This list of songs is a work in progress. Our Spanish brothers wish to have it so they can learn the songs and sing with us while listening to the audio files.
CHORUS
Only believe, only believe,
All things are possible, only believe;
Only believe, only believe,
All things are possible, only believe.
(Lord, I believe…)
(Lord, I receive…)
(Jesus is here…)
Fear not, little flock,
From the cross to the throne;
From death into life
He went for His own;
All power in earth,
All power above,
Is given to Him
For the flock of His love.
Fear not, little flock,
He goeth ahead,
Your shepherd selecteth
The path you must tread;
The waters of Marah
He’ll sweeten for thee,
He drank all the bitter
in Gethsemane.
Fear not, little flock,
What ever your lot,
He enters all rooms,
“The doors being shut;”
He never forsakes,
He never is gone,
So count on His presence
In darkness and dawn.
Amazing grace! How sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now I’m found,
Was blind, but now I see.
‘Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
And grace my fears relieved;
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed;
Thro’ many dangers, toils and snares,
I have already come;
‘Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.
When we’ve been there ten thousand years,
Bright shining as the sun,
We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise
Than when we first begun.
Praise God, Praise God Praise God, Praise God
Praise God, Praise God, Praise God.
Praise God, Praise God Praise God, Praise God
Praise God, Praise God,Praise God.
3 They come from the East and West
They come from the East and West,
They come from the lands afar,
To feast with the King, to dine as His guest;
How blessed these pilgrims are!
Beholding His hallowed face,
Aglow with light divine;
Blest partakers of His grace,
As gems in His crown to shine.
CHORUS
Since Jesus has set me free,
I’m happy as heart can be;
No longer I bear the burden of care,
His yoke is so sweet to me.
My soul was as black as night.
But darkness has taken flight;
Now I shout the victory,
For Jesus has set me free.
I look on the great white throne,
Before it the ransom’d stand;
No longer are tears, no sorrow is know
Nor death in that goodly land.
My Saviour has gone before,
Preparing the way for me;
Soon we’ll meet to part no more
Thru time or eternity.
The gates of that holy place
Stand open by night and day;
O look to the Lord who giveth more grace,
Whose love has prepared the way.
A home in those mansions fair
His hand hath reserve for all.
For the wedding feast prepare,
Obeying the gracious call.
Oh, Jesus is coming soon,
Out trials will then be o’er.
What if our Lord this moment should come
For those who are free from sin?
Then would it bring you joy,
Or sorrow and deep dispair?
When our Lord in glory comes,
We’ll meet Him up in the air.
4 I Love Him
CHORUS
I love Him, I love Him
Because He first loved me
And purchased my salvation
On Calvary’s tree.
Gone from my heart the world
and all its charms;
Now, through the blood,
I’m saved from all alarms;
Down at the cross my heart
is bending low;
The precious blood of Jesus
cleans white as snow.
Once I was lost, and ‘way
down deep in sin,
Once was a slave to passions
fierce within;
Once was afraid to
trust a loving God;
But now I’m cleansed from every
stain through Jesus’ blood.
Once I was bound,
but now I am set free;
Once, I was blind, but now
the light I see;
Once I was dead, but now
in Christ I live,
To tell the world around
the peace that He doth give.
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 my wants and wishes known;
In seasons of distress and grief,
My soul has often found relief,
And oft escaped the tempter’s snare,
By thy return, sweet hour of prayer.
Sweet hour of prayer, sweet hour of prayer
The joy I feel, the bliss I share
Of those whose anxious spirits burn
With strong desires for thy return!
With such I hasten to the place
Where God, my Saviour, shows His face
And gladly take my station there,
And wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer
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.
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 thro’ the air,
Farewell, farewell, sweet hour of prayer!
CHORUS
Oh how I love Jesus,
Oh how I love Jesus,
Oh how I love Jesus,
Because He first loved me.
Chorus-2
I’ll never forsake Him,
I’ll never forsake Him,
I’ll never forsake Him,
Because He first loved me.
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.
It tells me of a Savior’s love,
Who died to set me free;
It tells me of His precious blood;
The sinner’s perfect plea.
It tells me what my Father hath
In store for every day,
And though I tread a darksome path,
Yields sunshine all the way.
It tells of One whose loving heart
Can feel my deepest woe,
Who in each sorrow bears a part,
That none can bear below.
I am thinking of the rapture
In our blessed home on high.
When the redeemed are gathering in;
How we’ll raise the heavenly anthem
In that city in the sky,
When the redeemed are gathering in.
CHORUS
When the redeemed
Are gathering in,
Washed like snow,
And free from all sin;
How we’ll shout,
And how we’ll sing,
When the redeemed
Are gathering in.
There will be a great procession
Over on the streets of gold,
When the redeemed are gathering in;
Oh what music, Oh what singing,
O’er the city will be rolled,
When the redeemed are gathering in.
Saints will sing redemption’s story
With their voices clear and strong,
When the redeemed are gathering in;
Then the angels all will listen,
For they cannot join that song,
When the redeemed are gathering in.
Then the Saviour will give orders
To prepare the banquet board,
When the redeemed are gathering in;
And we’ll hear His invitation,
“Come, ye blessed of the Lord,”
When the redeemed are gathering in.
As I journey through the land,
Singing as I go,
Pointing souls to Calvary,
To the crimson flow,
Many arrows pierce my soul
From without, within;
But my Lord leads me on,
Through Him I must win.
CHORUS
Oh. I want to see Him,
Look upon His face.
There to sing forever
Of His saving grace;
On the streets of Glory
Let me lift my voice.
Cares all past, home at last,
Ever to rejoice.
When in service for my Lord,
Dark may be the night.
But I’ll cling more close to Him,
He will give me light;
Satan’s snares may vex my soul,
Turn my thoughts aside;
But my Lord goes ahead,
Leads whate’er betide.
When in valleys low I look
Toward the mountain height,
And behold my Saviour there,
Leading in the fight.
With a tender hand outstretched
toward the valley low;
Guiding me, I can see,
As I onward go.
When before me billows rise
from the mighty deep.
Then my Lord directs my bark,
He doth safely keep.
And He leads me gently on
through this world below;
He’s a real Friend to me,
O I love Him so.
Feeling so much better
Talking about this good old Way,
Feeling so much better
Talking about the Lord;
Let’s go on, let’s go on
Talking about this good old Way,
Let’s go on, let’s go on
Talking about the Lord.
The devil he don’t like it,
Talking about this good old Way,
The devil he don’t like it,
Talking about the Lord.
So, let’s go on, let’s go on
Talking about this good old Way,
Let’s go on, let’s go on
Talking about the Lord.
Teach me, Lord, to wait Down on my knees,
Till in Your own good time You answer my pleas;
Teach me not to rely On what others do,
But to wait in prayer For an answer from You.
CHORUS
They that wait upon the Lord,
Shall renew their strength,
They shall mount up with wings as eagles,
They shall run and not be weary,
They shall walk and not faint;
Teach me, Lord, Teach me, Lord, to wait.
Teach me, Lord, to wait While hearts are aflame,
Help me humble my pride And call on Your Name;
Keep my faith renewed, Keep my eyes on Thee,
Help me be on this earth What You want me to be.
In the resurrection morning,
When the trump of God shall sound,
We shall rise, (Hallelujah!) we shall rise!
Then the saints will come rejoicing
And no tears will e’er be found,
We shall rise, (Hallelujah!) we shall rise.
CHORUS
We shall rise, (Hallelujah!)
We shall rise! (Amen!)
We shall rise, (Hallelujah!)
In the resurrection morning,
When death’s prison bars are broken,
We shall rise, (Hallelujah!) we shall rise.
In the resurrection morning,
What a meeting it will be,
We shall rise, (Hallelujah!) we shall rise!
When our fathers and our mothers,
And our loved ones we shall see,
We shall rise, (Hallelujah!) we shall rise.
In the resurrection morning,
Blessed thought it is to me,
We shall rise, (Hallelujah!) we shall rise!
I shall see my blessed Saviour,
Who so freely died for me,
We shall rise, (Hallelujah!) we shall rise.
In the resurrection morning.
We shall meet Him in the air,
We shall rise, (Hallelujah!) we shall rise.
And be carried up to glory,
To our home so bright and fair,
We shall rise, (Hallelujah!) we shall rise.
CHORUS
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.
Wear a crown, wear a crown,
Wear a bright and shining crown,
And when the battle’s over
We shall wear a crown
In the new Jerusalem.
Am I a soldier of the cross,
A follower of the Lamb,
And shall I fear to own His cause,
Or blush to speak His name?
Must I be carried to the skies,
On flowery beds of ease,
While others fought to win the prize,
And sailed the bloody seas?
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?
Sure, I must fight if I would reign,
Increase my courage, Lord:
I’ll bear the toil, endure the pain,
Supported by Thy Word.
Marvelous grace Of our loving Lord,
Grace that exceeds Our sin and our guilt.
Yonder on Calvary’s Mount outpoured,
There where the Blood Of the Lamb was spilt.
CHORUS
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.
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.
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.
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?
There waits for me a glad tomorrow,
Where gates of pearl swing open wide,
And when I’ve passed this vale of sorrow,
I’ll camp upon the other side.
CHORUS
Some day beyond the reach of mortal ken,
Some day, God only knows Just where and when,
The wheels of mortal life Shall all stand still,
And I shall go to dwell on Zion’s hill.
Some day I’ll hear the angels singing,
Beyond the shadows of the tomb;
And all the bells of heaven ringing,
While saints are singing, “Home, Sweet Home.”
Some day my labors will be ended,
And all my wand’rings will be o’er,
And all earth’s broken ties be mended,
And I shall sigh and weep no more.
Some day the dark clouds will be rifted,
And all the night of gloom be past;
And all life’s burdens will be lifted,
The day of rest shall dawn at last.
Come, we that love the Lord,
And let our joys be known,
Join in a song with sweet accord,
Join in a song with sweet accord,
And thus surround the throne,
And thus surround the throne.
CHORUS
We’re marching to Zion,
Beautiful, beautiful Zion;
We’re marching upward to Zion,
The beautiful city of God.
Let those refuse to sing
Who never knew our God:
But children of the heav’nly King,
But children of the heav’nly King,
May speak their joys abroad,
May speak their joys abroad.
The hill of Zion yields
A thousand sacred sweets
Before we reach the heav’nly fields,
Before we reach the heav’nly fields,
Or walk the golden streets,
Or walk the golden streets.
Then let our songs abound,
And ev’ry tear be dry;
We’re marching thro’ Immanuel’s ground,
We’re marching thro’ Immanuel’s ground,
To fairer worlds on high,
To fairer worlds on high.
Search me, Oh God, And know my heart today;
Try me, Oh Savior, Know my thoughts, I pray:
See if there be some wicked way in me:
Cleanse me from every sin, and set me free.
I praise Thee, Lord, for cleansing me from sin:
Fulfill Thy Word, and make me pure within:
Fill me with fire where once I burned with shame:
Grant my desire to magnify Thy name.
Lord take my life, and make it wholly Thine:
Fill my poor heart with Thy great love divine;
Take all my will, my passion, self and pride;
I now surrender: Lord in me abide.
Oh, Holy Ghost, Revival comes from Thee:
Send a revival, Start the work in me:
Thy Word declares, Thou wilt supply our need:
For blessing now, Oh Lord, I humbly plead.
My sheep know my voice And the path that I take,
They follow wherever I go;
My sheep know my voice And come at my call,
But a stranger’s voice do they not know.
CHORUS
My sheep know my voice And day by day
They abide in the fold And go not astray;
They love me because I have made them my choice
And they follow my call For my sheep know my voice.
My sheep know my voice And the pastures of green
Where I lead them so often to feed;
My sheep know my voice and the cool sparkling stream
Where beside its still waters I lead.
My sheep know my voice And the valley of death
Through which I shall lead them some day;
But no danger nor harm can touch one of them
For I will be with them alway.
Onward, Christian soldiers! Marching as to war,
With the cross of Jesus Going on before,
Christ, the royal Master, Leads against the foe,
Forward into battle, See His banners go!
CHORUS
Onward, Christian soldiers!
Marching as to war,
With the cross of Jesus
Going on before.
Like a mighty army Moves the Church of God;
Brothers, we are treading Where the saints have trod;
We are not divided, All one body we;
One in hope and doctrine, One in charity.
Crowns and thrones may perish, Kingdoms rise and wane,
But the Church of Jesus Constant will remain;
Gates of hell can never ‘Gainst that Church prevail;
We have Christ’s own promise, Which can never fail.
At the sign of triumph, Satan’s host doth flee;
Oh, then Christian soldiers, On to victory!
Hell’s foundations quiver At the shout of praise;
Brothers, lift your voices, Loud your anthems raise!
Onward, then ye people! Join our happy throng;
Blend with ours your voices In the triumph song;
Glory, laud, and honor, Unto Christ the King;
This thro’ countless ages Men and angels sing.
God still moves, God still moves,
In the hearts of His children, He still moves.
He does not slumber, Nor does He sleep.
God still moves, God still moves
When upon the clouds of heaven,
Christ shall come to earth again.
Will the world be glad to see Him,
When our Lord shall come again?
CHORUS
There’ll be singing, There’ll be shouting,
There’ll be sorrow, there’ll be pain,
There’ll be weeping, there’ll be praying,
When our Lord shall come again.
Will his coming bring rejoicing?
Or will it bring tears and pain?
Are you ready to receive Him.
When our Lord shall come again?
Will you join in lamentation?
Or the angel’s glad refrain?
Will you help His people crown Him,
When our Lord shall come again?
Work and pray till Jesus calls you.
Help to gather in the grain,
Then with joy you’ll meet the Saviour,
When our Lord shall come again.
The fight is on, the trumpet sound is ringing out,
The cry “To arms” is heard afar and near;
The Lord of hosts is marching on to victory,
The triumph of the right will soon appear.
CHORUS
The fight is on, O Christian soldiers,
And face to face in stern array,
With armor gleaming, and colors streaming,
The right and wrong engage today;
The fight is on, but be not weary,
Be strong and in his might hold fast;
If God be for us, his banner o’er us,
We’ll sing the victor’s song at last.
The fight is on, arouse ye soldiers brave and true,
Jehovah leads, and vict’ry will assure;
Go buckle on the armor God has given you.
And in his strength unto the end endure.
The Lord is leading on to certain victory,
The bow of promise spans the eastern sky;
His glorious name in every land shall honored be,
The morn will break, the dawn of peace is nigh
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.
CHORUS
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.
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.
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.
My faith looks up to Thee,
Thou Lamb of Calvary, Savior divine!
Now hear me while I pray,
Take all my guilt away,
O let me from this day Be wholly Thine!
May Thy rich grace impart
Strength to my fainting heart, My zeal inspire;
As Thou hast died for me,
O may my love to Thee
Pure, warm, and changeless be, A living fire!
While life’s dark maze I tread,
And griefs around me spread, Be Thou my Guide;
Bid darkness turn to day,
Wipe sorrow’s tears away,
Nor let me ever stray From Thee aside.
When ends life’s transient dream,
When death’s cold, sullen stream Shall o’er me roll;
Blest Savior, then, in love,
Fear and distrust remove;
O bear me safe above, A ransomed soul!
I care not today What the morrow may bring,
If shadow or sunshine or rain,
The Lord I know ruleth o’er everything,
And all of my worry is vain.
CHORUS
Living by faith, in Jesus above,
Trusting, confiding in His great love;
From all harm safe In His sheltering arm.
I’m living by faith And I feel no alarm.
Though tempest may blow And the storm clouds arise,
Obscuring the brightness of life,
I’m never alarmed At the overcast skies,
The Master looks on at the strife.
I know that He safely will carry me through,
No matter what evils betide,
Why should I then care, Though the tempest may blow,
If Jesus walks close to my side.
Our Lord will return to this earth some sweet day,
Our troubles will then all be o’er.
The Master so gently Will lead us away,
Beyond that blest heavenly shore.
All to Jesus I surrender,
All to Him I freely give;
I will ever love and trust Him,
In His presence daily live.
CHORUS
I surrender all,
I surrender all,
All to Thee, my blessed Savior,
I surrender all.
All to Jesus I surrender,
Humbly at His feet I bow;
Worldly pleasure all forsaken,
Take me Jesus, take me now.
All to Jesus I surrender,
Make me, Savior, wholly Thine;
Let me feel the Holy Spirit,
Truly know that Thou art mine.
All to Jesus I surrender,
Lord, I give myself to Thee;
Fill me with Thy love and power,
Let Thy blessing fall on me.
All to Jesus I surrender,
Now I feel the sacred flame;
Oh the joy of full salvation,
Glory, glory to His name.
On the top of Mount Zion is a city
And the earth with glory it doth fill;
I shall look on its beauty in the morning
When I reach that city on the hill.
CHORUS
Oh, that city on Mount Zion,
Tho’ a pilgrim, yet I love thee still;
I’ll not leave thee, through the ages,
When I reach that city on the hill.
I’m invited to come home to that city,
For the Word says, “Whosoever will,”
And I’ll find there a mansion for me waiting
When I reach that city on the hill.
Death will never molest me in that city,
Never leave me lying cold and chill;
And I’ll enter to live up there forever
When I reach that city on the hill.
So I’ll stay here until my Saviour calls me,
Trying daily to perform His will;
Then He’ll say unto me, “Well done,” up yonder
When I reach that city on the hill.
Tempted and tried we’re oft made to wonder,
Why it should be thus all the day long,
While there are others living about us,
Never molested though in the wrong.
CHORUS
Farther along we’ll know all about it.
Farther along we’ll understand why;
Cheer up, my brother, Live in the sunshine,
We’ll understand it all by and by.
When death has come and taken our loved ones,
It leaves our home so lonely and drear;
Then do we wonder why others prosper,
Living so wicked year after year.
Faithful till death said our loving Master,
A few more days to labor and wait’
Toils of the road will then seem as nothing,
As we sweep through the beautiful gate.
When we see Jesus coming in glory,
When He comes from His home in the sky;
Then we shall meet Him in that bright mansion,
We’ll understand it all by and by.
Let me walk, blessed Lord,
in the way Thou hast gone,
Leading straight to the land above;
Giving cheer everywhere,
to the sad and the lone,
Fill my way every day with love.
CHORUS
Fill my way every day with love,
As I walk with the heavenly Dove;
Let me go all the while, with
a song and a smile,
Fill my way every day with love.
Keep me close to the side of
my Saviour and Guide,
Let me never in darkness rove;
Keep my path free from wrath,
and my soul satisfied,
Fill my way every day with love.
Soon the race will be o’er, and
I’ll travel no more,
But abide in my home above;
Let me sing, blessed King,
all the way to the shore,
Fill my way every day with love.
I am resolved no longer to linger,
Charmed by the world’s delight;
Things that are higher,
things that are nobler,
These have allured my sight.
CHORUS
I will hasten to Him,
Hasten so glad and free,
Jesus, greatest, highest,
I will come to Thee.
I am resolved to go to the Saviour,
Leaving my sin and strife;
He is the true One, He is the just One,
He hath the words of life.
I am resolved to follow the Saviour,
Faithful and true each day;
Heed what He sayeth, do what He willeth,
He is the living way.
I am resolved to enter the kingdom,
Leaving the paths of sin;
Friends may oppose me, foes may beset me
Still will I enter in.
I am resolved, and who will go with me?
Come, friends, without delay,
Taught by the Bible, led by the Spirit,
We’ll walk the heavenly way.
I’m pressing on the upward way,
New heights I’m gaining every day;
Still praying as I’m onward bound,
Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.
CHORUS
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.
My heart has no desire to stay
Where doubts arise and fears dismay;
Though some may dwell Where these abound,
My prayer, my aim, is higher ground.
I want to scale the utmost height,
And catch a gleam of glory bright;
But still I’ll pray till heaven I’ve found,
Lord, lead me on to higher ground.
I want to live above the world,
Though Satan’s darts at me are hurled;
For faith has caught the joyful sound,
The song of saints on higher ground.
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.
CHORUS
Standing, standing,
Standing on the promises
Of God, my Savior;
Standing, standing,
I’m standing on
The promises of God.
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.
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.
Standing on the promises
Of Christ the Lord,
Bound to Him eternally
By love’s strong cord,
Overcoming daily
With the Spirit’s sword,
Standing on the promises of God.
Standing on the promises
I cannot fall,
Listening every moment
To the Spirit’s call,
Resting in my Savior
As my all in all,
Standing on the promises of God.
32 By and By, When the Morning Comes
We are often tossed and driven
on the restless sea of time,
Somber skies and howling tempests
oft succeed a bright sunshine;
In that land of perfect day,
when the mists have rolled away,
We will understand it better by and by.
CHORUS
By and by when the morning comes,
When all the saints of God
are gathered home,
We will tell the story
how we overcome,
For we’ll understand it
better by and by.
We are often destitute
of the things that life demands,
Want of food and want of shelter,
thirsty hills and barren lands;
But we’re trusting in the Lord,
and according to His Word,
We will understand it better by and by
Trials dark on every hand,
and we cannot understand,
All the ways that God would lead us
to that blessed Promised Land;
But He guides us with His eye
and we’ll follow till we die,
For we’ll understand it better by and by.
Temptations, hidden snares
often take us unawares,
And our hearts are made to bleed
for many a thoughtless word or deed,
And we wonder why the test
when we try to do our best,
But we’ll understand it better by and by.
Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee;
Let the water and the blood,
From Thy wounded side which flowed,
Be of sin the double cure,
Save from wrath and make me pure.
Could my tears forever flow,
Could my zeal no languor know,
These for sin could not atone;
Thou must save, and Thou alone:
In my hand no price I bring,
Simply to Thy cross I cling.
