Song Fellowship

1 OH FOR A THOUSAND TONGUES

1. Oh for a thousand tongues to sing
My great Redeemer’s praise
The glories of my God and King,
The triumphs of His grace.

2. My gracious Master and my God,
Assist me to proclaim,
To spread thro’ all the earth abroad
The honours of Thy name.

3. Jesus! the Name that charms our fears,
That bids our sorrows cease;
`Tis music in the sinner’s ears,
`Tis life, and health, and peace.

4. He breaks the power of cancelled sin,
He sets the prisoner free;
His blood can make the foulest clean

His blood availed for me.

5. Hear Him, ye deaf; His praise ye dumb,
Your loosened tongues employ;
Ye blind, behold your Saviour come;
And leap, ye lame, for joy.

6. Glory to God and praise and love
Be ever, ever giv’n
By saints below and saints above

The church in earth and heav’n.

2 PRAISE TO THE LORD

1. Praise to the Lord, the Almighty, the King of creation!
O my soul, praise Him, for He is thy health and salvation
All ye who hear, Now to His temple draw near;
Join me in glad adoration!

2. Praise to the Lord, who o’er all things so wondrously reigneth,
Shelters thee under His wings yea, so gently sustaineth!
Hast Thou not seen How thy desires e’er have been
Granted in what He ordaineth?

3. Praise to the Lord, who doth prosper thy work and defend thee;
Surely His goodness and mercy shall daily attend thee;
Ponder anew What the Almighty can do,
If with His love He befriend thee.

4 Praise to the Lord, who with marvellous wisdom hath made thee!
Decked thee with health, and with loving hand guided and stayed thee;
How oft in grief Hath not He brought thee relief,
Spreading His wings for thee to shade thee!

5. Praise to the Lord! O let all that is in me adore – Him!
All that hath life and breath, come now with praises before Him!
Let the Amen Sound from His people again:
Gladly for aye we adore Him.

3 TO GOD BE THE GLORY

1. To God be the glory great things He hath done!
So loved He the world that He gave us His son,
Who yielded His life an atonement for sin,
And opened the Life-gate that all may go in.

Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord
Let the earth hear His voice!
Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord
Let the people rejoice!
Oh, come to the Father through Jesus the Son;
And give Him the glory – Great things He hath done.

2. O perfect redemption, the purchase of blood!
To every believer the promise of God;
The vilest offender who truly believes,
That moment from Jesus a pardon receives.

3. Great things He hath taught us, great things He hath done,
And great our rejoicing through Jesus the son;
But purer, and higher, and greater will be
Our wonder, our transport, when Jesus we see.

4 GREAT IS OUR GOD

1. Oh praise the Lord, the Lord For He is good
His judgments just, His mercy Doth endure
From Zion’s hill praise ye The Lord of Heaven,
Praise in the heights and All ye stars of light.

Kings of the earth, yes Judges great and small,
Great is our God, Great is our God,
Ye mountains, hills, Ye stormy winds that call,
Great is our God, Great is our God.

2. He knows our ways, The starry host He numbered
Their paths He laid, He calleth Them by name;
He lifted up and helps The meek and lowly
And casteth down, the wicked In their ways.

3. When I look up into the Heaven’s splendour,
The starry host, as far as Eye doth see;
I see His face in all of Heaven’s glory
And feel the tug, His gentle Hand on me.

4. When I survey the wondrous Work at calvary,
My heart and soul as yet Can’t understand:
For what is man that Thou Didst visit Him,
Did glory crown, set o’er The works of Thy hands

5 WE PRAISE THEE, O GOD

In light inaccessible hid from our eyes,
Most blessed, most glorious, the Ancient of Days,

In all life thou livest, the true life of all;
We blossom and flourish as leaves on the tree,
And wither and perish, but naught changeth Thee.

The Ancient of Days
Pavilion’d in splendour,
And girded with praise.

O sing of His grace,
Whose robe is the light,
Whose canopy space,
His chariots of wrath
The deep thunder-clouds form
And dark is His path
On the wings of the storm.

What tongue can recite?
It breathes in the air,
It shines in the light,
It streams from the hills
It descends to the plain,
And sweetly distils
In the dew and the rain.

Ineffable Love!

To hymn Thee above,
The humbler creation,
Though feeble their lays,
With true adoration
Shall lisp to Thy praise.

11 HOW GREAT IS YOUR NAME

On the lips of children and babes
You have found praise to foil your enemy,
To silence the foe and the rebel.

How great is your name, O Lord our God
Through all the earth!

The moon and the stars which you arranged,
What is man that you should keep him in mind
Mortal man that you care for him?

3. Yet you have made him little less than a god,
With glory and honour you crowned him,
Gave him power over the works of your hand,
Put all things under his feet.

4. All of them sheep and cattle,
Yes, even the savage beasts,
Birds of the air, and fish
That make their way through the waters.

5. Give glory to the Father Almighty,
To His Son, Jesus Christ, the Lord,
To the Spirit who dwells in our hearts,
Both now and for ever, Amen

12 HOW GREAT THOU ART

Consider all the works Thy hands hath made,
I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder,
Thy pow’r thro’ out the universe displayed,

Then sings my soul, my Saviour God to thee;
How great Thou art, how great Thou art;
Then sings my soul, my Saviour God to thee;
How great Thou art, how great Thou art;

2. When through the woods and forest glades I wander,
And hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees;
When I look down from lofty mountain grandeur,
And hear the brook and feel the gentle breeze;

3. And when I think that God His Son not sparing,
Sent Him to die I scarce can take it in,
That on the cross, my burden gladly bearing,
He bled and died to take away my sin;

4. When Christ shall come with shout of acclamation,
And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart!
Then I shall bow in humble adoration,
And there proclaim, my God how great Thou art!

Praise, laud, and bless His name always,

While in essence only One,
Undivided God we claim you:

21 A MIGHTY FORTRESS

1. A mighty fortress is our God,
A bulwark never failing;
Our helper He, amid the flood
Of mortal ills prevailing.
For still our ancient foe
Doth seek to work us woe;
His craft and pow’r are great,
And, armed with cruel hate,
On earth is not his equal.

2. Did we in our own strength confide
Our striving would be losing;
Were not the right Man on our side,
The Man of God’s own choosing.
Dost ask who that may be?
Christ Jesus it is He;
Lord Sabaoth is His name,
From age to age the same,
And He must win the battle.

3. And though this world, with devils filled,
Should threaten to undo us,
We will not fear, for God hath willed
His truth to triumph through us.
The prince of darkness grimWe tremble not for him;
His rage we can endure
For lo! His doom is sure:
One little word shall fell him.

4. That word above all earthly powersNo thanks to them abideth
The Spirit and the gifts are ours
Thro Him who with us sideth.
Let goods and kindred go,
This mortal life also;
The body they may kill;
God’s truth abideth still,
His kingdom is forever.

23 O HOW I LOVE JESUS

1. There is a name I love to hear,
I love to sing its worth;
It sounds like music in mine ear,
The sweetest name on earth.

O how I love Jesus,
O how I love Jesus,
O how I love Jesus,
Because He first loved me.

2. It tells me of a Saviour’s love,
Who died to set me free;
It tells me of His precious blood,
The sinner’s perfect plea.

3. It tells me what my Father hath
In store for-every day;
And though I tread a darksome path,
Yields sunshine all the way.

4. It tells of One whose loving heart
Can feel my deepest woe;
Who in each sorrow bears a part,
That none can bear below.

24 THE WAY, THE TRUTH, THE LIFE

1. I am the way, the Saviour said,
And I would follow on,
Content to know that after night
Shall break a glorious dawn.

I am the Way , the Truth and the life
No man cometh unto the Father but by me
I am the Way, the Truth and the Life,
No man cometh unto the Father but by me.

2. I am the Truth, then Truth shall be,
A beacon light to guide,
My bark across the stormy sea,
To where still waters glide.

3. I am the Life, there is no death,
For me to fear no dread,
Since by His all atoning blood,
My life to His is wed.

25 JOY TO THE WORLD

1. Joy to the world! the Lord is come;
Let earth receive her King;
Let ev’ry heart prepare Him room,
And heav’n and nature sing, and heav’n and nature sing,
And heav’n and heav’n and nature sing.

2. Joy to the world! the Saviour reigns;
Let men their songs employ;
While fields and floods, rocks, hills and plains
Repeat the sounding joy, repeat the sounding joy,
Repeat, repeat the sounding joy.

3. No more let sins and sorrows grow,
Nor thorns infest the ground;
He comes to make His blessings flow
Far as the curse is found, far as the curse is found,
Far as, far as the curse is found.

4. He rules the world with truth and grace,
And makes the nations prove
The glories of His righteousness,
And wonders of His love, and wonders of His love,
And wonders, and wonders of His love.

26 JESUS ONLY IS OUR MESSAGE
1. Jesus only is our Message,
Jesus all our theme shall be,
We will lift up Jesus ever,

Jesus only will we see.

Jesus only, Jesus ever,
Jesus all in all we sing;
Saviour, Sanctifier, Healer,
Baptizer and coming King.

2. Jesus only is our Saviour,
All our guilt He bore away,
All our righteousness He gives us,
All our strength from day to day.

3. Jesus is our Sanctifier,
Cleansing us from self and sin,
And with all His Spirit’s fulness,
Filling all our hearts within.

4. Jesus only is our Healer,
All our sicknesses He bare,
And His risen life and fulness,
All His members still may share.

5. Jesus only is our power
His the gift of Pentecost,
Jesus, breathe Thy power upon us,
Fill us with the Holy Ghost.

6. And for Jesus we are waiting
Listening for the trumpet’s sound
Then it will be us and Jesus
Living ever with our God.

27 MY JESUS, I LOVE THEE

1. My Jesus, I love Thee, I know Thou art mine;
For Thee all the follies of sin I resign;
My gracious Redeemer, my Saviour art Thou:
If ever I loved Thee, my Jesus `tis now!

2. I love Thee, because Thou has first loved me,
And purchased my pardon on Calvary’s tree;
I love Thee for wearing the thorns on Thy brow:
If ever I loved Thee, my Jesus `tis now!

3. I’ll love Thee in life, I will love Thee in death,
And praise Thee as long as Thou lendest me breath;
And say when the death-dew lies cold on my brow;
If ever I loved Thee, my Jesus, `tis now.

4. In mansions of glory and endless delight,
I’ll ever adore Thee in heaven so bright;
I’ll sing with the glittering crown on my brow:
If ever I loved Thee, my Jesus `tis now!

28 JESUS FOR ME

1. Jesus, my Saviour is all things to me;
Oh, what a wonderful Saviour is He
Guiding, protecting, o’er life’s troubled sea,
Mighty Deliverer- Jesus for me!

Jesus for me! Jesus for me!
All the time, everywhere, Jesus for me!

2. Jesus in sickness, and Jesus in health,
Jesus in poverty, comfort or wealth,
Sunshine or tempest, whatever it be,
He is my Safety- Jesus for me!

3. He is my Refuge, my Rock, and my Tower

He is my Fortress, my Strength and my Power;
Life Everlasting, my Daysman is He,
Blessed Redeemer- Jesus for me!

He is my Bread of Life, Fountain and Spring;
Bright Sun of Righteousness, Daystar is He;
Horn of Salvation- Jesus for me!

5. Jesus in sorrow, in joy or in pain:
Jesus my Treasure, in loss or in gain;
Constant Companion where’re I may be,
Living or dying- Jesus for me!

29 THE OLD RUGGED CROSS

1. On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross,
The emblem of suff’ring and shame;
And I love that old cross where the dearest and best
For a world of lost sinners was slain.

So I’ll cherish the old rugged cross,…
Till my trophies at last I lay down;
I will cling to the old rugged cross,…
And exchange it some day for a crown.

2. Oh, that old rugged cross, so despised by the world,
Has a wondrous attraction for me;
For the dear Lamb of God left His glory above,
To bear it to dark Calvary.

3. In the old rugged cross, stained with blood so divine,
A wondrous beauty I see;
For `twas on that old cross Jesus suffered and died
To pardon and sanctify me.

4. To the old rugged cross I will ever be true,
Its shame and reproach gladly bear;
Then He’ll call me some day to my home far away,
Where His glory forever I’ll share.

30 HE DIED OF A BROKEN HEART

1. Have you read the story of the Cross,
Where Jesus bled and died;
Where your debt was paid by His precious blood
That flowed from His wounded side?

He died of a broken heart for you,
He died of a broken heart;
Upon a tree, for you, for me,
He died of a broken heart.

2. Have you read how they placed the crown of thorns
Upon His brow for you,
When He prayed, Forgive them, oh, forgive;
They know not what they do?

3. Have you read how He saved the dying thief,
When hanging on the tree,
When He looked with pleading eyes and said,
Dear Lord, remember Me?

4. Have you read that He looked to heaven and said,
`Tis finished? `Twas for thee!
Have you ever said, I thank Thee, Lord,
For giving Thy life for me?

31 I’VE FOUND A FRIEND IN JESUS

1. I’ve found a friend in Jesus, He’s everything to me;
He’s the fairest of ten thousand to my soul!
The Lily of the Valley, in Him alone I see
All I need to cleanse and make me fully whole;
In sorrow He’s my comfort, in trouble He’s my stay;
He tells me every care on Him to roll:
He’s the Lily of the Valley, the Bright and Morning Star,
He’s the fairest of ten thousand to my soul!

2. He all my grief has taken, and all my sorrows borne;
In temptation He’s my strong and mighty tower;
I’ve all for Him forsaken, I’ve all my idols torn
From my heart and now He keeps me by His pow’r.
Though all the world forsake me, and Satan tempt me sore,
Through Jesus I shall safely reach the goal.
He’s the Lily of the Valley, the Bright and Morning Star;
He’s the fairest of ten thousand to my soul!

3. He’ll never never leave me nor yet forsake me here,
While I live by faith, and do His blessed will;
A wall of fire about me, I’ve nothing now to fear:
With His manna He my hungry soul shall fill.
When crowned at last in glory, I’ll see His blessed face,
Where rivers of delight shall ever roll.
He’s the Lily of the Valley, the Bright and Morning Star
He’s the fairest of ten thousand to my soul!

32 MY HOPE IS BUILT ON NOTHING LESS

1. My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus’ blood and righteousness;
I dare not trust the sweetest frame,
But wholly lean on Jesus’ name.

On Christ, the Solid Rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand,
All other ground is sinking sand.

2. When darkness seems to hide His face,
I rest on His unchanging grace;
In ev’ry high and stormy gale,
My anchor holds within the vale.

3. His oath, His covenant, His blood,
Support me in the whelming flood,
When all around my soul gives way,
He then is all my hope and stay.

4. When He shall come with trumpet sound,
Oh, may I then in Him be found,
Dressed in His righteousness alone,
Faultless to stand before the throne.

33 I’VE ANCHORED IN JESUS

1. Upon life’s boundless ocean where mighty billows roll,
I’ve fixed my hope in Jesus, blest anchor of my soul;
When trials fierce assail me as storms are gath’ring o’er,
I rest upon His mercy and trust Him more.

I’ve anchored in Jesus,
The storms of life I’ll brave,
I’ve anchored in Jesus, I fear no wind or wave,
I’ve anchored in Jesus for He hath pow’r to save,
I’ve anchored to the Rock of Ages.

2. He keeps my soul from evil and gives me blessed peace,
His voice hath stilled the waters and bid their tumult cease;
My Pilot and Deliv’rer, to Him I all confide,
For always when I need Him, He’s at my side.

3. He is my Friend and Savior, in Him my anchor’s cast,
He drives away my sorrows and shields me from the blast;
By faith I’m looking upward beyond life’s troubled sea,
There I behold a haven prepared for me.

34 TAKE THE NAME OF JESUS

1. Take the name of Jesus with you,
Child of sorrow and of woe;
It will joy and comfort give you-
Take it, then, where’er you go.

Precious name,… oh, how sweet!..
Hope of earth and joy of heaven!
Precious name,… oh, how sweet!..
Hope of earth and joy of heaven.

2. Take the name of Jesus ever,
As a shield from every snare;
If temptations round you gather,
Breathe that holy name in prayer.

3. O, the precious name of Jesus!
How it thrills our souls with joy,
When His loving arms receive us,
And His songs our tongues employ.

4. At the name of Jesus bowing,
Falling prostrate at His feet,
King of kings in heav’n we’ll crown Him
When our journey is complete.

35 THERE’S NO ONE LIKE MY SAVIOUR

1. There’s no one like my Saviour;
No friend can be like Him;
My never failing sunshine
When earthly lights grow dim;
When summer flow’rs are blooming
The brightness of my joy,
O, may His happy service
My heart and life employ.

No one, no one like my preciousSaviour
No one, no one such a friend can be;
No one, no one like my precious Saviour
Glory, glory, Jesus cares for me.

2. There’s no one like my Saviour;
In seasons of distress,
He draws me closer to Him,
To comfort and to bless;
He gives me in temptation,
The strength of His right arm;
His angels camp around me,
To keep me from all harm.

3. There’s no one like my Saviour,
He pardons all my sin,
And gives His Holy Spirit,
A springing well within;
He leads me out to service,
With gentle touch and mild;
O, wonder of all wonders,
That I should be His child.

4. There’s no one like my Saviour,
Come now, and find it true!
He gave His life a ransom,
His blood was shed for you;
Then, when we reach the City
Of everlasting light,
We’ll sing with saints and angels,
All honour, power and might.

36 WORTHY IS THE LAMB

1. Worthy, worthy is the Lamb!
Worthy, worthy is the Lamb!

We the palm of vict’ry bear,
All our Father’s blessings share
In the Lamb.

3. And when landed safe above
In the kingdom of His love,
We shall all the fulness prove
Of the Lamb.

4. Now revive Thy work, O Lord!
By Thy Spirit and Thy Word
Now revive Thy work, O Lord!
Through the Lamb.

5. Strike the stoutest sinner through,
Start the cry, `What must I do?’
Make him weep till born anew
Through the Lamb.

37 CHRIST AROSE

1. Low in the grave He lay,
Jesus my Saviour!
Waiting the coming day
Jesus my Lord!

Up from the grave He arose,
With a mighty triumph o’er His foes;
He arose a victor from the dark domain,
And He lives for ever with His Saints to reign.
He arose, He arose! Alleluia! Christ arose.

2. Vainly they watch His bed,
Jesus my Saviour!
Vainly they seal! the dead,
Jesus my Lord!

3. Death cannot keep His prey,
Jesus my Saviour!
He tore the bars away,
Jesus my Lord!

Died for the sinner, paid all his due;
All who receive Him need never fear,
Yes, He will pass, will pass over you.

When I see the blood,
When I see the blood
When I see the blood
I will pass, I will pass over you.

2. Chiefest of sinners, Jesus can save,
As He has promised, So will He do;
Oh, sinner, hear Him, trust in His word,
Then He will pass, will pass over you.

3. Judgment is coming, all will be there,
Who have rejected, who have refused?
Oh, sinner, hasten, let Jesus in,
Then God will pass, will pass over you.

Jesus hath power, Jesus is true;
All who believe are safe from the storm,
Oh, He will pass, will pass over you.

1. What can wash away my sin?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus!

Nothing but the blood of Jesus!

Oh! precious is the flow
That makes me white as snow!
No other fount I know:
Nothing but the blood of Jesus!

2. For my pardon this I see
Nothing but the blood of Jesus!
For my cleansing this my pleaNothing but the blood of Jesus!

3. Nothing can for sin atone –
Nothing but the blood of Jesus!
Naught of good that I have done–
Nothing but the blood of Jesus!

4. This is all my hope and peace
Nothing but the blood of Jesus!
This is all my righteousness
Nothing but the blood of Jesus!

5. Glory! Glory! Thus I sing
Nothing but the blood of Jesus!
All my praise for this I bring
Nothing but the blood of Jesus!

Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?
Are you fully trusting in his grace this hour?

In the soul cleansing blood of the Lamb?

And be washed in the blood of the Lamb;
There’s a fountain flowing for the soul unclean,
O be washed in the blood of the Lamb!

41 THERE IS POWER IN THE BLOOD

1. Would you be free from the burden of sin?
There’s pow’r in the blood, pow’r in the blood;
Would you o’er evil a victory win?
There’s wonderful pow’r in the blood.

There is pow’r, pow’r, wonder- working pow’r
In the blood of the Lamb;
There is pow’r, pow’r, wonder-working pow’r
In the pre-cious blood of the Lamb.

There’s pow’r in the blood, pow’r in the blood;
Sin-stains are lost in its life-giving flow;

To cheer the wand’rer lone and tempest tossed;
No storms can hide that radiance peaceful beaming,
Since Jesus came to seek and save the lost.

Thy light shall guide me in the narrow way;
Precept and promise, law and love combining,
Till night shall vanish in eternal day.

When sin and grief have filled my soul with fear;
Give me the precious words by Jesus spoken,
Hold up faith’s lamp to show my Saviour near.

Teach me the danger of these realms below;
That lamp of safety o’er the gloom shall brighten,
That light alone the path of peace can show.

Hold up that splendor by the open grave;
Show me the light from heaven’s shining portals,
Show me the glory gilding Jordan’s wave.

44 THE BIBLE STANDS

1. The Bible stands like a rock undaunted
`Mid the raging storms of time;
Its pages burn with the truth eternal,
And they glow with a light sublime.

The Bible stands tho’ the hills may tumble,
It will firmly stand when the earth shall crumble;
I will plant my feet on its firm foundation,
For the Bible stands.

2. The Bible stands like a mountain tow’ring
Far above the works of men;
Its truth by none ever was refuted,
And destroy it they never can.

3. The Bible stands and it will forever,
When the world has passed away;
By inspiration it has been given,
All its precepts I will obey.

4. The Bible stands ev’ry test we give it,
For its Author is divine;
By grace alone I expect to live it,
And to prove it and make it mine.

45 I KNOW THE BIBLE IS TRUE

1. I know the Bible was sent from God,
The Old, as well as the New;
Inspired and holy, the living Word,
I know the Bible is true.

I know, I know, I know the Bible is True;
Divinely inspired the whole way thro’,
I know the Bible is true.

2. I know the story of Christ is true,
His virgin, glorious birth,
His life, His death, and the open tomb,
And His return to the earth.

3. I know the Bible is wholly true,
For peace it gave me within;
It finds me, comforts me day by day,
And gives me vict’ry o’er sin.

The message old, but still new,
Its truth is sweeter each time `tis told,
I know the Bible is true.

Lose not its precepts so precious and pure;
Souls that are sleeping its tidings awaken:
Life from the dead in its promises sure.

Cling to the Bible! Cling to the Bible!
Cling to the Bible- Our Lamp and our Guide!

2. Cling to the Bible! This jewel and treasure
Brings life eternal, and saves fallen man;
Surely its value no mortal can measure:
Seek for its blessing, O soul, while you can!

Guide for the youth that would otherwise fall;
Hope for the sinner whose life has been squandered,
Staff for the aged, and best book for all.

47 THY WORD HAVE I HID IN MY HEART

1. Thy Word is a lamp to my feet,
A light to my path alway;
To guide and to save me from sin,
And show me the heavenly way.

Thy Word have I hid in my heart
That I might not sin against Thee
That I might not sin, that I might not sin,
Thy Word have I hid in my heart.

2. Forever, O Lord, is Thy Word
Established and fixed on high;
Thy faithfulness unto all men
Abideth forever nigh.

3. At morning, at noon, and at night
I ever will give Thee praise;
For Thou art my portion, O Lord,
And shall be through all my days!

4. Thro’ Him whom Thy Word hath foretold,
The Saviour and Morning Star,
Salvation and peace have been bro’t
To those who have strayed afar.

48 HAPPY INDEED IS THE MAN

1. Happy indeed is the man who follows
Not the counsel of the wicked,
Nor lingers in the way of sinners
Nor sits in the company of scorners,
But whose delight is the law of the Lord
And who ponders his law day and night.

Blessed is he who delights in the law of the Lord.

2. He is like a tree that is planted
Beside the flowing waters,
That yields its fruits in due season
And whose leaves shall never fade;
And all that he does shall prosper.
Not so are the wicked not so!

3. For they like winnowed chaff shall
be driven away by the wind.
When the wicked are judged, they shall not stand,
Nor find room among those who are just,
For the Lord guards the way of the just,
But the way of the wicked leads to doom.

4. Give praise to the Father Almighty,
To his Son, Jesus Christ, the Lord,
To the Spirit who dwells in our hearts,
Both now and for ever. Amen.

