portion trace; Rise from transitory things, toward Heaven, thy native place: Sun and moon and stars decay, time shall soon this earth remove; Rise, my soul, and haste away to seats prepared above. Rivers to the ocean run, nor stay in all their course; Fire ascending seeks the sun; both speed them to their source: So my soul, that’s born of God, pants to view His glorious face, Upward tends to His abode, to rest in His embrace. Fly me riches, fly me cares, whilst I that coast explore; Flattering world, with all thy snares, solicit me no more. Pilgrims fix not here their home; strangers tarry but a night; When the last dear morn is come, they’ll rise to joyful light. Cease, ye pilgrims, cease to mourn, press onward to the prize; Soon thy Savior will return, triumphant in the skies: Yet a season, and you know happy entrance will be given All our sorrows left below, and earth exchanged for Heaven.

  Upward where the stars are burning, Silent, silent in their turning Round the never changing pole; Upward where the sky is brightest, Upward where the blue is lightest, Lift I now my longing soul. Far above that arch of gladness, Far beyond these clouds of sadness, Are the many mansions fair. Far from pain and sin and folly, In that palace of the holy, I would find my mansion there. Where the glory brightly dwelleth, Where the new song sweetly swelleth, And the discord never comes; Where life’s stream is ever laving, And the palm is ever waving, That must be the home of homes. Where the Lamb on high is seated, By ten thousand voices greeted, Lord of lords, and King of kings. Son of Man, they crown, they crown Him, Son of God, they own, they own Him; With His Name the palace rings. Blessing, honor, without measure, Heavenly riches, earthly treasure, Lay we at His blessèd feet: Poor the praise that now we render, Loud shall be our voices yonder, When before His throne we meet.