While I draw this fleeting breath,
When my eyes shall close in death,
When I rise to worlds unknown,
And behold Thee on Thy throne,
Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee.
Christ our redeemer
died on the cross,
Died for the sinner,
paid all His due;
Sprinkle your soul
with the blood of the Lamb,
And I will pass,
will pass over you.
CHORUS
When I see the blood,
When I see the blood,
When I see the blood,
I will pass,
I will pass over you.
Chiefest of sinners,
Jesus will save;
All He has promised,
that will He do;
Wash in the fountain
opened for sin,
And I will pass,
will pass over you.
Judgment is coming,
all will be there,
Each one receiving
justly his due;
Hide in the saving,
sin-cleansing blood,
And I will pass,
will pass over you.
Oh, great compassion!
O boundless love!
O loving kindness,
faithful and true!
Find peace and shelter
under the blood,
And I will pass,
will pass over you
I was sinking deep in sin,
Far from the peaceful shore,
Very deeply stained within,
Sinking to rise no more;
But the Master of the sea,
Heard my despairing cry,
From the waters lifted me,
Now safe am I.
CHORUS
Love lifted me! Love lifted me!
When nothing else could help,
love lifted me.
Love lifted me! Love lifted me!
When nothing else could help,
love lifted me.
All my heart to Him I give,
Ever to Him I’ll cling,
In His blessed presence live,
Ever His praises sing.
Love so mighty and so true,
Merits my soul’s best songs;
Faithful, loving service, too,
To Him belongs.
Souls in danger, look above,
Jesus completely saves;
He will lift you by His love,
Out of the angry waves,
He’s the Master of the sea,
Billows His will obey;
He your Saviour wants to be;
Be saved today
36 There Shall Be Showers of Blessing
There shall be showers of blessing;
This is the promise of love;
There shall be seasons refreshing,
Sent from the Saviour above.
Chorus
Showers of blessing,
Showers of blessing we need;
Mercy drops round us are falling,
But for the showers we plead.
There shall be showers of blessing
Precious reviving again;
Over the hills and the valleys,
Sound of abundance of rain.
There shall be showers of blessing.
Send them upon us, O Lord;
Grant to us now a refreshing,
Come, and now honor Thy Word.
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!
Have Thine own way, Lord!
Have Thine own way!
Thou are the Potter;
I am the clay.
Mould me and make me
After Thy will,
While I am waiting,
Yielded and still.
Have Thine own way, Lord!
Have Thine own way!
Search me and try me,
Master, today!
Whiter than snow, Lord,
Wash me just now,
As in thy presence
Humbly I bow.
Have Thine own way, Lord!
Have Thine own way!
Wounded and weary,
Help me, I pray!
Power, all power,
Surely is Thine!
Touch me and heal me,
Saviour divine.
Have Thine own way, Lord!
Have Thine own way!
Hold o’er my being
Absolute sway!
Fill with Thy Spirit
Till all shall see
Christ only, always,
Living in me.
I am Thine, oh 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.
CHORUS
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.
Consecrate me now,
to Thy service, Lord,
By the power of grace divine;
Let my soul look up
with a steadfast hope,
And my will be lost in Thine.
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!
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.
I have lost my reputation
Since I turned my back on sin,
And a lot of friends went from me
Since I let my Saviour in;
Now they pass me by unknown,
When they once passed with a smile;
Now they say I’m very foolish,
And they say I’m out of style.
CHORUS
I am marked, marked, marked,
I am marked, now wherever I go;
I am marked, marked, marked,
Just what I am everyone seems to know.
I am sealed, sealed, sealed,
I am sealed by His Spirit Divine;
Oh glory to God! Hallelujah! Amen!
I am His and I know that He is mine.
Well, they say my life is ruined,
And my talent thrown away,
And they cannot understand it,
For I had such plans one day;
But I know what I surrendered
When I promised I’d go through;
And I gained far more glory
Since God made me over new.
When with the Saviour
we enter the gloryland,
Won’t it be wonderful there?
Ended the troubles
and cares of the storyland,
Won’t it be wonderful there?
CHORUS
Won’t it be wonderful there?
Having no burdens to bear?
Joyously singing
With heart-bells all ringing,
Oh won’t it be wonderful there?
Walking and talking with Christ,
the supernal One,
Won’t it be wonderful there?
Praising adoring the matchless
eternal One,
Won’t it be wonderful there?
There where the tempest
Will never be sweeping us,
Won’t it be wonderful there?
Sure that forever the Lord
will be keeping us,
Won’t it be wonderful there?
Noah had drifted
On the floods many days
He searched for land
In various ways
Troubles he had some,
But not from above,
God gave him His sign
On the wings of a dove.
CHORUS
On the wings of a snow-white dove,
God sends His pure, sweet love,
A sign from above,
On the wings of a dove.
Jesus, our Saviour
Came to earth one day;
He was born in a stable,
In a manger of hay;
Though here rejected,
But not from above,
God gave us His sign,
On the wings of a dove.
Though I have suffered
In many a way,
I cried for healing
Both night and day;
Faith wasn’t forgotten
By the Father above,
He gave me His sign
On the wings of a dove.
My heavenly home
Is bright and fair,
I feel like traveling on,
No pain, nor death
Can enter there,
I feel like traveling on.
CHORUS
Yes, I feel like traveling on,
I feel like traveling on;
My heavenly home
Is bright and fair,
I feel like traveling on.
Its glittering towers the sun outshine,
I feel like traveling on;
That heavenly mansion shall be mine,
I feel like traveling on.
Let others seek a home below,
I feel like traveling on;
Which flames devour, Or waves o’er flow,
I feel like traveling on.
The Lord has been so good to me,
I feel like traveling on;
Until that blessed home I see,
I feel like traveling on.
Jesus has a table spread where the saints of God are fed,
He invites His chosen people Come and dine;
With His manna He doth feed and supplies our every need;
O, ‘tis sweet to sup with Jesus all the time!
CHORUS
Come and dine, the Master calleth,
Come and dine;
You may feast at Jesus’ table
all the time;
He who fed the multitude,
turned the water into wine,
To the hungry calleth now,
Come and dine.
The disciples came to land,
thus obeying Christ’s command,
For the Master called to them,
Come and dine;
There they found their hearts’ desire,
Bread and fish upon the fire;
Thus He satisfies the hungry every time.
Soon the Lamb will take His bride
to be ever at His side,
All the host of heaven will assembled be;
O, ‘twill be a glorious sight,
All the saints in spotless white;
And with Jesus they will feast eternally
In shady green pastures,
so rich and 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.
CHORUS
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.
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.
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.
Away from the mire,
And away from the clay,
God leads His dear children along;
Away up in glory, eternity’s day.
God leads His dear children along.
45 Leaning On The Everlasting Arms
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.
CHORUS
Leaning, leaning,
Safe and secure from all alarms;
Leaning, leaning,
Leaning on the everlasting arms.
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.
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.
I wandered in the shades of night,
Till Jesus came to me,
And with the sunlight of His love
Bid all my darkness flee.
CHORUS
Sunlight, sunlight in my soul today,
Sunlight, sunlight all along the way;
Since the Savior found,took away my sin
I have had the sunlight of His love within.
Tho’ clouds may gather in the sky,
And billows ’round me roll,
However dark the world may be,
I’ve sunlight in my soul.
While walking in the light of God,
I sweet communion find;
I press with holy vigour on,
And leave the world behind.
I cross the wide-extended fields,
I journey o’er the plain,
And in the sunlight of His love
I reap the golden grain.
Soon I shall see Him as He is,
The Light that came to me;
Behold the brightness of His face,
Thro’out eternity.
47 I Know Whom I Have Believed
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.
CHORUS
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.
I know not how this saving faith
To me He did impart,
Nor how believing in His Word
Wrought peace within my heart.
…..
I know not how the Spirit moves,
Convincing men of sin,
Revealing Jesus thro’ the Word,
Creating faith in Him.
I know not what of good or ill
May be reserved for me,
Of weary ways or golden days,
Before His face I see.
I know not when my Lord may come,
At night or noonday fair,
Nor if I’ll walk the vale with Him,
Or meet Him in the air.
Sowing in the morning,
Sowing seeds of kindness,
Sowing in the noontide
And the dewy eve;
Waiting for the harvest,
And the time of reaping,
We shall come rejoicing,
Bringing in the sheaves.
CHORUS
Bringing in the sheaves,
Bringing in the sheaves,
We shall come rejoicing,
Bringing in the sheaves.
(2X)
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.
Going forth with weeping,
Sowing for the Master,
Though the loss sustained
Our spirit often grieves;
When our weeping’s over,
He will bid us welcome,
We shall come rejoicing,
Bringing in the sheaves.
Some glorious morning
Sorrow will cease,
Some glorious morning
All will be peace;
Heartaches all ended,
Schooldays all done,
Heaven will open,
Jesus will come.
CHORUS
Some golden daybreak,
Jesus will come;
Some golden daybreak,
Battles all won,
He’ll shout the victory,
Break through the blue,
Some golden daybreak,
For me, for you.
Sad hearts will gladden,
All shall be bright,
Good-bye forever
To earth’s dark night;
Changed in a moment,
Like Him to be,
Oh, glorious daybreak,
Jesus I’ll see.
Oh, what a meeting,
There in the skies,
No tears nor crying
Shall dim our eyes;
Loved ones united
Eternally,
Oh, what a daybreak
That morn will be.
50 Shall We Gather At The River
Shall we gather at the river,
Where bright angel feet have trod,
With its crystal tide forever,
Flowing from the throne of God.
CHORUS
Yes, we’ll gather at the river,
The beautiful, the beautiful river;
Gather with the saints at the river
That flows from the throne of God.
On the bosom of the river,
Where the Saviour-King we own,
We shall meet and sorrow never,
‘Neath the glory of the throne.
On the margin of the river,
Washing up its silver spray,
We will walk and worship ever,
All the happy, golden day.
Ere we reach the shining river,
Lay we every burden down;
Grace our spirits will deliver,
And provide a robe and crown.
At the smiling of the river,
Mirror of the Saviour’s face,
Saints whom death will never sever
Lift their songs of saving grace.
Soon we’ll reach the shining river,
Soon our pilgrimage will cease;
Soon our happy hearts will quiver
With the melody of peace.
Down at the cross
Where my Savior died,
Down where for cleansing
From sin I cried;
There to my heart
Was the blood applied;
Glory to His name!
CHORUS
Glory to His name!
Glory to His name!
There to my heart
Was the blood applied;
Glory to His name!
I am so wondrously
Saved from sin,
Jesus so sweetly
Abides within,
There at the cross
Where He took me in;
Glory to His name!
Oh, precious fountain
That saves from sin!
I am so glad I have entered in;
There Jesus saves me
And keeps me clean;
Glory to His name!
Come to this fountain
So rich and sweet;
Cast thy poor soul
At the Savior’s feet;
Plunge in today
And be made complete;
Glory to His name!
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 brought me out
to golden day.
CHORUS
He brought 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
There’s a land that is fairer than day,
And by faith we can see it afar;
For the Father waits over the way,
To prepare us a dwelling place there.
CHORUS
In the sweet by and by,
We shall meet on that beautiful shore.
In the sweet by and by,
We shall meet on that beautiful shore.
We shall sing on that beautiful shore
The melodious songs of the blest,
And our spirits shall sorrow no more,
Not a sigh for the blessing of rest.
To our bountiful Father above
We will offer our tribute of praise,
For the glorious gift of His love
And the blessings that hallow our days.
54 There Is A Fountain Filled With Blood
There is a fountain filled with blood
Drawn from Immanuel’s veins;
And sinners, plunged beneath that flood,
Lose all their guilty stains,
Lose all their guilty stains,
Lose all their guilty stains;
And sinners, plunged beneath that flood,
Lose all their guilty stains.
The dying thief rejoiced to see
That fountain in his day;
And there may I, though vile as he,
Wash all my sins away,
Wash all my sins away,
Wash all my sins away,
And there may I, though vile as he,
Wash all my sins away.
Thou dying Lamb, Thy precious blood
Shall never lose its power,
Till all the ransomed church of God
Are saved, to sin no more,
Are saved, to sin no more,
Are saved, to sin no more;
Till all the ransomed church of God
Are saved, to sin no more.
For since by faith I saw the stream
Thy flowing wounds supply,
Redeeming love has been my theme,
And shall be till I die,
And shall be till I die,
And shall be till I die,
Redeeming love has been my theme,
And shall be till I die.
Then in a nobler, sweeter song,
I’ll sing Thy power to save,
When this poor lisping, stammering tongue
Lies silent in the grave,
Lies silent in the grave,
Lies silent in the grave,
When this poor lisping, stammering tongue
Lies silent in the grave.
Oh, What precious Love the Father
Had for Adam’s fallen race
Gave His Only Son to suffer
And redeemed us by His grace.
I’m on the rock, hallelujah
I’m on the rock to stay, hallelujah
For He lifted me from the miry clay
I’m on the rock to stay.
57 Battle Hymn Of The Republic
Mine eyes have seen the glory
of the coming of the Lord;
He is trampling out the vintage
Where the grapes of wrath are stored;
He hath loosed the fateful lightning
of His terrible swift sword;
His truth is marching on.
CHORUS
Glory! Glory, hallelujah!
Glory! Glory, hallelujah!
Glory! Glory, hallelujah!
His Truth is marching on.
I have seen Him in the watch fires
of a hundred circling camps;
They have builded Him an altar
in the evening dews and damps;
I can read His righteous sentence
by the dim and flaring lamps;
His day is marching on.
He has sounded forth the trumpet
that shall never sound retreat;
He is sifting out the hearts of men
before His judgment seat;
Oh be swift, my soul, to answer Him!
be jubilant, my feet!
Our God is marching on.
In the beauty of the lilies
Christ was born across the sea,
With a glory in His bosom
that transfigures you and me;
As He died to make men holy,
let us die to make men free;
While God is marching on.
Amen! Amen! Amen! Amen, Amen!
Are you going to love Him?
Amen!
Are you going to praise Him?
Amen!
Are you going to worship Him?
Amen! Amen, Amen!
Do you love Him? Amen!
Will you serve Him? Amen!
Do you believe Him?
Amen! Amen, Amen!
The Bible’s true. Amen!
I believe It. Amen!
It’s the Word of God.
Amen!Amen, Amen!
We believe You’re coming. Amen!
We’re ready to meet You. Amen!
Come, Lord Jesus. Amen! Amen, Amen!
The circuit-rider preacher
went riding through the land,
With a rifle on his shoulder
and a Bible in his hand;
He told the prairie people
of a blessed Promised Land,
As he went riding, singing along.
Leaning, leaning,
Leaning on the everlasting arm;
Leaning, leaning,
Leaning on the everlasting arm.
He preached the coming judgment
of fire and brimstone;
And a glorious, endless Heaven
of the justified alone,
As he rode across the mountains
you could hear him sing this song,
As he went riding on.
There is power, power,
wonder-working power,
In the blood of the Lamb;
There is power, power,
wonder-working power,
In the precious blood of the Lamb.
His rifle’s old and rusty,
and it’s hanging on the wall;
His Bible’s worn and dusty,
and it’s seldom touched at all:
But his Message from this Bible
will meet us at Judgment Day,
For God’s Truth keeps marching on.
Glory! glory, hallelujah!
Glory! glory, hallelujah!
Glory! glory, hallelujah!
His Truth is marching on.
I’m following Jesus,
One step at a time;
I live for the moment,
In His love divine,
Why think of tomorrow,
Just live for today;
I’m following Jesus,
Each step of the way.
The pathway is narrow,
But He leads me on;
I walk in His shadow,
My fears are all gone.
My spirit grows stronger
Each moment each day,
For Jesus is leading
Each step of the way.
Jesus is my Saviour,
I shall not be moved;
In His love and favour,
I shall not be moved;
Just like a tree that’s planted
by the waters,
I shall not be moved.
CHORUS
I shall not be,
I shall not be moved,
I shall not be,
I shall not be moved;
Just like a tree that’s planted
by the waters,
I shall not be moved.
In my Christ abiding,
I shall not be moved;
In His love I’m hiding,
I shall not be moved;
Just like a tree that’s planted
by the waters,
I shall not be moved.
If I trust Him ever,
I shall not be moved:
He will fail me never,
I shall not be moved;
Just like a tree that’s planted
by the waters,
I shall not be moved.
On His word I’m feeding,
I shall not be moved,
He’s the One that’s leading,
I shall not be moved,
Just like a tree that’s planted
by the waters,
I shall not be moved.
Glory hallelujah,
I shall not be moved;
Anchored in Jehovah,
I shall not be moved;
Just like a tree that’s planted by
the waters,
I shall not be moved.
In His love abiding,
I shall not be moved;
And in Him confiding,
I shall not be moved:
Just like a tree that’s planted
by the waters,
I shall not be moved.
Though all hell assail me,
I shall not be moved;
Jesus will not fail me,
I shall not be moved;
Just like a tree that’s planted
by the waters,
I shall not be moved.
Though the tempest rages,
I shall not be moved,
On the Rock of Ages,
I shall not be moved;
Just like a tree that’s planted
by the waters,
I shall not be moved.
Oh, how sweet the glorious message,
simple faith may claim;
Yesterday today, forever,
Jesus is the same.
Still He loves to save the sinful,
heal the sick and lame;
Cheer the mourner, still the tempest;
Glory to His name!
CHORUS
Yesterday, today, forever,
Jesus is the same,
All may change, but Jesus never!
Glory to His name,
Glory to His name, Glory to his name;
All may change but Jesus never!
Glory to His name.
He who was the friend of sinners,
Seeks thee, lost one, now;
Sinner, come, and at
His footstool penitently bow.
He who said, “I’ll not condemn thee,
go and sin no more;”
Speaks to thee that word of pardon,
as in days of yore.
Oft on earth He healed the sufferer
By His mighty hand;
Still our sicknesses and sorrows
Go at His command.
He who gave His healing virtue,
To a woman’s touch;
To the faith that claims His fullness
Still will give as much.
As of old He walked to Emmaus,
with them to abide;
So through all life’s way He walketh,
ever near our side.
Soon again we shall behold Him,
hasten, Lord, the day!
But ’twill still be this same Jesus,
as He went away.
It’s the old-time Holy Spirit,
And the devil won’t go near It,
That’s the reason people fear It;
But it’s good enough for me.
CHORUS
Give me that old-time religion,
Give me that old-time religion,
Give me that old-time religion,
It’s good enough for me.
It will make you stop your lying;
It will save you when you’re dying;
It will start the devil flying;
And It’s good enough for me.
It’s so good I want no other,
For It makes me love my brother;
And It brings things from under
cover,
And It’s good enough for me.
It’s the old ship of Zion.,
It’s the old ship of Zion,
It’s the old ship of Zion,
Get on board, get on board.
It has landed my old father,
It has landed my old father,
It has landed my old father,
Get on board, get on board.
I’ve got a Father over yonder,
I’ve got a Father over yonder,
I’ve got a Father over yonder,
On the other shore.
Some bright day I’ll go and see Him,
Some bright day I’ll go and see Him,
Some bright day I’ll go and see Him,
On the other shore.
Won’t that be a happy meeting!
Won’t that be a happy meeting!
Won’t that be a happy meeting!
On the other shore.
That bright day may be tomorrow,
That bright day may be tomorrow,
That bright day may be tomorrow,
On the other shore.
Shine on me, Lord, shine on me,
Let the light from the Lighthouse
shine on me;
Shine on me, Lord, shine on me,
Let the light from the Lighthouse
shine on me.
From Bethlehem’s manger
Came forth a Stranger.
On earth I long to be like Him;
My faithful Saviour,
How rich His favor!
On earth I long to be like Him.
CHORUS
To be like Jesus,
To be like Jesus,
On earth I long to be like Him;
All thru life’s journey
From earth to glory
I only ask to be like Him.
Serene and holy, obedient, lowly,
On earth I long to be like Him.
By grace forgiven, an heir of heaven,
On earth I long to be like Him
Great is Thy faithfulness,
O God my Father,
There is no shadow of turning with Thee;
Thou changest not,
Thy compassions, they fail not;
As Thou hast been Thou forever wilt be.
CHORUS
Great is thy faithfulness!
Great is Thy faithfulness!
Morning by morning new mercies I see;
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided;
Great is Thy faithfulness,
Lord, unto me!
Summer and winter,
and springtime and harvest,
Sun, moon and stars
in their courses above,
Join with all nature in manifold witness,
To Thy great faithfulness,
mercy and love.
Pardon for sin and
a peace that endureth.
Thy own dear presence
to cheer and to guide;
Strength for today
and bright hope for tomorrow,
Blessings all mine,
with ten thousand beside!
69 Open My Eyes, That I May See
Open my eyes,
That I may see
Glimpses of truth
Thou hast for me;
Place in my hands
The wonderful key
That shall unclasp,
And set me free.
CHORUS
Silently now I wait for Thee,
Ready my God, Thy will to see;
Open my eyes, illumine me,
Spirit Divine!
Open my ears,
That I may hear
Voices of truth
Thou sendest clear;
And while the wave-notes
Fall on my ear,
Everything false
Will disappear.
Open my mouth,
And let me bear
Gladly the warm
Truth everywhere;
Open my heart,
And let me prepare,
Love with Thy children
Thus to share.
I know it was the Blood,
I know it was the Blood,
I know it was the Blood for me;
One day when I was lost,
He died upon the Cross,
I know it was the Blood for me.
Oh, won’t you watch with me one hour,
While I go yonder, while I go yonder?
Oh, won’t you watch with me one hour,
While I go yonder and pray?
I’m overcoming, I’m overcoming,
I’m overcoming, I’m overcoming;
For I love Jesus, He’s my Saviour,
And He smiles and He loves me too.