49 BE YE DOERS OF THE WORD

1. Out of James one twenty-two Comes a call for Juniors true.
Who will live for Christ the risen Lord:
Listen to this trumpet call
Ringing out to one and all,
Be ye doers of the Word.

Be ye doers of the Word,
Be ye doers of the Word,
Be ye doers of the Word,
And not hearers, not hearers only,
Be ye doers of the Word.

2. We would strive for Christ to live; Time and talents we would give;
We would follow Jesus all the way:
Tithes and offerings we would bring;
We would work and pray and sing
For the Master every day.

3. Kind to others we would be,
Jesus likeness they would see;
We would keep our bodies clean and strong:
We would strive in school and play
To learn lessons and obey,
Live for right and conquer wrong.

4. Let us serve with all our might;
Let us stand for truth and right,
Always living for the risen Lord:
Come and join our happy throng;
Sing with us our joyous song,
Be ye doers of the Word.

Do all in the name of the Lord;

Do all in the name of the Lord;
In word or deed, as God decreed,
Do all in the name of the Lord.

2. Be not deceived by worldly greed,
Do all in the name of the Lord;
The Spirit says Ain word or deed,

51 NEVER LOSE SIGHT OF JESUS

1. O pilgrim bound for the heavenly
land.
Never lose sight of Jesus
He’ll lead you gently with loving
hand:
Never lose sight of Jesus!

Never lose sight of Jesus!
Never lose sight of Jesus!
Day and night He will lead you
right;
Never lose sight of Jesus

2. When you are tempted to go astray,
Never lose sight of Jesus
Press onward, upward the narrow
way;
Never lose sight of Jesus!

3. Though dark the pathway may seem
ahead,
Never lose sight of Jesus
AI will be with you, His word hath
said:
Never lose sight of Jesus!

4. When death is knocking outside the
door,
Never lose sight of Jesus
Till safe with Him on the golden
shore:
Never lose sight of Jesus!

52 YIELD NOT TO TEMPTATION

1. Yield not to temptation,
For yielding is sin;
Each vict’ry will help you
Some other to win;
Fight manfully onward,
Dark passions subdue;
Look ever to Jesus,
He’ll carry you through.

Ask the Saviour to help you.
Comfort, strengthen, and keep you
He is willing to aid you,
He will carry you through.

2. Shun evil companions,
Bad language disdain;
God’s name hold in reverence,
Nor take it in vain;
Be thoughtful and earnest,
Kind hearted and true;
Look ever to Jesus,
He’ll carry you through.

3. To him that o’ercometh,
God giveth a crown;
Thro’ faith we will conquer,
Though often cast down;
He, who is our Saviour,
Our strength will renew;
Look ever to Jesus,
He’ll carry you through.

53 LEAVE IT THERE

1. If the world from you withhold of its
silver and its gold,
And you have to get along with
meager fare,
Just remember, in His word, how He feeds the little bird;
Take your burden to the Lord and
leave it there.

Leave it there, leave it there,
Take your burden to the Lord and
leave it there;
If you trust and never doubt,
He will surely bring you out;
Take your burden to the Lord and
leave it there.

2. If your body suffers pain and your
health you can’t regain,
And your soul is almost sinking in
despair,
Jesus knows the pain you feel,
He can save and He can heal;
Take your burden to the Lord and
leave it there.

3. When your enemies assail and your
heart begins to fail,
Don’t forget that God in heaven
answers prayer;
He will make a way for you and
Will lead you safely thro’;
Take your burden to the Lord and
leave it there.

4. When your youthful days are gone
and old age is stealing on,
And your body bends beneath the
weight of care;
He will never leave you then,
He’ll go with you to the end;
Take your burden to the Lord and
leave it there.

54 JUST OBEY

1. Just as God who reigns on high
Spake to men in days gone by,
So the Lord is calling men today;
And, my brother this is true,
Whatsoe’er He says to you,
There is but one thing to do just
obey.

Just obey, just obey
Is the way, God’s way;
When His message comes to you,
There is but one thing to do,
Just obey, just obey.

2. If you’re in the Saviour’s side
You must do as He commands,
For there is no other gospel way;
Never put the message by,
Never stop to reason why,
When the Saviour speaks to you just
Obey.

3. If for mansions fair you sigh
In that land beyond the sky,
After time with you has passed
away;
Tho’ the way you may not see
Christ is calling, follow me,
Faith and duty both will cry just
obey.

55 TRUST AND OBEY

1. When we walk with the Lord
In the light of His word,
What a glory He sheds on our way!
While we do His good will,
He abides with us still,
And with all who will trust and obey.

Trust and obey,
For there’s no other way
To be happy in Jesus
But to trust and obey.

2. Not a shadow can rise,
Not a cloud in the skies,
But His smile quickly drives it away!
Not a doubt nor a fear,
Not a sigh nor a tear,
Can abide while we trust and obey.

3. Not a burden we bear,
Not a sorrow we share,
But our toil He doth richly repay;
Not a grief nor a loss,
Not a frown nor a cross,
But is blest if we trust and obey.

4. But we never can prove
The delights of His love,
Until all on the altar we lay;
For the favour He shows,
And the joy He bestows,
Are for them who will trust and obey.

5. Then in fellowship sweet
We will sit at His feet,
Or we’ll walk by His side in the way;
What He says we will do,
Where He sends we will go,
Never fear, only trust and obey.

56 IN TIMES LIKE THESE

1. In times like these you need a Saviour,
In times like these you need an anchor;
Be very sure, be very sure,

A place in His sanctified throng.

Why not? Why not?
Why not come to Him now?
Why not? Why not?
Why not come to Him now.

To gain by a further delay?
There’s no one to save you but

3. Do you not feel, dear brother,
His Spirit now striving within?
O, why not accept His salvation,
And throw off your burden of sin?

The harvest is passing away;

you:
There’s danger and death in delay.

58 O WHY NOT TONIGHT?

1. O do not let the word depart,
And close thine eyes against the light;
Poor sinner, harden not thy heart:
Be saved, O tonight.

O why not tonight?
O why not tonight?
Wilt thou be saved? Then why not tonight?

2. Tomorrow’s sun may never rise
To bless thy long deluded sight;
This is the time, O then be wise:
Be saved, O tonight.

3. Our God in pity lingers still,
And wilt thou thus His love requite?
Renounce at once thy stubborn will:
Be saved, O tonight.

4. The world has nothing left to give,
It has no new, no pure delight;
O try the life which Christians live:
Be saved, O tonight.

5. Our blessed Lord refuses none,
Who would to Him their souls unite;
Believe, obey, the work is done:
Be saved, O tonight.

59 WE ARE JOURNEYING ONWARD TO CANAAN LAND

1. We are journeying on ward to Canaan land,
Guided by our God’s right hand;
From the world’s dark places to a land of light,
Where the blessed Saviour drives away the night:
We are feasting daily upon Angels’ food,
Come thou with us, and God will do thee good.

Come thou with us, and God will do thee good
Leave the husks this world, and feast on heavenly food,
Break every earthly tie, on God alone rely,
O! Come thou with us and God will do thee good.

2. Start today to march the narrow trail,
Faith in God can never fail;
Just obey our blessed Lord’s supreme command,
And He’ll guide your foot-steps with His mighty Hand;
Jesus feeds His soldiers upon Angels’ food,
Come thou with us, and God will do thee good.

3. There are foes to meet on this pilgrim way,
Jesus wins and has full sway;
As we overcome each trial and bitter test,
We are led in triumph to eternal rest;
By God’s help all pow’rs of hell can be withstood.
Come thou with us, and God will do thee good.

60 WHILE WE PRAY, AND WHILE WE PLEAD

1. While we pray, and while we plead,
While you see your soul’s deep
need,
While your Father calls you home,
Will you not, my brother, come?

Why not now?.. why not now?..
Why not come to Jesus now?
Why not now?.. why not now?..
Why not come to Jesus now?

2. You have wandered far away,
Do you risk another day;
Do not turn from God your face,
But to-day accept His grace.

3. In the world you’ve failed to find
Aught of peace for troubled mind;
Come to Christ, on Him believe,
Peace and joy you shall receive.

4. Come to Christ, confession make,
Come to Christ pardon take;
Trust in Him from day to day
He will keep you all the way.

61 ALMOST PERSUADED

1. Almost persuaded: now to believe;
Almost persuaded: Christ to receive;
Seems now some soul to say?
Go, Spirit, go Thy way:
Some more convenient day on Thee I’ll call.

2. Almost persuaded: come, come today!
Almost persuaded: turn not away!
Jesus invites you here,
Angels are lingering near,
Prayers rise from heart so dear, O wand’rer, come!

3. Almost persuaded: harvest is past!
Almost persuaded: doom comes at last!
Almost cannot avail;
Almost is but to fail:
Sad, sad, that bitter wail- Almost – but lost!

1. If you are tired of the load of your sin,
Let Jesus come into your heart;

He will take you home to heav’n:
Let Him in.

66 PREPARE TO MEET THY GOD

1. Careless soul, why will you linger,
Wand’ring from the fold of God?
Hear you not the invitation?
O prepare to meet thy God.

Careless soul, O heed the warning,
For your life will soon be gone,
O how sad to face the judgment
Unprepared to meet thy God.

2. Why so tho’tless are you standing
While the fleeting years go by,
And your life is spent in folly?
O prepare to meet thy God.

3. Hear you not the earnest pleadings
Of your friends that wish you well?
And perhaps before tomorrow
You’ll be called to meet your God.

4. If you spurn the invitation
Till the Spirit shall depart,
Then you’ll see your sad condition,
Unprepared to meet thy God.

67 IS THY HEART RIGHT WITH GOD?

1. Have thy affections been nailed to the cross?
Is thy heart right with God?
Countest thou all things for Jesus but loss?
Is thy heart right with God?

Is thy heart right with God,
Washed in the crimson flood.
Cleansed and made holy, humble and lowly,
Right in the sight of God?….

2. Hast thou dominion o’er self and o’er sin?
Is thy heart right with God?
Over all evil without and within?
Is thy heart right with God?

3. Is there no more condemnation for sin?
Is thy heart right with God?
Does Jesus rule in the temple within
Is thy heart right with God?

4. Are all thy pow’rs under Jesus’ control?
Is thy heart right with God?
Does He each moment abide in thy soul?
Is thy heart right with God?

5. Art thou now walking in heaven’s pure light?
Is thy heart right with God?
Is thy soul wearing the garment of white?
Is thy heart right with God?

68 ALL YOUR ANXIETY

1. Is there a heart o’er bound by sorrow?
Is there a life weighed down by care?
Come to the cross, each burden bearing,
All your anxiety leave it there.

All your anxiety, all your care,
Bring to the Mercy seat, leave it there;
Never a burden He cannot bear,
Never a Friend like Jesus.

2. No other Friend so keen to help you;
No other Friend so quick to hear;
No other place to leave your burden;
No other one to hear your prayer.

3. Come then, at once, delay no longer;
Heed His entreaty, kind and sweet;
You need not fear a disappointment
You shall find peace at the mercy seat.

69 LORD, I’M COMING HOME

1. I’ve wandered far away from God,
Now I’m coming home;
The paths of sin too long I’ve trod,
Lord, I’m coming home.

Coming home, coming home,
Never more to roam,
Open wide Thine arms of love,
Lord, I’m coming home.

2. I’ve wasted many precious years,
Now I’m coming home;
I now repent with bitter tears,
Lord, I’m coming home.

3. I’m tired of sin and straying Lord
Now I’m coming home;
I’ll trust Thy love, believe Thy word,
Lord, I’m coming home.

4. My soul is sick, my heart is sore,
Now I’m coming home;
My strength renew, my hope restore,
Lord, I`m coming home.

5. My only hope, my only plea,
Now I’m coming home;
That Jesus died, and died for me,
Lord, I’m coming home.

6. I need His cleansing blood, I know,
Now, I’m coming home;
O wash me whiter than the snow,
Lord, I’m coming home.

70 YE MUST BE BORN AGAIN

1. A ruler once came to Jesus by night,
To ask Him the way of salvation
and light;
The Master made answer in words
true and plain,
AYe must be born again!

AYe must be born again!..
AYe must be born again!..
I verily, verily say unto thee

AYe must be born again!..

2. Ye children of men, attend to the
word
So solemnly uttered by Jesus, the
Lord;
And let not this message to you be
in vain:
AYe must be born again!

3. O ye who would enter that glorious
rest,
And sing with the ransomed the
song of the blestThe life everlasting if ye would
obtain,
AYe must be born again!

4. A dear one in heaven thy heart
yearns to see,
At the beautiful gate may be
watching for thee;
Then list to the note of this solemn
refrain.
AYe must be born again!

71 I AM PRAYING FOR YOU

1. I have a Saviour, He’s pleading in
glory,
A dear loving Saviour, tho’ earthfriends be few,
And now He is watching in
tenderness o’er me,
But O that my Saviour were your
Saviour too!

For you I am praying,
For you I am praying,
For you I am praying,
I’m praying for you.

2. I have a Father: to me He has given
A hope for eternity, blessed and
true;
And soon He will call me to meet
Him in heaven,
But O that He’d let me bring you
with me too!

3. I have a robe: `tis resplendent in
whiteness,
Awaiting in glory my wondering
view;
O when I receive it all shining in
brightness,
Dear friend, could I see you
receiving one too!

4. I have a peace: it is calm as a river,
A peace that the friends of this
world never knew;
My Saviour alone is its Author and
Giver,
And O could I know it was given to
you!

5. When Christ has found you, tell
others the story,
That my loving Saviour is your
Saviour too;
Then pray that your Saviour will
bring them to glory,
And prayer will be answered- `twas
answered for you!

72 OUT OF MY BONDAGE

1. Out of my bondage, sorrow and night,
Jesus, I come, Jesus, I come;
Into Thy freedom, gladness and light
Jesus I come to Thee;
Out of my sickness into Thy health,
Out of my want and into Thy wealth,
Out of my sin and into Thy-self,
Jesus, I come to Thee.

2. Out of my shameful failure and loss,
Jesus, I come, Jesus I come;
Into the glorious gain of Thy cross,
Jesus I come to Thee;
Out of earth’s sorrows into Thy balm,
Out of life’s storms and into Thy calm,
Out of distress to jubilant psalm,
Jesus, I come to Thee.

3. Out of unrest and arrogant pride,
Jesus I come, Jesus, I come;
Into Thy blessed will to abide,
Jesus, I come to Thee;
Out of myself to dwell in Thy love,
Out of despair into raptures above,
Upward for aye on wings like a dove,
Jesus, I come to Thee.

4. Out of the fear and dread of the tomb,
Jesus, I come, Jesus, I come
Into the joy and light of Thy home,
Jesus, I come to Thee;
Out of the depths of ruin untold,
Into the peace of Thy sheltering fold,
Ever Thy glorious face to behold,
Jesus, I come to Thee.

73 RUNNING OVER

1. Since the Saviour came to this heart
of mine,
My cup’s fill’d and running over,
Filling my poor soul with His joy
divine,
My cup’s fill’d and running over.

Ru. . . . ning over,
Ru. . . . ning over,
My cup’s fill’d and running over,
Since the Lord saved me,
I’m as happy as can be,
My cup’s fill’d and running over.

2. With my Lord so dear, I have
naught to fear,
My cup’s fill’d and running over,
Tho’ my way be drear He is ever
near,
My cup’s fill’d and running over.

3. Even tho’ I walk thro’ death’s
darksome vale,
My cup’s filled and running over,
Christ my Lord shall be my comfort
still,
My cup’s fill’d and running over.

4. Sinner, seek the Lord, trust His
precious word,
While the angels round you hover,
Heaven’s bells will ring, and you
then will sing,
My cup’s fill’d and running over.

74 JUST AS I AM, WITHOUT ONE PLEA

1. Just as I am, without one plea,
But that Thy blood was shed for me,
And that thou bidst me come to Thee,
O Lamb of God, I come! I come!

2. Just as I am, and waiting not,
To rid my soul of one dark blot,
To Thee whose blood can cleanse each spot,
O Lamb of God, I come! I come!

3. Just as I am-though tossed about,
With many a conflict, many a doubt,
Fightings and fears within, without,
O Lamb of God, I come! I come!

4. Just as I am-poor, wretched, blindSight, riches, healing of the mind,
Yea, all I need, in Thee to find,
O Lamb of God, I come! I come!

5. Just as I am, Thou wilt receive,
Wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve;
Because Thy promise I believe,
O Lamb of God, I come! I come!

6. Just as I am – Thy love unknown,
Has broken every barrier down,
Now to be Thine, yea, Thine alone.
O Lamb of God, I come! I come!

7. Just as I am, of that free love,
The breadth, length, depth and height to prove,
Here for a season, then above,
O Lamb of God, I come! I come!

75 IN TENDERNESS HE SOUGHT ME

1. In tenderness He sought me,
Weary and sick with sin,
And on His shoulders brought me,
Back to His fold again,
While angels in His presence sang,
Until the courts of heaven rang.

Oh, the love that sought me!
Oh, the blood that bought me!
Oh, the grace that brought me to
the fold,
Wondrous grace that brought me to
the fold!

2. He washed the bleeding sinwounds,
And poured in oil and wine;
He whispered to assure me
AI’ve found thee, thou art Mine;
I never heard a sweet voice,
It made my aching heart rejoice!

3. He pointed to the nail-prints,
For me His blood was shed,
A mocking crown so thorny,
Was placed upon His head:
I wondered what He saw in me,
To suffer such deep agony.

4. I’m sitting in His presence,
The sunshine of His face,
While with adoring wonder
His blessings I retrace
It seems as if eternal days
Are far too short to sound His
praise.

5. So while the hours are passing,
All now is perfect rest;
I’m waiting for the morning,
The brightest and the best,
When He will call us to His side,
To be with Him, His spotless bride.

76 WONDERFUL GRACE OF JESUS

1. Wonderful grace of Jesus,
Greater than all my sin;
How shall my tongue describe it,
Where shall its praise begin?
Taking away my burden,
Setting my spirit free,
For the wonderful grace of Jesus
reaches me.

Wonderful the matchless grace of
Je….sus,
Deeper than the mighty rolling sea;
Higher than the mountain,
sparkling like a fountain,
All sufficient grace for even me, for
even me,
Broader than the scope of my
transgressions,
Greater far than all my sin and
shame…..
O magnify the precious name of
Jesus,
Praise His name!

2. Wonderful grace of Jesus,
Reaching to all the lost,
By it I have been pardoned,
Saved to the uttermost,
Chains have been torn asunder,
Giving me liberty;
For the wonderful grace of Jesus
reaches me.

3. Wonderful grace of Jesus,
Reaching the most defiled,
By its transforming power,
Making him God’s dear child,
Purchasing peace and heaven,
For all eternity;
And the wonderful grace of Jesus
reaches me.

77 GOD OF MERCY AND COMPASSION

1. God of mercy and compassion,
Look with pity upon me;
Father, let me call Thee Father,
`Tis thy child returns to Thee.

Jesus Lord, I ask for mercy,
Let me not implore in vain,
All my sins I now detest them,
Never will I sin again.

2. By my sins I have deserved
Death and endless misery;
Hell with all its pains and torments
And for all eternity.

3. By my sins I have abandoned
Right and claim to heaven above;
Where the saints rejoice forever
In a boundless sea of love.

4. See our Saviour, bleeding, dying;
On the Cross of Calvary;
To that cross my sins have nailed
Him,
Yet He bled and died for me.

78 THE OLD ACCOUNT SETTLED

1. There was a time on earth,
When in the book of heav’n
An old account was standing
For sins yet unforgiv’n;
My name was at the top,
And many things below,
I went unto the keeper,
And settled long ago

Long ago, Long ago,
Yes, the old account was settled
long ago;
And the record’s clear today,
For He washed my sins away,
When the old account was settled
long ago.

2. The old account was large,
And growing ev’ry day,
For I was always sinning,
And never tried to pay;
But when I looked ahead,
And saw such pain and woe,
I said that I would settle,
I settled long ago.

3. When at the judgment bar,
I stand before my King,
And He the book will open,
He cannot find a thing;
Then will my heart be glad,
While tears of joy will flow
Because I had it settled,
And settled long ago.

4. When in that happy home,
My Saviour’s home above,
I’ll sing redemption’s story,
And praise Him for His love;
I’ll not forget that book,
With pages white as snow,
Because I came and settled,
And settled long ago.

5. O sinner, seek the Lord,
Repent of all your sin,
For thus He hath commanded,
If you would enter in;
And then if you should live
A hundred years below,
Up there you’ll not regret it,
You settled long ago.

79 I LOST THE WORLD

1. I lost the world with its sin and shame,
When I found Jesus, O praise His name!
I lost my sorrow, -what blessed loss!
When I found mercy at Calvary’s cross.

I lost the world and the world lost me,
When I found pardon at Calvary;
I lost all my sadness, but I found peace and gladness,
When I lost the world and the world lost me.

2. I lost my love for its gilded toys,
I found the riches of endless joys;
I lost a heart just as hard as stone,
I found a blessing before unknown.

3. I lost a burden of guilt and sin,
I found a rest, perfect rest within;
I lost my blindness and now I see,
Light dawned upon me at Calvary.

4. I lost the fetters that held me fast,
I found a freedom from sin at last;
I lost the world and the world lost me,
Thanks be to Jesus my song shall be.

80 I STAND AMAZED

1. I stand amazed in the presence
Of Jesus the Nazarene,
And wonder how He could love me,
A sinner condemned, unclean.

How marvelous! How wonderful!
And my song shall ever be:
How marvelous! How wonderful!
Is my Savior’s love for me!

2. For me it was in the garden
He prayed, Not my will, but Thine,
He had no tears for His own griefs,
But sweat-drops of blood for mine.

3. In pity angels beheld Him,
And came from the world of light
To comfort Him in the sorrows
He bore for my soul that night.

4. He took my sins and my sorrows,
He made them His very own;
He bore the burden to Calv’ry,
And suffered, and died alone.

5. When with the ransomed in glory
His face I at last shall see,
`Twill be my joy thro’ the ages
To sing of His love for me.

81 JESUS, MY LORD, BEHOLD AT LENGTH THE DAY

1. Jesus, my Lord, behold at length the
day,
When I resolve from sin to turn
away.

O pardon me, Jesus;
Thy mercy I implore;
I will never more offend Thee.
No, never more.

2. Since my poor soul Thy precious
blood has cost,
Suffer it not to be for ever lost.

3. Kneeling in tears, behold me at Thy
feet;
Like Magdalen, forgiveness I
entreat.

82 BECAUSE HE LIVES

1. God sent His son, they called Him Jesus
He came to love, heal and forgive;
He lived and died to buy my pardon,
An empty grave is there to prove
My Saviour lives.

Because He lives, I can face tomorrow
Because He lives all fear is gone;
Because I know He holds the future
And life is worth the living just because He lives.

2. How sweet to hold a new born baby,
And feel the pride and joy he gives;
But greater still the calm assurance
This child can face uncertain days because He lives.

3. And then one day, I’ll cross the river,
I’ll fight life’s final war with pain;
And then, as death gives way to vict’ry,
I’ll see the lights of glory and I’ll know He lives.

83 NO OTHER PLEA

1. My faith has found a resting place,
Not in device nor creed;
I trust the Ever Living One,
His wounds for me shall plead,

I need no other argument,
I need no other plea,
It is enough that Jesus died,
And that He died for me.

2. Enough for me that Jesus saves,
This ends my fear and doubt;
A sinful soul I come to Him,
He’ll never cast me out.

3. My heart is leaning on the Word,
The written Word of God,
Salvation by my Saviour’s name,
Salvation thro’ His blood.

4. My great Physician heals the sick,
The lost He came to save;
For me His precious blood He shed,
For me His life He gave.

84 ROCK OF AGES CLEFT FOR ME

1. Rock of ages cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee;
Let the water and the blood,
From Thy riven side which flowed,
Be of sin the double cure:
Cleanse me from its guilt and power.

2. Not the labour of my hands
Can fulfil thy law’s demands;
Could my zeal no respite know,
Could my tears for ever flow,
All for sin could not atone:
Thou must save, and Thou alone.

3. Nothing in my hand I bring,
Simply to Thy cross I cling;
Naked , come to thee for dress;
Helpless, look to Thee for grace:
Foul, I to the fountain fly;
Wash me, Saviour, or I die.

4. While I draw this fleeting breath,
When my eyelids close in death,
When I soar to worlds unknown,
See Thee on Thy judgment throne,
Rock of ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee.

