Disciples of Christ -- Hymns; Hymns, English
6 Shall they be satisfied? The soul’s vague longing—
The aching void which nothing earthly fills?
O! what desires upon my soul are thronging
As I look upward to the heavenly hills.
7 Thither my weak and weary steps are tending—
Saviour and Lord! with thy frail child abide!
Guide me toward home, where, all my wanderings ending,
I shall see thee, and “shall be satisfied.”
840 P. M.
Lord, tarry not, but come.
Beyond the smiling and the weeping,
I shall be soon;
Beyond the waking and the sleeping,
Beyond the sowing and the reaping,
I shall be soon.
Love, rest, and home!
Sweet home!
Lord, tarry not, but come.
2 Beyond the blooming and the fading,
I shall be soon;
Beyond the shining and the shading,
Beyond the hoping and the dreading
I shall be soon.
Love, rest, and home!
Sweet home!
Lord, tarry not, but come.
3 Beyond the rising and the setting,
I shall be soon;
Beyond the calming and the fretting,
Beyond remembering and forgetting,
I shall be soon.
Love, rest, and home!
Sweet home!
Lord, tarry not, but come.
4 Beyond the parting and the meeting,
I shall be soon;
Beyond the farewell and the greeting,
Beyond the pulse’s fever beating,
I shall be soon.
Love, rest, and home!
Sweet home!
Lord, tarry not, but come.
5 Beyond the frost-chain and the fever,
I shall be soon;
Beyond the rock-waste and the river,
Beyond the ever and the never
I shall be soon.
Love, rest, and home!
Sweet home!
Lord, tarry not, but come.
841 10s & 11s.
O tell me no more.
O tell me no more of this world’s vain store;
The time for such trifles with me now is o’er;
A country I’ve found where true joys abound,
To dwell I’m determined on that happy ground.
2 The souls that believe, in glory shall live,
And me in that number will Jesus receive;
My soul, don’t delay, he calls thee away,
Rise, follow the Saviour, and bless the glad day.
3 No mortal doth know what he can bestow,
What light, strength and comfort—go after him, go;
Lo, onward I move to a city above,
None guesses how wondrous my journey will prove.
4 Great spoils I shall win, from death, hell, and sin,
’Midst outward afflictions, I feel Christ within;
And when I’m to die, receive me, I’ll cry,
For Jesus has loved me—I can not tell why.
5 But this I do find, we two are so joined,
He’ll not live in glory, and leave me behind,
So this is the race I’m running, through grace,
Henceforth, till admitted to see my Lord’s face.
6 Now this is my care, that my neighbors may share
These blessings: to seek them will none of you dare?
In bondage, O why, and death, will you lie,
When Jesus assures you free grace is so nigh?