Spirit of the living God,
Fall fresh on me;
Spirit of the living God,
Fall fresh on me;
Break me! Melt me!
Mold me! Fill me!
Spirit of the living God,
Fall fresh on me.
Let the beauty of Jesus
Be seen in me,
All His wonderful passion
And purity;
Oh Thou Spirit divine,
All my nature refine,
Till the beauty of Jesus
Be seen in me.
Shut in with God in a secret place,
There in the Spirit beholding His face,
Gaining new power to run in the race,
I long to be shut in with God.
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!
CHORUS
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.
Through death into life everlasting
He passed, and we follow Him there;
Over us sin no more hath dominion,
For more than conqu’rors we are!
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!
We’ll give the glory to Jesus,
And tell of His love,
His wonderful love;
We’ll give the glory to Jesus,
And tell of His wonderful love.
Sweep over my soul,
Sweep over my soul,
Sweet Spirit sweep over my soul;
My rest is complete,
While I sit at Your feet;
Sweet Spirit sweep over my soul.
A friend of Jesus, oh, what bliss
That one so vile as I
Should ever have a friend
like this
To lead me to the sky.
CHORUS
Friendship with Jesus,
Fellowship divine;
Oh, what blessed sweet
communion,
Jesus is a friend of mine.
A friend when other friendships
cease,
A friend when others fail;
A friend who gives me joy
and peace,
A friend when foes assail
A friend when sickness lays
me low,
A friend when death draws near;
A friend as through the vale I go,
A friend to help and cheer.
A friend when life’s short race is o’er.
A friend when earth is past;
A friend to greet on heaven’s
shore,
A friend when home at last.
Jesus is the one,
Yes He’s the only one,
Let Him have His way
Until the day is done;
When He speaks, you know
The clouds will have to go,
Just because He loves you so.
Would you be numbered
as one of His fold?
Would you be numbered
as one of His fold?
Be spotless within, be watching
and waiting that sight to behold;
He’s coming again.
I have 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. Hallelujah!
CHORUS
He’s the Lily of the Valley,
The bright and morning star,
He’s the fairest of ten thousand
to my soul.
He all my grief has taken,
And all my sorrows borne;
In temptation He’s my
Strong and mighty tower;
I have all for Him forsaken,
And all my idols torn from my heart,
And now He keeps me by His power.
Though all the world forsake me,
And Satan tempts me sore,
Through Jesus I shall
Safely reach the goal; Hallelujah!
He will 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.
Then sweeping up to glory,
To see His blessed face,
Where rivers of delight shall ever roll!
He careth for you,
He careth for you;
Through sunshine or shadow,
He careth for you.
He careth for me,
He careth for me;
Through sunshine or shadow,
He careth for me.
The sands have been washed in the footprints
Of the Stranger on Galilee’s shore,
And the voice that subdued the rough billows,
Will be heard in Judea no more.
But the path of that lone Galilean
With joy I will follow today,
And the toils of the road will seem nothing,
When I get to the end of the way,
And the toils of the road will seem nothing,
When I get to the end of the way.
There are so many hills to climb upward,
I often am longing for rest
But He who appoints me my pathway,
Knows just what is needful and best,
I know in His word He hath promised
That my strength, it shall be as my day.
And the toils of the road will seem nothing,
When I get to the end of the way,
And the toils of the road will seem nothing,
When I get to the end of the way.
He loves me too well to forsake me
Or give me one trial too much,
All His people have been dearly purchased,
And Satan can never claim such.
By and by I shall see Him and praise Him,
In the city of unending day.
And the toils of the road will seem nothing,
When I get to the end of the way,
And the toils of the road will seem nothing,
When I get to the end of the way.
When the last feeble step has been taken,
And the gates of that city appear,
And the beautiful songs of the angels
Float out on my listening ear.
When all that now seems so mysterious
Will be bright and as clear as the day.
Then the toils of the road will seem nothing.
When I get to the end of the way,
Then the toils of the road will seem nothing,
When I get to the end of the way
The cross upon which Jesus died
Is a shelter in which we can hide,
And its grace so free is sufficient for me,
And deep is its fountain; as wide as the sea.
CHORUS
There’s room at the cross for you.
There’s room at the cross for you.
Though millions have come,
there’s still room for one
Yes, there’s room at the cross for you.
Though millions have found Him a friend
And have turned from the sins they have sinned.
The Saviour still waits to open the gates,
And welcome a sinner before it’s too late.
The hand of my Saviour is strong
And the love of my Saviour is long.
Through sunshine or rain, through loss or in gain,
The blood flows from Calv’ry to cleanse every stain
87 When the Roll Is Called up Yonder
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.
CHORUS
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.
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.
Let us labor 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 work on earth is done,
And the roll is called up yonder,
I’ll be there.
My soul in sad exile
Was out on life’s sea,
So burdened with sin
and distressed,
Till I heard a sweet voice
Saying, “Make me your choice;”
And I entered the Haven of Rest.
CHORUS
I’ve anchored my soul
In the Haven of Rest,
I’ll sail the wide seas no more;
The tempest may sweep
O’er the wild, stormy deep;
In Jesus I’m safe evermore.
I yielded myself
To his tender embrace,
And faith taking hold of the Word,
My fetters fell off,
And I anchored my soul;
The Haven of Rest is my Lord.
The song of my soul,
Since the Lord made me whole,
Has been the old story so blest,
Of Jesus who’ll save
Whosoever will have
A home in the Haven of Rest.
How precious the thought
That we all may recline,
Like John the beloved and blest,
On Jesus’ strong arm
Where no tempest can harm,
Secure in the Haven of Rest.
Oh come to the Savior,
He patiently waits,
To save by His power divine;
Come, anchor your soul
In the Haven of Rest,
And say, “My Beloved is mine.”
89 Must Jesus Bear the Cross Alone?
Must Jesus bear the cross alone,
And all the world go free?
No, there’s a cross for every one,
And there’s a cross for me.
The consecrated cross I’ll bear,
Till death shall set me free,
And then go home my crown to wear,
For there’s a crown for me.
Upon the crystal pavement, down
At Jesus’ pierced feet,
With joy I’ll cast my golden crown,.
And His dear name repeat.
Oh precious cross! Oh glorious crown!
Oh resurrection day!
Ye angels from the stars come down
And bear my soul away.
All praise to Him who reigns above,
In majesty supreme,
Who gave His Son for man to die,
That He might man redeem.
CHORUS
Blessed be the name,
Blessed be the name,
Blessed be the name of the Lord;
Blessed be the name,
Blessed be the name,
Blessed be the name of the Lord.
His name above all names shall stand,
Exalted more and more,
At God the Father’s own right hand,
Where angel hosts adore.
His name shall be the Counselor,
The mighty Prince of Peace;
Of all earth’s kingdoms Conqueror,
Whose reign shall never cease.
Redeemer, Savior, Friend of man,
Once ruined by the fall,
Thou hast devised salvation’s plan,
For Thou hast died for all.
Magnify the name,
Magnify the name
Magnify the name of the Lord;
Magnify the name,
Magnify the name
Magnify the name of the Lord.
There’s healing in the name,
Healing in the name
Healing in the name of the Lord;
There’s healing in the name,
Healing in the name
Healing in the name of the Lord.
Jesus is the name,
Jesus is the name,
Jesus is the name of the Lord;
Jesus is the name,
Jesus is the name,
Jesus is the name of the Lord.
Hear the Lord of harvest sweetly calling,
“Who will go and work for Me today?
Who will bring to Me the lost and dying?
Who will point them to the narrow way?”
Chorus
Speak, my Lord, speak, my Lord,
Speak, and I’ll be quick to answer Thee;
Speak, my Lord, speak, my Lord,
Speak, and I will answer, “Lord, send me.”
When the coal of fire touched the prophet,
Making him as pure, as pure can be,
When the voice of God said, “Who’ll go for us?”
Then he answered, “Here I am, send me.”
Millions now in sin and shame are dying,
Listen to their sad and bitter cry;
Hasten, brother, hasten to the rescue;
Quickly answer, “Master, here am I.”
Soon the time for reaping will be over;
Soon we’ll gather for the harvest home;
May the Lord of harvest smile upon us,
May we hear His blessèd, “Child, well done.”
The love of God is greater far
Than tongue or pen can ever tell;
It goes beyond the highest star,
And reaches to the lowest hell.
The guilty pair, bowed down with care,
God gave His Son to win;
His erring child He reconciled,
And pardoned from his sin.
CHORUS
Oh, love of God, how rich and pure!
How measureless and strong!
It shall forevermore endure,
The saints and angels song.
When hoary time shall pass away,
And earthly thrones and kingdoms fall;
When men who here refuse to pray,
On rocks and hills and mountains call;
God’s love, so sure, shall still endure,
All measureless and strong;
Redeeming grace to Adam’s race,
The saints and angels’ song.
Could we with ink the ocean fill,
And were the skies of parchment made;
Were every stalk on earth a quill,
And every man a scribe by trade;
To write the love of God above
Would drain the ocean dry;
Nor could the scroll contain the whole,
Though stretched from sky to sky.
You have heard of little Moses in the bulrush,
You have heard of fearless David and his sling
You have heard the story told of dreaming Joseph,
And of Jonah and the whale you often sing.
There are many, many others through the Bible,
I should like to meet them all, I do declare!
By and by the Lord will surely let us meet them,
At the meeting in the air.
CHORUS
There is going to be a meeting in the air.
In the sweet, sweet by and by;
I am going to meet you, meet you over there
In that home beyond the sky;
Such singing you will hear,
Never heard by mortal ear,
‘Twill be glorious, I do declare!
And God’s own Son will be the leading One
At the meeting in the air.
Many things will there be missing In that meeting:
For the mourners bench Will have no place at all;
There will never be a sermon Preached to sinners,
For the sinner had refused to heed the call.
There will be no mourning Over wayward loved ones,
There will be no lonely nights of pleading prayer;
All our burdens and our anguish will be lifted
At that meeting in the air.
There the doubters will be missing altogether,
All the skeptics will be absent on that day;
There will be no grumblers present to disturb us,
And the Achans will be busy far away.
There the saints will have His “seal upon their foreheads,”
Dressed in raiment none But ransomed ones can wear;
All who have the wedding garments will be present,
At the meeting in the air.
The first one to die for
This Holy Ghost plan,
Was John the Baptist,
But he died like a man;
Then came the Lord Jesus,
They crucified Him,
He taught that the Spirit
Would save men from sin.
CHORUS
It’s dripping with blood, Yes,
It’s dripping with blood,
This Holy Ghost Gospel
Is dripping with blood,
The blood of disciples
Who died for the Truth,
This Holy Ghost Gospel
Is dripping with blood.
There was Peter and Paul,
And John the divine,
They gave up their lives so
This Gospel could shine;
They mingled their blood,
Like the prophets of old,
So the true Word of God
Could honest be told.
Then they stoned Stephen,
He preached against sin,
He made them so angry,
They dashed his head in;
But he died in the Spirit,
And gave up the ghost,
And went to join others,
In that life-giving host.
There’s souls under the altar,
Crying, “How long?”
For the Lord to punish
Those who’ve done wrong;
But there’s going to be more
Who’ll give their life’s blood
For this Holy Ghost Gospel
And its crimson flood.
Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God of hosts.
Heaven and earth are full of Thee,
Heaven and earth are praising Thee,
O Lord Most High.
This old world can never hold me,
Any moment I’ll be gone,
For I’ve made my consecration,
And I have my wedding garment on.
98 Our Lord’s Return To Earth Again
I am watching for the coming
Of the glad millennial day,
When our blessed Lord shall come
And catch his waiting Bride away;
Oh! my heart is filled with rapture
As I labor, watch and pray,
For the Lord is coming back to earth again.
CHORUS
Oh! our Lord is coming back
to earth again,
Yes, our Lord is coming back
to earth again;
Satan will be bound a thousand years,
We’ll have no tempter then,
After Jesus shall come back
to earth again.
Jesus’ coming back will be the answer
To earth’s sorrowing cry,
For the knowledge of the Lord shall fill
The earth and sea and sky;
God shall take away all sickness
And the sufferer’s tears will dry,
When our Savior shall come back
to earth again.
Yes, the ransomed of the Lord shall come
To Zion then with joy,
And in all His holy mountain
Nothing hurts or shall destroy;
Perfect peace shall reign in every heart,
and love without alloy,
After Jesus shall come back
to earth again.
Then the sin and sorrow, pain and death
of this dark world shall cease,
In a glorious reign with Jesus of a
thousand years of peace;
All the earth is groaning, crying
For that day of sweet release,
For our Jesus to come back
to earth again.
Standing somewhere in the shadows
you’ll find Jesus,
He’s the One who always cares and understands;
Standing somewhere in the shadows
you will find Him,
And you’ll know Him by the nail prints in his hands.
CHORUS
I shall know Him, I shall know Him,
As redeemed by His side I shall stand;
I shall know Him, I shall know Him
By the prints of the nails in His hands.
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.
CHORUS
When Jesus comes the tempter’s
power 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.
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.
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 every fear.
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.
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.
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.
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?
Were the whole realm of nature mine,
That were a present far too small;
Love so amazing, so divine,
Demands my soul, my life, my all.
Long ago the maids drew water
In the evening time, they say.
One day Isaac sent his servant
To stop Rebekah on her way.
“My master sent me here to tell thee;
See these jewels rich and rare;
Would’st thou not his lovely bride be
In that country over there?”
Chorus
It shall be light in the evening time,
The path to glory you will surely find;
Thru the water way, It is the light today,
Buried in the precious Name of Jesus.
Young and old, repent of all your sin,
The Holy Ghost will surely enter in;
The evening Light has come,
It is a fact that God and Christ are one.
So God’s servants come to tell you
Of a Bridegroom in the sky,
Looking for a holy people
To be His bride soon, by and by;
He sends to us refreshing water
In this wondrous latter day;
They who really will be raptured
Must go thru the water way.
Are you on your way to ruin,
Cumbered with a load of care?
See the quick work God is doing
That so His glory you may share.
At last the faith He once delivered
To the saints, is ours today;
To get in the Church triumphant
You must go the water way.
Have you looked and often wondered
Why the power is slack today?
Will you stay in that back number
And go on in the man-made way?
O saints who never have been buried In the
blessed name of God,
Let the truth now sanctify you:
It’s the way apostles trod.
103 Don’t Forget the Family Prayer
Don’t forget the family prayer,
Jesuswants to meet you there;
He will takeyour every care,
Oh, don’t forget the family prayer
Crying Holy unto the Lord,
Crying Holy unto the Lord,
If I could, I surely would
Stand on that rock where Moses stood.
In a manger long ago,
I know it’s really so,
A Babe was born
To save men from their sin.
John saw Him on the shore,
The Lamb forevermore,
Oh, the Christ,
The Crucified of Calvary.
CHORUS
Oh I love that Man from Galilee,
For He’s done so very much for me.
He’s forgiven all my sins,
Placed the Holy Ghost within;
Oh I love that man
from Galilee.
The publican went to pray
In the temple there one day,
He cried, “O Lord
be merciful to me!”
He was forgiven of every sin,
And a deep peace placed within;
He said, “Come see this Man
from Galilee.”
The lame was made to walk,
The dumb was made to talk,
That power was spoken with
Love upon the sea;
The blind was made to see,
I know it could only be
The mercy of that Man
from Galilee.
Nicodemus came by night,
To know the way of right,
He asked the Son of Man
What must he do.
These words He said to him,
“Ye must be born again,”
By the Spirit of that Man
from Galilee.
The woman at the well,
He all her sins did tell,
How five husbands
She had at that time,
She was forgiven of every sin,
And a deep peace came within;
Then she cried, “Come see that
Man from Galilee!”
Reach out and touch the Lord
As He goes by,
You’ll find He’s not too busy,
To hear your heart’s cry;
He’s passing by this moment,
Your needs to supply,
Reach out and touch the Lord
As He goes by.
107 IN THAT CITY, LAMB IS LIGHT
There’s a country far beyond the starry sky,
There’s a city where there never comes a night;
If we’re faithful we shall go there by and by,
It’s the city where the Lamb is the light.
CHORUS
In that city where the Lamb is the light,
The city where there cometh no night;
I’ve a mansion over there,
and when free from toil and care,
I am going where the Lamb is the light.
Here we have our days of sunshine, but we know
That the sun which shines upon us now so bright
Will be changed to clouds and rain until we go
To the City where the Lamb is the light.
There the flowers bloom forever and the day
Shall be one eternal day without a night;
And our tears shall be forever wiped away,
In that city where the Lamb is the light.
Here we have our disappointments all the while,
And our fondest hopes but meet with bitter blight;
Though by night we weep, the morning brings a
smile, In that city where the Lamb is the light.
Then let sunlight fade, let twilight bring its gloom.
Not a shadow can my blissful soul affright;
For I know that up in heaven there is room,
In that city where the Lamb is the light.
I’m so glad Jesus set me free,
I’m so glad Jesus set me free,
I’m so glad Jesus set me free,
Singing, glory, hallelujah,
Jesus set me free.
I’m so glad Jesus lifted me,
I’m so glad Jesus lifted me,
I’m so glad Jesus lifted me,
Singing, glory, hallelujah,
Jesus set me free.
I’m on my way to Heaven,
Shouting “victory”
I’m on my way to Heaven,
Shouting “victory”
I’m on my way to Heaven,
Shouting “victory”
Singing, glory, hallelujah,
Jesus set me free.
Satan had me bound,
But Jesus set me free,
Satan had me bound,
But Jesus set me free,
Satan had me bound,
But Jesus set me free,
Singing, glory, hallelujah,
Jesus set me free.
Here so many are taking vacation,
To the mountains, the lakes or the sea;
Where they rest from their cares and their worries,
What a wonderful that must be!
But it seems not my lot to be like them,
I must toil thru the heat and the cold,
Seeking out the lost sheep on the mountains,
Bringing wanderers back to the fold.
CHORUS
When I take my vacation in heaven,
What a wonderful time that will be;
Hearing concerts by the heavenly Chorus,
And the face of my Savior I’ll see;
Sitting down by the banks of the river;
‘Neath the shade of the ever green tree,
I shall rest from my burdens forever,
Won’t you spend your vacation with me?
Now some day I shall take my vacation
To the city John tells us about;
With its foundation walls all so precious,
Where from gladness of heart I shall shout!
O no sights ever witnessed by mortals,
Can compare with the glories up there
I shall spend my vacation with Jesus,
In the place He went on to prepare.
There the weather will always be perfect.
Not a cloud shall sweep over the sky;
and no earthquakes or cyclones shall threaten,
In the land of the Sweet by and by;
Soon there’s going to be an excursion,
I am booked for a ride in the air.
You’re invited to share my vacation,
And the feast with our Bridegroom to share.
Here on earth when we take our vacation,
We return to our homes by and by;
When I take my vacation in heaven,
In those mansions of gold in the sky.
I shall dwell with my Savior forever,
With Him sit on His Heavenly Throne;
All the days will be one, long vacation,
When my Savior takes me to His home.
Oh it is Jesus! Yes, it is Jesus!
Oh it is Jesus in my soul;
For I have touched
The hem of His garment,
And His blood has made me whole.
When the great plants of our cities
have turned out their last finished work,
When our merchants have sold their last yard of goods
and dismissed the last tired clerk,
When our banks have raked in their last dollar
and paid the last dividends,
When the Judge of the earth say, “closed for the night,”
and asks for a balance What Then?
CHORUS
What then? What then?
When the great Book is opened,
what then?
When the ones that’s rejecting
this Message tonight,
Will be asked to give a reason
What Then?
When the choir has sung its last song
and the preacher has said his last prayer,
When the people have heard their last sermon
and the sound has died out in the air,
When the Bible lies closed on the altar
and the pews are all empty of folks,
And each one stands facing his record
and the great Book is opened What Then?
When the actors have played their last drama
and the mimic has made his last fun,
When the film has flashed its last film
and the billboard displayed its last run,
When the crowds seeking pleasure have vanished
and all the liquor stores and beer joints have been closed,
And the salesman sold his last drink
and gone out in the darkness,
When the trumpet of ages is sounded
and we stand before Him What Then?
When the bugle call sinks into silence
and the long marching columns stand still,
And the captain repeats his last orders,
And the flag has been hauled from the mast.
And the wounded afield checked in
and a world that rejects its Saviour
is asked for a reason What Then?
Faith in the Father,
And faith in the Son,
Faith in the Holy Ghost,
These three are One;
Demons will tremble,
And sinners awake;
Faith in Jehovah
Can anything shake.
If the world from you withholds
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.
CHORUS
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.
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.
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 through;
Take your burden to the Lord
And leave it there.
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.
114 I Can, I Will, I Do Believe
I can, I will, I do believe,
I can, I will, I do believe;
I can, I will, I do believe
That Jesus heals me now.
I’m trusting only in the Lord,
I’m trusting only in the Lord,
I’m trusting only in the Lord,
That Jesus heals me now.
I’m trusting only in the Word,
I’m trusting only in the Word,
I’m trusting only in the Word,
That Jesus heals me now.
He broke my chains and set me free,
He broke my chains and set me free,
He broke my chains and set me free,
I’ll serve Him till I die.
Isn’t He wonderful, wonderful, wonderful?
Isn’t Jesus my Lord wonderful?
Eyes have seen, ears have heard,
what’s recorded in God’s Word:
Isn’t Jesus my Lord wonderful?
We’re floating down the stream of time,
We have not long to stay;
The stormy clouds of darkness
Will turn to brightest day.
Then let us all take courage,
For we’re not left alone;
The lifeboat soon is coming
To gather the Jewels home.