85 GOD FORGIVES AND FORGETS

1. Praise the Lord there is mercy in heaven,
In that land where sun never sets;
For the Saviour forgives, not as mortals,
But our Jesus forgives and forgets.

He forgives and forgets,
He forgives and forgets,
Not as mortals forgive one another,
But our Jesus forgives and forgets.

2. When we bowed at the footstool of mercy,
When we knocked on the door to get in;
Jesus not only freely did pardon,
But forgave and forgot ev’ry sin.

3. Oft we hear people say, AI’ll forgive you,
But I cannot forget if I tried;
But our Saviour’s own blood sealed our ransom,
To forgive and forget He hath died.

4. When our Book shall be opened for judgment,
May we find there no record of debts;
We’ll not fear if our sins have been pardoned,
For our Jesus forgives and forgets.

86 THE SON HATH MADE ME FREE

1. I was once in Egypt’s bondage,
But deliverance came to me;
And I’m living now in Canaan,
For the Son hath made me free.

I am dwelling now in Canaan, now
in Canaan,
Jesus’ blood avails for me; yes for
me,
I am free from condemnation,
condemnation,
For the Son hath made me free.

2. I was once a slave to Satan,
And he worked his will in me;
But I’m bound by sin no longer,
For the Son hath made me free.

3. Ere I entered into Canaan,
Inbred sin remained in me;
But from it I’ve found a cleansing,
For the Son hath made me free.

4. All my fear, all condemnation,
All stood `twixt God and me;
Praise His name! Are left behind
me
For the Son hath made me free.

87 THAT MAN OF CALVARY

1. Fairest of all the earth beside,
Chiefest of all unto Thy bride,
Fulness divine in Thee I see,
Wonderful Man of Calvary.

That man of Calvary
Has won my heart from me,
And died to set me free,
Blest Man of Calvary!

2. Granting the sinner life and peace,
Granting the captive sweet release,
Shedding His blood to make us
free.
Merciful Man of Calvary

3. Giving the gifts obtained for men,
Pouring out love beyond our ken,
Giving us spotless purity,
Bountiful man of Calvary!

4. Comfort of all my earthly way,
Jesus, I’ll meet Thee some sweet
day;
Centre of glory Thee I’ll see,
Wonderful Man of Calvary!

88 YEARS I SPENT IN VANITY

1. Years I spent in vanity and pride,
Caring not my Lord was crucified,
Knowing not it was for me He died
On Calvary.

Mercy there was great, and grace
was free;
Pardon there was multiplied to me;
There my burdened soul found
liberty,
At Calvary.

2. By God’s word at last my sin I
learned;
Then I trembled at the law I’d
spurned,
Till my guilty soul imploring turned
To Calvary.

3. Now I’ve giv’n to Jesus ev’ry thing;
Now I gladly own Him as my King;
Now my raptured soul can only sing
Of Calvary.

4. Oh, the love that drew salvation’s
plan!
Oh, the grace that bro’t it down to
man!
Oh, the mighty gulf that God did
span
At Calvary.

89 GRACE GREATER THAN ALL OUR SIN

1. Marvelous grace of our loving Lord,
Grace that exceeds our sin and our guilt,
Yonder on Calvary’s mount out poured,
There where the blood of the Lamb was spilt,

Grace, grace, God’s grace,
Grace that will pardon and cleanse within;
Grace, grace, God’s grace,
Grace that is greater than all our sin.

2. Sin and despair like the sea waves cold,
Threaten the soul with infinite loss;
Grace that is greater, yes, grace untold,
Points to the Refuge, the Mighty Cross.

3. Dark is the stain that we cannot hide,
What can avail to wash it away?
Look! There is flowing a crimson tide;
Whiter than snow you may be today.

4. Marvelous, infinite, matchless grace,
Freely bestowed on all who believe,
You that are longing to see His face,
Will you this moment His grace receive?

90 VICTORY IN JESUS

1. I heard an old old story, how a
Saviour came from glory,
How He gave His life on Calvary to
save a wretch like me;
I heard about His groaning, of His
precious blood’s atoning,
Then I repented of my sins and won
the victory.

O victory in Jesus, my Saviour, forever!
He sought me and bought me with
His redeeming blood;
He loved me ere I knew Him, and
all my love is due Him-
He plunged me to victory beneath
the cleansing flood.

2. I heard about His healing, of His
cleansing pow’r revealing,
How He made the lame to walk
again and caused the blind to see;
And then I cried, Dear Jesus, come
and heal my broken spirit.
And somehow Jesus came and
brought to me the victory.

3. I heard about a mansion He has
built for me in glory,
And I heard about the streets of gold
beyond the crystal sea;
About the angels singing, and the
old redemption story,
And some sweet day I’ll sing up
there the song of victory.

91 SINCE JESUS CAME INTO MY HEART

1. What a wonderful change in my life has been wrought
Since Jesus came into my heart!
I have light in my soul for which long I had sought,
Since Jesus came into my heart.

Since Jesus came into my heart !
Since Jesus came into my heart,
Floods of joy o’er my soul like the
sea billows roll,
Since Jesus came into my heart.

2. I have ceased from my wand’ring and going astray
Since Jesus came into my heart!
And my sins, which were many are all washed away,
Since Jesus came into my heart!

3. I’m possessed of a hope that is steadfast and sure:
Since Jesus came into my heart!
And no dark clouds of doubt now my path way obscure,
Since Jesus came into my heart!

4. There’s a light in the valley of death now for me,
Since Jesus came into my heart!
And the gates of the city beyond I can see,
Since Jesus came into my heart!

5. I shall go there to dwell in that City, I know,
Since Jesus came into my heart!
And I’m happy, so happy, as onward I go,
Since Jesus came into my heart!

92 AMAZING GRACE!

1. Amazing grace! how sweet the sound!
That saved a wretch like me:
I once was lost, but now am found;
Was blind, but now I see.

2. `Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
And grace my fears relieved;
How precious did that grace appear,
The hour I first believed!

3. Through many dangers, toils, and snares,
I have already come:
`Tis grace that brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.

4. Yes, when this heart and flesh shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease,
I shall possess within the vail,
A life of joy and peace.

5. When we’ve been there ten thousand years,
Bright shining as the sun;
We’ve no less days to sing God’s grace
Than when we first began.

93 BURDENS ARE LIFTED AT CALVARY

1. Days are filled with sorrow and care,
Hearts are lonely and drear;
Burdens are lifted at Calvary,
Jesus is very near.

Burdens are lifted at Calvary, Calvary, Calvary;
Burdens are lifted at Calvary,
Jesus is very near.

2. Cast your care on Jesus today,
Leave your worry and fear;
Burdens are lifted at Calvary,
Jesus is very near.

3. Troubled soul, the Saviour can see
Ev’ry heartache and tear;
Burdens are lifted at Calvary,
Jesus is very near.

94 TURN YOUR EYES UPON JESUS

1. O soul, are you weary and troubled?
No light in the darkness you see?
There’s light for a look at the
Saviour,
And life more abundant and free!

Turn your eyes upon Jesus,
Look full in His wonderful face;
And the things of earth will grow
strangely dim
In the light of His glory and grace.

2. Thro’ death into life everlasting
He passed, and we follow Him
there;
Over us sin no more hath
dominionFor more than conqu’rors we are!

3. His word shall not fail you- He
promised;
Believe Him, and all will be well:
Then go to a world that is dying,
His perfect salvation to tell!

95 I LAY MY SINS ON JESUS

1. I lay my sins on Jesus,
The spotless Lamb of God;
He bears them all and frees us
From the accursed load.
I bring my guilt to Jesus,
To wash my crimson stains
White in His blood most precious,
Till not a spot remains.

2. I lay my wants on Jesus;
All fulness dwells in Him;
He heals all my diseases,
He doth my soul redeem.
I lay my griefs on Jesus ,
My burdens and my cares;
He from them all releases,
He all my sorrows shares.

3. I rest my soul on Jesus,
This weary soul of mine;
His right hand me embraces,
I on His breast recline,
I love the name of Jesus,
Immanuel, Christ, the Lord;
Like fragrance on the breezes,
His name abroad is poured.

4. I long to be like Jesus,
Meek, loving, lowly, mild,
I long to be like Jesus,
The Father’s holy child,
I long to be with Jesus,
Amid the heavenly throng,
To sing with saints His praises,
To learn the angels’ song.

96 WHEN A SINNER COMES

1. When a sinner comes, as a sinner may,
There is joy,… there is joy;…
When he turns to God in the Gospel way,
There is joy,… there is joy.

There is joy among the angels,
And their hearts with music ring;…
When a sinner comes repenting,
Bending low before our King.

2. When a soul is born in the kingdom bright,
There is joy,… there is joy;…
When it walks by faith in the Gospel light
There is joy,… there is joy.

3. When a pilgrim comes to the river wide,
There is joy,… there is joy;…
When he dwells secure on the other side,
There is joy,… there is joy.

97 SAVED BY THE BLOOD

1. Saved by the blood of the Crucified One!
Now Ransomed from sin and a new work begun,
Sing praise to the Father and praise to the Son,
Saved by the blood of the Crucified One!

Saved!… saved! …
My sins are all pardoned my guilt is all gone!
Saved! … saved! . .
I am saved by the blood of the Crucified One!

2. Saved by the blood of the Crucified One!
The angels rejoicing because it is done;
A child of the Father, joint-heir with the Son,
Saved by the blood of the Crucified One.

3. Saved by the blood of the Crucified One!
The Father He spake, and His will it was done;
Great price of my pardon, His own precious Son;
Saved by the blood of the Crucified One!

4. Saved by the blood of the Crucified One!
All hail to the Father, all hail to the Son,
All hail to the Spirit, the great three in One!
Saved by the blood of the Crucified One!

98 HE BROUGHT ME OUT

1. My heart was distressed `neath Jehovah’s dread frown,
And low in the pit where my sins dragged me down;
I cried to the Lord from the deep, miry clay,
Who tenderly bro’t me out to golden day.

He bro’t me out of the miry clay,
He set my feet on the Rock to stay;
He puts a song in my soul today,
A song of praise, hallelujah.

2. He placed me upon the strong Rock by His side,
My steps were established and here I’ll abide;
No danger of falling while here I remain,
But stand by His grace until the crown I gain.

3. He gave me a song, `twas a new song of praise,
By day and by night its sweet notes I will raise;
My heart’s overflowing, I’m happy and free,
I’ll praise my Redeemer, who has rescued me.

4. I’ll sing of His wonderful mercy to me,
I’ll praise Him till all men His goodness shall see;
I’ll sing of salvation at home and abroad,
Till many shall hear the truth and trust in God.

5. I’ll tell of the pit, with its gloom and despair,
I’ll praise the dear Father, who answered my prayer;
I’ll sing my new song, the glad story of love,
Then join in the chorus with the saints above.

99 HE TOOK MY PLACE

1. A trembling soul, I sought the Lord,
My sins confess’d, my guilt deplor’d;
How soft and sweet His word to me,
`I took thy place, and died for thee.’

No other hope, no other plea;
He took my place, and died for me;
O precious Lamb of Calvary!
He took my place, and died for me.

2. Here rests my heart; assurance sweet
His blessed work He will complete,
Since in His love, so great and free,
He took my place, and died for me.

3. When sorrow veils the smiling day,
When evil foes beset my way,
Abundant grace in Him I see,
He took my place, and died for me.

4. No room for doubt, no room for fears,
When to my view the Cross appears,
My joyful song shall ever be,
He took my place, and died for me.

100 WHEN HE REACHED DOWN HIS HAND FOR ME

1. Once my soul was astray from the
heavenly way,
And was wretched and vile as could
be;-
But my Saviour above, gave me
peace, joy and love,
When He reach’d down His hand
for me.

When He reached down His hand
for me,
When He reach’d down His hand
for me;
I was lost and undone, without God
or His Son,
When He reached down His hand
for me.

2. I was nearing despair, when He
came to me there,
And He showed me that I could be
free;
Then He lifted my feet, gave me
glory complete,
When He reach’d down His hand
for me.

3. How my heart doth rejoice since I
made Him my choice,
From the tempest to Him now I
flee;
Now I lean on His arm, I’m secure
from all harm.
Since He reach’d. down His hand
for me.

4. Since the Lord gave me peace
heav’nly joys never cease,
Lord, I give all my life unto Thee;
Guide my feet, hold my hand, grant
with Thee I may stand.
For you reach’d. down your hand
for me.

101 GLORIOUS FREEDOM

1. Once I was bound by sin’s galling fetters,
Chained like a slave I struggled in vain;
But I received a glorious freedom,
When Jesus broke my fetters in twain.

Glorious freedom, wonderful freedom,
No more in chains of sin I repine!
Jesus the glorious Emancipator,
Now and forever He shall be mine.

2. Freedom from all the carnal affections,
Freedom from envy, hatred and strife;
Freedom from vain and worldly ambitions,
Freedom from all that saddened my life.

3. Freedom from pride and all sinful follies,
Freedom from love and glitter of gold;
Freedom from evil temper and anger,
Glorious freedom, rapture untold.

4. Freedom from fear with all of its torments,
Freedom from care with all of its pain;
Freedom in Christ my blessed Redeemer,
He who has rent my fetters in twain.

102 THOUGH YOUR SINS BE AS SCARLET

1. Tho’ your sins be as scarlet,
They shall be as white as snow;
Tho’ your sins be as scarlet,
They shall be as white as snow;
Tho’ they be red…..like crim-son,
They shall be as wool!
Tho’ your sins be as scarlet,
Tho’ your sins be as scarlet,
They shall be as white as snow,
They shall be as white as snow.

2. Hear the voice that entreats you,

And remember them no more;
He’ll forgive your transgressions,
And remember them no more;
Look unto Me,….ye people,
Saith the Lord your God!
He’ll forgive your transgressions,
He’ll forgive your transgressions,
And remember them no more,
And remember them no more.

4. He can save to the uttermost,
Them that come to God by Him,
He can save to the uttermost,
Them that come to God by Him,
Seeing He lives — for ever,
And He pleads for us
He can save to the utmost
He can save to the utmost
Them that come to God by Him Them that come to God by Him .

5. Unto Him who hath loved us,
And hath washed us from our sins,
Unto Him who hath loved us,
And hath washed us from our sins,
Glory to Him— and honour
Through eternity;
Unto Him who hath loved us,
Unto Him who hath loved us,
And hath washed us from our sins,
And hath washed us from our sins.

103 LOOK AND LIVE

1. Look to Jesus weary one,
Look and live! Look and live!
Look at what the Lord has done,
Look and live! …
See Him lifted on the tree,
Look and live! Look and live!
Hear Him say, ALook unto me!
Look and live!…

Look! The Lord is lifted high:
Look to Him, He is ever nigh:
Look and live why will you die?
Look and live!…

2. Tho’ unworthy, vile, unclean,
Look and live! Look and live!
Look away from self and sin,
Look and live! …
Long by Satan’s power enslaved,
Look and live! Look and live!…
Look to Me, ye shall be saved,
Look and live!…

3. Tho’ you’ve wander’d far away,
Look and live! Look and live!
Harden not your hearts today,
Look and live! …
`Tis thy Father calls thee home,
Look and live! Look and live!
Whosoever will may come,
Look and live!…

104 HE TOUCHED ME

1. Shackled by a heavy burden,
`Neath a load of guilt and shame;
Then the hand of Jesus touched me,
And now I am no longer the same.

He touched me
Oh He touched me, and
Oh the joy that floods my soul;
Something happened, and now I
know,
He touched me and made me
whole.

2. Since I met this blessed Saviour,
Since He cleansed and made me
whole;
I will never cease to praise Him,
I’ll shout it while eternity rolls.

105 UNDER HIS WINGS

1. Under His wings I am safely
abiding;
Though the night deepens and
tempests are wild,
Still I can trust Him- I know He will
keep me;
He has redeemed me, and I am His
child.

Under His wings, under His wings,
Who from His love can sever?
Under His wings my soul shall
abide,
Safely abide for ever.

2. Under His wings, what a refuge in
sorrow!
How the heart yearningly turns to
His rest!
Often when earth has no balm for
my healing,
There I find comfort, and there I am
blest.

3. Under His wings, oh, what precious
enjoyment!
There will I hide till life’s trials are
o’er;
Sheltered, protected, no evil can
harm me;
Resting in Jesus I’m safe evermore.

106 CHRIST JESUS HATH THE POWER

1. Christ Jesus hath the pow’r
The power to forgive,
The pow’r to quicken whom He
will,
And make the sinner live.

hand,
Or rob Him of His sheep!

107 HIS YOKE IS EASY

1. I’ve found my Lord and He is mine,
He won me by His love;
I’ll serve Him all my years of time,
And dwell with Him above.

His yoke is easy, His burden is
light,
I’ve found it so, I’ve found it so:
He leadeth me, by day and by night
Where living waters flow.

2. No other Lord but Christ I know,
I walk with Him alone;
His streams of love forever flow,
Within my heart, His throne.

3. He’s dearer to my heart than life,
He found me lost in sin:
He calmed the sea of inward strife,
And bid me come to Him.

4. My flesh recoiled before the cross,
And Satan whispered there,
AThy gain will not repay the loss,
His yoke is hard to bear.

5. I’ve tried the road of sin and found
Its prospects all deceive;
I’ve proved the Lord and joys
abound,
More than I could believe.

108 I KNOW THAT MY REDEEMER

1. I know that my Redeemer liveth,
And that His throne shall ever stand;
I know eternal life He giveth,
That grace and pow’r are in His hand.

I know I know that Jesus liveth,
And that His throne shall ever stand;
I know, I know that life He giveth,
That grace and pow’r are in His hand.

2. I know His promise never faileth,
The word He speaks, it cannot die;
Tho’ cruel death my flesh assaileth,
Yet I shall see Him by and by.

3. I know my mansion He prepareth,
That where He is, there I may be;
O wondrous tho’t, for me He careth,
And He at last will come for me.

109 HIS EYE IS ON THE SPARROW

1. Why should I feel discouraged,
Why should the shadows come,
Why should my heart be lonely
And long for heav’n and home
When Jesus is my portion?
My constant friend is He:
His eye is on the sparrow,
And I know He watches me;
His eye is on the sparrow,
And I know He watches me.

I sing because I’m happy,
I sing because I’m free,
For His eye is on the sparrow,
And I know He watches me.

2. Let not your heart be troubled,
His tender word I hear,
And resting on His goodness,
I lose my doubts and fears,
Tho’ by the path He leadeth
But one step I may see:
His eye is on the sparrow,
And I know He watches me;
His eye is on the sparrow,
And I know He watches me;

3. Whenever I am tempted,
Whenever clouds arise,
When songs give place to sighing,
When hope within me dies,
I draw the closer to Him,
From care He sets me free:
His eye is on the sparrow,
And I know He cares for me;
His eye is on the sparrow,
And I know He cares for me;

110 HEAVEN CAME DOWN

1. O what a wonderful, wonderful dayDay I will never forget;
After I’d wandered in darkness away,
Jesus my Saviour I met,
O what a tender compassionate friendHe met the need of my heart;
Shadows dispelling with joy I am telling,
He made all the darkness depart!

Heaven came down and glory filled my soul,
When at the cross the Saviour made me whole;
My sins were washed away
And my night was turned to dayHeaven came down and glory filled my soul!

2. Born of the Spirit with life from above
Into God’s fam’ly divine,
Justified fully thru Calvary’s love
O what a standing is mine!
And the transaction so quickly was made
When as a sinner I came,
Took of the offer of grace He did profferHe saved me, O praise His dear name.

3. Now I’ve a hope that will surely endure
After the passing of time;
I have a future in heaven for sure,
There in those mansions sublime.
And it’s because of that wonderful day
When at the cross I believed;
Riches eternal and blessings supernal
From His precious hand I received.

111 CHRIST RECEIVETH SINFUL MEN

1. Sinners Jesus will receive;
Sound this word of grace to all
Who the heav’nly pathway leave,
All who linger, all who fall.

Sing it o’er and o’er again;
Christ receiveth sinful men;
Make the message clear and plain:
Christ receiveth sinful men.

2. Come, and He will give you rest;
Trust Him, for His word is plain;
He will take the sinfulest;
Christ receiveth sinful men.

3. Now my heart condemns me not,
Pure before the law I stand;
He who cleansed me from all spot,
Satisfied its last demand.

4. Christ receiveth sinful men,
Even me with all my sin;
Purged from ev’ry spot and stain,
Heav’n with Him I enter in.

Assurance & Confidence

112 BLESSED ASSURANCE

1. Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine!
O what a foretaste of glory divine!
Heir of salvation, purchase of God,
Born of His Spirit, washed in His blood.

This is my story, this is my song,
Praising my Saviour all the day long;
This is my story, this is my song,
Praising my Saviour all the day long.

2. Perfect submission, perfect delight,
Visions of rapture now burst on my sight;
Angels descending, bring from above
Echoes of mercy, whispers of love.

3. Perfect submission, all is at rest;
I in my Saviour am happy and blest;
Watching and waiting, looking above,
Filled with His goodness, lost in His love.

113 HOW SWEET THE NAME OF JESUS

1. How sweet the name of Jesus
sounds in a believer’s ear;
It soothes his sorrows, heals his
wounds,
And drives away his fear.

2. It makes the wounded spirit whole,
And calms the troubled breast;
`Tis manna to the hungry soul,
And to the weary rest.

3. Dear Name, the Rock on which I
build,
My Shield and Hiding-place,
My never-failing Treasury, filled
With boundless stores of grace.

4. Jesus, my Shepherd, Saviour,
Friend,
My Prophet, Priest, and King,
My Lord, my Life, my Way, my
End,
Accept the praise I bring.

5. I would thy boundless love proclaim
With every fleeting breath;
So shall the music of Thy Name
Refresh my soul in death.

114 IT IS WELL WITH MY SOUL

1. When peace, like a river, attendeth     my way,
When sorrows like sea billows roll;
Whatever my lot, Thou hast taught        me to say,
AIt is well, it is well with my soul.

It is well,………… with my soul……
It is well, it is well with my soul.

2. Tho’ Satan should buffet, tho’ trials
should come,
Let this blest assurance control,
That Christ hath regarded my
helpless estate,
And hath shed His own blood for
my soul.

3. My sin — oh, the bliss of this
glorious thought—–
My sin — not in part, but the whole,
Is nailed to His cross: and I bear it
no more:
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O
my soul.

4. For me, be it Christ, be it Christ
hence to live!
If Jordan above me shall roll.
No pang shall be mine, for in death
as in life
Thou wilt whisper Thy peace to my
soul.

5. But Lord, `tis for Thee, for Thy
coming we wait,
The sky, not the grave, is our goal:
Oh, trump of the angel! Oh, voice of
the Lord!
Blessed hope! Blessed rest of my
soul.

115 STANDING ON THE PROMISES OF GOD

1. Standing on the promises of Christ my King,
Through eternal ages let His praises ring;
Glory in the highest, I will shout and sing,
Standing on the promises of God.

Standing, standing,
Standing on the promises of God my Saviour,
Standing, standing,
I’m standing on the promises of God.

2. Standing on the promises that cannot fail,
When the howling storms of doubt and fear assail,
By the living word of God I shall prevail,
Standing on the promises of God.

3. Standing on the promises I now can see,
Perfect, present cleansing in the blood for me;
Standing in the liberty where Christ makes free,
Standing on the promises of God.

4. Standing on the promises of Christ the Lord,
Bound to Him eternally by love’s strong cord,
Overcoming daily with the Spirit sword,
Standing on the promises of God.

5. Standing on the promises I cannot fall,
Listening every moment to the Spirit’s call,
Resting in my Saviour as my all in all,
Standing on the promises of God.

116 HARK, MY SOUL! IT IS THE LORD

1. Hark, my soul! It is the Lord:
`Tis thy Saviour, hear His word:
Jesus speaks, and speaks to thee
ASay, poor sinner, lov’st thou Me?

2. AI delivered thee when bound,
And, when bleeding, healed thy
wound;
Sought thee wandering, set thee
right;
Turned thy darkness into light.

3. ACan a woman’s tender care
Cease towards the child she bare?
Yes! She may forgetful be;
Yet will I remember thee.

4. AMine is an unchanging love,
Higher than the heights above;
Deeper than the depths beneath,
Free and faithful, strong as death.

5. Thou shalt see My glory soon,
When the work of grace is done;
Partner of My throne shalt be;-
Say, poor sinner, lov’st thou Me?

6. Lord, it is my chief complaint
That my love is weak and faint;
Yet, I love Thee and adore;
Oh for grace to love Thee more.

