WITH MY SAVIOR GLORIFIED (R.K. Wilson, 1920)

Savior, time is fleeting by,
Soon this life will ended be,
And we will dwell on high
In that bright eternity.
But I need Thee whilst on earth I stay,
There is much for me to do;
Strength I need each passing day,
To be loyal, pure and true.

Refrain
Oh, the promise that He gave to me,
When He suffered bled and died;
That forever I should be
With my Savior glorified.


On the cross, oh, cruel tree,
Thou didst pay the price of sin,
That we may ransomed be,
And to Heaven enter in,
Holy, holy is Thy matchless name,
This my song shall ever be;
Holy, holy is Thy name
Now and through eternity.


When my pilgrimage is o'er,
And I've laid my trophies down,
May Thy invitation be,
"Enter thou, receive the crown."
Thou my Savior, Thou hast saved alone,
This poor guilty life of mine;
Make my heart Thy royal throne,
Reign as king and Lord divine.


I shall meet my Savior there,
As gates swing wide for me;
Then with all the saints so fair
All His glory I shall see.
There's a mansion now prepared for me,
Jesus made this promise sure;
In that blest eternity
I shall dwell forevermore.

Romans 8:17
Heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with Him, that we may be also glorified together.

HEAVENLY SUNLIGHT  Zelley, 1899

Walking in sunlight all of my journey;
Over the mountains, through the deep vale;
Jesus has said, "I'll never forsake thee,"
Promise divine that never can fail.

Refrain
Heavenly sunlight, heavenly sunlight,
Flooding my soul with glory divine;
Hallelujah, I am rejoicing,
Singing His praises, Jesus is mine.

Shadows around me, shadows above me,
Never conceal my Savior and guide;
He is the light, in Him is no darkness;
Ever I'm walking close to His side.

In the bright sunlight, every rejoicing,
Pressing  my way to mansions above;
Singing His praises gladly I'm walking,
Walking in sunlight, sunlight of love.

Yes!!  Amen.   :dsunny:

Romans 1:20 (NLT)
For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and the heavens.  Through everything God made, they can clearly see His invisible qualities--His eternal power and divine nature.  So they have no excuse for not knowing God.

THIS IS MY FATHER'S WORLD (Babcock, 1915)

This is my Father's world, and to my listening ears,
All nature sings, and round me rings the music of the spheres.
This is my Father's world:  I rest me in the thought
Of rocks and trees, of skies and seas;
His hand the wonders wrought.

This is my Father's world, the birds their carols raise,
The morning light, the lily white, declare their Maker's praise.
This is my Father's world:  He shines in all that's fair;
In the rustling grass I hear Him pass;
He speaks to me everywhere.

This is my Father's world.  O let me ne'er forget
That though the wrong seems oft so strong, God is the ruler yet.
This is my Father's world:  the battle is not done:
Jesus who died for all shall be satisfied,
And earth and heav'n be one.

....
Eph 1:10 (NLT)
And this is the plan:  At the right time He will bring everything together under the authority of Christ -- everything in heaven and on earth.

THIS SPACIOUS EARTH IS ALL THE LORD'S  (Isaac Watts, 1719)

This spacious earth is all the Lord's
And men, and worms, and beasts, and birds:
He raised the building on the seas,
And gave it for their dwelling place.

But there's a brighter world on high,
The palace, Lord, above the sky:
Who shall ascend that blest abode,
And dwell so near his Maker God?

He that abhors and fears to sin,
Whose heart is pure, whhose hands are clean,
Him shall the Lord the Savior bless,
And clothe his soul with righteousness.

These are the men, the holy race,
That seek the God of Jacob's face:
These shall enjoy the blissful sight,
And dwell in everlasting light.

Rejoice, ye shining worlds on high,
Behold the King of glory nigh!
Who can this King of glory be?
The mighty Lord, the Savior is He.

Raised from the dead, He goes before;
He opens Heaven's eternal door,
To give His saints a bless abode,
Near their Redeemer and their God.

Ps 24:1  The earth is the Lord's, and the fullness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.

Ps 27:1-14   v. 8 When thou saith, Seek ye My face; my heart said unto Thee,Thy face will I seek.