Chorus
Then cheer, my brother, cheer,
Our trial will soon be o’er,
Our loved ones we shall meet, shall meet,
Upon the golden shore.
We’re pilgrims and we’re strangers here,
We’re seeking a city to come,
The lifeboat soon is coming,
To gather the Jewels home.
Sometimes the Devil tempts me,
And says it’s all in vain
To try to live a Christian life
And walk in Jesus’ name;
But then we hear the Master say,
“I’ll lend you a helping hand,
And if you’ll only trust Me,
I’ll guide you to the land.”
The lifeboat soon is coming,
By eyes of faith I see
As she sweeps through the waters
To rescue you and me,
And land us safely in the port
With friends we love so dear.
“Get ready,” cries the Captain;
“Oh, look, she’s almost here.”
Oh, now’s the time to get on board,
While she is passing by;
But if you stand and wait too long,
You shall forever die;
The fare is paid for one and all,
The Captain bids you come,
And get on board the lifeboat,
She’ll carry you safely home.
117 It Shall Flow Like A River
It shall flow like a river.
It shall fall like the rain.
It shall rise as the dew
in morning o’er the plain;
For the knowledge of the Lord
shall fill all the earth
When the Spirit of the Lord shall fall.
Flow, river, flow; flow, river, flow;
Flow out through the nations
wherever man may go;
Cause life to spring forth,
that all men may know
That You’re the river of the Spirit;
Oh, flow, river, flow.
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 shining angel,
And stood on the land and the sea,
And swore with his hand raised to heaven,
That time was no longer to be.
CHORUS
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 prayers were too late.
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.
The widow was there with the orphans,
God heard and remembered their cries;
No sorrow in heaven forever.
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.
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.
I have crossed the riven veil
where the glory never fails,
Hallelujah, Hallelujah;
I have crossed the riven veil
where the glory never fails,
For I’m living in the presence of the King.
I heard my loving Savior say,
There’s room at the fountain for thee,
Come, wash the stains of sin away,
There’s room at the fountain for thee.
CHORUS
Room, room yes, there is room,
Room at the fountain for thee;
Room, room, yes, there is room,
There’s room at the fountain for thee.
I came to Him, my sins confessed,
There was room at the fountain for me;
When I gave up, my heart was blest,
There’s room at the fountain for thee.
I plunged beneath the crimson tide,
There was room at the fountain for me;
And now by faith am sanctified,
There’s room at the fountain for thee.
I found the crimson stream I know,
There was room at the fountain for me;
His blood has washed me white as snow,
There’s room at the fountain for thee.
He cleansed my heart from inbred sin,
There was room at the fountain for me;
And now He keeps me pure within,
There’s room at the fountain for thee.
I’ll praise Him while He gives me breath,
There was room at the fountain for me;
He saved me from an awful death.
There’s room at the fountain for thee.
His blood was shed but once for all,
There was room at the fountain for me;
Oh, don’t reject sweet Mercy’s call,
There’s room at the fountain for thee.
We’ll sing with all the saints above,
There was room at the fountain for me;
And praise Him for redeeming love,
There’s room at the fountain for thee.
Come and go with me
To my Father’s House,
To my Father’s House,
To my Father’s House.
Come and go with me,
To my Father’s House,
Where There’s peace, peace, peace.
Jesus will be there
In my Father’s House
In my Father’s House,
In my Father’s House.
Jesus will be there
In my Father’s House,
Where there’s peace, peace, peace.
There’ll be no sorrow there
In my Father’s House,
In my Father’s House,
In my Father’s House.
There’ll be no sorrow there
In my Father’s House.
There’ll be joy, real joy.
Just another touch, Lord, from You,
To help in hard trials I go through;
Though dark may be the night,
You’ll send a ray of light,
When I get a touch, Lord, from You.
There’s a holy and beautiful city,
Whose builder and ruler is God.
John saw it descending from heaven
When Patmos, in exile, he trod;
Its high, massive wall is of jasper,
The city itself is pure gold;
And when my frail tent here is folded,
eyes shall its glory behold.
CHORUS
In that bright city, pearly white city,
I have a mansion, a harp, and a crown;
Now I am watching, waiting and longing,
For the white city John saw coming down.
No sin is allowed in that city,
And nothing defiling nor mean;
No pain and no sickness can enter,
No crape on the doorknob is seen;
Earth’s sorrows and cares are forgotten,
No tempter is there to annoy;
No parting words ever are spoken,
There’s nothing to hurt and destroy.
No heartaches are known in that city,
No tears ever moisten the eye,
There’s no disappointment in heaven,
No envy and strife in the sky;
The saints are all sanctified wholly,
They live in sweet harmony there;
My heart is now set on that city,
And some day its blessings I’ll share.
My loved ones are gathering yonder,
My friends, too, are passing away;
And soon I shall join their bright number,
And dwell in eternity’s day;
They’re safe now in glory with Jesus,
Their trials and battles are past;
They overcome sin and the tempter,
They’ve reached that fair city at last.
I am weak but Thou art strong,
Jesus keep me from all wrong;
I’ll be satisfied as long,
As I walk let me walk close to Thee.
CHORUS
Just a closer walk with Thee,
Grant it, Jesus, is my plea;
Daily walking close to Thee,
Let it be, dear Lord, let it be.
Thru this world of toil and snares,
If I falter, Lord, who cares?
Who with me my burden shares?
None but Thee, dear Lord, none but Thee.
When my feeble life is o’er,
Time for me will be no more;
Guide me gently, safely o’er,
To Thy kingdom shore, to Thy shore.
We’re looking for His coming,
in the clouds of heaven,
Coming back to earth
to catch away His own;
Then may we all be ready,
when midnight cry is given,
To go and reign with Christ
on His throne.
Chorus
Gladly may we herald the message
Of His blessed appearing,
Soon He’s coming in glory,
Tell to one and all;
Then awake, ye saints of the Lord,
Why slumber when the end is nearing,
But get ready for the final call.
We’re longing for the glory
that awaits the faithful,
Who shall overcome,
and ev’ry conflict win;
Press ever bravely onward,
the prize is life eternal
To all who win the fight over sin.
We’re praying for the advent
of our blessed Savior,
Who has promised life
to all who trust His grace;
His coming now is pending,
the message being given,
And soon we’ll see our Lord
face to face.
We see the signs appearing
of His blessed coming,
Lo, behold the fig leaves
now becoming green;
The gospel of His kingdom
has gone to ev’ry nation;
That we are near the end
can be seen.
The sheep of His pasture have gathered
To hear what the Shepherd would say,
His voice like the sound of slow waters,
Came rippling through vessels of clay.
‘Tis the voice that brought forth creation
And set all the stars in array,
And speaks words of Life and of wisdom,
In the midst of His people today.
Through prophets, by precious blood purchased,
Cleansed and surrendered and filled.
And set in the Body for service,
As the Head of the Body hath willed.
127 Are You Washed in the Blood?
Have you been to Jesus
for the cleansing pow’r?
Are you washed in the blood
of the Lamb?
Are you fully trusting
in His grace this hour?
Are you washed in the blood
of the Lamb?
CHORUS
Are you washed in the blood,
In the soul-cleansing blood
of the Lamb?
Are your garments spotless?
Are they white as snow?
Are you washed in the blood
of the Lamb?
Are you walking daily
by the Savior’s side?
Are you washed in the blood
of the Lamb?
Do you rest each
moment in the Crucified?
Are you washed in the blood
of the Lamb?
When the Bridegroom cometh
will your robes be white?
Are you washed in the blood
of the Lamb?
Will your soul be ready
for the mansions bright,
And be washed in the blood
of the Lamb?
Lay aside the garments
that are stained with sin,
Are you washed in the blood
of the Lamb?
There’s a fountain flowing
for the soul unclean,
Oh be washed in the blood
of the Lamb.
Yes, I’m washed in the blood
In the soul-cleansing blood
of the Lamb.
Yes, my garments are spotless,
they are white as snow.
Yes, I’m washed in the blood
of the Lamb.
Jesus loves me! this I know,
For the Bible tells me so;
Little ones to Him belong,
They are weak but He is strong.
CHORUS
Yes, Jesus loves me,
Yes, Jesus loves me,
Yes, Jesus loves me,
The Bible tells me so.
Jesus loves me! He who died,
Heaven’s gate to open wide;
He will wash away my sin.
Let His little child come in.
Jesus loves me! loves me still,
Though I’m very weak and ill;
From His shining throne on high,
Comes to watch me where I lie.
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.
Have you been baptized into the Body?
Baptized with the Holy Ghost;
There is but one way to enter in it,
Justas they did on Pentecost.
CHORUS
Are you in the Church triumphant?
Are you in the Saviour’s Bride?
Come and be baptized into the Body,
And forevermore abide.
There is but one Church, Bride or Body,
And into it we’re all baptized;
By the one, true, promised Holy Spirit;
Though by the world we’re all despised.
Every creed has claimed to be the Body,
But the plumb line proved untrue
All their dreams, for God has so determined
To bring His Son’s true Bride to view.
Many thought that they were in the Body,
‘Till the Holy Ghost had come;
When the Word of God was opened to them,
They entered in, and yet there’s room.
Those who died before the Holy Spirit
Came upon us from on high,
May, by faith with Saints of old departed,
Arise to meet Him in the sky.
When the Bridegroom comes, will you be ready;
And your vessel all filled and bright?
You will be among the foolish virgins
If you do not walk in the light
We find many people
Who can’t understand
Why we are so happy and free,
We’ve crossed over Jordan
To Canaan’s fair land,
And this is like heaven to me.
CHORUS
Oh this is like heaven to me,
Yes, this is like heaven to me.
I’ve crossed over Jordan
To Canaan’s fair land,
And this is like heaven to me.
So when I get happy
I sing and I shout,
The devil don’t like it I see see;
But I’m filled with the Spirit,
There isn’t a doubt,
And that’s what’s the matter with me.
We’ve heard the sweet music,
The heavenly chord
From glory land over the sea;
A soul-thrilling message
From Jesus our Lord,
And this is like heaven to me.
131 What would you give in exchange?
Brother a-far from the Saviour today,
Risking your soul for the things that decay,
Oh, if today God should call it away,
What would you give in exchange for your soul?
CHORUS
What would you give? What would you give?
What would you give in exchange for your soul?
Oh, if today God should call it away,
What would you give in exchange for your soul?
Mercy is calling you, won’t you give heed?
Must the dear Saviour still tenderly plead?
Risk not your soul, it is precious indeed;
What would you give in exchange for your soul?
More than the silver and gold of the earth,
More than all jewels thy spirit is worth!
God, the Creator, has given it birth!
What would you give in exchange for your soul?
If, when you stand at the bar by and by,
When you are weighed in the balance on high,
You should be sentenced forever to die.
What would you give in exchange for your soul?
A wonderful time is just ahead,
The Lord Whom we love and own
Will open the gates of gloryland
Revealing His glory throne.
CHORUS
A wonderful time for you,
A wonderful time for me;
If we are prepared to meet Jesus the King,
A wonderful time it will be.
A wonderful time is just ahead,
Ourconflicts and trials passed;
Ourwilderness journey at an end,
Safe home everyone at last.
A wonderful time is just ahead,
Thegroans of creation cease;
And all thatis held in bondage now
The Lord willthat day release.
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 reached down His hand
forme, for me.
CHORUS
When He reached down His hand for me,
When He reached down His hand for me;
I was lost and undone,
withoutGod or His Son,
When He reached down His hand
for me, for me.
I was nearing despair,
when He cameto me there,
And He showed me that
I could be free;
Then He lifted my feet,
gave me glory complete,
When He reached down His hand
for me, for me.
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 reached down
His hand for me, for me.
Since the Lord gave me peace,
heavenly 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 reached down your hand
for me, for me.
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.
CHORUS
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.
Who’ll go and help this Shepherd kind,
Help Him the wandering ones to find?
Who’ll bring the lost ones the fold,
Where they’ll be sheltered from the cold?
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’er they be.”
Oh Lord my God!
When I in awesome wonder,
Consider all the worlds
Thy hands have made;
I see the stars,
I hear the rolling thunder,
Thy pow’r throughout
The universe displayed.
CHORUS
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!
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.
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.
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!
They were in an upper chamber,
They were all with one accord,
When the Holy Ghost descended,
As was promised by our Lord.
Chorus
O Lord, send the pow’r just now,
O Lord, send the pow’r just now,
O Lord, send the pow’r just now,
And baptize ev’ry one.
Yes, this pow’r from heav’n descended,
With the sound of rushing wind;
Tongues of fire came down upon them,
As the Lord said He would send.
Yes, this “old-time” pow’r was given
To our fathers who were true;
This is promised to believers,
And we all may have it, too.
137 There Is Power In The Blood
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.
CHORUS
There is power, power,
wonder-working pow’r
In the blood of the Lamb;
There is power, power
wonder-working pow’r
In the precious blood
of the Lamb.
Would you be free
From your passion and pride?
There’s pow’r in the blood,
pow’r in the blood;
Come for a cleansing
to Calvary’s tide;
There’s wonderful pow’r
in the blood.
Would you be whiter,
much whiter than snow?
There’s pow’r in the blood,
pow’r in the blood;
Sin-stains are lost
in its life-giving flow;
There’s wonderful pow’r
in the blood.
Would you do service
for Jesus your King?
There’s pow’r in the blood,
pow’r in the blood;
Would you live daily
His praises to sing?
There’s wonderful pow’r
in the blood.
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.
CHORUS
On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand,
All other ground is sinking sand.
When darkness seems to hide His face,
I rest on His unchanging grace;
In every high and stormy gale,
My anchor holds within the veil.
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.
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.
I’m rejoicing night and day,
As I walk the pilgrim way,
For the hand of God in all my life I see,
And the reason of my bliss,
Yes, the secret all is this:
That the Comforter abides with me.
CHORUS
He abides, He abides,
Hallelujah, He abides with me
I’m rejoicing night and day,
As I walk the narrow way,
For the Comforter abides with me.
Once my heart was full of sin,
Once I had no peace within,
Till I heard how Jesus died upon the tree;
Then I fell down at His feet,
And there came a peace so sweet,
Now the Comforter abides with me.
He is with me everywhere,
And He knows my every care
I’m as happy as a bird and just as free;
For the Spirit has control,
Jesus satisfies my soul,
Since the Comforter abides with me!
There’s no thirsting for the things
Of the world, they’ve taken wings;
Long ago I gave them up, and instantly
All my night was turned to day,
All my burdens rolled away,
Now the Comforter abides with me!
Redeemed how I love to proclaim it!
Redeemed by the blood of the Lamb;
Redeemed through His infinite mercy,
His child and forever, I am.
CHORUS
Redeemed, redeemed,
Redeemed by the blood of the Lamb;
Redeemed, redeemed,
His child, and forever, I am.
Redeemed and so happy in Jesus,
No language my rapture can tell;
I know that the light of His presence
With me doth continually dwell.
I think of my blessed Redeemer,
I think of Him all the day long;
I sing, for I cannot be silent;
His love is the theme of my song.
I know I shall see in His beauty
The King in whose law I delight;
Who lovingly guardeth my footsteps,
And giveth me songs in the night.
What can wash away my sin?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
What can make me whole again?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
CHORUS
Oh! precious is the flow
That makes me white as snow;
No other fount I know,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
For my pardon this I see
Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
For my cleansing, this my plea
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
Nothing can for sin atone
Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
Naught of good that I have done
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
This is all my hope and peace
Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
This is all my righteousness
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
All ye saints of light proclaim,
Jesus, the light of the world;
Life and mercy in His name,
Jesus, the light of the world.
CHORUS
We’ll walk in the light,
the beautiful light,
Come where the dewdrops
of mercy are bright;
Shine all around us
by day and by night,
Jesus, the light of the world.
Hear the Saviour’s earnest call,
Jesus, the light of the world;
Send the Gospel truth to all,
Jesus, the light of the world.
Why not seek Him then today,
Jesus, the light of the world;
Go with truth the narrow way,
Jesus, the light of the world.
Come, confess Him as your King,
Jesus, the light of the world;
Then the bells of heaven will ring,
Jesus, the light of the world.
Oft times the day seems long,
our trials hard to bear;
We’re tempted to complain,
to murmur and despair;
But Christ will soon appear,
to catch His bride away,
All tears forever over,
in God’s eternal day.
CHORUS
It will be worth it all, when we see Jesus;
Life’s trials will seem so small,
when we see Christ;
One glimpse of His dear face,
all sorrow will erase,
So bravely run the race
till we see Christ.
Sometimes the sky looks dark,
with not a ray of light;
We’re tossed and driven on,
no human help in sight;
But there is One in heaven,
who knows our deepest care,
Let Jesus solve your problem,
just go to Him in prayer.
Life’s day will soon be o’er,
all storms forever past;
We’ll cross the great divide, to glory safe at last;
We’ll share the joys of heaven,
a harp, a home, a crown;
The tempter will be banished,
we’ll lay our burden down.
Blessed be the fountain of blood,
To a world of sinners revealed;
Blessed be the dear Son of God:
Only by His stripes we are healed.
Though I’ve wandered far from His fold,
Bringing to my heart pain and woe,
Wash me in the blood of the Lamb,
And I shall be whiter than snow.
CHORUS
Whiter than the snow,
Whiter than the snow;
Wash me in the blood of the Lamb,
And I shall be whiter than snow.
Thorny was the crown that He wore,
And the cross His body o’ercame;
Grievous were the sorrows he bore,
But He suffered thus not in vain.
May I to that fountain be led,
Made to cleanse my sins here below;
Wash me in the blood that He shed,
And I shall be whiter than snow.
Father, I have wandered from Thee,
Often has my heart gone astray;
Crimson do my sins seem to me
Water cannot wash them away.
Jesus, to that fountain of Thine,
Leaning on Thy promise, I go;
Cleanse me by Thy washing divine,
And I shall be whiter than snow.
145 All hail the power of Jesus’ name!
All hail the power of Jesus’ name!
Let angels prostrate fall;
Bring forth the royal diadem,
And crown Him Lord of all;
Bring forth the royal diadem,
And crown Him Lord of all!
Ye chosen seed of Israel’s race,
Ye ransomed from the fall,
Hail Him who saves you by His grace,
And crown Him Lord of all;
Hail Him who saves you by His grace,
And crown Him Lord of all;
Let ev’ry kindred, ev’ry tribe
On this terrestrial ball,
To Him all majesty ascribe,
And crown Him Lord of all;
To Him all majesty ascribe,
And crown Him Lord of all!
Oh that with yonder sacred throng
We at His feet may fall!
We’ll join the everlasting song,
And crown Him Lord of all;
We’ll join the everlasting song,
And crown Him Lord of all!
Hail Him, ye heirs of David’s line,
Whom David Lord did call,
The God incarnate, Man divine,
And crown Him Lord of all,
The God incarnate, Man divine,
and crown Him Lord of all.
Sinners, whose love can ne’er forget
The wormwood and the gall,
Go spread your trophies at His feet,
And crown Him Lord of all.
Go spread your trophies at His feet,
And crown Him Lord of all.
And crown Him Lord of all!
And crown Him Lord of all!
And crown Him Lord of all!
And crown Him Lord of all!
Alas, and did my Savior Bleed?
And did my Sovereign die?
Would He devote that sacred head
For such a worm as I?
CHORUS
At the cross, at the cross
Where I first saw the light,
And the burdens of my heart,
rolled away,
It was there by faith,
I received my sight
And now I am happy all the day.
Was it for crimes that I have done,
He groaned upon the tree?
Amazing pity! grace unknown!
And love beyond degree!
Well might the sun in darkness hide,
And shut His glories in,
When Christ, the mighty Maker, died
For man the creature’s sin.
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!
I AM that spoke to Moses
in the burning bush of fire,
I AM the God of Abraham,
the Bright and Morning Star.
I AM the Rose of Sharon,
frombeginning whence I came;
I AM the whole creation,
and Jesus is My Name.
CHORUS
Oh, who do you say I am,
and whence do you say I came,
Do you know the Father,
and can you tell His Name?
In Jesus dwells the fullness
of the Godhead, don’t you see;
Jesus is the great I AM,
and the Lord of lords is He.
I AM was before old Abraham,
He rejoiced to see My day.
When Jesus spoke these precious words,
they stoned Him right away.
Why do you stone Me?
Jesus said, in a holy sweet command.
Because you say you’re the great I AM,
we believe you’re just a man.
It was on the Day of Pentecost,
oh, how the fire did fall;
The Holy Ghost descended
and filled them one and all.
Then Peter told the multitude,
Repent of all your sins.
About three thousand souls were buried
in Jesus’ precious Name.
“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.”
“Almost persuaded,”
Come, come today;
“Almost persuaded,”
Turn not away;
Jesus invites you here,
Angels are ling’ring near,
Prayers rise from hearts so dear,
Oh wand’rer, come.
“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!
There’s no disappointment in heaven,
No weariness, sorrow or pain;
No hearts that are bleeding and broken,
No song with a minor refrain.
The clouds of our earthly horizon
Will never appear in the sky,
For all will be sunshine and gladness,
With never a sob nor a sigh.
CHORUS
I’m bound for that beautiful city
My Lord has prepared for His own;
Where all the redeemed of all ages
Sing Glory! around the white throne;
Sometimes I grow homesick for heaven,
And the glories I there shall behold;
What a joy that will be when my Saviour I see,
In that beautiful city of gold!
We’ll never pay rent for our mansion,
The taxes will never come due;
Our garments will never grow threadbare,
But always be fadeless and new.
We’ll never be hungry nor thirsty,
Nor languish in poverty there.
For all the rich bounties of heaven
His sanctified children will share.
There’ll never be crape on the doorknob,
No funeral train in the sky;
No graves on the hillsides of glory.