117 ALL IS WELL

1. Thro’ the love of God, our Saviour, All will be well;
Free and changeless is His favour, All, all is well.
Precious is the blood that healed us; Perfect is the grace that sealed us.
Strong the hand stretched out to shield us, All must be well.

2. Tho’ we pass thro’ tribulation, All will be well;
Ours is such a full salvation, All, all is well.
Happy still in God confiding; Friutful, if in Christ abiding
Holy, thro’ the Spirit’s guiding, All must be well.

3. We expect a bright tomorrow, All will be well;
Faith can sing thro’ days of sorrow, All, all is well.
On our Fa-ther’s love relying, Jesus ev’ry need supplying;
Or in living, or in dying, All must be well.

118 BUT I KNOW WHOM I HAVE BELIEVED

1. I know not why God’s wondrous grace
To me He hath made known,
Nor why, unworthy, Christ in love
Redeemed me for His own.

But I know whom I have believed,
And am persuaded that He is able
To keep that which I’ve committed
Unto Him against that day.

2. I know not how this saving faith
To me He did impart,
Nor how believing in His Word
Wrought peace within my heart.

3. I know not how the Spirit moves
Convincing men of sin,
Revealing Jesus thro’ the Word,
Creating faith in Him.

4. I know not what of good or ill
May be reserved for me,
Of weary ways or golden days
Before His face I see.

5. I know not when my Lord may come,
At night or noon-day fair,
Nor if I’ll walk the vale with Him,
Or meet Him in the air.

119 TRY JESUS

1. You have tried the path of worldly pleasure,
Sought for peace the world can never give;
O be careful where you place your treasure,
You need One to teach you how to live

Try Jesus, He never fails,
O’er evil His love prevails,
In sunshine or stormy gales,
Try Jesus, He never fails.

2. Oft your day begins with seeming gladness,
Hope is high, your heart with joy is light;
Shadows fall and darkness brings you sadness,
You need One to banish fears of night.

3. As you walk alone in silence, thinking,
How you meet with failures on the way;
Ere your soul in deep despair is sinking.
You need One whom winds and waves obey.

4. Time is short, the moments swiftly flying,
Money cannot buy sweet peace within;
You are longing, seeking, groping, sighing,
You need One to cleanse you from your sin.

120 THEN JESUS CAME

1. One sat alone beside the highway begging,
His eyes were blind, the light he could not see;
He clutched his rags and shivered in the shadows,
Then Jesus came and bade his darkness flee.

When Jesus comes the tempter’s pow’r is broken;
When Jesus comes the tears are wiped away.
He takes the gloom and fills the life with glory,
For all is changed when Jesus comes to stay.

2. From home and friends the evil spirits drove him,
Among the tombs he dwelt in misery;
He cut himself as demon pow’rs possessed him,
Then Jesus came and set the captive free.

3. Unclean! unclean! the leper cried in torment,
The deaf, the dumb, in helplessness stood near;
The fever raged, disease had gripped its victim,
Then Jesus came and cast out ev’ry fear.

4. So men today have found the Saviour able,
They could not conquer passion, lust and sin;
Their broken hearts had left them sad and lonely,
Then Jesus came and dwelt Himself within.

121 WILL YOUR ANCHOR HOLD

1. Will your anchor hold in the storms of life?
When the clouds unfold their wings of strife;
When the strong tides lift and the cables strain,
Will your anchor drift, or firm remain?

We have an anchor that keeps the soul
Steadfast and sure while the billows roll;
Fastened to the Rock which cannot move,
Grounded firm and deep in the Saviour’s love!

2. It is safely moor’d, `twill the storm withstand,
For `tis well secured by the Saviour’s hand;
And the cables, pass’d from His heart to mine,
Can defy the blast, thro’ strength divine.

3. It will firmly hold in the straits of fear,
When the breakers have told the reef is near;
Tho’ the tempest rage and the wild winds blow,
Not an angry wave shall our bark o’erflow.

4. It will surely hold in the floods of death,
When the waters cold, chill our latest breath,
On the rising tide it can never fail,
While our hopes abide within the veil.

5. When our eyes behold, thro’ the gathering night,
The city of gold, our harbour bright,
We shall anchor fast by the heav’nly shore,
With the storms all past for evermore.

122 `TIS SO SWEET TO TRUST IN JESUS

1. `Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus,
Just to take Him at His Word;
Just to rest upon His promise;
Just to know, AThus saith the Lord.

Jesus, Jesus, how I trust Him!
How I’ve proved Him o’er and o’er
Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus!
O for grace to trust Him more!

2. O how sweet to trust in Jesus,
Just to trust His cleansing blood;
Just in simple faith to plunge me
`Neath the healing, cleansing flood!

3. Yes, `tis sweet to trust in Jesus,
Just from sin and self to cease;
Just from Jesus simply taking
Life and rest, and joy and peace.

4. I’m so glad I learned to trust Thee,
Precious Jesus, Saviour, Friend;
And I know that Thou art with me,
Wilt be with me to the end.

123 LIKE ZION’S HOLY MOUNT

1. All they who put their trust in God
Can never be removed;
They stand secure like Zion’s
mount,
By many ages proved .

Like the mount of God,
Like the mount of God;
They stand secure like Zion’s
mount,
By many ages proved.
They can never be removed,
removed;
They stand secure like Zion’s
mount,
They can never be removed.

2. As round about Jerusalem
The rugged mountains lie
So round about His holy saints
Our God is ever nigh.

3. Tho’ fierce the storm in fury beat
And awful thunders roar,
The children of the mighty God
Are safe forever more.

4. Thus over-shadowed by His love,
Where harm ca ne’er betide,
Within this refuge safe and sure
I ever would abide.

124 ALL THINGS IN JESUS

1. Friends all around me are trying to
find
What the heart yearns for, by sin
undermined;
I have the secret, I know where `tis
found:
Only true pleasures in Jesus abound.

All that I need is in Jesus,
He satisfies, joy He supplies;
Life would be worthless without
Him,
All things in Jesus I find.

2. Some carry burdens whose weight
has for years
Crushed them with sorrow and
blinded with tears,
Yet One stands ready to help them
just now,
If they will humbly in penitence
bow.

3. No other name thrills the joy-chords
within,
And thro’ none else is remission of
sin;
He knows the pain of the heart
sorely tried,
Both need and want will by Him be
supplied.

4. Jesus is all this poor world needs
today,
Blindly they strive, for sin darkens
their way;
O to draw back the grim curtains of
night,
One glimpse of Jesus and all will be
bright!

125 O HAPPY DAY THAT FIXED MY CHOICE

1. O happy day, that fixed my choice
On Thee, my Saviour and my God!
Well may this glowing heart rejoice,
And tell its raptures all abroad.

Happy day! Happy day!
When Jesus washed my sins away!
He taught me how to watch and
pray,
And live rejoicing every day;
Happy day! Happy day!
When Jesus washed my sins away!

2. `Tis done, the great transaction’s
doneI am my Lord’s and He is mine;
He drew me, and I followed on,
Charmed to confess the voice
divine.

3. Now rest, my long-divided heart,
Fixed on this blissful center, rest;
Nor ever from thy Lord depart,
With Him of every good possessed.

4. High heaven, that heard the solemn
vow,
That vow renewed shall daily hear,
Till in life’s latest hour I bow,
And bless in death a bond so dear.

126 I REJOICED WHEN I HEARD THEM SAY

1. I rejoiced when I heard them say:
Let us go to God’s house
And now our feet are standing
Within your gates, O Jerusalem.

We shall go up with joy to the
house of our God.

2. Jerusalem is built as a city
Strongly compact.
It is there that the tribes go up,
The tribes of the Lord.

3. For Israel’s law it is
There to praise the Lord’s name.
There were set the thrones of
judgement.
Of the house of David

4. For the peace of Jerusalem, pray:
Peace be to your homes!
May peace reign in your walls,
In your palaces, peace!

5. For love of my brethren and friends,
I say: APeace upon you!
For love of the house of the Lord
I will ask for your good.

6. Praise the Father, the Son and Holy
Spirit
Both now and for ever,
The God who is, who was and it to
come
At the end of the ages.

127 THE CHURCH’S ONE FOUNDATION

1. The Church’s one foundation;
Is Jesus Christ her Lord:
She is His new creation
By water and the word;
From heav’n He came and sought
her
To be His holy bride;
With His own blood He bought
her,
And for her life He died.

2. Elect from ev’ry nation,
Yet one o’er all the earth;
Her charter of salvation:
One Lord, one faith, one birth;
One holy name she blesses,
Partakes one holy food,
And to one hope she presses,
With ev’ry grace endued.

3. Though with a scornful wonder
Men see her sore oppressed,
By schisms rent asunder,
By heresies distressed,
Yet saints their watch are keeping.
Their cry goes up, How long?
And soon the night of weeping
Shall be the morn of song.

4. `Mid toil and tribulation,
And tumult of her war,
She waits the consummation
Of peace for evermore.
Till with the vision glorious
Her longing eyes are blest,
And the great Church victorious
shall be the Church at rest.

5. Yet she on earth hath union
With God the Three in One,
And mystic sweet communion
With those whose rest is won.
O happy ones and holy!
Lord, give us grace that we
Like them, the meek and lowly,
On high may dwell with Thee.

Love, Care & Guidance

128 THE LORD’S MY SHEPHERD

1. The Lord’s my Shepherd, I’ll not
want;
He makes me down to lie
In pastures green; He leadeth me
The quiet waters by.

2. My soul He doth restore again,
And me to walk doth make
Within the paths of righteousness,
E’en for His own name’s sake.

3. Yea, though I walk through death’s
dark vale,
Yet will I fear no ill;
For Thou art with me, and Thy rod
And staff me comfort still.

4. My table Thou hast furnished
In presence of my foes
My head Thou dost with oil anoint
And my cup overflows.

5. Goodness and mercy all my life
Shall surely follow me;
And in God’s house for evermore
My dwelling-place shall be.

129 HE `LL NEVER FORGET TO KEEP ME

1. My Father has many dear children;
Will He ever forget to keep me?
He gave His own Son to redeem
them,
And He cannot forget to keep me.

He’ll never forget to keep me,
He’ll never forget to keep me;
He gave His own Son to redeem
me,
And He’ll never forget to keep me.

2. Our Father remembers the
sparrows,
Their value and fall doth He see;
But dearer to Him are His children,
And He’ll never forget to keep me.

He’ll never forget to keep me,
He’ll never forget to keep me;
But dearer to Him are His children,
And He’ll never forget to keep me.

3. The words of the Lord are so priceless,
How patient and watchful is He;
Tho’ mother forget her own offspring,
Yet He’ll never forget to keep me.

He’ll never forget to keep me,
He’ll never forget to keep me;
Tho’ mother forget her own offspring,
Yet He’ll never forget to keep me.

4. O brother, why don’t you accept
Him?
He offers salvation so free;
Repent and believe and obey Him,
And He’ll never forget to keep thee.

He’ll never forget to keep thee, He’ll never forget to keep thee;
Repent and believe and obey Him,
And He’ll never forget to keep thee

130 IN THE HOLLOW OF HIS HAND

1. With my Saviour ever near to guide me,
I am safe, whatever may betide me;
From the storm and tempest He will hide me
In the hollow of His hand!

In the hollow… of His hand!
In the hollow… of His hand!
I am safe whatever may betide me
In the hollow of His hand!

2. In His arms of love He doth enfold
me;
Words of peace His voice divine
hath told me;
I am safe, for God Himself doth o
hold me
In the hollow of His hand!

3. He will guard my soul, and leave
me never;
From His love no power on earth
shall sever;
And I know He’ll keep me now and
ever
In the hollow of His hand!

131 GUIDE ME, O THOU GREAT JEHOVAH

1. Guide me, O Thou Great Jehovah!
Pilgrim thro’ this barren land;
I am weak, but Thou art mighty,
Hold me with Thy pow’rful hand:

Bread of heaven! (2ce)
Feed me now and ever more. (2ce)

2. Open now thou the crystal fountain,
Whence the healing stream doth flow:
Let the fiery, cloudy pillar
Lead me all my journey through:

Strong Deliverer! (2ce)
Be Thou still my strength and shield. (2ce)

3. If I tread the verge of Jordan,
Bid my anxious fears subside:
Bear me through the swelling
torrent,
Land me safe on Canaan’s side:

Songs of praises! (2ce)
I will ever give to Thee. (2ce)

4. Saviour, come! We long to see
Thee,
Long to dwell with Thee above;
And to know in full communion,
All the sweetness of Thy love.

Come, Lord Jesus! (2ce)
Take Thy waiting people
home. (2ce)

132 HE LEADETH ME

1. He leadeth me: O blessed thought!
O words with heav’nly comfort
fraught!
Whate’er I do, where’er I be,
Still `tis God’s hand that leadeth me.

He leadeth me, He leadeth me,
By His own hand He leadeth me;
His faithful follow’r I would be,
For by His hand He leadeth me.

2. Sometimes `mid scenes of deepest
gloom,
Sometimes where Eden’s bowers
bloom
By waters still, o’er troubled sea
Still `tis my God that leadeth me.

3. Lord, I would clasp Thy hand in
mine,
Nor ever murmur nor repine,
Content, whatever lot I see,
Since `tis my God that leadeth me.

4. And when my task on earth is done,
When, by Thy grace, the vict’ry’s
won,
E’en death’s cold wave I will not
flee,
Since God thro’ Jordan leadeth me.

133 SAVIOUR, LIKE A SHEPHERD LEAD US

Much we need Thy tend’rest care;

134 SAVIOUR, LEAD ME LEST I STRAY

1. Saviour, lead me lest I stray,
Gently lead me all the way;
I am safe when by Thy side,
I would in Thy love abide.

Lead me, lead me,
Saviour, lead me lest I stray;
Gently down the stream of time,
Lead me, Saviour, all the way.

2. Thou, the refuge of my soul,
When life’s stormy billows roll;
I am safe when Thou art nigh,
All my hopes on Thee rely.

3. Saviour, lead me then at last,
When the storm of life is past,
To the land of endless day,
Where all tears are wiped away.

In Christ they are Ayea and amen;
Though earth pass away, they ever

`Tis written o’er and o’er again.

control,
`Tis life everlasting begun;
To pluck from His hand the
weakest, trembling soulIt never, never can be done!

136 SWEET IS THE PROMISE

1. Sweet is the promise- AI will not
forget thee,
Nothing can molest or turn my soul
away;
E’en tho’ the night be dark within
the valley,
Just beyond is shining one eternal
day.

thee;
In My hands I’ll hold thee, in My
arms I’ll fold thee;
I… will not forget thee or leave
thee;
I am thy Redeemer, I will care for
thee.

2. Trusting the promise-I will not
forget thee,
Onward will I go with songs of joy
and love;
Tho’ earth despise me, tho’ my
friends forsake me,
I shall be remembered in my home
above.

All my tribulations, all my sorrows
past,
How sweet to hear the blessed
proclamation,
Enter, faithful servant, welcome
home at last!

138 GOT ANY RIVER

1. Be of good courage, God spake unto Joshua,
When o’er the river God pointed the way;
Jordan uncrossable! Things seemed impossible,
Waters divide as they march and obey.

Got any rivers you think are uncrossable?
Got any mountains you can’t tunnel through?
God specializes in things thought impossible,
He does the things others cannot do.

2. Battles to win! They would meet with their obstacles,
Jericho’s walls, too, must fall to the ground,
God never failed; He stood back of His promises,
Walls had to crumble as they marched around.

3. God is the same and His Word is dependable,
He’ll make a way through the waters for you;
Life’s situations by Him are amendable,
Mountains and hills He will part for you too.

139 SAFE IN THE ARMS OF JESUS

1. Safe in the arms of Jesus,
Safe on His gentle breast,
There by His love o’er shaded,
Sweetly my soul shall rest.
Hark! `Tis the voice of angels,
Borne in a song to me,
Over the fields of glory,
Over the jasper sea:

Safe in the arms of Jesus,
Safe on His gentle breast,
There byHis love o’er shaded,
Sweetly my soul shall rest.

2. Safe in the arms of Jesus,
Safe from corroding care,
Safe from the world’s temptations,
Sin cannot harm me there.
Free from the blight of sorrow,
Free from my doubts and fears,
Only a few more trials,
Only a few more tears:

3. Jesus, my heart’s dear refuge,
Jesus has died for me;
Firm on the Rock of Ages,
Ever my trust shall be.
Here let me wait with patience,
Wait till the night is o’er;
Wait till I see the morning
Break on the golden shore:

140 I WILL GUIDE THEE

1. Precious promise God has given
To the weary passer-by,
On the way from earth to heaven
I will guide thee with Mine eye.

I will guide thee, I will guide thee,
I will guide thee with mine eye;
On the way from earth to heaven
I will guide thee with Mine eye

2. When temptations almost win thee,
And thy trusted watchers fly,
Let this promise ring within thee:
I will guide thee with Mine eye.

3. When thy secret hopes have perished
In the grave of years gone by,
Let this promise still be cherished,
I will guide thee with Mine eye.

4. When the shades of life are falling,
And the hour has come to die,
Hear thy trusty Leader calling,
I will guide thee with Mine eye.

141 GOD LEADS US ALONG

1. In shady green pastures, so rich and so sweet,
God leads His dear children along;
Where the water’s cool flow bathes the weary one’s feet,
God leads His dear children along.

Some thro’ the waters, some thro’ the flood,
Some thro’ the fire, but all thro’ the blood;
Some thro’ great sorrow, but God gives a song;
In the night season and all the day long.

2. Sometimes on the mount where the sun shines so bright,
God leads His dear children along;
Sometimes in the valley in the darkest of night,
God leads His dear children along.

3. Tho’ sorrows befall us, and Satan oppose,
God leads His dear children along;
Through grace we can conquer, defeat all our foes,
God leads His dear children along.

God leads His dear children along;
Away up in glory, eternity’s day.
God leads His dear children along.

142 LEAD US, HEAVENLY FATHER, LEAD US

1. Lead us, heavenly Father, lead us
O’er the world’s tempestuous sea:
Guide us, guard us, keep us, feed us,
For we have no help but Thee,
Yet possessing every blessing,
If our God our Father be.

2. Saviour, breathe forgiveness o’er us;
All our weakness Thou dost know;
Thou didst tread this earth before us,
Thou didst feel its keenest woe;
Lone and dreary, faint and weary,
Through the desert Thou didst go.

3. Spirit of our God descending,
Fill our hearts with heavenly joy,
Love with every feeling blending,
Pleasure that can never cloy;
Thus provided, pardoned, guided,
Nothing can our peace destroy.

143 TENDERLY GUIDE US, O SHEPHERD

1. Tenderly guide us, O Shepherd of love,
To the green pastures and waters above,
Guarding us ever by night and by day,
Never from Thee would we stray.

Never! … never! …
Never! Oh, never! For Thou art the way;
Never! … never! …
Never from Thee would we stray.

2. What though the heavens with clouds be o’ercast!-
Fearful the tempest, and bitter the blast!
Still with the light of Thy Word on the way,
Never from Thee would we stray.

3. Over our weakness Thy strength has been cast;
Keep us in meekness Thy own till the last;
Then, safely folded, with joy we shall say,
Never from Thee would we stray.

144 GOD CAN DO ANYTHING BUT FAIL

1. God can do anything, anything, anything,
God can do anything, but fail.

He’s the Alpha and Omega, the
Beginning and the End.
He’s the fairest of ten thousand to
my soul.
God can do anything, anything,
anything,
God can do anything but fail.

2. He can save, He can cleanse, He can keep, and He will,
God can do anything, but fail.

145 I AM SO GLAD THAT JESUS LOVES ME

1. I am so glad that our Father in heaven
Tells of His love in the Book He has given:
Wonderful things in the Bible I see;
This is the dearest, that Jesus loves me.

I am so glad that Jesus loves me,
Jesus loves me, Jesus loves me,
I am so glad that Jesus loves me,
Jesus loves even me.

2. Though I forget Him, and wander away,
Still He doth love me wherever I stray;
Back to His dear loving arms do I flee,
When I remember that Jesus loves me.

3. Oh, if there’s only one song I can sing,
When in His beauty I see the great King,
This shall my song in eternity be,
Oh, what a wonder that Jesus loves me!

4. Jesus loves me, and I know I love Him:
Love brought Him down my poor soul to redeem;
Yes, it was love made Him die on the tree:
Oh, I am certain that Jesus loves me!

5. If one should ask of me, how can I tell?
Glory to Jesus, I know very well!
God’s Holy Spirit with mine doth agree,
Constantly witnessing- Jesus loves me.

6. In this assurance I find sweetest rest,
Trusting in Jesus, I know I am blest;
Satan, dismayed, from my soul now doth flee,
When I just tell him that Jesus loves me.

146 SURELY GOODNESS AND MERCY

1. A pilgrim was I and a wand’ring,
In the cold night of sin I did roam,
When Jesus the kind shepherd found me,
And now I am on my way home.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
All the days, all the days of my life,
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
All the days, all the days of my life,
And I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever,
And I will feast at the table spread for me.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days, all the days of my life.

2. He restoreth my soul when I’m weary,
He giveth me strength day by day,
He leads me beside the still waters,
He guards me each step of the way.

3. When I walk thru that dark lonesome valley,
My Saviour will walk with me there;
And safely His great hand will lead me
To the mansions He’s gone to prepare.

147 NO ONE EVER CARED FOR ME LIKE JESUS

1. I would love to tell you what I think of Jesus
Since I found in Him a friend so strong and true;
I would tell you how He changed my life completely,
He did something that no other friend could do.

No one ever cared for me like Jesus,
There’s no other friend so kind as He;
No one else could take the sin and darkness from me,
O how much He cared for me.

2. All my life was full of sin when Jesus found me,
All my heart was full of misery and woe;
Jesus plac’d His strong and loving arms about me,
And He led me in the way I ought to go.

3. Ev’ry day He comes to with new assurance,
More and more I understand His words of love;
But I’ll never know just why He came to save me,
Till some day I see His blessed face above.

148 PEACE, PERFECT PEACE

1. Peace, perfect peace, in this dark world of sin?
The blood of Jesus whispers peace within.

To do the will of Jesus this is rest.

On Jesus’ bosom naught but calm is found.

4. Peace, perfect peace, with loved ones far away?
In Jesus’ keeping we are safe, and they.

5. Peace, perfect peace, our future all unknown?
Jesus we know, and He is on the throne.

6. Peace! Perfect peace! Death shadowing us and ours?
Jesus has vanquished death and all its powers.

7. It is enough; earth’s struggles soon shall cease?
And Jesus call to heaven’s perfect peace.

149 DOES JESUS CARE

1. Does Jesus care when my heart is pained
Too deeply for mirth and song;
As the burdens press, and the cares distress,
And the way grows weary and long?

O yes, He cares I know He cares!
His heart is touched with my grief;
When the days are weary, the long night dreary,
I know my Saviour cares.

2. Does Jesus care when my way is dark
With a nameless dread and fear?
As the daylight fades into deep night shades,
Does He care enough to be near?

3. Does Jesus care when I’ve tried and failed
To resist some temptation strong;
When for my deep grief I find no relief,
Tho’ my tears flow all the night long?

4. Does Jesus care when I’ve said goodbye
To the dearest on earth to me,
And my sad heart aches till it nearly breaks,
Is it aught to Him? Does He see?

150 LEANING ON THE EVERLASTING ARMS

1. What a fellowship, what a joy divine,
Leaning on the everlasting arms;
What a blessedness, what a peace is mine,
Leaning on the everlasting arms.

Leaning, leaning, safe and secure from all alarms;
Leaning, leaning, leaning on the everlasting arms.

2. Oh, how sweet to walk in this pilgrim way,
Leaning on the everlasting arms;
Oh, how bright the path grows from day to day,
Leaning on the everlasting arms.

3. What have I to dread, what have I to fear,
Leaning on the everlasting arms?
I have blessed peace with my Lord so near,
Leaning on the everlasting arms.

151 ANYWHERE WITH JESUS

1. Anywhere with Jesus I can safely go,
Anywhere He leads me in this world below.
Anywhere without Him dearest joys would fade,
Anywhere with Jesus I am not afraid.

Anywhere, anywhere! Fear I cannot know;
Anywhere with Jesus I can safely go.

2. Anywhere with Jesus I am not alone;
Other friends may fail me, He is still my own,
Tho’ His hand may lead me over drearest ways,
Anywhere with Jesus is a house of praise.

3. Anywhere with Jesus, over land and sea,
Telling souls in darkness of salvation free;
Ready as He summons me to go or stay,
Anywhere with Jesus when He points the way.

