[Isa 25:4] Resting In You
In the eye of the hurricane, I find peace in the storm.
By trusting in You, Lord, my soul is reborn.
Like a child in Your arms, safe and warm against the night,
You will bear me through the darkness, surrounded by Your light.Refrain
Resting in You, Lord, safe in Your arms,
Resting in You, Lord, I am safe in Your arms.Refrain

When my burdens grow heavy, and I bend beneath the load,
Then Your strength will help me down the long, dusty road.
All my trials and tribulations, they can only make me strong.
For You lift my soul with gladness, and fill my heart with song.Refrain

[Isa 25:8] Gentle Shepherd, Thou Hast Stilled
Gentle Shepherd, Thou hast stilled
Now Thy little lamb’s brief weeping;
Ah, how peaceful, pale and mild,
In its narrow bed ’tis sleeping,
And no sigh of anguish sore
Heaves that little bosom more.In this world of care and pain,
Lord, Thou wouldst no longer leave it;
To the sunny, heavenly plain
Thou dost now with joy receive it;
Clothed in robes of spotless white,
Now it dwells with Thee in light.Ah, Lord Jesus, grant that we
Where it lives may soon be living,
And the lovely pastures see
That its heavenly food are giving;
Then the gain of death we prove,
Though Thou take what most we love.God, we thank Thee; not in vain
Lived our friend in Thee believing;
Not for him can we be grieving:
Ours the loss, but his the gain.
Ours the vanity of sorrow,
His the vision from the height;
His today, and ours tomorrow,
Change and awe and love and light.What Thou doest, Lord, is good:
Though his body now is sleeping,
Lives his spirit in Thy keeping,
Pain and sorrow understood.
Grant him rest among the living,
Bring him to Thy vision clear,
All his sin in love forgiving
When as Judge Thou dost appear.Play source: Cyberhymnal -

Hail, mighty Victor! Behold He comes from out the grave.
Shout, shout His triumph! Oh, tell abroad His power to save.
Sing, sing with gladness, proclaim the news o’er land and sea:
He reigns forever, great Ruler over all is He.Shout His praise, for us He came to die.

Oh! that men would bless and praise His holy Name,
Would praise His holy Name.[Repeat last stanza]

[Isa 25:8] No Tears In Heaven
Our youth is transient like a flower,
That blooms, and fades, and dies;
Our life is but a summer cloud,
And like a shadow flies;
Then let us heed the warning voice—
Today its call we hear,
It speaks in deep and solemn tones,
That come from yonder bier.The angel messenger of death,
Has gently borne away,
A dear companion from our side,
To realms of endless day;
Her voice no more will join with ours
The song of praise below,
It wakes a purer, sweeter strain,
Where only pleasures flow.When gathered on the Sabbath morn,
Her vacant place we view,
We’ll think how bright the world she treads,
And in her steps pursue;
Be still, let every heart be still,
And all our sorrow quell,
We’ll bow submissive to His will,
Who doeth all things well.Play source: Cyberhymnal -
[Isa 25:8] O Thou Who Driest The Mourner’s Tear
O Thou who driest the mourner’s tear,
How dark this world would be,
If, when deceived and wounded here,
We could not fly to Thee!The friends who in our sunshine live,
When winter comes are flown;
And he who has but tears to give,
Must weep those tears alone.But Thou wilt heal that broken heart,
Which, like the plants that throw
Their fragrance from the wounded part,
Breathes sweetness out of woe.When joy no longer soothes or cheers,
And e’en the hope that threw
A moment’s sparkle o’er our tears
Is dimmed and vanished too—O who could bear life’s stormy doom,
Did not Thy wing of love
Come brightly wafting through the gloom
Our peace-branch from above?Then sorrow, touched by Thee, grows bright,
With more than rapture’s ray;
As darkness shows us worlds of light
We never saw by day.Play source: Cyberhymnal -
[Isa 25:8] Sometime We’ll Understand
Not now, but in the coming years,
It may be in the better land,
We’ll read the meaning of our tears,
And there, some time, we’ll understand.Then trust in God through all the days;
Fear not, for He doth hold thy hand;
Though dark thy way, still sing and praise,
Some time, some time we’ll understand.We’ll catch the broken thread again,
And finish what we here began;
Heav’n will the mysteries explain,
And then, ah then, we’ll understand.Refrain
We’ll know why clouds instead of sun
Were over many a cherished plan;
Why song has ceased when scarce begun;
’Tis there, some time, we’ll understand.Refrain