For there we shall nevermore die.
The old will be young there forever.
Transformed in a moment of time;
Immortal we’ll stand in His likeness.
The stars and the sun to outshine.
Oh happy day that fixed my choice
On Thee, my Savior and my God!
Well may this glowing heart rejoice,
And tell its raptures all abroad.
CHORUS
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.
Oh happy bond, that seals my vows
To Him who merits all my love!
Let cherrfull anthems fill His house
While to that sacred shrine I move.
‘Tis done, the great transaction’s done;
I am my Lord’s, and He is mine;
He drew me, and I followed on,
Charmed to confess the voice divine.
Now rest, my long-divided heart;
Fixed on this blissful center, rest;
Nor ever from my Lord depart,
With Him of every good possessed.
There are people almost everywhere,
Whose hearts are all aflame,
With the fire that fell at Pentecost,
Which cleansed and made them clean;
It is burning now within my heart,
All glory to His name!
I’m so glad that I can say
I’m one of them!
CHORUS
One of them, one of them,
I’m so glad that I can say
I’m one of them!
One of them, one of them,
I’m so glad that I can say
I’m one of them!
Though these people may not
learned be,
Nor boast of worldly fame,
They have all received their Pentecost,
Baptized in Jesus’ name;
And are telling now, both far and wide,
His pow’r is yet the same,
I’m so glad that I can say
I’m one of them!
They were gathered in the upper room,
All praying in His name,
They were baptized with the
Holy Ghost,
And pow’r for service came;
Now what He did for them that day
He’ll do for you the same;
I’m so glad that I can say
I’m one of them!
Come, my brother, seek this blessing
That will cleanse your heart from sin,
That will start the joy-bells ringing
And will keep the soul aflame;
It is burning now within my heart,
All glory to His name,
I’m so glad that I can say
I’m one of them!
When the Saviour calls I will answer,
When He calls for me I will hear;
When the Saviour calls I will answer,
I’ll be somewhere list’ning for my name.
CHORUS
I’ll be somewhere list’ning,
I’ll be somewhere list’ning,
I’ll be somewhere list’ning for my name;
I’ll be somewhere list’ning,
I’ll be somewhere list’ning,
I’ll be somewhere list’ning for my name.
If my heart is right when He calls me,
If my heart is right I will hear;
If my heart is right when He calls me,
I’ll be somewhere list’ning for my name.
If my robe is white when He calls me,
If my robe is white I will hear;
If my robe is white when He calls me,
I’ll be somewhere list’ning for my name.
Upon our journey here below
we meet with pain and loss;
Sometimes there is a crown of thorns,
sometimes the heavy cross.
The dreary road to Calvary,
the bitter goad and sting,
But what’s inside those gates of pearl
will be worth everything.
CHORUS
When we’re inside the gates of pearl,
We’ll learn a lot of things,
We’ll have a harp that’s made of gold,
Perhaps a thousand strings;
We’ll sing and shout and dance about,
The Lamb will dry our tears;
We’ll have a grand homecoming week,
The first ten thousand years.
The shadows now begin to fall,
the time is drawing nigh,
When Christ our Lord shall come again
like lightning from the sky.
And while we wait and suffer here,
praise God, we’ll shout and sing,
For one glimpse through those gates
of pearl will be worth everything.
The precious blood of God’s own Son
has saved and sanctified
A wondrous people for His name
and they are called the Bride.
Though here neglected and despised,
one day the Lord will bring
His chosen ones within the gates,
and that’s worth everything.
Just as I am, without one plea,
But that Thy blood was shed for me,
And that Thou bidd’st me come to Thee,
Oh Lamb of God, I come! I come!
Just as I am, and waiting not,
To rid my soul of one dark blot,
To Thee whose blood can cleanse
each spot,
Oh Lamb of God, I come! I come!
Just as I am, tho’ tossed about
With many a conflict, many a doubt,
Fightings and fears within, without,
Oh Lamb of God, I come! I come!
Just as I am, poor, wretched, blind;
Sight, riches, healing of the mind,
Yea, all I need, in Thee to find,
Oh Lamb of God, I come! I come!
Just as I am, Thou wilt receive,
Wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve;
Because Thy promise I believe,
Oh Lamb of God, I come! I come!
Well, I’m tired and so weary,
But I must go along;
Till the Lord comes and calls
Me away, oh, yes;
Well the morning is bright
And the Lamb is the Light;
And the night, night is as fair
As the day, oh yes.
CHORUS
There will be peace in the valley
For me some day;
There will be peace in the valley
For me, oh, Lord, I pray;
There’ll be no sadness, no sorrow,
no trouble I’ll see;
There will be peace
In the valley for me.
There the flow’rs will be blooming,
And the grass will be green;
And the skies will be clear
And serene, oh, yes;
Well the sun ever beams,
In this valley of dreams;
And no clouds there will ever
Be seen,oh, yes.
Well, the bear will be gentle,
And the wolf will be tame;
And the lion shall lay down
By the lamb, oh, yes;
Well the beast from the wild,
Shall be led by a little child;
And I’ll be changed, changed
From this creature that I am, oh, yes.
There is a Name I love to hear,
it falls like music on my ear,
It’s the Name of Jesus Christ the Lord;
He came from the Father in Heaven above,
He died on the cross just to show us His love;
Jesus, yes, Jesus is His Name.
CHORUS
Great is the Lord! Great is the Lord!
Great is the Father, great is the Son,
Great is the Holy Ghost,
and these three are One;
Jesus, yes, Jesus is His Name.
He is the dear Saviour of men,
He gave His own life just to free us from sin,
It’s the Name of Jesus Christ the Lord;
the wonderful Counselor, the Man from Galilee,
He calmed the angry waters and He walked on the sea;
Jesus, yes, Jesus is His Name.
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 gathering o’er,
I rest upon His mercy
And trust Him more.
CHORUS
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 power to save,
I’ve anchored to the Rock of Ages.
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 deliverer,
To Him I all confide,
For always when I need Him,
He’s at my side,
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.
Beyond the sunset,
Oh blissful morning,
When with our Saviour
Heaven is begun.
Earth’s toiling ended,
Oh glorious dawning;
Beyond the sunset,
when day is done.
Beyond the sunset
No clouds will gather,
No storms will threaten,
No fears annoy.
Oh day of gladness,
Oh day unending;
Beyond the sunset, eternal joy.
Beyond the sunset,
A hand will guide me
To God, the Father,
Whom I adore;
His glorious presence,
His words of welcome,
Will be my portion
On that fair shore.
Beyond the sunset,
Oh glad reunion,
With our dear loved ones
Who’ve gone before.
In that fair homeland
We’ll know no parting
Beyond the sunset forevermore.
My Father is rich in
houses and lands,
He holdeth the wealth of
the world in His hands!
Of rubies and diamonds,
of silver and gold
His coffers are full,
He has riches untold.
CHORUS
I’m a child of the King!
A child of the King!
With Jesus my Saviour,
I’m a child of the King!
My Father’s own Son,
the Saviour of men,
Once wandered o’er earth
as the poorest of them;
But now He is reigning
forever on high,
And will give me a home
in heav’n by and by.
I once was an outcast,
stranger on earth,
A sinner by choice,
and an alien by birth!
But I’ve been adopted,
my name’s written down,
An heir to a mansion,
a robe, and a crown.
A tent or a cottage,
why should I care?
They’re building a palace
for me over there!
Though exiled from home,
yet still I may sing:
All glory to God,
I’m a child of the King!
Time is filled with swift transition,
Naught of earth unmoved can stand,
Build your hopes on things eternal,
Hold to God’s unchanging hand!
CHORUS
Hold to God’s unchanging hand!
Hold to God’s unchanging hand!
Build your hopes on things eternal,
Hold to God’s unchanging hand!
Trust in Him who will not leave you,
Whatsoever years may bring,
If by earthly friends forsaken,
Still more closely to Him cling!
Covet not this world’s vain riches,
That so rapidly decay,
Seek to gain the heavenly treasures,
They will never pass away!
When your journey is completed,
If to God you have been true,
Fair and bright the home in glory,
Your enraptured soul will view!
Nations are breaking,
Israel’s awaking,
The signs that the prophets
foretold;
The Gentile days numbered,
With horrors encumbered;
Eternity soon will unfold.
CHORUS
The day of redemption is near,
Men’s hearts are failing for fear;
Be filled with the Spirit,
Your lamps trimmed and clear,
Look up! Your redemption is near.
The fig tree is growing;
Jerusalem’s restoring
Her national life, long dethroned;
Today she is calling,
Her latter rain’s falling,
“Return, Oh dispersed, to your own.”
Heaven’s powers are shaking,
And many are mistaking
God’s meaning to be of the sky;
God’s Church is the power
That’s shaking this hour:
The day of redemption is nigh.
False prophets are lying,
God’s Truth they’re denying,
That Jesus the Christ is our God;
Though this generation
Spurns God’s revelation,
We’ll walk where the apostles
have trod.
Come, every soul by sin oppressed,
There’s mercy with the Lord,
And He will surely give you rest
By trusting in His word.
CHORUS
Only trust Him, only trust Him,
Only trust Him now;
He will save you, He will save you,
He will save you now.
For Jesus shed His precious blood,
Rich blessings to bestow;
Plunge now into the crimson flood
That washes white as snow.
Yes, Jesus is the Truth, the Way,
That leads you into rest:
Believe in Him without delay,
And you are fully blest.
Come, then, and join this holy band,
And on to glory go,
To dwell in that celestial land,
Where joys immortal flow.
One day when heaven
Was filled with His praises,
One day when sin
Was as black as could be,
Jesus came forth
To be born of a virgin –
Dwelt amongst men,
My example is He!
CHORUS
Living, He loved me;
Dying, He saved me;
Buried, He carried
My sins far away;
Rising, He justified
Freely forever:
One day He’s coming –
Oh, glorious day!
One day they led Him
Up Calvary’s mountain,
One day they nailed Him
To die on the tree;
Suffering anguish,
Despised and rejected:
Bearing our sins,
My Redeemer is He!
One day they left Him
Alone in the garden,
One day He rested,
From suffering free;
Angels came down
O’er His tomb to keep vigil;
Hope of the hopeless,
My Saviour is He!
One day the grave could
Conceal Him no longer,
One day the stone rolled
Away from the door;
Then He arose, over death
He had conquered;
Now is ascended,
My Lord evermore!
One day the trumpet will
Sound for His coming,
One day the skies with
His glory will shine;
Wonderful day,
My beloved ones bringing;
Glorious Saviour,
This Jesus is mine!
I looked over Jordan and what did I see
Coming for to carry me home;
A band of angels coming after me,
Coming for to carry me home.
CHORUS
Swing low, sweet chariot,
Coming for to carry me home;
Swing low, sweet chariot,
Coming for to carry me home.
If you get there before I do,
Coming for to carry me home;
Tell all my friends I’m a-coming too,
Coming for to carry me home.
Sometimes I’m up, and sometimes I’m down
Coming for to carry me home;
But still my soul is heaven bound
Coming for to carry me home.
165 When They Ring The Golden Bells
There’s a land beyond the river,
That we call the sweet forever,
And we only reach that shore
By faith’s decree;
One by one we’ll gain the portals,
There to dwell with the immortals,
When they ring the golden bells
for you and me.
CHORUS
Don’t you hear the bells now ringing?
Don’t you hear the angels singing?
‘Tis the glory hallelujah Jubilee.
In that far-off sweet forever,
Just beyond the shining river,
When they ring the golden bells
for you and me.
We shall know no sin nor sorrow,
In that haven of tomorrow,
When our barque shall sail beyond
the silver sea;
We shall only know the blessing
Of our Father’s sweet caressing,
When they ring the golden bells
for you and me.
When our days shall know their number,
When in death we sweetly slumber,
When the King commands the spirit
to be free
Nevermore with anguish laden,
We shall reach that lovely Aiden,
When they ring the golden bells
for you and me.
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.
CHORUS
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
CHORUS
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.
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.
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.
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.
I can hear my Savior calling,
I can hear my Savior calling,
I can hear my Savior calling,
“Take thy cross and follow, follow Me.”
CHORUS
Where He leads me I will follow,
Where He leads me I will follow,
Where He leads me I will follow,
I’ll go with Him, with Him all the way.
I’ll go with Him through the garden,
I’ll go with Him through the garden,
I’ll go with Him through the garden,
I’ll go with Him, with Him all the way.
I’ll go with Him through the judgment,
I’ll go with Him through the judgment,
I’ll go with Him through the judgment,
I’ll go with Him, with Him all the way.
He will give me grace and glory,
He will give me grace and glory,
He will give me grace and glory,
And go with me, with me all the way.
Oh my heart sings today,
Sings for joy and gladness,
Jesus saves, satisfies,
Banishes my sadness;
Guilt is gone, peace is mine,
Peace like to a river,
Jesus is wonderful,
Mighty to deliver.
CHORUS
Wonderful, wonderful,
Jesus is to me,
Counselor, Prince of Peace,
Mighty God is He;
Saving me, keeping me
From all sin and shame,
Wonderful is my Redeemer,
Praise His name!
Once a slave, now I’m free,
Free from condemnation,
Jesus gives liberty
And a full salvation;
Now the sins of the past
Have been all forgiven,
And my name is inscribed
On the book of heaven.
Living here with my Lord
In a holy union,
Day by day, all the way
Holding sweet communion;
Oh what change grace hath wrought
In my lowly station!
Since my soul has received
Full and free salvation.
170 WHERE COULD I GO?
Living below in this old sinful world,
Hardly a comfort can afford;
Striving alone to face temptations sore,
Where could I go but to the Lord?
CHORUS
Where could I go, O where could I go?
Seeking a refuge for my soul?
Needing a friend to help me in the end,
Where could I go but to the Lord?
Neighbors are kind, I love them every one,
We get along in sweet accord;
But when my soul needs manna from above,
Where could I go but to the Lord?
Life here is grand with friends I love so dear,
Comfort I get from God’s own word;
Yet when I face the chilling hand of death,
Where could I go but to the Lord?
Far away in the depths
Of my spirit tonight
Rolls a melody
Sweeter than psalm;
In celestial like strains
It unceasingly falls
O’er my soul
Like an infinite calm.
CHORUS
Peace! peace! wonderful peace,
Coming down from the Father above;
Sweep over my spirit forever, I pray
In fathomless billows of love.
What a treasure I have
In this wonderful peace,
Buried deep in the heart of my soul;
So secure that no power
Can mine it away,
While the years of eternity roll.
I am resting tonight
In this wonderful peace,
Resting sweetly in Jesus’ control;
For I’m kept from all danger
By night and by day,
And His glory is flooding my soul.
And me thinks when I rise
To that city of peace,
Where the author of peace
I shall see,
That one strain of the song
Which the ransomed will sing,
In that heavenly kingdom shall be:
Ah! soul, are you here
Without comfort or rest,
Marching down the rough
Pathway of time?
Make Jesus your friend
Ere the shadows grow dark;
Oh, accept this sweet
Peace so sublime.
172 THE SUN WILL NEVER GO DOWN
The sun, it will never go down
in that city,
The sun, it will never go down;
The flowers are blooming forever,
And the sun, it will never go down.
I feel like traveling on, I do,
I feel like traveling on;
The flowers are blooming forever,
And the sun, it will never go down.
If feel like shouting, sometimes I do,
I feel like shouting, I do;
The flowers are blooming forever,
And the sun, it will never go down.
I dreamed I went to that city called glory,
So bright and so fair,
When I entered the gate I cried, “Holy,”
the angels all met me there;
They showed me from mansion to mansion,
And oh, the sights I saw,
But I said, “I want to see Jesus,
The One who died for all.”
CHORUS
Then I bowed on my knees and cried,
“Holy, Holy, Holy,”
I clapped my hands and sang, “Glory,
Glory to the Son of God.”
I thought when I entered that city,
My friends knew me well,
They showed me all through heaven,
The scenes are too num’rous to tell;
They showed me Abraham, Isaac, Jacob,
Mark, Luke, and Timothy,
But I said, “I want to give praise,
To the One who died for me.”
I thought when I saw my Saviour,
Oh! Glory to God!
I just fell right down before Him,
Singing, “Praise to the name of the Lord;”
I bowed down and worshipped Jehovah,
My friend of Calvary,
For I wanted to give praise to Jesus,
For saving a sinner like me.
I’m a pilgrim and a stranger
Wand’ring through this world of sin,
On my way to that fair city,
When the Saints go marching in.
CHORUS
When the saints go marching in,
When the saints go marching in,
Lord, I want to be in that number
When the saints go marching in.
Oh, I know I’ll see my Saviour
If my life is free from sin,
Heaven’s doors will open for me
When the Saints go marching in.
When we gather ’round the Throne
And the gates are closed within,
I’ll be shouting “Glory, Glory”
When the Saints go marching in.
I’m waiting for the chariot
To swing low and I’ll step in,
On the clouds I’ll ride to Heaven
When the Saints go marching in.
In this world I’ve tried most everything,
And I’m happy now to say,
There is nothing like religion
In the good old-fashioned way;
I am walking in the old-time way,
And I want the world to know
That I’d rather be an old-time Christian
Than anything I know.
CHORUS
I’d rather be an old-time Christian
Than anything I know.
There’s nothing like an old-time Christian
With a Christian love to show;
I’m walking in the grand old highway,
And I’m telling everywhere I go,
That I’d rather be an old-time Christian
Than anything I know.
There are many things I’d like to be
As my journey I pursue,
I have longed to be a leader
Like a mortal man would do;
I would like to be a millionaire,
With a million to bestow,
But I’d rather be an old-time Christian
Than anything I know.
All the world is bright since I got right.
Now I sing and pray and shout,
All my burdens have been lifted
Since the Saviour brought me out;
I will tell the world both far and near
As I travel here below.
That I’d rather be an old-time Christian
Than anything I know.
Blessed assurance,
Jesus is mine!
Oh, what a foretaste
Of glory divine!
Heir of salvation,
Purchase of God,
Born of His Spirit,
Washed in His Blood.
CHORUS
This is my story,
This is my song.
Praising my Savior,
All the day long;
This is my story,
This is my song.
Praising my Savior,
All the day long.
Perfect submission,
Perfect delight!
Visions of rapture
Now burst on my sight;
Angels, descending,
Bring from above,
Echoes of mercy,
Whispers of love.
Perfect submission,
All is at rest!
I, in my Savior,
Am happy and blest;
Watching and waiting,
Looking above,
Filled with His goodness,
Lost in His love.
As of old, when the hosts of Israel
Were compelled in the wilderness to dwell,
Trusting they in their God to lead the way
To the light of perfect day.
CHORUS
So the sign of the fire by night,
And the sign of the cloud by day,
Hovering o’er, just before,
As they journey on their way,
Shall a guide and a leader be,
Till the wilderness be past.
For the Lord, our God,
in His own good time
Shall lead to the light at last.
To and fro, as a ship without a sail,
Not a compass to guide them through the vale,
But the sign of their God was ever near,
Thus their fainting hearts to cheer.
All the days of their wand’rings they were fed.
To the land of the promise they were led;
By the hand of the Lord in guidance sure,
They were brought to Canaan’s shore.
When I come to the river at ending of day,
When the last winds of sorrow have blown;
There’ll be somebody waiting to show me the way,
I won’t have to cross Jordan alone.
CHORUS
I won’t have to cross Jordan alone,
Jesus died all my sins to atone;
When the darkness I see, He’ll be waiting for me,
I won’t have to cross Jordan alone.
Oftentimes I’m forsaken,
and weary and sad,
When it seems that my friends
have all gone;
There is one thought that cheers me
and makes my heart glad,
I won’t have to cross Jordan alone.
Though the billows of sorrow
and trouble may sweep,
Christ the Saviour will care for His own;
Till the end of the journey,
my soul He will keep,
I won’t have to cross Jordan alone.
Softly and tenderly
Jesus is calling,
Calling for you and for me;
See, on the portals
He’s waiting and watching,
Watching for you and for me.
CHORUS
Come home, come home,
Ye who are weary, come home;
Earnestly, tenderly,
Jesus is calling,
Calling, O sinner, come home!
Why should we tarry
When Jesus is pleading,
Pleading for you and for me?
Why should we linger
And heed not His mercies,
Mercies for you and for me?
Time is now fleeting,
The moments are passing,
Passing from you and from me;
Shadows are gathering,
Deathbeds are coming,
Coming for you and for me.
Oh! for the wonderful love
He has promised,
Promised for you and for me;
Though we have sinned,
He has mercy and pardon,
Pardon for you and for me.
Thou, my everlasting portion,
More than friend or life to me,
All along my pilgrim journey,
Savior let me walk with Thee.
Close to Thee, close to Thee,
Close to Thee close to Thee;
All along my pilgrim journey,
Savior let me walk with Thee.
Not for ease or worldly pleasure,
Nor for fame my prayer shall be;
Gladly will I toil and suffer,
Only let me walk with Thee.
Close to Thee, close to Thee,
Close to Thee, close to Thee;
Gladly will I toil and suffer,
Only let me walk with Thee.
Lead me through the vale of shadows,
Bear me o’er life’s fitful sea;
Then the gates of life eternal,
May I enter, Lord with Thee.
Close to Thee, close to Thee,
Close to Thee, close to Thee;
Then the gates of life eternal,
May I enter, Lord with Thee.
“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.
CHORUS
Got any rivers you think are uncrossable?
Got any mountains you can’t tunnel through?
God specializes in things thought impossible,
And He will do what no other power can do.
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.
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.
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.
CHORUS
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.
In that beautiful home where we’ll
nevermore roam,
We shall be in the sweet by and by;
Happy praise to the King,
through eternity sing,
‘Tis a land where we never shall die.