4. Anywhere with Jesus I can go to sleep,
When the dark’ning shadows round about me creep,
Knowing I shall waken never more to roam;
Anywhere with Jesus will be home, sweet home.

152 MY FATHER WATCHES OVER ME

1. I trust in God wherever I may be,
Upon the land or on the rolling sea,
For, come what may, from day to
day,
My heav’nly Father watches over
me.

I trust in God, -I know He cares for me,
On mountain bleak or on the stormy sea;
Tho’ billows roll, He keeps my soul,
My heav’nly Father watches over me.

2. He makes the rose an object of His care,
He guides the eagle thru the pathless air,
And surely He remembers me,-
My heav’nly Father watches over me.

3. I trust in God, for, in the lion’s den,
On battle field, or in the prison pen,
Thru praise or blame, thru flood or flame,
My heav’nly Father watches over me.

4. The valley may be dark, the shadows deep,
But O, the Shepherd guards His lonely sheep;
And thru the gloom He’ll lead me home,
My heav’nly Father watches over me.

153 A SHELTER IN THE TIME OF STORM

1. The Lord’s our Rock, in Him we hide,
A shelter in the time of storm;
Secure whatever ill betide,
A shelter in the time of storm.

Oh, Jesus is a Rock in a weary land,
A weary land, a weary land;
Oh, Jesus is a Rock in a weary land,
A shelter in the time of storm.

2. A shade by day, defense by night,
A shelter in the time of storm;
No fears alarm, no foes affright,
A shelter in the time of storm.

3. The raging storms may round us beat,
A shelter in the time of storm;
We’ll never leave our safe retreat,
A shelter in the time of storm.

4. O Rock divine, O Refuge dear,
A shelter in the time of storm;
Be Thou our helper ever near,
A shelter in the time of storm.

Holiness

154 HIGHER GROUND

1. I’m pressing on the upward way,
New heights I’m gaining ev’ry day;
Still praying as I onward bound,

Lord, lift me up and let me stand,
By faith, on heaven’s table land,
A higher plane than I have found;
Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.

Where doubts arise and fears dismay;
Tho’ some may dwell where these abound,
My pray’r, my aim is higher ground.

Tho’ Satan’s darts at me are hurled;
For faith has caught the joyful sound,
The song of saints on higher ground.

And catch a gleam of glory bright;
But still I’ll pray till heav’n I’ve found,
Lord, lead me on to higher ground.

The thing impossible shall be,
All things are possible to me.

Let me no longer live, but Thee;
Give me this hour in Thee to prove
The sweet omnipotence of love.

Sing….it, shout it, loud…and long,

Walking with Jesus in garments of white;
Raiment unsullied, nor tarnished with sin,

Out from the shadows and darkness of night
Into the Canaan of perfect delight.

Abide in Him always, and feed on His Word;
Make friends of God’s children help those who are weak;

3. Take time to be holy, let Him be Thy Guide;
And run not before Him, whatever betide;
In joy or in sorrow still follow thy Lord,
And, looking to Jesus, still trust in His word.

4. Take time to be holy, be calm in thy soul;
Each thought and each temper beneath His control:
Thus led by His Spirit to fountains of love,
Thou soon shalt be fitted for service above.
Consecration & Commitment

161 TAKE THE WORLD

1. Take the world, but give me Jesus,
All its joys are but a name;
But His love abideth ever,
Thro’ eternal years the same.

O the height and depth of mercy!
O the length and breadth of love!
O the fulness of redemption,
Pledge of endless life above!

2. Take the world, but give me Jesus,
Sweetest comfort of my soul;
With my Saviour watching o’er me,
I can sing, though billows roll.

3. Take the world, but give me Jesus,
Let me view His constant smile;
Then throughout my pilgrim
journey
Light will cheer me all the while.

4. Take the world, but give me Jesus
In His cross my trust shall be;
Till, with clearer, brighter vision,
Face to face my Lord I see.

162 TAKE MY LIFE AND LET IT BE

1. Take my life, and let it be
Consecrated, Lord, to thee;
Take my moments and my days,
Let them flow in ceaseless praise.

2. Take my hands, and let them move
At the impulse of Thy love;
Take my feet, and let them be
Swift and beautiful for Thee.

3. Take my voice and let me sing
Always, only for my King;
Take my lips and let them be
Filled with messages from Thee.

4. Take my silver and my gold;
Not a mite would I withhold;
Take my intellect, and use
Every power as Thou shalt choose.

5. Take my will and make it Thine,
It shall be no longer mine:
Take my heart, it is Thine own;
It shall be Thy royal throne.

6. Take my love; my Lord I pour
At Thy feet its treasure–store;
Take myself, and I will be
Ever, only, all for Thee.

163 OH TO BE LIKE THEE

1. O! To be like Thee, blessed Redeemer,
This is my constant longing and prayer;
Gladly I’ll forfeit all of earth’s treasures,
Jesus, Thy perfect likeness to wear.

O! To be like Thee, O! To be like Thee,
Blessed Redeemer, pure as Thou art,
Come in Thy sweetness, come in Thy fulness;
Stamp Thine own image deep on my heart.

2. O! To be like Thee, full of compassion,
Loving, forgiving, tender and kind,
Helping the helpless, cheering the fainting,
Seeking the wand’ring sinner to find.

3. O! To be like Thee, lowly in spirit,
Holy and harmless, patient and brave;
Meekly enduring cruel reproaches,
Willing to suffer, others to save.

4. O to be like Thee, Lord, I am coming,
Now to receive th’ anointing divine,
All that I am and have I am bringing,
Lord, from this moment all shall be Thine.

5. O! To be like Thee, while I am pleading,
Pour out Thy Spirit, fill with Thy love,
Make me a temple meet for Thy dwelling,
Fit me for life and heaven above.

164 AT THE CROSS

1. Alas, and did my Saviour bleed?
And did my Sovereign die?
Would He devote that sacred head
For such a worm as I?

At the cross, at the cross where I first saw the light,
And the burden of my heart rolled away,
It was there by faith I received my sight,
And now I am happy all the day!

2. Was it for crimes that I have done,
He groaned upon the tree?
Amazing pity! Grace unknown!
And love beyond degree!

3. Well might the sun in darkness hide,
And shut his glories in,
When Christ, the mighty Maker, died
For man the creature’s sin.

4. But drops of grief can ne’er repay
The debt of love I owe:
Here, Lord, I give myself away,
`Tis all that I can do!

165 ONCE MORE MY SOUL

1. Once more, my soul, thy Saviour through the word.
Is offered full and free.
And now, O Lord, I must, I must decide:
Shall I accept of thee?

I… will, I… will,
I will, God helping me I will,
O Lord, be thine!
Thy precious blood was shed to purchase me,
I will be wholly Thine.

2. By grace I will thy mercy now receive.
Thy love my heart hath won.
On Thee, O Christ, I will, I will, believe,
And trust in Thee alone.

3. Thou knowest, Lord, how very weak I am,
And how I fear to stray;
For strength to serve, I look to thee aloneThe strength Thou must supply!

4. And now, O Lord, give all with us today
The grace to join our song;
And from the heart to gladly with us say:
I will to Christ belong!

5. To all who came, when Thou wast here below
And said, AO Lord, wilt Thou?
To them, AI will! was ever Thy reply:
We rest upon it now.

166 I MUST NEEDS GO HOME

1. I must needs go home by the way of the cross:
There’s no other way but this;
I shall ne’er get sight of the Gates of Light
If the way of the cross I miss.

The way of the cross leads home,
The way of the cross leads home;
It is sweet to know, as I onward go,
The way of the cross leads home.

2. I must needs go on in the blood sprinkled way,
The path that the Saviour trod,
If I ever climb to the heights sublime,
Where the soul is at home with God.

3. Then I bid farewell to the way of the world,
To walk in it never more,
For my Lord says, Come, and I seek my home,
Where He waits at the open door.

167 I SURRENDER ALL

1. All to Jesus I surrender,
All to Him I freely give;
I will ever love and trust Him,
In His presence daily live.

I surrender all,I surrender all;
All to Thee, my blessed Saviour,
Alt: all I have I give to Jesus
I surrender all.

2. All to Jesus I surrender,
Humbly at His feet I bow;
Worldly pleasures all forsaken,
Take me, Jesus, take me now.

3. All to Jesus I surrender,
Make me, Saviour, wholly Thine;
Let me feel the Holy Spirit,
Truly know that Thou art mine.

4. All to Jesus, I surrender,
Lord, I give myself to Thee;
Fill me with Thy love and power,
Let thy blessing fall on me.

5. All to Jesus I surrender,
Now I feel the sacred flame;
O the joy of full salvation!
Glory, glory to His name!

168 WHEN I SURVEY THE WONDROUS CROSS

1. When I survey the wondrous cross
On which the Prince of glory died,
My richest gain I count but loss,
And pour contempt on all my pride.

2. Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast,
Save in the death of Christ my God:
All the vain things that charm me most,
I sacrifice them to His blood.

3. See, from His head, His hands, His feet,
Sorrow and love flow mingled down;
Did e’er such love and sorrow meet,
Or thorns compose so rich a crown?

4. Were the whole realm of nature mine,
That were an offering far too small;
Love so amazing, so divine,
Demands my soul, my life, my all.

169 INTO THE HEART OF JESUS

1. Into the heart of Jesus, deeper and
deeper I go,
Seeking to know the reason why He
should love me so,
Why He should stoop to lift me up
from the miry clay,
Saving my soul, making me whole,
Tho’ I had wandered away.

2. Into the will of Jesus, deeper and
deeper I go,
Praying for grace to follow, seeking
His way to know,
Bowing in full surrender low at His
blessed feet,
Bidding Him take, break me and
make,
Till I am molded and meet.

3. Into the cross of Jesus, deeper and
deeper I go,
Following thro’ the garden, facing
the dreaded foe,
Drinking the cup of sorrow, sobbing
with broken heart:
O Saviour, help! Dear Saviour,
help!
Grace for my weakness impart.

4. Into the joy of Jesus, deeper and
deeper I go,
Rising with soul enraptured far from
the world below;
Joy in the place of sorrow, peace
in the midst of pain,
Jesus will give, Jesus will give;
He will uphold and sustain.

170 DEEPER, DEEPER IN THE LOVE OF JESUS

1. Deeper, deeper, in the love of Jesus,
Daily let me go;
Higher, higher in the school of wisdom,
More of grace to know.

O deep…er yet I pray…
And high…er every day …
And wis…er, blessed Lord,
In Thy precious, holy word.

2. Deeper, deeper! Blessed Holy Spirit,
Take me deeper still,
Till my life is wholly lost in Jesus
And His perfect will.

3. Deeper, deeper! Though it cost hard trials,
Deeper let me go!
Rooted in the holy love of Jesus,
Let me fruitful grow.

4. Deeper, higher every day in Jesus,
Till all conflict past,
Finds me conqu’ror, and in His own image
Perfected at last.

171 I GAVE MY LIFE FOR THEE

1. I gave My life for thee,
My precious blood I shed,
That thou might’st ransomed be,
And quickened from the dead;
I gave, I gave My life for thee, (2ce)
What hast thou given for me?(2ce)

2. My Father’s house of light,
My glory circled throne,
I left for earthly night,
For wand’rings sad and lone;
I left, I left it all for thee, (2ce)
Hast thou left aught for me?(2ce)

3. I suffered much for thee,
More than thy tongue can tell,
Of bitt’rest agony,
To rescue thee from hell,
I’ve borne, I’ve borne it all for thee, (2ce)
What hast thou borne for me?(2ce)

4. And I have brought to thee,
Down from My home above,
Salvation full and free,
My pardon and My love;
I bring, I bring rich gifts to thee, (2ce)
What hast thou brought to me?(2ce)

172 I AM THINE, O LORD

1. I am Thine, O Lord, I have heard Thy voice,
And it told Thy love to me;
But I long to rise in the arms of faith,
And be closer drawn to Thee.

Draw me nearer, nearer blessed Lord,
To the cross where Thou hast died;
Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer, blessed Lord,
To Thy precious, bleeding side.

2. Consecrate me now to Thy service, Lord,
By the pow’r of grace divine;
Let my soul look up with a steadfast hope,
And my will be lost in Thine.

3. Oh, the pure delight of a single hour,
That before Thy throne I spend,
When I kneel in prayer, and with Thee my God,
I commune as friend with friend!

4. There are depths of love that I cannot know
Till I cross the narrow sea;
There are heights of joy that I may not reach
Till I rest in peace with Thee.

173 FAITH OF OUR FATHERS

1. Faith of our fathers! Living still,
In spite of dungeon, fire, and sword;
O how our hearts beat high with joy
Whene’er we hear that glorious word!
Faith of our fathers, holy faith!
We will be true to Thee till death.

2. Our fathers, chained in prisons dark,
Were still in heart and conscience free;
How sweet would be their children’s fate,
If they like them, could die for Thee!
Faith of our fathers, holy faith!
We will be true to Thee till death.

3. Faith of our fathers! We will strive
To win all nations unto Thee
And through the truth that comes from God
Mankind shall then be truly free:
Faith of our fathers, holy faith!
We will be true to Thee till death.

4. Faith of our fathers! We will love
Both friend and foe in all our strife,
And preach Thee, too, as love knows how
By kindly words and virtuous life:
Faith of our fathers, holy faith!
We will be true to Thee till death.

174 O JESUS I HAVE PROMISED

1. O Jesus I have promised
To serve Thee to the end;
Be Thou for ever near me,
My Master and my Friend!
I shall not fear the battle,
If Thou art by my side;
Nor wander from the pathway,
If Thou wilt be my Guide.

2. Oh, let me feel Thee near me,
The world is ever near;
I see the sights that dazzle,
The tempting sounds I hear:
My foes are ever near me,
Around me and within;
But, Jesus draw Thou nearer,
And shield my soul from sin.

3. Oh, let me hear Thee speaking,
In accents clear and still,
Above the storms of passion,
The murmurs of self-will.
Oh speak, to reassure me,
To hasten or control;
Oh speak, and make me listen,
Thou Guardian of my soul!

4. O Jesus, Thou hast promised
To all who follow Thee,
That where Thou art in glory
There shall Thy servant be!
And Jesus, I have promised
To serve Thee to the end;
Oh, give me grace to follow
My Master and my Friend!

5. Oh, let me see Thy footmarks,
And in them plant mine own;
My hope to follow duly
Is in Thy strength alone.
Oh, guide me, call me, draw me Uphold me to the end,
And then in heaven receive me,
My Saviour and my Friend!

175 NEARER, MY GOD, TO THEE

1. Nearer, my God, to Thee, nearer to Thee!
E’en though it be a cross that raiseth me,
Still all my song shall be,
Nearer, my God, to Thee, nearer to Thee!

2. Though, like the wanderer, the sun gone down,
Darkness be over me, my rest a stone;
Yet in my dreams I’d be
Nearer, my God, to Thee, nearer to Thee.

3. There let my way appear steps unto heaven,
All that Thou sendest me in mercy given;
Angels to beckon me
Nearer, my God to Thee, nearer to Thee.

4. Then, with my waking thoughts, bright with Thy praise,
Out of my stony griefs Bethel I’ll raise;
So by my woes to be,
Nearer, my God to Thee, nearer to Thee.

5. Or if on joyful wing cleaving the sky,
Sun, moon, and stars forgot, upward I fly,
Still all my song shall be,
Nearer, my God, to Thee, nearer to Thee!

176 NEAR THE CROSS

1. Jesus, keep me near the cross,
There a precious fountain;
Free to all a healing stream,
Flows from Calv’ry’s mountain.

In the cross, in the cross
Be my glory ever,
Till my raptured soul shall find
Rest beyond the river.

2. Near the cross, a trembling soul,
Love and mercy found me;
There the Bright and Morning Star
Sheds its beams around me.

3. Near the cross! O Lamb of God,
Bring its scenes before me;
Help me walk from day to day,
With its shadows o’er me.

4. Near the cross I’ll watch and wait,
Hoping, trusting ever;
Till I reach the golden strand,
Just beyond the river.

177 THOU MY EVERLASTING PORTION

1. Thou, my everlasting portion,
More than friend or life to me;
All along my pilgrim journey,
Saviour, let me walk with Thee.

Close to Thee, (4 times)
All along my pilgrim journey,
Saviour, let me walk with Thee.

2. Not for ease or worldly pleasure,
Not for fame my prayer shall be;
Gladly will I toil and suffer,
Only let me walk with Thee.
Close To Thee (4 times)
Gladly will I toil and suffer,
Only let me walk with Thee.

3. Lead me through the vale of shadows,
Bear me o’er life’s fitful sea;
Then the gate of life eternal
May I enter, Lord, with Thee
Close to Thee (4 times)
Then the gate of life eternal
May I enter, Lord, with Thee.

178 THY WILL BE DONE!

1. My God and Father, while I stray Far from my home, on life’s rough way,
Oh, teach me from my heart to say,
Thy will be done!

Thy will be done in me,
This is my earnest plea;
My life, my all, I yield to Thee,
Thy will be done in me.

2. What tho’ in lonely grief I sigh
For friends beloved, no longer nigh;
Submissive still would I reply,
AThy will be done!

3. Renew my will from day to day;
Blend it with Thine; and take away
All now that makes it hard to say,
AThy will be done!

4. Then when on earth I breathe no
more
The prayer oft mixed with tears
before,
I’ll sing upon a brighter shore,
Thy will be done!

179 IS YOUR LIFE A CHANNEL OF BLESSING?

1. Is your life a channel of blessing?
Is the love of God flowing through you?
Are you telling the lost of the Saviour?
Are you ready His service to do?

Make me a channel of blessing today,
Make me a channel of blessing, I pray:
My life possessing, my service blessing.
Make me a channel of blessing today.

2. Is your life a channel of blessing?
Are you burdened for those that are lost?
Have you urged upon those who are
straying,
The Saviour who died on the cross?

3. Is your life a channel of blessing?
Is it daily telling for Him?
Have you spoken the word of
salvation
To those who are dying in sin?

4. We cannot be channels of blessing
If our lives are not free from all
sin;
We will barriers be and a hindrance
To those we are trying to win.

180 I AM DETERMINED TO HOLD OUT

1. When I first found Jesus something o’er me stole,
Like lightning it went through me, and glory filled my soul;
Salvation made me happy and took my fears away,
And when I meet old Satan to Him I always say:

I am determined to hold out to the end,
Jesus is with me, on Him I can depend,
And I know I have salvation, for I feel it in my soul,
I am determined to hold out to the end.

2. Satan, He was angry, said he’d soon be back,
Just let the path get narrow, and he will lose the track;
But I’m so full of glory, my Lord I always find,
And I just say to Satan, Old man, get thee behind.

3. This old time religion makes me sometimes shout,
I don’t have time to gossip nor any time to pout;
They say that I’m too noisy, but when these blessings flow,
I shout, O hallelujah, I want the world to know.

4. When I hear the trumpet sounding in the sky,
And see the mountains trembling, to heaven, I will fly;
For Jesus will be calling, there’ll be no time to mend,
With joy I’ll go up singing, I’ve held out to the end.

181 MORE ABOUT JESUS WOULD I KNOW

1. More about Jesus would I know,
More of His grace to others show;
More of His saving fulness see,
More of His love- who died for me.

More, more about Jesus;
More, more about Jesus;
More of His saving fullness see,
More of His love who died for me.

2. More about Jesus let me learn,
More of His holy will discern;
Spirit of God, my teacher be,
Showing the things of Christ to me.

3. More about Jesus; in His Word
Holding communion with my Lord;
Hearing His voice in every line,
Making each faithful saying mine.

4. More about Jesus, on His throne,
Riches in glory all His own;
More of His kingdom’s sure increase;
More of His coming- Prince of Peace.

182 JESUS, I MY CROSS HAVE TAKEN

1. Jesus, I my cross have taken,
All to leave and follow Thee;
Naked, poor, despised, forsaken,
Thou, from hence, my all shalt be.
Perish every fond ambition,
All I’ve sought, or hoped, or known,
Yet how rich is my condition!
God and heaven are still my own.

2. Let the world despise and leave me,
They have left my Saviour too;
Human hearts and looks deceive me;
Thou art not, like them, untrue.
And while Thou shalt smile upon me,
God of wisdom, love, and might,
Foes may hate, and friends may scorn me;
Show Thy face, and all is bright.

3. Man may trouble and distress me,
`Twill but drive me to Thy breast;
Life with trials hard may press me,
Heaven will bring me sweeter rest.
Oh, `tis not in grief to harm me,
While Thy love is left to me:
Oh, `twere not in joy to charm me,
Were that joy unblest by Thee!

183 CHRISTIANS, WALK CAREFULLY

1. Christian, walk carefully: danger is near!
On in thy journey with trembling and fear;
Snares from without, and temptations within,
Seek to entice thee once more into sin.
Christian, walk carefully: danger is near!

2. Christian, walk cheerfully through the fierce storm,
Dark though the sky with its threats of alarm;
Soon will the clouds and the tempest be o’er,
Then with thy Saviour thou’It rest evermore.
Christian, walk cheerfully: through the fierce storm.

3. Christian, walk prayerfully: oft wilt thou fall,
If thou forget on thy Saviour to call:
Safe thou shalt walk through each trial and care,
If thou art clad in the armour of prayer.
Christian, walk prayerfully: fear lest thou fall.

4. Christian, walk hopefully: sorrow and pain
Cease when the haven of rest thou shalt gain:
Then from the lips of the Judge, thy reward

Enter thou into the joy of thy Lord.
Christian, walk hopefully: rest thou shalt gain.

184 HARK! `TIS THE WATCHMAN’S CRY

1. Hark! `Tis the watchman’s cry,
AWake, brethren, wake!
Jesus Himself is nigh,
Wake, brethren, wake!
Sleep is for sons of night,
Ye are children of the light,
Yours is the glory bright,
Wake, brethren, wake!

2. Call to each wakening band,
AWatch, brethren, watch!
Clear is our Lord’s command,
AWatch, brethren, watch!
Be ye as men that wait,
Ready at their Master’s gate,
E’en though He tarry late,
Watch, brethren, watch!

3. Heed we the Master’s call,
AWork, brethren, work!
There’s room enough for all:
Work, brethren, work!
This vineyard of the Lord
Constant labour doth afford;
Yours is a sure reward,
Work, brethren, work!

4. Hear we the Shepherd’s voice,
APray, brethren, pray!
Would ye His heart rejoice?-
Pray, brethren, pray!
Sin calls for ceaseless care,
Weakness needs the Strong One near;
Long as ye tarry here,
Pray, brethren, pray!

185 I LOVE TO WALK WITH JESUS

1. O I love to walk with Jesus
Like the publican of old,
When He gathered them about Him
And the blessed tidings told;
How He came to bring deliv’rance
To the captives in distress,
Take away our ev’ry burden,
Giving perfect peace and rest

I will follow where He leadeth,
I will pasture where He feedeth
I will follow all the way, Lord,
I will follow Jesus ev’ry day.

2. O I love to walk with Jesus
Like the man of long ago,
Who had tarried by the wayside
Near the gates of Jericho;
Jesus heard his cry for mercy,
Gave him back his sight that day,
And immediately he followed
Jesus all along the way.

3. O I love to walk with Jesus
All the way to Calv’ry’s brow,
Gaze upon that scene of suff’ring,
While my tears of sorrows flow;
There He tells me how He loves me,
Takes my ev’ry sin away;
So I follow Him so gladly,
Lead me anywhere He may.

4. O sometime I’ll walk with Jesus
In the land of endless day,
When our journey here is over
And we’ve reached our home to stay;
Then I’ll walk with Him forever,
Sing His praises o’er and o’er,
Laugh and shout, and ever tell Him
That I love Him more and more.

186 I’D RATHER HAVE JESUS

1. I’d rather have Jesus than silver or gold,
I’d rather be His than have riches untold;
I’d rather have Jesus than houses or lands,
I’d rather be led by His nail-pierced hand.

Than to be the king of a vast domain
And be held in sin’s dread sway;
I’d rather have Jesus than anything
This world affords today.

2. I’d rather have Jesus than men’s applause,
I’d rather be faithful to His dear cause;
I’d rather have Jesus than world-wide fame,
I’d rather be true to His holy name.
1. He’s fairer than lilies of rarest bloom,
He’s sweeter than honey from out the comb;
He’s all that my hungering spirit needs,
I’d rather have Jesus and let Him lead.