Some time with tearless eyes we’ll see;
Yes, there, up there, we’ll understand.Refrain

Hear sweet voices from above,
Fill thy hands and go with love,
To the weary as they wait, so late;
In the name of Christ your King,
Go and sweetly, sweetly sing,
Go and wipe their tears away, and pray.Refrain
Happy voices ev’rywhere
Are like angels in the air.
’Twas for this that Jesus came,
There is music in His Name,
In the work He calleth you, be true.Cups of water ye may bear,
And bring answer to your prayer;
Jesus led the multitude with good.
How the blind with opened eyes
Looked on Him with glad surprise!
Love may fix the eyes long dim on Him.Refrain

Jesus comes to bless you now;
What you do for love is best confessed.
Go as Jesus went to them;
You may find perchance a gem,
Long to sparkle in His sight in light.Refrain

[Isa 25:8] There’s No Disappointment In Heaven
There’s no disappointment in Heaven,

No song with a minor refrain.
The clouds of our earthly horizon
Will never appear in the sky,
For all will be sunshine and gladness,
With never a sob or a sigh.Refrain
I’m bound for that beautiful city,
My Lord has prepared for His own;
Where all the redeemed of all ages
Sing “Glory!” around the white throne;
Sometimes I grow homesick for Heaven,
And the glories I there shall behold;

In that beautiful city of gold.We’ll never pay rent for our mansion,
The taxes will never come due,
Our garments will never grow threadbare,
But always be fadeless and new,
We’ll never be hungry or thirsty,
Nor languish in poverty there,
For all the rich bounties of Heaven
His sanctified children will share.Refrain
There’ll never be crepe on the doorknob,
No funeral train in the sky;
No graves on the hillsides of glory,
For there we shall nevermore die.

Transformed in a moment of time;
Immortal we’ll stand in His likeness,
The stars and the sun to outshine.Refrain

For kind and gladsome ways:

Through weary nights and days!Teach Thou our weak and wandering hearts
Aright to read Thy way;

Our path from day to day.Then sorrow’s face shall be unveiled,

Worn well in patience now,

They have no just cause for fear.Hark! His voice in accents mild,
O, how comforting and sweet!
Speaks to every humble child,
Pointing out a sure retreat!
Come, and in My chambers hide,
To My saints of old well known;
There you safely may abide,
Till the storm be overblown.You have only to repose
On My wisdom, love, and care;
Where My wrath consumes my foes,
Mercy shall My children spare:
While they perish in the flood,
You that bear My holy mark,
Sprinkled with atoning blood,
Shall be safe within the ark.Sinners, see the ark prepared!
Haste to enter while there’s room;
Though the Lord His arm has bared,
Mercy still retards your doom:
Seek Him while there yet is hope,
Ere the day of grace be past;
Lest in wrath He give you up,
And this call should prove your last.Play source: Cyberhymnal -
[Isa 27:12] A Few More Marchings Weary
A few more marchings weary, then we’ll gather home!
A few more storm clouds dreary, then we’ll gather home!
A few more days the cross to bear,
And then with Christ a crown to wear;
A few more marchings weary, then we’ll gather home!Refrain
O’er time’s rapid river, soon we’ll rest forever;
No more marchings weary when we gather home!A few more nights of weeping, then we’ll gather home!
A few more watches keeping, then we’ll gather home!
A few more vict’ries over sin,
A few more sheaves to gather in,
A few more marchings weary, then we’ll gather home!Refrain
A few more sweet links broken, then we’ll gather home!
A few more kind words spoken, then we’ll gather home!
A few more partings on the strand,
And then away to Canaan’s land:
A few more marchings weary, then we’ll gather home!Refrain

[Isa 27:12] Garnered Sheaves
At the feet of the Blessèd Master
We would lay our garnered sheaves;
When we come, and all empty handed,
Surely sore the Master grieves!Refrain
Garnered sheaves from the fields so white to harvest!
Garnered sheaves richly yields life’s golden harvest!
At the feet of the Blessèd Master
We would lay our garnered sheaves.While the fields then are white with harvest,
And the laborers are few,
Let us strive well to fill the garner,
And be reapers staunch and true.Refrain
O the joy of successful labor!
O the joy of work well done!
O the joy of the Master’s praises
To the soul whose crown is won!Refrain