When our work here is done
and the 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.
How to reach the masses,
men of every birth?
For an answer Jesus gave a key,
“And I, if I be lifted up from the earth,
Will draw all men unto Me.”
CHORUS
Lift Him up, lift Him up,
Still He speaks from eternity,
“And I, if I be lifted up from the earth,
Will draw all men unto Me.”
O the world is hungry for the living bread,
Lift the Saviour up for them to see;
Trust Him, and do not doubt the words
that He said,
“I’ll draw all men unto Me.”
Don’t exalt the preacher, don’t exalt the pew,
Preach the Gospel simple, full and free;
Prove Him and you will find that
promise is true,
“I’ll draw all men unto Me.”
Lift Him up by living as a Christian ought,
Let the world in you the Saviour see,
Then men will gladly follow Him who
once taught,
“I’ll draw all men unto Me.”
I’ve reached the land of corn and wine,
And all its riches freely mine;
Here shines undimmed one blissful day,
For all my night has passed away.
Chorus
Oh 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 forevermore!
My Savior comes and walks with me,
And sweet communion here have we;
He gently leads me by the hand,
For this is heaven’s borderland.
A sweet perfume upon the breeze
Is borne from eververnal trees,
And flow’rs, that never fading grow,
Where streams of life forever flow.
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.
I’m so glad that the Lord
Brought me out;
I’m so glad that the Lord
Brought me out.
If it had not been for Jesus
Oh where would I be
I’m so glad that the Lord
Brought me out.
I’ve been happy since
The Lord brought me out.
I’ve been happy since
The Lord brought me out.
If it had not been for Jesus
Oh where would I be
I’ve been happy since
The Lord brought me out.
I’ve been singing since
The Lord brought me out.
I’ve been singing since
The Lord brought me out.
If it had not been for Jesus
Oh where would I be
I’ve been singing since
The Lord brought me out.
Aren’t you glad that
The Lord brought you out?
Aren’t you glad that
The Lord brought you out?
If it had not been for Jesus
Oh where would I be
Aren’t you glad that
The Lord brought you out?
I’ve been shouting since
The Lord brought me out.
I’ve been shouting since
The Lord brought me out.
If it had not been for Jesus
Oh where would I be
I’ve been shouting since
The Lord brought me out.
To the harvest field away we will gladly
go today,
Gathering sheaves, beautiful sheaves;
From the early dawn till night we will
labor with our might,
Gathering sheaves, beautiful sheaves.
CHORUS
Gathering sheaves, beautiful sheaves,
Gathering sheaves, beautiful sheaves;
Praise the Lord, we’re on our way to
that land of endless day,
Gathering sheaves, beautiful sheaves.
On the mountain, hill or plain we will
harvest in the grain,
Gathering sheaves, beautiful sheaves;
Yes, we’ll labor far and near, never
falter, never fear,
Gathering sheaves, beautiful sheaves.
We will sing and we will pray, and our
Master’s voice obey,
Gathering sheaves, beautiful sheaves;
As we go in foreign lands, doing what
our Lord commands,
Gathering sheaves, beautiful sheaves.
That God should love
A sinner such as I,
Should yearn to change
My sorrow into bliss,
Nor rest till He
Had planned to bring me nigh,
How wonderful is love like this!
CHORUS
Such love, such wondrous love,
Such love, such wondrous love,
That God should love
A sinner such as I,
How wonderful is love like this!
That Christ should join
So freely in the scheme,
Although it meant
His death on Calvary,
Did ever human tongue
Find nobler theme
Than love divine
That ransomed me?
That for a wilful
Outcast such as I,
The Father planned,
The Saviour bled and died;
Redemption for
A worthless slave to buy,
Who long had law
And grace defied.
And now He takes me
To His heart, a son,
He asks me not
To fill a servant’s place;
The “far-off country”
Wand’rings all are done,
Wide open are
His arms of grace.
Down from His glory,
Ever living story,
My God and Saviour came,
And Jesus was His Name.
Born in a manger,
To His own a stranger,
A Man of sorrows,
Tears and agony.
CHORUS
Oh how I love Him!
How I adore Him!
My breath, my sunshine,
My all in all!
The great Creator
Became my Saviour,
And all God’s fullness
Dwelleth in Him.
What condescension,
Bringing us redemption;
That in the dead of night,
Not one faint hope in sight;
God, gracious, tender,
Laid aside His splendor,
Stooping to woo, to win,
To save my soul.
Without reluctance,
Flesh and blood His substance,
He took the form of man,
Revealed the hidden plan.
Oh glorious mystery,
Sacrifice of Calvary,
And now I know
Thou art the great “I Am.”
I will meet you in the morning, by the
bright river side,
When all sorrow has drifted away;
I’ll be standing at the portals, when the
gates open wide,
At the close of life’s long, dreary day.
CHORUS
I’ll meet you in the morning with a
“How do you do,”
And we’ll sit down by the river and with
rapture “auld” acquaintance renew,
You’ll know me in the morning, by the
smiles that I wear,
When I meet you in the morning, in the
city that is built foursquare.
I will meet you in the morning, in the
sweet by and by,
And exchange the old cross for a crown;
There will be no disappointments and
nobody shall die,
In that land, e’er the sun goeth down.
I will meet you in the morning, at the end
of the way,
On the streets of that city of gold;
Where we all can be together and be
happy for aye,
While the years and the ages shall roll.
All along on the road to the soul’s true abode,
There’s an Eye watching you;
Every step that you take, this great Eye
is awake,
There’s an Eye watching you.
CHORUS
Watching you, watching you,
Every day mind the course you pursue;
Watching you, watching you,
There’s an all-seeing Eye watching you.
As you make life’s great flight, keep
the pathway of right,
There’s an Eye watching you;
God will warn not to go in the path of
the foe,
There’s an Eye watching you.
Fix your mind on the goal, that sweet
home of the soul,
There’s an Eye watching you;
Never turn from the way to the
kingdom of day,
There’s an Eye watching you.
There’s a curtain that’s drawn between
earth and Heaven,
And just beyond lies a beautiful clime
Where the evils of this life no longer
can touch me;
Lord, let me look past the curtain of time.
CHORUS
Lord, let me look past the curtain of
sorrows and fear.
Let me view that sunny bright clime;
It would strengthen my faith and
would banish all fear;
Lord, let me look past the curtain of time.
I’m helpless, alone, and I want to see
Jesus,
And hear the sweet harbor bells chime,
Where my friends and dear loved ones
are waiting for me;
Lord, let me look past the curtain of time.
I’m so homesick and blue, and I want to
see Jesus,
I would like to hear those sweet harbor
bells chime;
It would brighten my path and would
vanish all fear;
Lord, let me look past the curtain of time.
Oh, my brother do you know the Savior,
Who is wondrous, kind and true?
He’s the “Rock of your salvation!”
There’s Honey in the Rock for you.
CHORUS
Oh, there’s Honey in the Rock, my brother,
There’s Honey in the Rock for you;
Leave your sins for the blood to cover,
There’s Honey in the Rock for you.
Have you “tasted that the Lord is gracious?”
Do you walk in the way that’s new?
Have you drunk from The living fountain?
There’s Honey in the Rock for you.
Do you pray unto God the Father,
“What wilt Thou have me to do?”
Never fear, He will surely answer:
There’s Honey in the Rock for you.
Then go out through the streets and byways,
Preach the Word To the many or few;
Say to every fallen brother,
“There’s Honey in the Rock for you.”
Once Our blessed Christ of beauty,
Was veiled off from human view;
But through suff’ring, death and sorrow,
He has rent the veil in two.
CHORUS
Oh behold the man of sorrows,
Oh behold Him in plain view,
Lo! He is the mighty conqueror,
Since He rent the veil in two,
Lo! He is the mighty conqueror,
Since He rent the veil in two.
Yes, He is with God, the Father,
Interceding there for you;
For He is the mighty conqueror,
Since He rent the veil in two.
Holy angels bow before Him,
Men of earth give praises due,
For He is the well beloved,
Since He rent the veil in two.
Throughout time and endless ages,
Heights and depths of love so true,
He alone can be the giver,
Since He rent the veil in two.
Jesus breaks every fetter,
Jesus breaks every fetter,
Jesus breaks every fetter,
And He sets me free.
I am now on the altar,
I am now on the altar,
I am now on the altar
Which was made for me.
I will never doubt my Savior,
I will never doubt my Savior,
I will never doubt my Savior,
For He cleanses me.
I will rest on His promise,
I will rest on His promise,
I will rest on His promise,
Which is given to me.
I will shout Hallelujah!
I will shout Hallelujah!
I will shout Hallelujah!
For He sets me free.
Behold what manner of man is this,
Who stills the raging sea.
He heals the sick, the lame, the halt,
And makes the blind to see.
He opens all the prison doors
And sets the captives free.
Behold what manner of man is this,
What manner of man is He?
CHORUS
He’s the Lord of glory
He is the great “I Am”
The Alpha and Omega,
The beginning and the end.
His name is Wonderful
The Prince of Peace is He
He’s the everlasting Father
Throughout eternity.
Behold what manner of man is this,
Who speaks to the lame and halt.
He says “Thy sins be forgiven thee,
Take up thy bed and walk”
He stands as the mighty healer now
And cries “Come unto me”
Behold what manner of man is this
What manner of man is He?
Behold what manner of man is this,
Who spake to the woman at the well.
Everlasting life I will give to thee,
Far richer than man can tell
And whosoever shall drink of the well
Shall live eternally.
Behold what manner of man is this,
What manner of man is He?
Behold what manner of man is this
Who stands between God and man.
His eyes are as a flame of fire
His fan is in His hand.
John saw Him in the seven churches
As the sun in brilliancy
Behold what manner of man is this
What manner of man is He?
Behold what manner of man is this,
Who sits on His heavenly throne.
He rules and reigns from heaven above
His beloved and His own.
He’s the lion of the tribe of Judah,
The root of David is He.
Behold what manner of man is this
What manner of man is He?
When I saw the cleansing fountain
Open wide for all my sin,
I obeyed the Spirit’s wooing,
When He said, Wilt thou be clean?
CHORUS
I will praise Him! I will praise Him!
Praise the Lamb for sinners slain;
Give Him glory, all ye people,
For His blood has washed away each stain.
Though the way seems straight and narrow,
All I claimed was swept away;
My ambitions, plans, and wishes,
At my feet in ashes lay.
Then God’s fire upon the altar
Of my heart was set aflame;
I shall never cease to praise Him,
Glory, glory to His name!
Blessed be the name of Jesus!
I’m so glad He took me in;
He’s forgiven my transgressions,
He has cleansed my heart from sin.
197 THERE’S A GREAT DAY COMING
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?
CHORUS
Are you ready? Are you ready?
Are you ready for the judgment day?
Are you ready? Are you ready?
For the judgment day?
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?
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?
In these, the closing days of time,
What joy the glorious hope affords,
That soon – oh, wondrous truth sublime!
He shall reign. King of kings and Lord of lords.
CHORUS
He’s coming soon. He’s coming soon;
With joy we welcome His returning;
It may be morn, it may be night or noon,
We know He’s coming soon.
The signs around, in earth and air,
Or painted on the starlit sky,
God’s faithful witnesses declare
That the coming of the Saviour draweth nigh.
The dead in Christ who ‘neath us lie,
In countless numbers, all shall rise
When through the portals of the sky
He shall come to prepare our Paradise.
And we who, living, yet remain,
Caught up, shall meet our faithful Lord;
This hope we cherish not in vain,
But we comfort one another by this word.
What a Friend we have in Jesus,
All our sins and griefs to bear!
What a privilege to carry
Ev’rything to God in prayer!
O what peace we often forfeit,
O what needless pain we bear,
All because we do not carry
Ev’rything to God in prayer!
Have we trials and temptations?
Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged,
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
Can we find a friend so faithful
Who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our ev’ry weakness,
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
Are we weak and heavy laden,
Cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Savior, still our refuge,
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
Do thy friends despise, forsake thee?
Take it to the Lord in prayer;
In His arms He’ll take and shield thee,
Thou wilt find a solace there.
200 I Am Bound For The Promised Land
On Jordan’s stormy banks I stand,
And cast a wishful eye,
Toward Canaan’s fair and happy land,
Where my possessions lie.
CHORUS
I am bound for the promised land,
I am bound for the promised land;
Oh who will come and go with me?
I am bound for the promised land.
O’er all those wide extended plains
Shines one eternal day;
There God the Son forever reigns,
And scatters night away.
No chilling winds, nor pois’nous breath,
Can reach that healthful shore;
Sickness and sorrow, pain and death,
Are feared and felt no more.
When shall I reach that happy place,
And be forever blest!
When shall I see my Father’s face,
And in His bosom rest?
The great Physician now is near;
The sympathizing Jesus.
He speaks the drooping heart to cheer,
Oh, hear the voice of Jesus.
CHORUS
Sweetest note in seraph song,
Sweetest name on mortal tongue;
Sweetest carol ever sung,
Jesus, blessed Jesus.
Your many sins are all forgiv’n,
Oh, hear the voice of Jesus;
Go on your way in peace to heav’n,
And wear a crown with Jesus.
All glory to the dying Lamb!
I now believe in Jesus;
I love the blessed Savior’s name,
I love the name of Jesus.
And when to that bright world above
We rise to be with Jesus,
We’ll sing around the throne of love,
His name, the name of Jesus.
I must tell Jesus all of my trials;
I cannot bear these burdens alone;
In my distress He kindly will help me;
He ever loves and cares for His own.
CHORUS
I must tell Jesus!
I must tell Jesus!
I cannot bear my burdens alone;
I must tell Jesus!
I must tell Jesus!
Jesus can help me, Jesus alone.
I must tell Jesus all of my troubles;
He is a kind, compassionate Friend;
If I but ask Him, He will deliver,
Make of my troubles quickly an end.
Tempted and tried I need a great Savior,
One who can help my burdens to bear;
I must tell Jesus, I must tell Jesus;
He all my cares and sorrows will share.
Oh how the world to evil allures me!
Oh how my heart is tempted to sin!
I must tell Jesus, and He will help me
Over the world the vict’ry to win.
Nothing between my soul and the Saviour,
Naught of this world’s delusive dream:
I have renounced all sinful pleasure,
Jesus is mine, there’s nothing between.
CHORUS
Nothing between my soul and the Saviour,
So that His blessed face may be seen;
Nothing preventing the least of His favour,
Keep the way clear! Let nothing between.
Nothing between like worldly pleasure;
Habits of life, though harmless they seem,
Must not my heart from Him ever sever;
He is my all, there’s nothing between.
Nothing between, like pride or station;
Self or friends shall not intervene;
Though it may cost me much tribulation,
I am resolved, there’s nothing between.
Nothing between, e’en many hard trials,
Though the whole world against me convene;
Watching with prayer and much self-denial,
I’ll triumph at last, with nothing between.
There is coming a day
When no heartaches shall come,
No more clouds in the sky,
No more tears to dim the eye;
All is peace forevermore
On that happy golden shore,
What a day, glorious day
That will be.
CHORUS
What a day that will be
When my Jesus I shall see,
When I look upon His face,
The One who saved me by His grace;
When He takes me by the hand,
And leads me through
The Promised Land,
What a day, glorious day
That will be.
There’ll be no sorrow there,
No more burdens to bear,
No more sickness, no pain,
No more parting over there;
And forever I will be
With the One who died for me,
What a day, glorious day
That will be.
Jesus, keep me near the cross,
There a precious fountain
Free to all a healing stream,
Flows from Calv’ry’s mountain.
CHORUS
In the cross, in the cross,
Be my glory ever;
Till my raptured soul shall find
Rest beyond the river.
Near the cross, a trembling soul,
Love and mercy found me;
There the Bright and Morning Star
Sheds its beams around me.
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.
Near the cross I’ll watch and wait,
Hoping, trusting ever,
Till I reach the golden strand,
Just beyond the river.
Pass me not, O gentle Savior,
Hear my humble cry;
While on others Thou art calling,
Do not pass me by.
Chorus
Savior, Savior,
Hear my humble cry;
While on others Thou art calling,
Do not pass me by.
Let me at a throne of mercy
Find a sweet relief;
Kneeling there in deep contrition,
Help my unbelief.
Trusting only in Thy merit,
Would I seek Thy face;
Heal my wounded, broken spirit,
Save me by Thy grace.
Thou the Spring of all my comfort,
More than life to me;
Whom have I on earth beside Thee?
Whom in heav’n but Thee?
On Calvary’s hill of sorrow
Where sin’s demands were paid,
And rays of hope for tomorrow
Across our path were laid.
CHORUS
I see a crimson stream of blood.
It flows from Calvary,
Its waves which reach
the throne of God,
Are sweeping over me.
Today no condemnation
Abides to turn away
My soul from His salvation,
He’s in my heart to stay.
When gloom and sadness whisper
You’ve sinned, no use to pray,
I look away to Jesus,
And He tells me to say:
And when we reach the portal
Where life forever reigns,
The ransomed hosts grand final
Will be this glad refrain.
“All things are ready,”
Come to the feast!
Come, for the table now is spread;
Ye famishing, ye weary, come,
And thou shalt be richly fed.
Chorus
Hear the invitation.
Come, “whosoever will;”
Praise God for full salvation
For “whosoever will.”
“All things are ready,”
Come to the feast!
Come, for the door is open wide;
A place of honor is reserved
For you at the Master’s side.
“All things are ready,”
Come to the feast!
Come, while He waits
To welcome thee;
Delay not while this day is thine,
Tomorrow may never be.
“All things are ready,”
Come to the feast!
Leave ev’ry care and
worldly strife;
Come, feast upon the love of God,
And drink everlasting life.
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.
CHORUS
Coming home, coming home,
Nevermore to roam
Open wide Thine arms of love,
Lord, I’m coming home.
I’ve wasted many precious years,
Now I’m coming home;
I now repent with bitter tears,
Lord, I’m coming home.
I’ve tired of sin and straying, Lord,
Now I’m coming home;
I’ll trust Thy love, believe Thy word,
Lord, I’m coming home.
My soul is sick, my heart is sore,
Now I’m coming home;
My strength renew, my hope restore,
Lord, I’m coming home.
I will meet you in the morning,
Just inside the Eastern Gate,
Then be ready, faithful pilgrim,
Lest with you it be too late.
CHORUS
I will meet you, (in the morning,)
I will meet you, (in the morning,)
Just inside the Eastern Gate over there;
I will meet you, (in the morning,)
I will meet you, (in the morning,)
I will meet you in the morning over there.
If you hasten off to glory,
Linger near the Eastern Gate,
For I’m coming in the morning,
So you’ll not have long to wait.
Keep your lamps all trimmed and burning.
For the Bridegroom watch and wait,
He’ll be with us at the meeting,
Just inside the Eastern Gate.
O the joys of that glad meeting
With the saints who for us wait,
What a blessed, happy meeting,
Just inside the Eastern Gate.
I hear the Savior say,
“Thy strength indeed is small,
Child of weakness, watch and pray,
Find in Me thine all in all.”
CHORUS
Jesus paid it all,
All to Him I owe;
Sin had left a crimson stain,
He washed it white as snow.
Lord, now indeed I find
Thy pow’r, and Thine alone,
Can wash my garments white
In the blood of Calv’ry’s Lamb.
And when, before the throne,
I stand in Him complete,
“Jesus died my soul to save,”
My lips shall still repeat.
I believe God! I believe God!
Ask what you will and it shall be done;
Trust and obey, believe Him and say:
I believe, I believe God.
And if you want salvation now
And the Holy Ghost and power,
Just trust and obey,
Believe Him and say:
I believe, I believe God.
213 WE’LL WORK TILL JESUS COMES
O land of rest, for thee I sigh!
When will the moment come
When I shall lay my armor by,
And dwell in peace at home?
CHORUS
We’ll work till Jesus comes
We’ll work till Jesus comes,
We’ll work till Jesus comes
And we’ll be gathered home!
To Jesus Christ I fled for rest;
He bade me cease to roam;
And lean for succor on His breast
Till He conduct me home?
I sought at once my Saviour’s side,
No more my steps shall roam;
With Him I’ll brave death’s chilling tide
And reach my heavenly home.
The windows of Heaven are open,
The blessings are falling tonight,
There’s joy, joy, joy in my heart,
Since Jesus made everything right;
I gave Him my old tattered garment,
He gave me a robe of pure white,
I’m feasting on Manna from Heaven,
And that’s why I’m happy tonight.
The Lord God sent us a prophet
According to Malachi 4
To turn the hearts of the childen
Back to the fathers
The message was sent to restore
We are living now in the end time
The bride is preparing today
The bridegroom has sent us His message
That he’d soon take his bride away
What is the attraction on mount
The Piller of Fire has come
Spiritual food in due season
No need to starve anymore
Revelation 10:7 has sounded
The mysteries have been revealed
The revelation of the seven seals Has been opened
And the bridegroom is ready to leave
Precious memories, unseen angels,
Sent from somewhere to my soul;
How they linger, ever near me,
And the sacred past unfold.
CHORUS
Precious memories, how they linger,
How they ever flood my soul;
In the stillness of the midnight,
Precious, sacred scenes unfold.
Precious father, loving mother,
Fly across the lonely years;
And old home scenes of my childhood,
In fond memory appear.
In the stillness of the midnight,
Echoes from the past I hear;
Old-time singing, gladness bringing,
From that lovely land somewhere.
As I travel on life’s pathway,
Know not what the years may hold;
As I ponder, hope grows fonder,
Precious memories flood my soul.
Precious memories of the prophet,
Flood my soul from day to day,
I remember scenes so precious
That can never pass away.