187 OBEDIENCE BRINGS A BLESSING

1. Sometimes it seems so very hard to do what God is asking,
It cuts across the grain of selfish pride;
But when we give our all to Him without a reservation,
It brings such peace and joy down deep inside.

Obedience brings a blessing,
Obedience brings a blessing,
It always works: it never fails, I’ve found;
Just daring to step out upon the promises of Jesus,
Will always work; it never fails to
bring the blessing down.

2. Then Jonah heard the voice of God say, Be My missionary,
He tho’t there was no way he could obey;
But when his disobedience caused him lots of pain and trouble,
He found it was not hard to go God’s way.

3. Don’t let your life become so crowded with the task of living,
That you have no time left to seek the Lord;
Don’t let Him have to slow you down to get His message to you,
Obedience always brings its own reward.

Evangelism

188 BRINGING IN THE SHEAVES

1. Sowing in the morning, sowing seeds of kindness,
Sowing in the noon tide and the dewy eves;
Waiting for the harvest and the time of reaping,
We shall come rejoicing, bringing in the sheaves.

Bringing in the sheaves, }
Bringing in the sheaves, }2ce
We shall come rejoicing, bringing in the sheaves. }

2. Sowing in the sunshine, sowing in the shadows,
Fearing neither clouds nor winter’s chilling breeze;
By and by the harvest, and the labor ended.
We shall come rejoicing, bringing in the sheaves.

3. Go then ever, weeping, sowing for the Master,
Tho’ the loss sustained our spirit is often grieves;
When our weeping’s over, He will bid us welcome.
We shall come rejoicing, bringing in the sheaves.

189 BRING THEM IN

1. Hark! `tis the shepherd’s voice I hear,
Out in the desert dark and drear,
Calling the sheep who’ve gone astray,
Far from the shepherd’s fold away,

Bring them in, bring them in,
Bring them in from the fields of sin;
Bring them in, bring them in,
Bring the wandering ones to Jesus.

2. Who `ll go and help this Shepherd kind,
Help Him the wandering ones to find?
Who `ll bring the lost ones to the fold.
Where they `ll be sheltered from the cold.

3. Out in the desert hear their cry.
Out on the mountains wild and high.
Hark! `tis the Master speaks to thee,
Go find my sheep where-e’er they be.

190 WIN THEM ONE BY ONE

1. If to Christ our only King
Men redeemed we strive to bring,
Just one way may this be done

We must win them one by one.

So you bring the one next to you,
And I’ll bring the one next to me;
In all kinds of weather, we’ll all
work together,
And see what can be done;
If you’ll bring the one next to you,
And I bring the one next to me,
In no time at all we’ll have them
all,
So win them, win them one by one.

2. Side by side we stand each day,
Saved are we, but lost are they;
They will come if we but dare
Speak a word backed up by prayer.

3. Only cowards dare refuse,
Dare this gift of God mis-use;
Ere some friends goes to his grave,
Speak a word his soul to save.

4. Not for hope of great reward
Turn men’s hearts unto the Lord;
Just to see a saved man smile
Makes the effort well worth while.

191 BRIGHTEN THE CORNER WHERE YOU ARE

1. Do not wait until some deed of
greatness you may do,
Do not wait to shed your light afar;
To the many duties ever near you
now be true,
Brighten the corner where you are.

Brighten the corner where you are!
Brighten the corner where you are!
Someone far from harbour you may
guide across the bar,
Brighten the corner where you are.

2. Just above are clouded skies that
you may help to clear,
Let not narrow self your way debar;
Tho’ into one heart alone may fall
your song of cheer,
Brighten the corner where you are.

3. Here for all your talent you may
surely find a need,
Here reflect the Bright and Morning
Star;
Even from your humble hand the
bread of life may feed,
Brighten the corner where you are.

192 TILL THE WHOLE WORLD KNOWS

1. I’ll tell to all that God is love;
For the world has never known
The great compassion of His heart
For the wayward and the lone.

Till the whole world knows,
Till the whole world knows,
I will shout and sing of Christ my King,
Till the whole world knows.

2. I’ll tell of mercy’s boundless tide,
Like the waters of the sea,
That covers ev’ry sin of man;
`Tis salvation full and free.

3. I’ll tell of grace that keeps the soul,
Of abiding peace within,
Of faith that overcomes the world,
With its tumult and its din.

4. Eternal glory is the goal
That awaits the sons of light;
Eternal darkness, black as death,
For the children of the night.

193 HOW SHALL THEY HEAR?

1. How shall they hear, who’ have not heard
News of a Lord who loved and came;
Nor known his reconciling word,
Nor learned to trust a Saviour’s name?

2. To all the world, to every place,
Neighbours and friends far-off lands,
Preach the good news of saving grace;
Go while the great commission stands.

3. Whom shall I send? who hears the call,
Constant in prayer, through toil and pain,
Telling of one who died for all,
To bring a lost world home again?

4. ALord: here am I: Your firm impart
To this poor cold self-centred soul:
Touch but my lips, my hands, my heart,
And make a world for Christ my goal.

5. Spirit of love, within us move;
Spirit of truth, in power come down!
So shall they hear and find and prove
Christ is their life, their joy, their crown.

194 I LOVE TO TELL THE STORY

1. I love to tell the story
Of unseen things above,
Of Jesus and His glory,
Of Jesus and His love.
I love to tell the Story,
Because I know `tis true;
It satisfies my longings
As nothing else can do.

I love to tell the Story!
`Twill be my theme in glory,
To tell the Old-Old story,
Of Jesus and His love.

2. I love to tell the Story:
More wonderful it seems
Than all the golden fancies
Of all our golden dreams.
I love to tell the Story
It did so much for me;
And that is just the reason
I tell it now to thee.

3. I love to tell the Story:
`Tis pleasant to repeat
What seems, each time I tell it,
More wonderfully sweet.
I love to tell the Story:
For some have never heard
The message of salvation
From God’s own Holy Word.

4. I love to tell the Story:
For those who know it best
Seem hungering and thirsting
To hear it like the rest.
And when, in scenes of glory,
I sing the new, new song,
`Twill be the old, old Story.
That I have loved so long.

195 CHRIST HATH REDEEMED

1. Christ hath redeemed us: sing the glad word!
Mercy’s sweet, message be telling.
How, through the ransom made by His blood,
Christ now within us is dwelling.

Christ hath redeemed us: Praise to His name!
Praise Him, ye angels in glory!
Christ hath redeemed us, bearing our shame;
Tell out the wonderful story!

2. Christ hath redeemed us: making us free,
Free from the sins that enslaved us;
Never in bondage more can we be,
Trusting in Him who hath saved us.

3. Christ hath redeemed us: we are His own,
Purchased by blood – He will hold us;
Nor will He ever leave us alone,
Safely His arms shall enfold us.

4. Christ hath redeemed us: soon with the throng
Gathered in glory we’ll meet Him;
Oh, with what rapture join in the song,
When face to face we shall greet Him!

The Holy Spirit

196 OF GIFTS AND POW’RS

1. Of gifts and pow’rs miraculous
Endowments rare we sing,
Equipment of anointed hearts
Shed forth by Christ the King,
Design’d from heaven God’s light and pow’r
To helpless earth to bring.

2. O blest diversity of gifts,
The Spirit’s Super-Sense
Strong currents of Infinity,
Gleams of Omniscience,
Outpourings of Almightiness,
That Risen Hands dispense!

3. O blessed proofs of living love
In Apostolic days,
Rejected long by formal minds

Now, to God’s endless praise,
Re-risen in this later age
Like dawn’s returning blaze!

4. Shine forth in richer radiance,
Break out in rarer might,
In miracles and mighty signs,
In this earth’s darkling night,
That once again Thy Church may be
Victorious in the fight.

5. O may Thy members, Mighty Christ,
Most earnestly desire,
Most covetously thirst once more,
Most fervently aspire,
Till each arises furnished new
With ministries of fire!

6. Shall we neglect God’s glorious plan
His gospel to speed?
Shall we despise rear instruments
Of evangelic deed?
Lord, once again give gifts to men
In this late hour of need.

197 WITH SIGNS FOLLOWING

1. When first the risen Lord of pow’r
His chosen ones sent forth,
A charge He gave that solemn hour,
To preach His saving worth.
Go ye, said He, to all mankind;
Declare My Word, and ye shall find:
These signs shall surely follow them
Who on My Name believe.

2. No demon shall before them stand,
No poison do them harm;
Nor subtle serpent in their hand
Cause pain or dread alarm.
For Satan’s kingdom He o’ercame,
To give His people right to claim:
These signs shall surely follow them
Who on My Name believe.

3. They shall with other tongues declare
The wonders of their God;
The sick beneath their hands by prayer,
Shall rise, to prove My Word,
So let it be! Firm as His throne
Stands this clear promise to His own:
These signs shall surely follow them
Who on My Name believe.

4. Crowned with the flame of Pentecost,
A faithful, fearless band
Proclaimed His Name a ransomed host
Arose from every land.
The Lord worked with them from on High,
His proven Word could none deny:
These signs shall surely follow them
Who on My Name believe.

5. No word of Thine is void of power;
No promise, Lord, is vain.
Be this a Pentecostal hourConfirm Thy Word again!
Nor can’st Thou fail! Thou art the same
As when of old Thou did’st proclaim:
These signs shall surely follow them
Who on My Name believe.

198 BRING YOUR VESSELS NOT A FEW

1. Are you looking for the fullness of
the blessing of the Lord
In your heart and life today?
Claim the promise of your Father,
come according to His word,
In the blessed old time way.

He will fill your heart today to over flowing,
As the Lord commandeth you,
Bring your vessels, not a few,
He will fill your heart today to over flowing
With the Holy Ghost and pow’r.

2. Bring your empty earthen vessels,
clean thro’ Jesus precious blood,
Come, ye needy, one and all;
And in human consecration wait
before the throne of God.
Till the Holy Ghost shall come.

3. Like the cruise of oil unfailing is
His grace for ever more,
And His love unchanging still;
And according to His promise with
the Holy Ghost and pow’r,
He will every vessel fill.

199 JOYS ARE FLOWING LIKE A RIVER

1. Joys are flowing like a river,
Since the Comforter has come;
He abides with us for ever,
Makes the trusting heart His home.

Blessed quietness, holy quietness,
What assurance in my soul!
On the stormy sea, He speaks peace to me
How the billows cease to roll.

2. Bringing life, and health and gladness,
All around this heav’nly Guest,
Banished unbelief and sadness,
Changed our weariness to rest.

3. Like the rain that falls from heaven,
Like the sunlight from the sky,
So the Holy Ghost is given,
Coming on us from on high.

4. See, a fruitful field is growing,
Blessed fruit of righteousness;
And the streams of life are flowing
In the lonely wilderness.

5. What a wonderful salvation,
Where we always see His face!
What a perfect habitation,
What a quiet resting place!

200 COME, HOLY GHOST CREATOR COME

1. Come, Holy Ghost, Creator, come
From Thy bright heavenly throne,
Come, take possession of our souls,
And make them all thy own.

2. Thou who art called the Paraclete,
Best gift of God above,
The Living Spring, the Living Fire,
Sweet unction and true love.

3. Thou who are sev’n fold in thy grace,
Finger of God’s right hand;
His promise, teaching little ones,
To speak and understand.

4. O guide our minds with thy blest light,
With love our hearts inflame;
And with thy strength which ne’er decays
Confirm our mortal frame.

5. Far from us drive our deadly foe;
True peace unto us bring;
And through all perils lead us safe,
Beneath thy sacred wing.

6. Through Thee may we the Father know,
Through Thee th’eternal Son,
And Thee the Spirit of them both,
Thrice- blessed Three in One.

7. All glory to the Father be,
With His co-equal Son,
The same to thee, great Paraclete,
While endless ages run.

201 GIVE ME A DOUBLE PORTION

1. Long ago in days of old, stood a man of God we’re told,
As he talked to Elijah that day;
His request he did repeat, standing at Elijah’s feet,
A double portion I can hear him say.

Give me, Lord, a double portion, pour Thy Spirit on me,
Thru eyes of faith Thy wondrous works I can see;c
But I need Thy helping hand, in this troubled, sinful land,
Give me, Lord, a double portion from Thee.

2. As Elijah stood that day, to Elisha, he did say,
Ask me what I shall do unto thee
And Elisha then replied, walking at Elijah’s side,
A double portion, let it fall on me.

3. Lord, I always to Thee pray, just for strength from day to day,
But I see there’s so much to be done,
That I have to kneel anew and this favour ask of you,
A double portion this fight must be won.

202 THERE SHALL BE SHOWERS OF BLESSING

1. There shall be showers of blessing:
This is the promise of love;
There shall be seasons refreshing,
Sent from the Saviour above.

Showers of blessing,
Showers of blessing we need;
Mercy drops round us are falling,
But for the showers we plead.

2. There shall be showers of blessing:—
Precious reviving again;
Over the hills and the valleys,
Sound of abundance of rain.

3. There shall be showers of blessing:
Send them upon us, O Lord!
Grant to us now a refreshing;
Come, and now honour Thy Word.

4. There shall be showers of blessing:
Oh, that today they might fall,
Now, as to God we `re confessing,
Now as on Jesus we call!

5. There shall be showers of blessing,
If we but trust and obey;
There shall be seasons refreshing,
If we let God have His way.

203 THE COMFORTER HAS COME

1. O spread the tidings `round, wherever man is found,
Wherever human hearts and human woes abound;
Let every Christian tongue proclaim the joyful sound:
The Comforter has come!

The Comforter has come,
The Comforter has come!
The Holy Ghost from Heav’n,
The Father’s promise giv’n;
O spread the tidings `round,
Wherever man is foundThe Comforter has come!

2. The long, long night is past, the morning breaks at last,
And hushed the dreadful wail and fury of the blast,
As o’er the golden hills the day advances fast!
The Comforter has come!

3. Lo, the great King of kings, with healing in His wings,
To ev’ry captive soul a full deliv’rance brings;
And thro’ the vacant cells the song of triumph rings;
The Comforter has come!

O boundless love divine! how shall this tongue of mine
To wond’ring mortals tell the matchless grace divine,
That I, a child of hell, should in His image shine!
The Comforter has come!

204 WAITING ON THE LORD

1. Waiting on the Lord, for the promise given;
Waiting on the Lord to send from heaven;
Waiting on the Lord, by our faith receiving;
Waiting in the upper room.

The power! The power!
Gives vict’ry over sin and purity within;
The power! The power!
The power they had at Pentecost.

2. Waiting on the Lord, giving all to Jesus;
Waiting on the Lord, till from sin He frees us;
Waiting on the Lord for the heav’nly breezes;
Waiting in the upper room.

3. Waiting on the Lord, longing to mount higher;
Waiting on the Lord, having great desire;
Waiting on the Lord for heav’nly fire;
Waiting in the upper room.

205 COME, THOU ALMIGHTY KING

1. Come, Thou Almighty King,
Help us your name to sing.
Help us to praise!
Father all-glorious,
O’er all victorious
Come and reign over us,
Ancient of Days.

2. Come, Thou incarnate Word,
Gird on Thy mighty sword:
Our prayer attend;
Come and Thy people bless,
And give Thy Word success;
Spirit of holiness,
On us descend!

3. Come, Holy Comforter,
Your sacred witness bear.
In this glad hour;
Thou who almighty art,
Now rule in every heart,
And ne’er from us depart,
Spirit of power!

4. To you, great One in Three,
The highest praises be,
Hence, ever more!
Your sovereign majesty
May we in glory see.
And to eternity
Love and adore.

206 GOD IS HERE, AND THAT TO BLESS US

1. God is here, and that to bless us.
With the Spirit’s quickening power;
See the cloud already bending,
Waits to drop the graceful shower.

Let it come, O Lord, we pray Thee,
Let the shower of blessing fall;
We are waiting, we are waiting,
Oh, revive the hearts of all.

2. God is here! We feel his presence
In this consecrated place;
But we need the soul refreshing
Of His free unbounded grace.

3. God is here! Oh, then, believing,
Bring to Him our one desire;
That His love may now be kindled,
Till its flame each heart inspire.

4. Saviour, grant the prayer we offer,
While in simple faith we bow,
From the windows of Thy mercy
Pour us out a blessing now.

207 SPIRIT OF GOD

1. Spirit of God in the clear running waters,
Blowing to greatness the trees on the hill,
Spirit of God in the finger of morning,

Fill the earth, bring it to birth and
blow where you will,
Blow, blow, blow till I be but
breath of the Spirit blowing in me.

2. I saw the scar of a year that lay dying,
Heard the lament of a lone whip-poor-will,
Spirit of God, see that cloud crying,

208 SPIRIT DIVINE! ATTEND OUR PRAYERS

1. Spirit divine! attend our prayers,
And make our hearts Thy home;
Descend with all Thy gracious powers
Oh come, great Spirit, come!

2. Come as the light- to us reveal
Our emptiness and woe;
And lead us in those paths of life
Where all the righteous go.

3. Come as the fire- and purge our hearts,
Like sacrificial flame;
Let our whole soul an offering be
To our Redeemer’s name.

4. Come as the dew- and sweetly bless
This consecrated hour;
May barrenness rejoice to own
Thy fertilising power.

5. Come as the dove- and spread Thy wings,
The wings of peaceful love;
And let Thy church on earth become
Blest as the church above.

6. Come as the wind- with rushing sound
And Pentecostal grace;
That all of woman born may see
The glory of Thy face.

209 COME, HOLY GHOST, OUR HEARTS INSPIRE

1. Come, Holy Ghost, our hearts inspire;
Let us Thine influence prove,
Source of the old prophetic fire,
Fountain of light and love.

2. Come, Holy Ghost, for, moved by Thee,
The prophets wrote and spoke;
Unlock the truth, Thyself the Key,
Unseal the sacred book.

3. Expand thy wings, celestial Dove,
Brood o’er our nature’s night;
On our disordered spirits move,
And let there now be light.

4. God, through Himself, we then shall know,
If Thou within us shine;
And sound, with all Thy saints below,
The depths of love divine.

  Christian Life, Service & Reward

210 TO THE WORK

1. To the work! To the work! we are servants of God,
Let us follow the path that our Master has trod;
With the balm of His counsel our strength to renew,
Let us do with our might what our hands find to do.

Toiling on, toiling on,
Toiling on, toiling on,
Let us hope, Let us watch,
And labour till the Master comes.

2. To the work! To the work! let the hungry be fed,
To the fountain of life let the weary be led!
In the cross and its banner our glory shall be,
While we herald the tidings, Salvation is free!

3. To the work! To the work! there is labour for all,
For the kingdom of darkness and error shall fall:
And the name of Jehovah exalted shall be,
In the loud-swelling chorus, Salvation is free!

4. To the work! To the work! in the strength of the Lord,
And a robe and a crown shall our labour reward,
When the home of the faithful our dwelling shall be,
And we shout with the ransomed, Salvation is free!

211 MUST I GO AND EMPTY-HANDED?

1. Must I go, and empty–handed,
Thus my dear Redeemer meet?
Not one day of service give Him,
Lay no trophy at His feet?

Must I go, and empty-handed?
Must I meet my Saviour so?
Not one soul with which to greet Him:
Must I empty-handed go?

2. Not at death I shrink or falter,
For my Saviour saves me now;
But to meet Him empty-handed,
Thought of that now clouds my brow.

3. O the years in sinning wasted,
Could I but recall them now,
I would give them to my Saviour,
To His will I’ d gladly bow.

4. O ye saints, arouse, be earnest,
Up and work while yet `tis day;
Ere the night of death o’er take thee,
Strive for souls while still you may.

212 RESCUE THE PERISHING

1. Rescue the perishing,
Care for the dying,
Snatch them in pity from sin and the grave;
Weep o’ver the erring one,
Lift up the fallen,
Tell them of Jesus, the mighty to save.

Rescue the perishing,
Care for the dying;
Jesus is merciful,
Jesus will save.

2. Though they are slighting Him,
Still He is waiting,
Waiting the penitent child to receive.
Plead with them earnestly,
Plead with them gently;
He will forgive if they only believe.

3. Down in the human heart,
Crushed by the tempter,
Feelings lie buried that grace can restore;
Touched by a loving hand,
Wakened by kindness,
Chords that were broken will vibrate once more.

4. Rescue the perishing,
Duty demands it;
Strength for thy labour the Lord will provide;
Back to the narrow way
Patiently win them;
Tell the poor wanderer a Saviour has died.

213 I’LL GO

1. The harvest call comes o’er the
wave,
I’ll go, I’ll go;
And seek some struggling soul to
save,
I’ll go, I’ll go.

I’ll go,
And press the fight,
Against the foe;
I’ll spread the gospel light,
I’ll go, I’ll go.

2. The harvest calls, the fields are
white,
I’ll go, I’ll go;
And labour there for God and right,
I’ll go, I’ll go.

3. Lost souls are wand’ring in the
night,
I’ll go, I’ll go
And strive to lead them to the light.
I’ll go, I’ll go.

214 GO, LABOUR ON,

1. Go, labour on, spend and be spent,
Thy joy to do the Father’s will;
It is the way the Master went,
Should not the servant tread it still?

2. Go labour on; `tis not for nought,
Thy earthly loss is heavenly gain;
Men heed thee, love thee, praise thee not,
The Master praises: what are men?

3. Men die in darkness at your side,
Without a hope to cheer the tomb;
Take up the torch, and wave it wide,
The torch that lights time’s thickest gloom.

4. Toil on, and in thy toil rejoice,
For toil comes rest, for exile home;
Soon shalt thou hear the Bride-groom’s voice,
The midnight peal, Behold, I come!

215 WILL JESUS FIND US WATCHING?

1. When Jesus comes to reward His servants,
Whether it be noon or night,
Faithful to Him will He find us watching,
With our lamps all trimmed and bright?

Oh, can we say we are ready, brother?
Ready for the souls bright home?
Say, will He find you and me still watching,
Waiting, waiting when the Lord shall come?

2. If, at the dawn of the early morning,
He shall call us one by one,
When to the Lord we restore our talents,
Will He answer thee, AWell done?

3. Have we been true to the trust He left us?
Do we seek to do our best?
If in our hearts there is naught condemn us,
We shall have a glorious rest.

4. Blessed are those whom the Lord finds watching,
In His glory they shall share;
If He shall come at the dawn or midnight,
Will He find us watching there?

216 CALL FOR WORKERS

1. In the vineyard of the Lord,
There is work for all to do;
Will you go and work today,
With a purpose strong and true?

Heed the call, brother dear,
For workers today;
Let your eyes see the need
Of workers, today.

2. Brother, sister, hear the call!
All along, your aid afford;
Let us strive to save the lost
Strive to save by work and word.

3. Mark the spirit’s direful fate,
Wheresoever sin is found;
Come, and lend a helping hand,
Let the shackles be unbound.

4. Oh, for workers strong and brave,
Who will lift the banner high;
So the lost can see the way,
To the mansions in the sky.

217 FADING AWAY

1. Fading away like the stars of the morning,
Losing their light in the glorious sun
Thus would we pass from the earth and its toiling,
Only remembered by what we have done.

Only remembered, only remembered,
Only remembered by what we have done;
Thus would we pass from the earth and its toiling,
Only remembered by what we have done.

2. Shall we be missed, though by others succeeded,
Reaping the fields we in spring-time have sown?
Yes, but the sowers must pass from their labours,
Ever remembered by what they have done.

3. Only the truth that in life we have spoken,
Only the seed that on earth we have sown;
These shall pass onward when we are forgotten,
Fruits of the harvest and what we have done.

4. Oh, when the Saviour shall make up His jewels,
When the crowns of rejoicing are won,
Then shall His weary and faithful disciples
All be remembered by what they have done.

218 LORD SPEAK TO ME THAT I MAY SPEAK

1. Lord, speak to me that I may speak
In living echoes of Thy tone;
As Thou has sought so let me seek
Thy erring children, lost and lone.

2. Oh, lead me, Lord, that I may lead
The wandering and the wavering
feet;
O feed me, Lord, that I may feed
Thy hungering ones with manna
sweet.

3. Oh, strengthen me, that while I
stand
Firm on the Rock and strong in
Thee,
I may stretch out a loving hand
To wrestlers with the troubled sea.

4. Oh, teach me, Lord, that I may
teach,
The precious things Thou dost
impart;
And wing my words, that they may
reach
The hidden depths of many a heart.

5. Oh, give Thine own sweet rest to
me,
That I may speak with soothing
power
A word in season, as from Thee.
To weary ones in needful hour.

6. O fill me with Thy fulness, Lord,
Until my very heart o’er flow;
In kindling tho’t and glowing word,
Thy love to tell, Thy praise to show.