I’ve heard the Message and Its signal
That day’s end is near at hand,
But I remember that He promised
He’d return for those who’d stand.
Precious memories, glorious meetings
Across this land from sea to sea
Where I heard the prophet’s Message
That brought Life and hope to me.
Precious memories in this storehouse
Where the Food was laid away,
We’ve returned to where he stored It,
Spiritual Food against this day.
I look and see earth’s sorrowing picture,
The hoarding mobs for selfish gain;
Their toil of hand for ease and comfort,
Can they not see, their doom is sealed,
it’s all in vain.
CHORUS
The end is here, it’s now at hand,
The Bride is gathering; the world is failing;
Israel’s awak’ning; nations are breaking;
Our prophet taught us, we believe the
end is here.
Sirs, this is the time our prophet spoke of;
The Angel came with a Shout,
The mountain shook as His Voice cried out,
“Time is no more.” loud and clear
The shout went forth.
Have you considered
the end-time Message?
Have you considered Malachi 4?
Revelation 10:7 and St. Luke 17
Proclaims this Message now,
and then forevermore.
It is no secret what God can do,
What He’s done for others,
He’ll do for you
With arms wide open,
He’ll pardon you,
It is no secret what God can do.
How great is our God.
How great is His WORD.
He’s the greatest One,
That ever was heard.
He rolled back the waters,
Of the mighty Red Sea.
And He said I’m going to lead you,
Put your trust in Me.
How great is our God.
How great is His Word.
He’s the greatest One,
That ever was heard.
He’s unveiling His treasures
For those who will see
And He said I’m going to give you
Anointed ministry.
In these days of trials so near the end,
When Christ from Glory doth now descend,
Men’s hearts are failing and filled with fear,
We know the end time is surely here.
CHORUS
So just be faithful, believe His Word;
Stay with the Message that you have heard;
List’ to His prophet, his Message heed;
Walk in the Light where His star doth lead.
In every church age a star did shine,
To help God’s people a Truth to find;
In this last church age a star shines bright,
So friend receive It, walk in the Light.
Do not be fearful or filled with dread,
Your prophet sleepeth, he is not dead;
The Bride is waiting now for that Voice,
And in this hope we can now rejoice.
His Word of promise he gave the Bride,
From his White Charger the prophet cried,
“Yet one more time shall I ride this trail.”
THUS SAITH THE LORD can never fail.
220 Blest Be The Tie That Binds
Blest be the tie that binds
Our hearts in Christian love;
The fellowship of kindred minds
Is like to that above.
Before our Father’s throne
We pour our ardent prayers;
Our fears, our hopes, our aims are one,
Our comforts and our cares.
We share our mutual woes,
Our mutual burdens bear;
And often for each other flows
The sympathizing tear.
When we asunder part
It gives us inward pain;
But we shall still be joined in heart,
And hope to meet again.
God be with you ’til we meet again!
By His counsels guide, uphold you,
With His sheep securely fold you;
God be with you ’til we meet again!
CHORUS
Till we meet! ‘Til we meet!
Till we meet at Jesus’ feet;
Till we meet! ‘Til we meet!
God be with you ’til we meet again!
God be with you ’til we meet again!
‘Neath His wings securely hide you,
Daily manna still provide you;
God be with you ’til we meet again!
God be with you ’til we meet again!
When life’s perils thick confound you,
Put His arms unfailing round you;
God be with you ’til we meet again!
God be with you ’til we meet again!
Keep love’s banner floating o’er you,
Smite death’s threat’ning wave before you;
God be with you ’til we meet again!
222 Take The Name Of Jesus With You
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.
CHORUS
Precious name, O how sweet!
Hope of earth and joy of heaven;
Precious name, O how sweet!
Hope of earth and joy of heaven.
Take the name of Jesus with you,
As a shield from every snare;
If temptations round you gather,
Breathe that holy name in prayer.
Oh the precious name of Jesus!
How it thrills our souls with joy,
When His loving arms receive us,
And His songs our tongues employ.
At the name of Jesus bowing,
Falling prostrate at His feet,
King of kings in heaven we’ll crown Him
When our journey is complete.
When God spoke to Moses, and told him what to say
To the children of Isreal in Goshen that day.
Slay the lamb, take the blood, strike the posts
and the door,
For I’ll pass through Egypt this night and smite
all the first born.
CHORUS
Let the death angel pass
God’s bride safe at last
Through the token He gave
That we could be saved
O Hallelujah! And glory to God
The blood’s been applied
His Spirit abides
Let the death angel pass.
The sweet Holy Spirit is the The Token today,
And all that is under it, God said would be saved.
Outside of this token the lost will be found.
If you want your loved ones saved, better get
them in now.
There’s not a friend like the lowly Jesus,
No, not one! no, not one!
None else could heal all our soul’s diseases,
No, not one! no, not one!
CHORUS
Jesus knows all about our struggles,
He will guide till the day is done.
There’s not a friend like the lowly Jesus,
No, not one! no, not one!
No friend like Him is so high and holy,
No, not one! no, not one!
And yet no friend is so meek and lowly,
No, not one! no, not one!
There’s not an hour that He is not near us,
No, not one! no, not one!
No night so dark but His love can cheer us,
No, not one! no, not one!
Did ever saints find this Friend forsake him?
No, not one! no, not one!
Or sinner find that He would not take him?
No, not one! no, no one!
Was e’er a gift like the Savior given?
No, not one! no, not one!
Will He refuse us a home in heaven?
No, not one! no, not one!
I’ve never traveled far
Around the world,
I’ve never seen the many thrills
And sights unfurled;
But I have taken the journey
Of journeys for me,
Up Calv’ry’s Mountain
There my Savior to see.
CHORUS
I’ve been to Calvary,
I can say I’ve seen the Lord,
I’ve been to Calvary,
Through the witness of His Word,
Each day at Calvary,
What a thrill of love Divine,
Just to know that this Savior is mine.
I walked the Calv’ry road,
Where Jesus trod,
I saw Him hanging there,
The Son of God;
With tear-stained eyes
I knelt and prayed,
Jesus hear my plea,
Oh, praise the Lord,
I’m glad I’ve been to Calvary.
To Canaan’s land I’m on my way,
Where the soul (of man) never dies;
My darkest night will turn to day,
Where the soul (of man) never dies.
CHORUS
No sad fare-wells,
No tear-dimmed eyes;
Where all is love,
And the soul (of man) never dies.
A rose is blooming there for me,
Where the soul (of man) never dies;
And I will spend eternity,
Where the soul (of man) never dies.
A love-light beams across the foam,
Where the soul (of man) never dies;
It shines to light the shores of home,
Where the soul (of man) never dies.
My life will end in deathless sleep,
Where the soul (of man) never dies;
And everlasting joys I’ll reap,
Where the soul (of man) never dies.
I’m on my way to that fair land,
Where the soul (of man) never dies;
Where there will be no parting hand,
And the soul (of man) never dies.
Heaven is a holy place,
Filled with glory and with grace,
Sin can never enter there;
All within the gates are pure,
From defilement kept secure,
Sin can never enter there.
CHORUS
Sin can never enter there,
Sin can never enter there;
So, if at the judgment bar,
Sinful spots your soul shall mar,
You can never enter there.
If you hope to dwell at last,
When your life on earth is past,
In that home so bright and fair,
You must here be cleansed from sin,
Have the life of Christ within,
Sin can never enter there.
You may live in sin below,
Heaven’s grace refuse to know,
But you cannot enter there;
It will stop you at the door,
Bar you out for evermore,
Sin can never enter there.
When you draw your latest breath,
You sill sink in dark despair,
To the regions of the lost,
Thus to prove at awful cost,
Sin can never enter there.
As I travel thru this pilgrim land
There is a Friend who walks with me,
Leads me safely thru the sinking sand,
It is the Christ of Calvary;
This would be my pray’r dear Lord, each
day: To help me do the best I can,
For I need Thy light to guide me day and night,
Blessed Jesus, hold my hand.
CHORUS
Jesus, hold my hand,
I need Thee ev’ry hour,
Thru this pilgrim land
Protect me by Thy power;
Hear my feeble plea,
Oh Lord, look down on me,
When I kneel in pray’r, I hope to meet You
there, Blessed Jesus, hold my hand.
Let me travel in the light divine
That I may see the blessed way;
Keep me that I may be wholly Thine
And sing redemption’s song some day;
I will be a soldier brave and true
And ever firmly take a stand,
As I onward go and daily meet the foe,
Blessed Jesus, hold my hand.
When I wander thru the valley dim
Toward the setting of the sun,
Lead me safely to a land of rest
If I a crown of life have won;
I have put my faith in Thee, dear Lord,
That I may reach the golden strand,
There’s no other friend on whom I can
depend, Blessed Jesus, hold my hand.
There are some things, I may not know,
There are some places I can’t go,
But I am sure of this one thing
That God is real for I can feel Him deep within.
CHORUS
My God is real, real in my soul,
My God is real for He has washed and
made me whole;
His love for me is like pure gold,
My God is real for I can feel Him in my soul.
Some folk my doubt, some folk may scorn,
All can go on and leave me alone,
But as for me I’ll take God’s part,
And God is real for I can feel Him in my soul.
I cannot tell just how you felt
When Jesus took your sins away,
But since that day, yes, since that hour
God has been real for I can feel His holy pow’r.
They tell me of love’s sweet old story.
They tell me of a wonderful name.
It thrills my soul with its glory.
It burns in my heart like a flame.
They say He’s the one that so loved me,
That in Heaven He could not remain;
He came down to seek and to save me.
Oh, tell me His name again.
CHORUS
Oh, tell me His name again
And sing me the sweet refrain
Of Him who in love, came down from above
To die on the cross in shame.
This story my heart has been stirred,
The sweetest I’ve ever heard,
It banishes fear; it brings hope and cheer,
Oh tell me His name again
They say He was born in a manger,
That there was no room in the inn;
And in His own world was a stranger,
But loved us in spite of our sins;
They said that His path led to Calvary,
And one day He died there in shame.
He gave His great life a ransom.
Oh, tell me His name again.
They call Him the sweet Rose of Sharon.
They call Him the lily so fair.
They call Him the great rock of ages.
They call Him the bright morning star.
He’s a prophet, a priest, and redeemer,
The king of all kings He now reigns.
He’s coming in power and glory.
Oh, tell me His name again.
231 Is My Lord Satisfied With Me
One glorious day Jesus came and made me whole.
He so completely then satisfied my soul.
Now as I face life’s dark troubled stormy sea.
I wonder if He is satisfied with me.
Chorus
I want my Lord to be satisfied with me.
I want my life to be what He’d have it be.
And when I come to that great eternity.
His smile will say He is satisfied with me.
I’m satisfied with God’s great redemption plan
I’m satisfied it’s sufficient for all man.
I’m satisfied with His work on Calvary.
But is my Lord fully satisfied with me.
Lord give me strength, give me courage, make me bold.
That I may lead some lost sheep into the fold.
That I might stand unafraid to move for thee.
That you might be fully satisfied with me.
232 Heaven Came; Glory Filled Soul
O what a wonderful, wonderful day,
Day I will never forget,
After I’d wandered in darkness away,
Jesus my Savior I met.
O what a tender compassionate friend
He met the need of my heart;
Shadows dispelling, With joy I am telling,
He made all the darkness depart!
CHORUS
Heaven came down
and glory filled my soul,
When at the cross the Savior made me whole,
My sins were washed away,
And my night was turned to day.
Heaven came down
and glory filled my soul.
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 proffer
He saved me, O praise His dear name!
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.
Unworthy am I of the grace that He gave,
Unworthy to hold to His hand.
Amazed that a King would
Reach down to a slave,
This love I cannot understand.
CHORUS
Unworthy, unworthy, a beggar,
In bondage and alone,
But He made me worthy
And now by His grace,
His mercy has made me His own.
My sorrow and sickness
Laid stripes on His back,
My sins caused the blood that was shed.
My faults and my failures
Have woven a crown
Of thorns, that He wore on His head.
Unworthy am I of the glory to come,
Unworthy with angels to sing.
I thrill just to know that
He loved me so much.
A pauper, I walk with the King.
234 He Washed My Eyes With Tears
He washed my eyes with tears that I might see,
The broken heart I had was good for me;
He tore it all apart and looked inside,
He found it full of fear and foolish pride.
He swept away the things that made me blind
And then I saw the clouds were silver lined;
And now I understand ’twas best for me
He washed my eyes with tears that I might see.
He washed my eyes with tears that I might see
The glory of Himself revealed to me;
I did not know that He had wounded hands
I saw the blood He spilt upon the sands.
I saw the marks of shame and wept and cried;
He was my substitute for me He died;
And now I’m glad He came so tenderly;
And washed my eyes with tears that I might see.
In sin I wandered sore and sad
with bleeding heart and aching head,
‘Till Jesus came and sweetly said,
“I’ll take thy sins away.”
Chorus
Thank God for the blood!
Thank God for the blood!
Thank God for the blood!
That washes white as snow.
I gave my heart, my life, my all
To Him who drank the cup of gall
To raise the guilty from the fall
And take their sins away.
The water, Spirit and the blood
Agree, if we but understood,
In making sinners pure and good,
And take their sins away.
How wonderful God’s mighty plan!
How Grace the awful gulf did span
When He took on the form of man
To take our sins away.
We cannot know, we may not tell
How we are saved from death and hell;
Thru faith we know that all is well –
He took our sins away.
I’ve a message from the Lord, hallelujah!
This message unto you I’ll give,
’Tis recorded in His word, hallelujah!
It is only that you “look and live.”
Chorus
“Look and live,” my brother, live,
Look to Jesus now, and live;
’Tis recorded in His word, hallelujah!
It is only that you “look and live.”
I’ve a message full of love, hallelujah!
A message, O my friend, for you,
’Tis a message from above, hallelujah!
Jesus said it, and I know ’tis true.
Life is offered unto you, hallelujah!
Eternal life thy soul shall have,
If you’ll only look to Him, hallelujah!
Look to Jesus who alone can save.
I will tell you how I came, hallelujah!
To Jesus when He made me whole—
’Twas believing on His name, hallelujah!
I trusted and He saved my soul.
237 Just a little talk with Jesus
I once was lost in sin, but Jesus took me in,
And let a little light from Heaven fills my soul;
He bathed my heart in love, and He wrote my name above,
And just a little talk with Jesus makes me whole.
(Now let us) Us have a little talk with Jesus,
(Let us) Tell Him all about our troubles,
(He will) Hear our faintest cry
(And he will) Answer by and by
(Now when you) Feel a little prayer wheel turning
(And you) Know a little fire is burning,
(You will) Find a little talk with Jesus makes it right.
Sometimes my path seems drear, without a ray of cheer,
And then a cloud of doubt may hide the light of day;
The mists of sin may rise and hide the starry skies,
But just a little talk with Jesus clears the way.
I may have doubts and fears, my eye be filled with tears,
But Jesus is a friend Who watches day and night;
I go to him in prayer, He knows my every care,
And just a little talk with my Jesus make it right.
One Day I heard a voice saying, make me your choice.
I’ll take away your every sin, and set you free.
So I came to Him that day, and He took my sins away.
Now I don’t want nothing here to hinder me.
Chorus
I don’t want nothing here to hinder me.
For someday His blessed face I long to see.
It makes no difference what the cost, or how heavy my own cross.
I don’t want nothing here to hinder me.
Many times I’m tossed about, many times I do without,
Many times my heart is burdened down with care;
But I know if I’ll stand true, that some day He’ll see me thru,
If I won’t let nothing here hinder me.
Someday when I get home, where I never more shall roam,
With my Savior and my loved ones I will be.
When I lay this old cross down and receive a shining crown,
I’ll be so glad that nothing here, did hindered me.
Bridge
You’ll be glad that nothing here did hinder you,
When you hear him say, my child, you made it through;
When you lay this old cross down and receive a shining crown,
You’ll be glad that nothing here did hinder you.
He became me that,
I might become Him by grace.
He became me that,
I might become Him by grace.
He took my place that,
I through His love could take His.
Oh, He became me that,
I might become Him by grace.
240 It’s Jesus Christ Revealed in Us
It’s Jesus Christ revealed in us,
Jesus Christ revealed in us,
If you want to know the truth of love,
It’s Jesus Christ revealed in us.
When sorrow and storms are besetting my track,
And Satan is whispering, “You’d better turn back,”
How oft I have proved it, tho’ dark be the way,
A little believing drives clouds all away.
Chorus
Lord, I believe, Lord, I believe!
Savior, raise my faith in Thee,
Till it can move a mountain;
Lord, I believe, Lord, I believe!
All my doubts are buried in the fountain.
How easy when sailing the sea in a calm,
To trust in the strength of Jehovah’s great arm;
But somehow I find when the waves swamp the boat,
It takes some believing to keep things afloat.
“I’ll stand to the end,” I have heard people say,
“I’ll fight till I die, and will ne’er run away;”
But when by temptation so fiercely assailed,
They left off believing, and terribly failed.
And others there are full of courage and zeal,
Who go to the battle like warriors of steel;
But right in the heat of the conflict with sin,
Instead of believing they faint and give in.
Then let us remember in running this race,
That faith is not feeling, and trust is not trace;
And when around us seems dark as the night,
We’ll keep on believing, and win in the fight.
In moments like these I sing out a song,
I sing out a love song to Jesus.
In moments like these I lift up my hands,
I lift up my hands to the Lord.
Singing I love You, Lord.
Singing I love You, Lord.
Singing I love You, Lord,
I love You.
243 How Beautiful Heaven Must Be
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 hath given,
How beautiful heaven must be.
Chorus
How beautiful heaven must be,
Sweet home of the happy and free;
Fair haven of rest for the weary,
How beautiful heaven must be.
In heaven no drooping nor pining,
No wishing for elsewhere to be;
God’s light is forever there shining,
How beautiful heaven must be.
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.
The angels so sweetly are singing,
Up there by the beautiful sea;
Sweet chords from their gold harps are ringing,
How beautiful heaven must be.
Some glad morning we shall see, Jesus in the air
Coming after you and me, joy is ours to share
What rejoicing there will be, when the saints shall rise
Headed for that jubilee, yonder in the skies
Chorus
Oh what singing, oh what shouting
On that happy morning when we all shall rise
Oh what glory, Hallelujah
When we meet our blessed Savior in the skies
Seems that now I almost see, all the sainted dead
Rising for that jubilee, that is just ahead
In the twinkling of an eye, changed with them to be
All the living saints to fly, to that jubilee.
When with all that heavenly host, we begin to sing
Singing in the Holy Ghost, how the heavens will ring
Millions there will join the song, with them we shall be
Praising Christ through ages long, heaven’s jubilee.
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?
Chorus
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 Savior’s love.
It is safely moored, ’twill the storm withstand,
For ’tis well secured by the Savior’s hand;
And the cables passed from His heart to mine,
Can defy the blast, through strength divine.
It will firmly hold in the straits of fear,
When the breakers have told the reef is near;
Though the tempest rave and the wild winds blow,
Not an angry wave shall our bark o’erflow.
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.
Have you a heart that’s weary
Tending a load of care?
Are you a soul that’s seeking
Rest from the burden you bear?
Chorus
Do you know (do you know) my Jesus?
Do you know (do you know) my friend?
Have you heard (have you heard) He loves you?
And that He will abide till the end (till the end)?
Where is your heart, oh pilgrim,
What does your light reveal;
Who hears your call for comfort
When naught but sorrow you feel?
Who knows your disappointments?
Who hears each time you cry?
Who understands your heartaches?
Who dries the tears from your eyes?
Dear Lord I’ll be a witness, if You will help my weakness,
I know that I’m not worthy, Lord, of Thee.
By eyes of faith I see Thee, upon the cross of Calv’ry,
Dear Lord, I cry, let me Thy servant be.
Chorus
Jesus, use me, Oh Lord don’t refuse me;
For surely there’s a work that I can do.
And even though it’s humble, Lord help my will to crumble.
Though the cost be great, I’ll work for you.
I stand for Thee, dear Jesus, Though death may come my way.
I’ll spread the gospel to the fallen here.
But if it be thy will, Lord, to go across the sea,
Lord, help me to be willing to say, yes.
He’s the Lily of the Valley, the Bright and Morning Star,
He’s the fairest of then thousand to my soul.
He’s the beautiful Rose of Sharon, He’s all the world to me,
But best of all, He is my coming King.
249 I am Determined to Hold Out
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:
Chorus
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.
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.
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.
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.
There’s a place for all the weak and weary.
A place where all may find real peace.
In the upper room with Jesus,
All our cares and heartaches cease.
CHORUS
In the upper room with Jesus.
Sitting at His nail-scarred feet.
Oh, what rich and full communion!
Fellowship, divine and sweet!
There is cooling water for the weary.
There’s a balm for every broken heart.
And there’s rest for all the heavy-laden.
His peace to you He will impart.
There was a thirsty woman,
Who was drawing from a well,
Her life was ruined and wasted,
Her soul was bound for hell.
Then she met the Master,
Who told of her great sin,
He said, “If you drink this water,
You’ll never thirst again.”
CHORUS
There is a river
That flows from deep within.
There is a fountain
That frees the soul from sin.
Come to these waters;
There is a vast supply.
There is a river,
That never shall run dry.
There came a sound from Heaven
As a rushing, mighty wind,
It filled their hearts with singing,
And gave them peace within.
The prophet gave the promise,
The Spirit will descend,
And from your inner being,
A river with no end.
God’s not dead, He is alive,
God’s not dead, He is alive,
God’s not dead, He is alive,
I feel Him in my hands, (clap)
I feel Him in my feet, (stomp)
I feel Him in my heart, (hand over heart)
I feel Him all over me. (wave)
You may notice we say Brother and
Sister ’round here,
It’s because we’re a fam’ly
And these folks are so near.