7. Oh, use me, Lord, use even me,
Just as Thou wilt, and how, and
where;
Until Thy blessed face I see,
Thy rest, Thy joy, Thy glory share.

219 WILL THERE BE ANY STARS?

1. I am thinking today of that beautiful
land
I shall reach when the sun goeth
down;
When thro’ wonderful grace by my
Saviour I stand,
Will there be any stars in my
crown?

Will there be any stars, any stars in
my crown,
When at evening the sun goeth
down?….
When I wake with the blest in the
mansions of rest,
Will there be any stars in my
crown?….

2. In the strength of the Lord let me
labour and pray,
Let me watch as a winner of souls;
That bright stars may be mine in the
glorious day,
When His praise like the sea-billow
rolls.

3. Oh, what joy it will be when His
face I behold,
Living gems at His feet to lay down;
It would sweeten my bliss in the city
of gold,
Should there be any stars in my
crown.

220 SO SEND I YOU

1. So send I you to labour unrewarded
To serve unpaid, unloved, unsought, unknown,
To bear rebuke, to suffer scorn and scoffing
So send I you- to toil for me alone.

As the Father hath sent me,
So send I you

2. So send I you-to bind the bruised and broken,
O’er wand’ring souls to work, to weep, to wake,
To bear the burdens of a world a-weary
So send I you to suffer for my sake.

3. So send I you- to loneliness and longing
With heart a-hung’ring for the loved and known,
Forsaking home and kindred, friend and dear one
So send I you-to know My love alone.

4. So send I you- to leave your life’s ambition,
To die to dear desire, self-will resign,
To labour long and love where men revile you
So send I you-to loose your life in Mine.

5. So send I you- to hearts made hard by hatred,
To eyes made blind because they will not see,
To spend, tho’ it be blood to spend and spare not
So send I you- to taste of Calvary.

221 COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS

1. When upon life’s billows you are tempest toss’d,
When you are discouraged thinking all is lost,
Count your many blessings, name them one by one
And it will surprise you what the Lord hath done.

Count your blessings, name them one by one,
Count your blessings, see what God hath done;
Count your blessings, name them one by one,
And it will surprise you what the Lord hath done.

2. Are you ever burden’d with a load of care?
Does the cross seem heavy you are called to bear?
Count your many blessings, ev’ry doubt will fly,
And you will be singing as the days go by.

3. When you look at others with their lands and gold,
Think that Christ has promised you His wealth untold,
Count your many blessings, money cannot buy
Your reward in heaven, nor your home on high.

4. So amid the conflict, whether great or small,
Do not be discouraged, God is over all,
Count your many blessings, angels will attend,
Help and comfort give you to your journey’s end.

222 O WATCHMAN ON THE MOUNTAIN HEIGHT

1. O Watchman on the mountain height,
Proclaim the coming day;
Behold the spires of golden fires
Point upward far away.

Coming, yes, He’s coming, the
Day-spring from on high;
Coming, yes, He’s coming; the
promised hour is nigh;
Coming, yes, He’s coming; let all
the ransomed sing;
The hills are bright with shinning light; all hail the coming king!

2. O Watchman, bid the sleeping Church
Awake, arise, and pray;
The heavenly Bridegroom soon will come,
And now is on His way.

3. All hail to Zion’s glorious King,
By prophets long foretold;
Praise Him in song, ye angel throng,
Strike all your harps of gold.

223 I LOVE, I LOVE MY MASTER

1. I love, I love my Master,
I will not go out free!
For He is my Redeemer;
He paid the price for me.
I would not leave His service,
It is so sweet and blest;
And in the weariest moments
He gives the truest rest.

2. My Master shed His life-blood
My vassal life to win,
And save me from the bondage
Of tyrant self and sin.
He chose me for His service,
And gave me power to choose
That blessed, perfect freedom,
Which I shall never lose.

3. I would not halve my service,
His only it must be!
His only—Who so loved me,
And gave Himself for me.
Rejoicing and adoring,
Henceforth my song shall be—
AI love, I love my Master,
I will not go out free!

224 SOUND THE ALARM, WATCHMAN

1. Sound the alarm! Let the watchman cry!-
Up! For the day of the Lord is nigh;
Who will escape from the wrath to come?
Who have a place in the soul’s bright home?

Sound the alarm, watchman! Sound the alarm!
For the Lord will come with a conquering arm;
And the hosts of sin, as their ranks advance,
Shall wither and fall at His glance.

2. Sound the alarm! Let the cry go forth,
Swift as the wind, o’er the realms of earth

AFlee to the Rock where the soul may hide!
AFlee to the Rock! In its cleft abide!

3. Sound the alarm on the mountain’s brow!
Plead with the lost by the wayside now:
Warn them to come and the truth embrace;
Urge them to come and be saved by grace.

4. Sound the alarm in the youthful ear;
Sound it aloud that the old may hear;
Blow ye the trump while the day beams last!
Blow ye the trump till the light is past!

225 GOD GIVES HIS PEOPLE STRENGTH

1. God give His people strength.
If we believe in His way,
He’s swift to repay,
All those who bear the burden of the
day.

230 SWEET HOUR OF PRAYER

1. Sweet hour of prayer! Sweet hour of
prayer!
That calls me from a world of care,
And bids me at my Father’s throne
Make all wants and wishes known;
In seasons of distress and grief,
My soul has often found relief,
And oft escaped the temper’s snare
By thy return, sweet hour of prayer.

2. Sweet hour of prayer! Sweet hour of
prayer!
Thy wings shall my petition bear
To Him whose truth and
faithfulness
Engage the waiting soul to bless;
And since He bids me seek His
face,
Believe His Word and trust His
grace,
I’ll cast on Him my every care,
And wait for thee, sweet hour of
prayer.

3. Sweet hour of prayer! Sweet hour of
prayer!
May I thy consolation share,
Till, from Mount Pisgah’s lofty
height,
I view my home, and take my flight:
This robe of flesh I’ll drop, and rise
To seize the everlasting prize;
And shout, while passing through
the air,
Farewell, farewell, Sweet hour of
prayer.

Help my unbelief.

Sweet as the note that angels sing,
Silently, now I wait for Thee,
Ready, my God, Thy will to see,
Open my way, illumine me, Spirit divine.

237 WHEN I PRAYED THROUGH

1. I came to God one night in prayer with my heartaches and my care;
I prayed Dear Father, here’s my life, I’m going through;
And since I prayed and Jesus came,
I have never been the same;
I’m glad I stayed down on my knees `til I prayed through.

I’ll never forget that wonderful hour,
When I felt His power, and I prayed through;
All Heaven came down and Glory abounded,
The angels resounded when I prayed through.

2. And now I’m His and He is mine, blest assurance so divine;
I’m feasting on the living bread, since I prayed through;
I can’t explain just how I feel,
But praise God! I know it’s real,
Because I stayed down on my knees `till I prayed through.

238 I NEED THEE EVERY HOUR

1. I need Thee ev’ry hour,
Most gracious Lord;
No tender voice like Thine
Can peace afford.

I need Thee, oh, I need Thee;
Ev’ry hour I need Thee;
Oh, bless me now, my Saviour,
I come to Thee!

2. I need Thee ev’ry hour,
Stay Thou near by;
Temptations lose their power,
When Thou art nigh.

3. I need Thee ev’ry hour,
In joy or pain;
Come quickly and abide,
Or life is vain.

4. I need Thee every hour,
Teach me Thy will;
And Thy rich promises
In me fulfil.

Most Holy One;
Oh, make me Thine indeed,
Thou blessed Son!

When you’re feeling so blue, don’t know just what to do,
Let the beauty of Jesus be seen in you.

3. When somebody has been so unkind to you,
Some word spoken that pierces you thru, and thru,
Think how He was beguiled, spat upon and reviled,

In example in deeds and in all you say;
Lay your gifts at His feet, ever strive to keep sweet,
Let the beauty of Jesus be seen in you.

His truth is marching on.

Glory! Glory, hallelujah!
Glory! Glory, hallelujah!
Glory! Glory, hallelujah!
His truth is marching on.

Glory! Glory, hallelujah!
Glory! Glory, hallelujah!
His day is marching on.

Round the walls of Jericho softly trod;

Thro’ the blood of Jesus, victory ahead,
Trusting in the Lord, I hear the conq’ror’s tread,

Met the giant on the field all alone;
Trusting in the Lord, he knew what God had said,

Then unto the lion’s den led the way;
Trusting in the Lord, he did not fear or dread,

Asking for deliverance oft I cried;
Trusting in the Lord, I reckoned I was dead,
By faith I saw the victory ahead.

5. When like those who’ve gone before to that land,
By death’s river cold and dark I shall stand;
Trusting in the Lord, I will not fear or dread,
By faith I see the victory ahead.

243 ONWARD CHRISTIAN SOLDIERS

1. Onward, Christian soldiers,
Marching as to war,

Where the saints have trod;

In the triumph-song;

248 MASTER, THE TEMPEST IS RAGING

1. Master, the tempest is raging!
The billows are tossing high!
The sky is o’er-shadowed with blackness,
No shelter or help is nigh:
Carest Thou not that we perish?
How canst Thou lie asleep,
When each moment so madly is threatening
A grave in the angry deep?

The winds and the waves shall obey My will!
Peace!… be still!…
Whether the wrath of the storm-tossed sea,
Or demons, or men, or whatever it be,
No waters can swallow the ship where lies
The Master of ocean, and earth, and skies:
They all shall sweetly obey My will;
Peace! Be still! Peace! Be still!
They all shall sweetly obey My will;
Peace! Peace! Be still!

2. Master, with anguish of spirit
I bow in my grief today;
The depths of my sad heart are troubled;
Oh, waken and save, I pray!
Torrents of sin and of anguish
Sweep o’er my sinking soul;
And I perish, I perish! dear Master:
Oh, hasten, and take control.

3. Master, the terror is over ,
The elements sweetly rest;
Earth’s sun in the calm lake is mirrored,
And heaven’s within my breast;
Linger, O blessed Redeemer,
Leave me alone no more:
And with joy I shall make the blest harbour,
And rest on the blissful shore.

249 VICTORY ALL THE TIME

1. They who know the Saviour shall in Him be strong,
Mighty in the conflict of the right `gainst wrong.
This the blessed promise given in God’s word,

Victory! Victory! Vict’ry all the time.
As Jehovah liveth, strength divine He giveth,
Unto those who know Him vict’ry all the time.

2. In the midst of battle be thou not dismayed,
Though the powers of darkness `gainst thee are arrayed;
God, thy strength, is with thee, causing thee to stand,
Heaven’s allied armies wait at thy command.

3. Brave to bear life’s testing, strong the foe to meet,
Walking like a hero midst the furnace heat,
Doing wondrous exploits with the Spirit’s sword
Winning souls for Jesus, praise, O praise the Lord.

250 WHEN THE BATTLE’S OVER

1. Am I a soldier of the cross,
A foll’wer of the Lamb?
And shall I fear to own His cause,
Or blush to speak His name?

And when the battle’s over we shall wear a crown!
Yes, we shall wear a crown! Yes, we shall wear a crown!
And when the battle’s over we shall wear a crown
In the new Jerusalem.

2. Must I be carried to the skies
On flow’ry beds of ease,
While others fought to win the prize,
And sailed thro’ bloody seas?

3. Are there no foes for me to face?
Must I not stem the flood?
Is this vile world a friend to grace
To help me on to God?

4. Sure, I must fight if I would reign,
Increase my courage, Lord:
I’ll bear the toil, endure the pain,
Supported by Thy word.

251 THE GOD TO WHOM I PRAY

1. The God who led His people thro’ the parted sea,
And from Egyptian bondage, set His children free,
Who rain’d down bread from heaven all the pilgrim way,
Is the God to whom I pray.

Just the same today, just the same today,
As when He led His people thro’ the sea;
His trustful child I’ll be, for in His word I see,
The God who doeth wonders is just the same today .

2. The God who rescued Daniel from the lion’s den,
And from the fiery furnace, sav’d the three young men,
Who speaks, and constellations will His voice obey,
Is the God to whom I pray.

3. The God who stills the tempest with a word divine,
And on the clouds of sorrow, makes His rainbows shine,
Who from the tomb of Jesus rolled the stone away,
Is the God to whom I pray.

4. The God who clothes the lily in its robe of snow,
Who in the barren desert makes His rivers flow;
The God who lifts the sinner from the miry clay,
Is the God to whom I pray.

252 IT’S NOT AN EASY ROAD

1. It’s not an easy road, we are travelling to heaven
For many are the thorns on the way,
It’s not an easy road, but the Saviour is with me,
His presence gives me joy every day.

No! No! It’s not an easy road,
No! No! It’s not an easy road,
But Jesus walks beside me and brightens the journey and lifts my heavy burden each day.

2. It’s not an easy road, there are trials and troubles
And many are the dangers we meet,
But Jesus guides and keeps so that nothing can harm me,
And smooths the rugged path for my feet.

3. Though I am often foot sore and weary from travel
Though I am often bow down with care.
A better day is coming when home in the glory
We’ll rest in perfect peace over there.
Closing Hymn

253 GOD BE WITH YOU

you,
Smite death’s threat’ning wave
before you;

The darkness falls at Thy be-hest;
To Thee our morning hymns
ascended,
Thy praise shall sanctify our rest.

2. We thank Thee that Thy Church
unsleeping,
While earth rolls onward into light,
Through all the world her watch is
keeping,
And rests not now by day or night.

3. As o’er each continent and island
The dawn leads on another day,
The voice of prayer is never silent,
Nor dies the strain of praise away.

4. The sun that bids us rest is waking
Our brethren `neath the western sky,
And hour by hour fresh lips are
making
Thy wondrous doings heard on
high.

5. So be it, Lord: Thy throne shall
never,
Like earth’s proud empires, pass
away;
Thy kingdom stands and grows for
ever,
Till all Thy creatures own Thy sway.

255 ABIDE WITH ME

1. Abide with me; fast falls the eventide:
The darkness deepens; Lord, with me abide;
When other helpers fail, and comforts flee,
Help of the helpless, O abide with me.

2. Swift to its close ebbs out life’s little day;
Earth’s joys grow dim, its glories pass away;
Change and decay in all around I see:
O thou who changes not, abide with me.

3. I need thy presence every passing hour;
What but thy grace can foil the tempter’s power?
Who like thyself my guide and stay can be?
Through cloud and sunshine, Lord abide with me.

4. I fear no foe, with thee at hand to bless;
Ills have no weight and tears no bitterness,
Where is death’s sting? Where grave thy victory?
I triumph still, if Thou abide with me.

5. Hold Thou Thy Cross before my closing eyes;
Shine through the gloom and point me to the skies:
Heaven’s morning breaks, and earth’s vain shadows flee;
In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me.

256 ASLEEP IN JESUS

1. Asleep in Jesus! Blessed sleep!
From which none ever wakes to
weep;
A calm and undisturbed repose,
Unbroken by the last of foes.

2. Asleep in Jesus! Oh how sweet!
To be for such a slumber meet!
With holy confidence to sing,
That death hath lost its venomed
sting!

3. Asleep in Jesus! Peaceful rest!
Whose waking is supremely blest;
No fear, no woe, shall dim the hour
That manifests the Saviour’s power.

4. Asleep in Jesus! Oh for me
May such a blissful refuge be!
Securely shall my ashes lie,
And wait the summons from on
high.

5. Asleep in Jesus! Far from thee
Thy kindred and their graves
may be:
But thine is still a blessed sleep,
From which none ever wakes to
weep.

257 TOMORROW MAY MEAN GOODBY

1. We never know at the dawn of day,
Greeting the rising sun,
Whether the reaper shall call away,
Ere that days work is done.

Tomorrow may mean good-by,
We never know when nor why,
God calls us away, when life seems
so gay,
Our bodies in dust to lie;
Tomorrow our souls may sigh,
For beauties we’ve let slip by,
O soul then prepare, sweet heaven
to share,
Tomorrow may mean goodby.

2. We live each day of this earthly life,
As tho it ne’er would end,
Forgetting God in our daily strife,
Grieving this precious friend.

3. God guides our footsteps each
passing day,
Burdens He will relieve,
Promising freely sufficient grace,
If only we believe.
The Second Coming Of Christ

258 WHEN THE ROLL IS CALLED UP YONDER

1. When the trumpet of the Lord shall
sound, and time shall be no more,
And the morning breaks, eternal, bright and fair;
When the saved of earth shall gather
over on the other shore,
And the roll is called up yonder, I’ll be there.

When the roll… is called up yonder,
When the roll… is called up yonder,
When the roll… is called up yonder,
When the roll is called up yonder, I’ll be there.

2. On that bright and cloudless
morning when the dead in Christ shall rise,
And the glory of His resurrection share;
When His chosen ones shall gather
to their home beyond the skies,
And the roll is called up yonder, I’ll be there.

3. Let us labour for the Master from
the dawn till setting sun,
Let us talk of all His wondrous love and care;
Then when all of life is over, and
our walk on earth is done,
And the roll is called up yonder, I’ll be there.

The Second Coming Of Christ

259 IN THE MORNING OF JOY

1. When the trumpet shall sound, and
the dead shall arise,
And the splendors immortal shall
envelope the skies,
When the angel of death shall no
longer destroy,
And the dead shall awaken in the
morning of joy.

In the morning of joy,
In the morning of joy,
We’ll be gathered to glory
In the morning of joy;
In the morning of joy.

2. When the King shall appear, in His
beauty on high,
And shall summon His children to
the courts of the sky,
Shall the cause of the Lord have
been all your employ,
That your soul may be spotless in
the morning of joy?

3. O the bliss of that morn when our
loved ones we meet,
With the songs of the ransomed we
each other shall greet,
Singing praise to the Lamb, thro’
eternity’s years,
With the past all forgotten with its
sorrows and tears.

260 O BE READY

1. When the Bride-groom cometh by and by,
When the Bride-groom cometh by and by,
Will your lamps be burning bright?
Will your robes be pure and white?
When the Bride-groom cometh by and by,

O be ready! O be ready!
Ready when the Bride-groom comes;
O be ready! O be ready!
Ready when the Bride-groom comes;

2. When the Bride-groom cometh by and by,
When the Bride-groom cometh by and by,
O be ready for that day!
With your sins all wash’d away,
When the Bride-groom cometh by and by,

3. When the Bride-groom cometh by and by,
When the Bride-groom cometh by and by,
Will your wearied heart rejoice
At the sound of Jesus’ voice?
When the Bride-groom cometh by and by,

4. When the Bride-groom cometh by and by,
When the Bride-groom cometh by and by,
Will the sorrows of the past
All be chang’d to joy at last?
When the Bride-groom cometh by and by,

5. When the Bride-groom cometh by and by,
When the Bride-groom cometh by and by,
When the Lord shall call His own,
Can you stand before the throne?
When the Bride-groom cometh by and by,

6. When the Bride-groom cometh by and by,
When the Bride-groom cometh by and by,
Will you join the ransom’d host,
Or be found among the lost?
When the Bride-groom cometh by and by,

261 I SHALL KNOW HIM

1. When my life-work is ended, and I
cross the swelling tide,
When the bright and glorious
morning I shall see;
I shall know my Redeemer when I
reach the other side,
And His smile will be the first to
welcome me.

I shall know Him, I shall know
Him,
And redeemed by His side I shall
stand;
I shall know Him, I shall know Him
By the print of the nails in His hand.

2. Oh, the soul-thrilling rapture when I
view His blessed face,
And the luster of His kindly
beaming eye;
How my full heart will praise Him
for the mercy, love, and grace,
That prepare for me a mansion in
the sky.

3. Thro’ the gates to the city in a robe
of spotless white,
He will lead me where no tears will
ever fall;
In the glad song of ages I shall
mingle with delight:
But I long to meet my Saviour first
of all.

262 I SHALL BE NO STRANGER THERE

1. When the pearly gates are opened
To a sinner sav’d by grace,
When thro’ everlasting mercy,
I behold my Saviour’s face;
When I enter in the mansions
Of the city bright and fair,
I shall have a royal welcome,
For I’ll be no stranger there.

I shall be… no stranger there,
Jesus will… my place prepare;
He will meet me… He will greet me,…
I shall be no stranger there.

2. Thro’ time’s ever-changing seasons,
I am pressing t’ward the goal;
`Tis my heart’s sweet native country,
`Tis the home-land of my soul;
Many lov’d ones, cloth’d with beauty,
In those wondrous glories share;
When I rise, redeemed, forgiven,
I shall be no stranger there.

3. There my dear Redeemer liveth,
Blessed Lamb upon the throne;
By the crimson marks upon them,
He will surely claim His own
So, whenever sad or lonely,
Look beyond the earthly care;
Weary child of God, remember,
You will be no stranger there.

263 I HAVE GIVEN UP ALL FOR JESUS

1. I have given up all for JesusThis vain world is naught to me;
All its pleasures are forgotten
In remembering Calvary.
Though my friends despise, forsake
me,
And on me the world looks cold,
I’ve a Friend that will stand by me
When the pearly gates unfold.

Life’s morn will soon be waning,
And its evening bells be tolled,
But my heart will know no sadness
When the pearly gates unfold.

2. When the voice of Jesus calls me,
And the angels whisper low,
I will lean upon my Saviour
Through the valley as I go:
I will claim His precious promise,
Worth to me the world of gold:
AFear no evil, I’ll be with thee
When the pearly gates unfold.

3. Just beyond the waves of Jordan,
Just beyond its chilling tide,
Blooms the Tree of Life immortal,
And the living waters glide:
In that happy land of spirits
Are there stores of bliss untold,
And the angels are awaiting
Where the pearly gates unfold.

264 WHEN I GET HOME

1. I shall wear a golden crown,
When I get home,
I shall lay my burdens down,
When I get home,
Clad in robes of glory,
I shall sing the story
Of the Lord who bought me,
When I get home.

When I get home,
When I get home,
All sorrow will be over,
When I get home;
When I get home,
When I get home,
All sorrow will be over,
When I get home.

2. All the darkness will be past,
When I get home,
I shall see the light at last,
When I get home;
Light from heaven streaming,
O’er my pathway beaming,
Ever guides me onward
Till I get home.

3. I shall see my Saviour’s face,
When I get home,
Sing again of saving grace,
When I get home;
I shall stand before Him;
Gladly I’ll adore Him;
Ever to be with Him,
When I get home.

265 I AM BOUND FOR CANAAN

1. Storms do not alarm me,
They sometime must cease,
Trials cannot harm me,
For I have blessed peace,
All love left behind me,
I long for no more,
Better things shall find me,
On Canaan’s shore.

Let those who will stay in Egypt land,
I am bound for Canaan
Where milk and honey flowing,
Shall ev’ry need supply,
All battles fought and
The victory won,
Peace and joy my portion,
My soul shall rest
On its shore by and by.

2. Troubles do not fret me,
They cannot abide,
Tho’ they may beset me,
In Jesus, I will hide;
All the world’s commotion
About me may roar,
There’s no stormy ocean
On Canaan’s shore.

3. I in grace abiding,
Am trying to stay,
In the shadow hiding
Of Canaan’s perfect day;
All I trust may fail me,
`Twill matter no more,
Nothing can assail me
On Canaan’s shore.

266 SHALL WE GATHER AT THE RIVER?

1. Shall we gather at the river,
Where bright angel feet have trod,
With its crystal tide forever
Flowing by the throne of God?

Yes, we’ll gather at the river,
The beautiful, the beautiful river,
Gather with the saints at the river,
That flows by the throne of God.

2. On the margin of the river,
Washing up its silver spray,
We will walk and worship ever,
All the happy, golden day.

3. Ere we reach the shining river,
Lay we ev’ry burden down;
Grace our spirits will deliver,
And provide a robe and crown.

4. At the shining of the river,
Mirror of the Saviour’s face,
Saints whom death will never sever
Raise their songs of saving grace.

5. Soon we’ll reach the silver river,
Soon our pilgrimage will cease;
Soon our happy hearts will quiver
With the melody of peace.

267 NOT MADE WITH HANDS

1. My Saviour’s gone a mansion to prepare,
In yon fair lands;
Adorned it will be with jewels rare,
Not made, not made with hands.

I know, I know, in heav’n for me a mansion stands,
A home, a home, Not made with hands.

2. How wonderful the story I’ve been told,
That in those lands
The gates all are pearl, the streets are gold,
Not made, not made with hands.

3. Just over there, its splendour I can see,
All fair it stands;
How wonderful this dwelling place for me,
Not made, not made with hands.

4. There all the ransom’d robed in spotless white,
Dwell in those lands,
Securely within that home of light,
Not made, not made with hands.

5. When life is o’er, some morning bright and fair,
I’ll leave these lands;
With all the redeemed, a crown to wear,
Not made, not made with hands.

268 I AM BOUND FOR THE PROMISED LAND

1. On Jordan’s stormy banks I stand,
And cast a wishful eye,
To Canaan’s fair and happy land,
Where my possessions lie.

I am bound for the promised land,
I am bound for the promised land;
O who will come and go with me?
I am bound for the promised land.

2. All o’er all those wide extended
plains
Shines one eternal day,
There God the Son for ever reigns
And scatters night away.

3. No chilling winds nor pois’nous
breath
Can reach that healthful shore;
Sickness and sorrow, pain and death
Are felt and feared no more.

4. When shall I reach that happy place,
And be for ever blest?
When shall I see the Father’s face,
And in His bosom rest?

269 BEULAH LAND

1. I’ve reached the land of love divine
And all its riches freely mine;
Here shines undimmed one blissful day,
For all my night has passed away.

O Beulah Land, sweet Beulah Land,
As on thy highest mount I stand,
I look away across the sea,
Where mansions are prepared for me,
And view the shining glory shore,
My heav’n, my home for ever more!

2. My Saviour comes and walks with me,
And sweet communion here have we;
He gently leads me by His hand,
For this is heaven’s border land.

3. A sweet perfume upon the breeze
Is borne from ever-vernal trees,
And flow’rs that, never fading, grow
Where streams of life for ever flow.

4. The zephyrs seem to float to me,
Sweet sounds of heaven’s melody,
As angels with the white robed throng
Join in the sweet redemption song.

270 I HAVE HEARD OF A LAND

1. I have heard of a land on the far away strand,
`Tis a beautiful home of the soul;
Built by Jesus on high, there we never shall die,
`Tis a land where we never grow old.

Never grow old, Never grow old,
In a land where we’ll never grow old;
Never grow old, Never grow old,
In a land where we’ll never grow old;

2. In that beautiful home where we’ll never more roam,
We shall be in that sweet by and by;
Happy praise to the King thro’ eternity sing,
`Tis a land where we never shall die.

3. When our work here is done and our life crown is won,
And our troubles and trials are o’er;
All our sorrow will end, and our voices will blend,
With the loved ones who’ve gone on before.

271 HOW BEAUTIFUL HEAVEN MUST BE

1. We read of a place that’s called heaven,
It’s made for the pure and the free;
These truths in God’s word He has given,
How beautiful heaven must be.

How beautiful heaven must be,
Sweet home of the happy and free;
Fair heaven of rest for the weary,
How beautiful heaven must be.

2. In heaven, no drooping, nor pining,
No wishing for elsewhere to be,
God’s light is forever there shining,
How beautiful heaven must be.

3. Pure waters of life there are flowing,
And all who will drink may be free;
Rare jewels of splendor are glowing,
How beautiful heaven must be.

4. The angels so sweetly are singing,
Up there, by the beautiful sea;
Sweet chords from their harps are
ringing,
How beautiful heaven must be.

272 WHEN WE ALL GET TO HEAVEN

1. Sing the wondrous love of Jesus,
Sing His mercy and His grace;
In the mansions bright and blessed,
He’ll prepare for us a place.

When we all get to heaven,
What a day of rejoicing that will be!
When we all see Jesus,
We’ll sing and shout the victory.

2. While we walk the pilgrim pathway,
Clouds will over-spread the sky;
But when trav’ling days are over,
Not a shadow, not a sigh.

3. Let us then be true and faithful,
Trusting, serving ev’ry day;
Just one glimpse of Him in glory
Will the toils of life repay.

4. Onward to the prize before us!
Soon His beauty we’ll behold;
Soon the pearly gates will open,
We shall tread the streets of gold.

273 WALKING IN SUNLIGHT

1. Walking in sunlight, all of my journey;
Over the mountains, thro’ the deep vale;
Jesus has said, AI’ll never forsake thee,
Promise divine that never can fail.

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

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

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

274 NEAR TO THE HEART OF GOD

1. There is a place of quiet rest,
Near to the heart of God,
A place where sin cannot molest,
Near to the heart of God.

O Jesus, blest Redeemer,
Sent from the heart of God,
Hold us, who wait before Thee,
Near to the heart of God.

2. There is a place of comfort sweet,
Near to the heart of God,
A place where we our Saviour meet,
Near to the heart of God.

3. There is a place of full release,
Near to the heart of God,
A place where all is joy and peace,
Near to the heart of God.

275 COME OVER

1. There’s a land of peace and plenty,
and its gates are open wide;
And the pure in heart and holy in its
shelter may abide,
It is not thro’ gates of glory that a
soul must enter in;
But all who would find entrance
there must leave the ways of sin.

Come over, come over, to the land
of corn and wine,
There is nothing can compare with
the many holy pleasures there,
Come over, come over, leave the
desert plain below and come away,
Away, come o…ver.

2. There is bread of heaven growing,
in its fair and fertile fields,
And the wine of love its vineyard to
the thirsting mortal yields;
There are mountain heights of glory
that await the trav’lers too,
And blest retreats where empty
souls draw nearer unto God.

3. Who would stay without its borders,
in the desert dark and drear,
When the luscious grapes of eschol
are so very, very near?
Enter in then with rejoicing, for the
Lord is on your side,
And in His glorious presence ever
more shall abide.

276 I’LL LIVE ON

1. `Tis a sweet and glorious tho’t that
comes to me,
I’ll live on, yes, I’ll live on;
Jesus saved my soul from death and
now I’m free,
I’ll live on, yes, I’ll live on.

I’ll live on, yes, I’ll live on,
Thru eternity I’ll live on,
I’ll live on, yes, I’ll live on,
Thru eternity I’ll live on

2. When my body’s slumb’ring in the
cold, cold clay,
I’ll live on, yes, I’ll live on;
There to sleep in Jesus till the
judgment day,
I’ll live on, yes, I’ll live on.

3. When the world’s on fire and
darkness veils the sun,
I’ll live on, yes, I’ll live on;
Men will cry and to the rocks and
mountains run,
I’ll live on, yes, I’ll live on.

4. In the glory-land, with God upon the throne,
I’ll live on, yes, I’ll live on;
Thru eternal ages singing, home sweet home,
I’ll live on, yes, I’ll live on.

277 HARK, HARK, MY SOUL

1. Hark, hark, my soul! Angelic songs are swelling
O’er earth’s green fields and ocean’s wave-beat shore;
How sweet the truth those blessed strains are telling
Of that new life when sin shall be no more.

Angels of Jesus, angels of light,
Singing to welcome the pilgrims of the night!

2. Far, far away, like bells at evening pealing,
The voice of Jesus sounds o’er land and sea,
And laden soul by thousands meekly stealing,
Kind Shepherd, turn their weary steps to Thee.

3. Onward we go, for still we hear them singing,
Come, weary, souls! For Jesus bids you come:
And through the dark, its echoes sweetly ringing,
The music of the Gospel! leads us home.

4. Angels, sing on! Your faithful watches keeping;
Sing us sweet fragments of the songs above;
Till morning’s joy shall end the night of weeping,
And life’s long shadows break in cloudless love.

278 FACE TO FACE

1. Face to face with Christ, my Saviour,
Face to face- what will it be?
When with rapture I behold Him,
Jesus Christ who died for me!

Face to face I shall behold Him,
Far beyond the starry sky;
Face to face, in all His glory,
I shall see Him by and by!

2. Only faintly now I see Him,
With the darkling veil between;
But a blessed day is coming,
When His glory shall be seen.

3. What rejoicing in His presence,
When are banished grief and pain,
When the crooked ways are straightened
And the dark things shall be plain.

4. Face to face- O blissful moment!
Face to face to see and know;
Face to face with my Redeemer,
Jesus Christ who loves me so!
Warning & Judgment

279 YOU NEVER MENTIONED HIM TO ME

1. When in the better land before the bar we stand,
How deeply grieved our souls may be;
If any lost one there should cry indeep despair,
You never mentioned Him to me,

You never mentioned Him to me,
You helped me not the light to see;
You met me day by day and knew I was astray,
Yet never mentioned Him to me.

2. O let us spread the word where’er it may be heard,
Help groping souls the light to see,
That yonder none may say, you showed me not the way
You never mentioned Him to me,

3. A few sweet words may guide a lost one to His side,
Or turn sad eyes on Calvary;
So work as days go by, that yonder none may cry,
You never mentioned Him to me,

Warning & Judgment

280 TOO LATE

1. Too late, `twill be for you to cry,
When mercy’s day has passed you by!
When solemn night, of dark despair,
Shall come upon you halting there!

Too late, too late, poor trembling soul!
O will this be your fate?
Too late, too late to be made whole!
Too late, too late, too late!

2. Too late, when death has barred the door,
Your wailings can be heard no more!
Rejected there, thy soul will be
Shut out, thro’ all eternity!

3. Will you not heed the voice today,
Inviting you Christ to obey?
And be prepared to enter there,
A pure and spotless robe to wear?

4. No longer, there in sin abide!
This all important step decide!
Come out, where Christ can touch thy soul,
And at this moment be made whole!

281 HAVE YOU COUNTED THE COST?

1. There’s a line that is drawn by rejecting the Lord,
Where the call of His Spirit is lost,…
And you hurry along with the pleasure-mad throng

Have you counted, have you counted the cost?

Have you counted the cost, if your soul should be lost,
Tho’ you gain the whole world for your own?…
Even now it may be that the line you have crossed,
Have you counted, have you counted the cost?

2. You may barter your hope of eternity’s morn,
For a moment of joy at the most,…
For the glitter of sin and the things it will winHave you counted, have you counted the cost?

3. While the door of His mercy is open to you,
Ere the depth of His love you exhaust,…
Won’t you come and be healed, won’t you whisper, I yieldI have counted, I have counted the cost.

282 THERE’S A GREAT DAY COMING

1. There’s a great day coming, a great day coming,
There’s a great day coming, by and by;
When the saints and the sinners shall be parted right and left,
Are you ready for that day to come?

Are you ready? Are you ready?
Are you ready for the judgment day?
Are you ready?
Are you ready for the judgment day?

2. There’s a bright day coming, a bright day coming,
There’s a bright day coming, by and by;
But its brightness shall only come to them that love the Lord,
Are you ready for that day to come?

3. There’s a sad day coming, a sad day coming,
There’s a sad day coming, by and by;
When the sinner shall hear his doom Depart, I know ye not,
Are you ready for that day to come?

283 WHERE WILL YOU SPEND ETERNITY?

1. Where will you spend eternity?
This question comes to you and me!
Tell me, what shall your answer be?
Where will you spend eternity?

Eternity! Eternity!
Where will you spend eternity?

2. Many are choosing Christ today,
Turning from all their sins away;
Heav’n shall their happy portion be;
Where will you spend eternity?

Eternity! Eternity!
Where will you spend eternity?

3. Leaving the strait and narrow way,
Going the downward road today,
Sad will their final ending be,
Lost thro’ a long eternity!

Eternity! Eternity!
Lost thro’ a long eternity!

4. Repent, believe, this very hour
Trust in the Saviour’s grace and
power;
Then will your joyous answer be,
Saved through a long eternity!

Eternity! Eternity!
Saved thro’ a long eternity!

284 THE GREAT JUDGMENT MORNING

1. I dreamed that the great judgment morning
Had dawned and the trumpet had blown;
I dreamed that the nations had gathered
To judgment before the white throne;
From the throne came a bright shinning angel,
And stood on the land and the sea,
And swore with his hand raised to heaven,
That time was no longer to be.

And O, what a weeping and wailing,
As the lost were told of their fate;
They cried for the rocks and the mountains,
They prayed, but their prayer was too late.

2. The rich man was there, but his money
Had melted and vanished away;
A pauper he stood in the judgment,
His debts were too heavy to pay;
The great man was there, but his greatness,
When death came, was left far behind!
The angel that opened the records,
Not a trace of his greatness could find.

3. The widow was there with the orphans,
God heard and remembered their cries;
No sorrow in heaven for ever,
God wiped all the tears from their eyes;
The gambler was there and the drunkard,
And the man that had sold them the drink,
With the people who gave him the license,
Together in hell they did sink.

4. The moral man came to the judgment,
But his self-righteous rags would not do;
The men who had crucified Jesus
Had passed off as moral men, too;
The soul that had put off salvation,
Not tonight; I’ll get saved by and by,
No time now to think of religion!
At last they had found time to die.

285 SORRY, I NEVER KNEW YOU

1. Last night as I was sleeping, this dream came to me;.
I dreamed about the end of time about eternity;
I saw a million sinners fall on their faces to pray,
The Saviour sadly shook His head, and this I heard Him say;
Sorry, I never knew you, depart from me for ever more;
Sorry, I never knew you, go and serve the one that you served before.

2. I thought the time had come when I must stand the trial,
I told the Lord that I had been a Christian all the while,
But through the book He then looked, and sadly shook His head;
They placed me over on His left, and this is what He said ;
Sorry, I never knew you, I find no record of your birth;
Sorry, I never knew you, go and serve the one you served while on earth.

3. There was my wife and children, I heard each one’s voice,
They must have all been happy, it seemed they did rejoice,
With robes of white around them, and crowns upon their head;
My little girl looked up at me, and this is what she said;
Daddy, we can’t go with you, we must stay on this lovely shore;
Sorry for we still love you, but you cannot be our Daddy anymore.

4. When I from sleep awakened, with tears in my eyes,
I looked around, and there about me to my great surprise,
I saw my wife and babies, and knew I’d had a dream,
Then down beside my bed I fell, and for mercy did scream;
Father, Who art in glory, in mercy look on me today;
Forgive me let me serve Thee, till the summons comes and calls me away.

286 GOD HELP YOU TO FOLLOW HIS BANNER

1. O brother, life’s journey beginning,
With courage and firmness arise!-
Look well to the course thou art
choosing;
Be earnest, be watchful, and wise!
Remember- two paths are before
thee,
And both thy attention invite;
But one leadeth on to destruction,
The other to joy and delight.

God help you to follow His banner,
And serve Him wherever you go;
And when you are tempted, my
brother,
God give you the grace to say No!

2. O brother, yield not to the tempter,
No matter what others may do;
Stand firm in the strength of the
Master,
Be loyal, be faithful, and true!
Each trial will make you the n
stronger,
If you, in the name of the Lord,
Fight manfully under your Leader,
Obeying the voice of His word.

3. O brother, the Saviour is calling!
Beware of the danger of sin;
Resist not the voice of the Spirit,
That whispers so gently within.
God calls you to enter His serviceTo live for Him here, day by day;
And share by and by in the glory
That never shall vanish away.

287 JESUS BIDS US SHINE

1. Jesus bids us shine with a clear pure light,
Like a little candle burning in the night;
In this world of darkness we must shineYou in your small corner, and I in mine.

2. Jesus bids us shine, first of all for Him;
Well He sees and knows it, if our light is dim;
He looks down from heaven to see us shineYou in your small corner, and I in mine.

3. Jesus bids us shine, then; for all around,
Many kinds of darkness in this world abound;
Sin and want and sorrow; so we must shineYou in your small corner, and I in mine.

288 DARE TO BE A DANIEL

1. Standing by a purpose true,1
Heeding God’s command,
Honour them, the faithful few!
All hail to Daniel’s Band!

Dare to be a Daniel!
Dare to stand alone!
Dare to make a purpose firm!
Dare to make it known!

2. Many mighty men are lost,
Daring not to stand,
Who for God had been a host,
By joining Daniel’s Band!

3. Many giants, great and tall,
Stalking through the land,
Headlong to the earth would fall,
If met by Daniel’s Band!

4. Hold the gospel banner high!
On to victory grand!
Satan and his host defy,
And shout for Daniel’s Band

289 THERE IS A GREEN HILL FAR AWAY

1. There is a green hill far away,
Without a city wall,
Where the dear Lord was crucified,
Who died to save us all.

We may not know, we cannot tell,
What pains He had to bear;
But we believe it was for us
He hung and suffered there.

2. He died that we might be forgiven,
He died to make us good,
That we might go at last to heaven,
Saved by His precious blood.

3. There was no other good enough
To pay the price of sin;
He only could unlock the gate
Of heaven, and let us in.

4. Oh, dearly, dearly has He loved!
And we must love Him too;
And trust in His redeeming blood,
And try His works to do.

290 FATHER GOD IN HEAVEN

1. Father God in heaven, Lord Most High:
Hear your children’s prayer, Lord Most High:
Hallowed be your name, Lord Most High
O Lord, hear our prayer.

2. May your kingdom come, here on earth;
May your will be done, here on earth,
As it is in heaven, so on earth
O Lord, hear our prayer.

3. Give us daily bread day by day,
And forgive our sins day by day
As we too forgive day by day
O Lord, hear our prayer.

4. Lead us in your way, make us strong;
When temptations come, make us strong;
Save us from all sin, keep us strong
O Lord, hear our prayer.

5. All things come from you, all are yours
Kingdom, glory, power, all are yours
Take our lives and gifts, all are yours
O Lord, hear our prayer.

291 ALL THINGS BRIGHT AND BEAUTIFUL

1. All things bright and beautiful,
All creatures great and small,
All things wise and wonderful,
The Lord God made them all.

All things bright and beautiful,
All creatures great and small,
All things wise and wonderful,
The Lord God made them all.

2. Each little flower that opens,
Each little bird that sings,
He made their glowing colours,
He made their tiny wings.

3. The purple-headed mountain,
The river running by,
The sunset, and the morning
That brightens up the sky.

4. The cold wind in the winter,
The pleasant summer sun,
The ripe fruits in the garden,
He made them every one.

5. He gave us eyes to see them,
And lips that we might tell
How great is God Almighty,
Who has done all things well.

292 I THINK WHEN I READ THE SWEET STORY

1. I think when I read the sweet story of old,
When Jesus was here among men,
How He called little children as lambs to His fold,
I should like to have been with them then;
I wish that His hands had been placed on my head,
That His arms had been thrown around me,
And that I might have seen His kind look when He said:
Let the little ones come unto me!

2. Yet still to His footstool in prayer I may go,
And ask for a share of His love:
And if I now earnestly seek Him below,
I shall see Him and hear Him above.
In that beautiful place He has gone to prepare
For all who are washed and forgiven;
And many dear children are gathering there
For of such is the kingdom of heaven.

3. But for thousands and thousands who wonder and fall,
Never heard of that heavenly home;
I should like them to know there is room for them all,
And that Jesus has bid them to come.
I long for the joy of that glorious time,
The sweetest and brightest and best,
When the dear little children of every clime
Shall crowd to arms and be blessed.

293 THERE’S A FRIEND FOR LITTLE CHILDREN

1. There’s a Friend for little children,
Above the bright blue sky;
A Friend who never changeth,
Whose love can never die.
Unlike our friends by nature,
Who change with changing years,
This Friend is always worthy,
The precious name He bears.

2. There’s a rest for little children,
Above the bright blue sky;
Who love the blessed Saviour,
And AAbba, Father, cry;
A rest from every turmoil,
From sin and danger free;
Where every little pilgrim
Shall rest eternally.

3. There’s a home for little children,
Above the bright blue sky;
Where Jesus reigns in glory,
A home of peace and joy.
No home on earth is like it,
Nor can with it compare:
For every one is happy,
Nor could be happier, there.

4. There’s a crown for little children,
Above the bright blue sky;
And all who look for Jesus
Shall wear it by and byA crown of brightest glory,
Which He will then bestow
On all who’ve found His favour
And loved His name below.

5. There’s a song for little children,
Above the bright blue skyA song that will not weary,
Though sung continually;
A song which even angels
Can never, never sing;
They know not Christ as Saviour,
But worship Him as King.

6. There’s a robe for little children,
Above the bright blue sky;
And a harp of sweetest music,
And a palm of victory,
All, all above is treasured,
And found in Christ alone;
Oh, come, dear little children,
That all may be your own.

294 TELL ME THE OLD, OLD STORY

1. Tell me the Old, Old Story
Of unseen things above,
Of Jesus and His glory,
Of Jesus and His love.
Tell me the Story simply,
As to a little child,
For I am weak and weary,
And helpless and defiled.

Tell me the Old, Old Story
Of Jesus and His love!

2. Tell me the Story slowly,
That I may take it inThat wonderful redemption,
God’s remedy for sin.
Tell me the Story often,
For I forget so soon;
The Aearly dew of morning
Has passed away at noon.

3. Tell me the Story softly,
With earnest tones and grave;
Remember! I’m the sinner
Whom Jesus came to save.
Tell me that Story always,
If you would really be,
In any time of trouble,
A comforter to me.

4. Tell me the same Old Story,
When you have cause to fear
That this world’s empty glory
Is costing me too dear.
Yes, and when that world’s glory
Is dawning on my soul,
Tell me the Old, Old Story:
AChrist Jesus makes thee whole.

295 LOVING SHEPHERD OF THY SHEEP

1. Loving Shepherd of thy sheep,
Keep thy lamb, in safety keep;
Nothing can thy power withstand,
None can pluck me from thy hand.

2. Loving Saviour, thou didst give

Thine own life that we might live,
And the hands outstretched to bless
Bear the cruel nails’ impress.

3. I would praise thee every day,
Gladly all thy will obey,
Like thy blessed ones above
Happy in thy precious love.

4. Loving Shepherd, ever near,
Teach thy lamb thy voice to hear;
Suffer not my steps to stray
From the straight and narrow way.

5. Where thou leadest I would go,
Walking in thy steps below,
Till before my Father’s throne
I shall know as I am known.

296 JESUS, LOVER OF MY SOUL

1. Jesus, Lover of my soul,
Let me to Thy bosom fly,
While the nearer waters roll,
While the tempest still is high;
Hide me, O my Saviour, hide,
Till the storm of life is past;
Safe into the haven guide,
Oh, receive my soul at last!

2. Other refuge have I none,
Hangs my helpless soul on Thee;
Leave, oh, leave me not alone,
Still support and comfort me:
All my trust on Thee is stayed,
All my help from Thee I bring;
Cover my defenceless head
With the shadow of Thy wing.

3. Thou, O Christ, art all I want;
More than all in Thee I find:
Raise the fallen, cheer the faint,
Heal the sick, and lead the blind:
Just and holy is Thy name,
I am all unrighteousness:
Vile, and full of sin I am,
Thou art full of truth and grace.

4. Plenteous grace with Thee is found

Grace to cover all my sin:
Let the healing streams abound;
Make me, keep me pure within:
Thou of life the Fountain art,
Freely let me take of Thee:
Spring Thou up within my heart,
Rise to all eternity.

297 GENTLE JESUS, MEEK AND MILD

1. Gentle Jesus, meek and mild,
Look upon a little child;
Pity my simplicity,
Suffer me to come to thee.

2. Fain I would to thee be brought:
Blessed Lord, forbid it not:
In the Kingdom of thy grace.
Give a little child a place.

3. Lamb of God, I look to Thee;
Thou shalt my example be;
Thou art gentle, meek and mild!
Thou wast once a little child.

4. Fain I would be as Thou art;
Give me Thy obedient heart;
Thou art pitiful and kind,
Let me have Thy loving mind.

5. Loving Jesus, gentle Lamb;
In Thy gracious hands I am;
Make me, Saviour, what Thou art,
Live Thyself within my heart.

298 I LOVE TO HEAR THE STORY

1. I love to hear the story
Which angel voices tell
How once the King of Glory
Came down on earth to dwell:
I am both weak and sinful,
But this I surely know:
The Lord came down to save me,
Because He loved me so!

2. I’m glad my blessed Saviour
Was once a child like me,
To show how pure and holy
His little ones might be;
And if I try to follow
His footsteps here below,
He never will forget me,
Because He loves me so!

3. To sing His love and mercy,
My sweetest songs I’ll raise;
And though I cannot see Him,
I know He hears my praise;
For He has kindly promised
That I shall surely go
To sing among His angels,

Because He loves me so!

299 JESUS LOVES ME

1. Jesus loves me ! this I know,
For the Bible tells me so;
Little ones to Him belong;
They are weak, but He is strong.

Yes, Jesus loves me! Yes, Jesus
loves me!
Yes, Jesus loves me! The Bible tells
me so!

2. Jesus loves! He who died
Heaven’s gate to open wide:
He will wash away my sin,
Let His little child come in.

3. Jesus loves me! He will stay
Close beside me all the way:
If I love Him, when I die
He will take me home on high.

standard,
Around the cross we hear His call.