When one has a heartache
We all share the tears,
And rejoice in each vict’ry
In this fam’ly so dear.
CHORUS
I’m so glad I’m a part of the fam’ly of God!
I’ve been washed in the fountain,
Cleansed by His blood.
Joint heirs with Jesus
As we travel this sod;
For I’m part of the fam’ly,the fam’ly of God.
From the door of an orph’nage,
To the house of the King,
No longer an outcast,
A new song I sing.
From rags unto Riches,
From the weak to the strong,
I’m not worthy to be here,
But, Praise God, I belong!
Like the woman at the well I was seeking
For things that could not satisfy;
And then I heard my Savior speaking:
“Draw from my well that never shall run dry”.
Chorus
Fill my cup Lord, I lift it up, Lord!
Come and quench this thirsting of my soul;
Bread of heaven, Feed me till I want no more
Fill my cup, fill it up and make me whole!
There are millions in this world who are craving
The pleasures earthly things afford;
But none can match the wondrous treasure
That I find in Jesus Christ my Lord.
So, my neighbor, if the things this world gave you
Leave hungers that won’t pass away,
My blessed Lord will come and save you,
If you kneel to Him and humbly pray:
Up Cav’ry’s Mountain, one dreadful morn,
Walked Christ my Savior weary and worn,
Facing for sinners death on the cross,
That He might save them
From endless loss.
CHORUS
Blessed Redeemer! Precious Redeemer!
Seems now I see Him on Calvary’s tree,
Wounded and bleeding
For sinners pleading,
Blind and unheeding, dying for me!
“Father, forgive them!” thus did He pray,
E’en while His life-blood flowed fast away,
Praying for sinners while in such woe—-
No one but Jesus ever loved so.
Oh, how I love Him, Saviour and Friend!
How can my praises ever find end!
Through years unnumbered
On heaven’s shore,
My tongue shall praise Him forever more.
I’m reaching out to You dear Lord,
I’m reaching out to You,
I know Your arm is not too short
And it can reach me too.
So as I pray and press my way
Into Your Kingdom true.
I’ll grow to be more like You,
Just by reaching out to You.
289 Drinking From the Springs of Living Water
I Thirsted in the barren land of sin and shame
And nothing satisfying there I found
But to the blessed cross of Christ one day I came,
Where springs of living water did abound
CHORUS
Drinking at the springs of living water
Happy now am I, My soul they satisfy;
Drinking at the springs of living water,
O wonderful and bountiful supply!
How sweet the living water from
The hills of God.
I makes me glad and happy all the way;
Now glory, grace and blessing
Mark the path I’ve trod,
I’m shouting “Hallelujah” ev’ry day.
O sinner, won’t you come today To Calvary?
A fountain there is flowing deep and wide;
The Savior now invites you to The water free,
Where thirsting spirits can be satisfied.
He is here, Hallelujah
He is here, Amen
He is here, holy, holy
I will bless His name again.
He is here, listen closely
Hear Him calling out your name
He is here, you can touch Him
You will never be the same.
Lord prepare me to be a sanctuary,
Pure and holy, tried and true;
With thanksgiving, I’ll be a living
Sanctuary for You.
He brought me to His banqueting table
His banner over me is love;
(repeat 3 times)
His banner over me is love.
He set straight paths before my feet
His banner over me is love,
(repeat 3 times)
His banner over me is love.
He broke the chains and He set me free
His banner over me is love
(repeat 3 times)
His banner over me is love.
I am my Beloved’s and He is mine
His banner over me is love,
(repeat 3 times)
His banner over me is love.
It was told that He would come
And the race He would run
It would end on an old rugged cross
But when they laid Him in the tomb
The power of the Lord went in the room
Now He reigns forever and ever more
Chorus
Hallelujah to the Lamb
Hallelujah to the Lamb
That was slain upon a tree
By his stripes we are healed
By his blood we are sealed
Hallelujah to the Lamb of God
Church He’s coming back someday
He’ll take us home with Him to stay
Where His Glory forever we will share
And when that first trumpet sounds
We will all be glory bound
Up there we’ll live forever and ever more
331 We Are Standing On Holy Ground
We are standing on Holy Ground,
And I know that there are angels all around.
Let us praise Jesus now.
We are standing in His Presence
On Holy Ground.
When I rose this morning,
I didn’t have no doubt,
I knew that the Lord would bring me out.
I fell on my knees,
said, “Lord help me please”
got up singing and shouting the victory.
Choruses:
Victory is mine,
Victory is mine,
Victory today is mine.
I told Satan to get thee behind,
Victory today is mine.
The Holy Ghost is mine,
The Holy Ghost is mine,
The Holy Ghost today is mine
I told Satan to get thee behind,
The Holy Ghost today is mine.
The Message is mine,
The Message is mine,
The Message today is mine
I told Satan to get thee behind,
The Message today is mine.
Joy is mine,
Joy is mine,
Joy today is mine
I told Satan to get thee behind,
Joy today is mine.
Happiness is mine,
Happiness is mine,
Happiness today is mine.
I told Satan to get thee behind,
Happiness today is mine.
There’s a Lighthouse on the hill
That overlooks life’s sea,
When I’m tossed it
Sends out a light,
That I might see;
And the light that shines in darkness,
Now will safely lead us o’er,
If it wasn’t for the Lighthouse,
My ship would sail no more.
CHORUS
And I thank God for the Lighthouse,
I owe my life to Him,
King Jesus is the Lighthouse,
And from the rocks of sin;
He has shone a light around me
That I could clearly see,
If it wasn’t for the Lighthouse, tell me,
Where would this ship be?
Ev’rybody that lives about us says,
Tear that Lighthouse down,
The big ships don’t sail this way any more,
There’s no use of it standing ’round;
Then my mind goes back
To that stormy night,
When just in time I saw the light,
Yes, the light from that old Lighthouse
That stands up there on the hill.
349 I’ve Got Peace Like a River
I’ve got peace like a river,
I’ve got peace like a river,
I’ve got peace like a river in my soul,
I’ve got peace like a river,
I’ve got peace like a river,
I’ve got peace like a river in my soul.
I’ve got love like an ocean,
I’ve got love like an ocean,
I’ve got love like an ocean in my soul,
I’ve got love like an ocean,
I’ve got love like an ocean,
I’ve got love like an ocean in my soul.
I’ve got joy like a fountain,
I’ve got joy like a fountain,
I’ve got joy like a fountain in my soul,
I’ve got joy like a fountain,
I’ve got joy like a fountain,
I’ve got joy like a fountain in my soul.
Sweet Jesus, sweet Jesus,
What a wonder you are,
You’re brighter than the morning star;
You’re fairer, much fairer,
Than the lily that grows by the wayside,
Precious, more precious than gold;
Just like the Rose of Sharon,
You’re fairer than the fair,
You are all my heart and soul’s desire,
Sweet Jesus, sweet Jesus,
What a wonder you are,
You’re precious, more precious than gold.
Deeper In Thy love, Oh Jesus
Doth my spirit cry to go.
Until all my life is hidden
Deep within the cleansing flow.
CHORUS
Deeper in that holy life
‘Til I’m lost with Christ in God.
Hidden with my blessed Lord
While I walk this earthly sod.
Humbly must I walk with Jesus
In the paths that He doth lead.
Never falter, never murmur
Always to His voice give heed.
Daily must I seek to please Him
Whether it bring joy or pain.
I shall know then just how blessed
Is the worth of Heav’nly gain.
Deeper, ’til at last in Glory
In His likeness I shall come.
Where the saints of all the ages
Shall receive their welcome home.
In times like these you need a Saviour,
In times like these you need an anchor
Be very sure, be very sure,
Your anchor holds and grips
the solid rock.
CHORUS
This rock is Jesus, Yes, He’s the One,
This rock is Jesus, the only One;
Be very sure, be very sure,
Your anchor holds and grips
the solid rock.
In times like these you need the Bible,
In times like these oh be not idle,
Be very sure, be very sure,
Your anchor holds and grips
the solid rock.
In times like these, I have a Saviour,
In times like these, I have an anchor,
I’m very sure, I’m very sure,
My anchor holds and grips
the solid rock.
Of Jesus love I’m singing
I praise Him every day;
He is my All in All, All in All.
He frees my soul from bondage,
He takes my guilt away;
Jesus is my All in All.
CHORUS
All in All, All in All,
A strength in time of weariness
A light when shadows fall.
All in All, All in All,
Jesus is my All in All.
He’s patient and so tender,
So loving and so kind;
He is my All in All, All in All.
Another Friend so faithful
My soul will never find;
Jesus is my All in All.
In time of need no other
To me can prove so dear;
He is my All in All, All in All.
He hears me tho’ I whisper,
To help me he is near;
Jesus is my All in All.
John tells of a city,
That he saw coming down,
Where no sorrow or death will be known,
That someday we could go there
Through His marvelous grace,
Forever live in that heavenly home.
CHORUS
I can almost see the lights of that city,
I see them gathering, all around
The great white throne;
With faith in my Saviour,
And His wonderful love,
Oh, I can almost see the lights of home.
And sometimes when I’m burdened,
And my cross seems hard to bear.
And old Satan, he tries to dim my view,
Well I just look unto Jesus,
He is standing close by,
Then once again,
His great light shines through.
I’m looking for a city,
The one not made by hands,
I’m looking over Jordan,
I see the promised land,
The waters will be parted
And I’ll be on my way,
As we’re crossing over Jordan
I can say:
CHORUS
Now I have that everlasting joy within,
Since He came and took away my sin,
The moment that He blessed me,
He made me fully whole,
With that everlasting joy Within my soul.
I’m drinking from the fountain
That floweth from on high,
A well of blessed waters
That never shall run dry,
I’m feasting on God’s manna,
I’m praying day by day,
And that everlasting joy
Is here to stay.
I’ve heard the prophet’s message,
I’ve placed it in my heart,
I’ve got the revelation
That never shall depart,
The Rapture is upon us,
The stage is set to go.
We have this precious promise
We all know.
Who can cheer the heart like Jesus,
By His presence all divine?
True and Tender, pure and precious,
Oh how blest to call Him mine!
CHORUS
All that thrills my soul is Jesus;
He is more than life to me;
And the fairest of ten thousand,
In my blessed Lord I see.
Love of Christ so freely given,
Grace of God beyond degree,
Mercy higher than the heaven,
Deeper than the deepest sea.
What a wonderful redemption!
Never can a mortal know
How my sin, tho’ red like crimson,
Can be whiter than the snow.
Every need His hand supplying,
Every good in Him I see;
On His strength divine relying,
He is all in all to me.
By the crystal flowing river
With the ransomed I will sing,
And forever and forever
Praise and glorify the King.
Some glad morning when this life is o’er,
I’ll fly away.
To that home on God’s celestial shore,
I’ll fly away.
Chorus
I’ll fly away, oh glory, I’ll fly away.
When I die, Hallelujah, by and by,
I’ll fly away.
When the shadows of this life have grown,
I’ll fly away.
Like a bird from proson bars have flown,
I’ll fly away.
Just a few more weary days and then,
I’ll fly away.
To that land where joy will never end,
I’ll fly away.
There is something in my soul
Which keeps the shadows all away;
It is love, my Saviour’s love!
Something lightens ev’ry burden,
Gives me gladness day by day,
It is love, my Saviour’s love.
CHORUS
Oh the precious love of Jesus,
How it thrills my ransomed soul!
More and more I’ll sing its praises
While the happy ages roll.
When the tempter tries to win me
Something keeps me true and strong;
It is love, my Saviour’s love!
Something makes my life a blessing
To the needy in the throng,
It is love, my Saviour’s love.
When misfortune overtakes me
Something calms my troubled breast;
It is love, my Saviour’s love!
Something draws my soul to heaven,
That sweet land of peace and rest.
It is love, my Saviour’s love.
Soul astray and bowed in sorrow,
Something waits for you today;
It is love, my Saviour’s love!
It would give you peace and comfort,
Make your burdens roll away,
It is love, my Saviour’s love.
Whisper a prayer in the morning,
Whisper a prayer at noon,
Whisper a prayer in the evening,
To keep your heart in tune.
God answers prayer in the morning,
God answers prayer at noon,
God answers prayer in the evening,
So keep your heart in tune.
Jesus may come in the morning,
Jesus may come at noon,
Jesus may come in the evening,
So keep your heart in tune.
You ask me why I’m happy
So I’ll just tell you why,
Because my sins are gone;
And when I meet the scoffers
Who ask me where they are,
I say, my sins are gone.
CHORUS
They’re underneath the Blood,
Of the Cross of Calvary,
As far removed as darkness
is from dawn;
In the sea of God’s forgetfulness,
That’s good enough for me,
Praise God, my sins are gone.
‘Twas at the old-time altar
Where God came in my heart,
And now my sins are gone;
The Lord took full possession,
The devil did depart,
I’m glad my sins are gone.
When Satan comes to tempt me
And tries to make me doubt,
I say, my sins are gone;
You got me into trouble,
But Jesus got me out,
I’m glad my sins are gone.
I’m living now for Jesus,
I’m happy night and day,
Because my sins are gone;
My soul is filled with music,
With all my heart I say,
I know my sins are gone.
Once my heart and soul were fettered
By the binding chains of sin.
But the Great Emancipator
Set me free to worship Him.
CHORUS
Glory, glory, hallelujah,
Blessed be His holy name!
He’s the Great Emancipator,
That’s the song of the Redeemed!
Like a lost lamb I was drifting
Oh so helpless and alone,
But the seeking Shepherd found me,
Led me to my Father’s home.
King of my life I crown Thee now,
Thine shall the glory be;
Lest I forget Thy thorn-crowned brow,
Lead me to Calvary.
CHORUS
Lest I forget Gethsemane,
Lest I forget Thine agony,
Lest I forget Thy love for me,
Lead me to Calvary.
Show me the tomb where Thou wast laid,
Tenderly mourned and wept:
Angels in robes of light arrayed,
Guarded Thee whilst Thou slept.
Let me, like Mary, through the gloom,
Come with a gift to Thee:
Show to me now the empty tomb,
Lead me to Calvary.
May I be willing, Lord, to bear,
Daily my cross for Thee:
Even Thy cup of grief to share,
Thou hast borne all for me.
Fill me, Oh Lord, with Thy desire,
For all who know not Thee:
Then touch my lips with holy fire,
To speak of Calvary.
I don’t know what I’d do,
I don’t know what I’d do,
I don’t know what I’d do
Without the Lord;
When I look around and see,
All that He has done for me,
I don’t know what I’d do
Without the Lord.
God’s attributes were manifested
To His Bride in this last age.
We have caught the revelation
By the last prophet’s message.
And we know who we are
And what we are raised up for,
Praise the Lord, for the Original Life.
CHORUS
The Original Life, the Original Seed
The Original Word is what I believe.
The Son of Man is revealed
The seventh seal is unveiled
The Original Life, the Original Seed.
We are the Word made flesh today
This is what the Scriptures say.
And our names are seen within,
Redeemed and perfect without sin.
Yes, we are anointed and inspired
By our God, Who’s the Original Life.
Our eyes of understanding
He has opened up at last.
And sweet victory is ours
Who were chained down in the past.
True Jubilee has sounded
And we have responded
To our God, Who’s the Original Life.
We are called unto adoption
Full authority and power.
Sleeping saints will wake and join us
For translation in this hour.
Gentiles’ days will soon be over
Glory, hallelujah!
To our God, Who’s the Original Life.
My Lord knows the way
Through the wilderness;
All I have to do is follow.
My Lord knows the way
Through the wilderness;
All I have to do is follow.
Strength for today is mine all the way,
And all that I need for tomorrow;
My Lord knows the way
Through the wilderness;
All I have to do is follow.
More about Jesus I would know,
More of His grace to others show;
More of His saving fullness see,
More of His love, who died for me.
CHORUS
More, more about Jesus,
More, more about Jesus;
More of His saving fullness see,
More of His love, who died for me.
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.
More about Jesus in His Word,
Holding communion with my Lord,
Hearing His voice in ev’ry line,
Making each faithful saying mine.
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.
The law of the Lord is perfect,
Converting the soul:
The testimony of the Lord is sure,
Making wise the simple.
More to be desired are they than gold,
Yea, than much fine gold:
Sweeter also than honey
and the honeycomb.
The statutes of the Lord are right,
Rejoicing the heart:
The commandment of the Lord is pure,
Enlightening the eyes.
More to be desired are they than gold,
Yea, than much fine gold:
Sweeter also than honey
and the honeycomb.
The fear of the Lord is clean,
Enduring for ever:
The judgments of the Lord are true
And righteous altogether.
And in the keeping of them
There is great reward,
There is great reward.
In the keeping of them
There is great reward.
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.
CHORUS
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.
Since I met this blessed Saviour,
Since He cleansed And made me whole,
I shall never cease to praise Him,
I’ll shout it while eternity rolls.
This world is not my home
I’m just a’passing through
My treasures are laid up
Somewhere beyond the blue.
The angels beckon me
From heaven’s open door
And I can’t feel at home
In this world anymore.
CHORUS
Oh Lord you know,
I have no friend like you
If heaven’s not my home
Then Lord what will I do?
The angels beckon me
From heaven’s open door
And I can’t feel at home
In this world anymore.
They’re all expecting me
And that’s one thing I know
I fixed it up with Jesus
Many years ago.
I know He’ll see me through
Tho’ I am weak and poor
And I can’t feel at home
In this world anymore.
Just over in the gloryland,
We’ll live eternally;
The saints on every hand
Are shouting “victory”.
The songs of sweetest praise
Drift back from heaven’s shore
And I can’t feel at home
In this world anymore.
He is all I need,
He is all I need,
Jesus is all I need.
He is all I need,
He is all I need,
Jesus is all I need.
I will worship Him,
I will worship Him,
In Spirit and in truth.
I will worship Him,
I will worship Him,
In Spirit and in truth.
I will take Him now,
I will take Him now,
For all that I need.
I will take Him now,
I will take Him now,
For all that I need.
We are heirs of the Father
We are joint-heirs with the Son.
We are people of His Kingdom
We are family, we are one.
We are washed,
We are sanctified.
We are cleansed by His blood.
We are born of the Spirit
We are children of the Lord.
We are members of His body.
We are objects of His love.
We’re partakers of His holiness
We are citizens of heaven above.
We’re partakers of His suffering;
We’re partakers of His grace.
We shall meet Him to be like Him
We shall see Him face to face.
We are longing for His coming
We are looking to the skies;
We are watching, we are waiting,
We shall dwell with Him, we shall rise.
We shall reign with Him forever;
Men and angels shout and sing.
For dominion has been given
To the family of the King.
Once like a bird
In prison I dwelt.
No freedom from
My sorrow I felt.
Then Jesus came
And listened to me,
Glory to God,
He set me free.
CHORUS
He set me free,
Yes, He set me free.
He broke the bonds
Of prison for me.
I’m glory bound
My Jesus to see,
Glory to God,
He set me free.
Now I am climbing
Higher each day,
Darkness of night
Has drifted away.
My feet are planted
On higher ground,
Glory to God,
I’m homeward bound.
Good-bye to sin
And things that confound,
Naught of this world
Shall turn me around,
Daily I’m working,
I’m praying too,
Glory to God,
I’m going through.
God’s abiding peace
Is in my soul today,
Yes, I feel it now,
Yes, I feel it now;
He has taken all my
Doubts and fears away,
Though I cannot tell you how.
CHORUS
It is mine, mine,
Blessed be His name!
He has given peace,
Perfect peace to me;
It is mine, mine,
Blessed be His name!
Mine for all eternity!
He has wrought in me
A sweet and perfect rest,
In my raptured heart
I can feel it now;
He each passing moment
Keeps me saved and blest,
Floods with light
My heart and brow.
He has given me
A never failing joy,
Oh, I have it now!
Oh, I have it now!
To His praise I will my
Ransomed pow’rs employ,
And renew my grateful vow.
Oh, the love of God
Is comforting my soul,
For His love is mine,
Yes, His love is mine!
Waves of joy and gladness
O’er my spirit roll,
Thrilling me with life divine.
I builded on the Rock,
On the Rock of God,
Builded on the Rock,Christ Jesus;
I dug down deep
And builded on the Rock,
Builded on the Rock of God.
Chorus
I hold not the Rock,
But the Rock holds me
The Rock holds me,
The Rock holds me;
I rest on the Rock,
And the Rock holds me,
Resting on the Rock of God.
Why should I fear
When the winds sweep by?
Builded on the Rock, Christ Jesus;
Or shaken be when
The waves roll high?
Builded on the Rock of God.
Hush, raging billows at His command,
Builded of the Rock, Christ Jesus;
Oh, peace be still ‘neath
His loving hand!
Builded on the Rock of God.
Praise God for our foundation sure!
Builded on the Rock, Christ Jesus;
No storms can harm our house secure,
Builded on the Rock of God.
Years I spent in vanity and pride,
Caring not my Lord was crucified,
Knowing not it was for me He died
On Calvary.
CHORUS
Mercy there was great, and grace was free;
Pardon there was multiplied to me;
There my burdened soul found liberty,
At Calvary.
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.
Now I’ve given to Jesus everything,
Now I gladly own Him as my King,
Now my raptured soul can only sing
Of Calvary.
Oh, the love that drew
salvation’s plan!
Oh, the grace that brought
it down to man!
Oh, the mighty gulf that
God did span
At Calvary!
I remember when my burdens rolled away,
I had carried them for years, Night and day;
When I sought the blessed Lord,
And I took Him at His Word,
Then at once all My burdens rolled away.
CHORUS
Rolled away, rolled away,
I am happy since
My burdens rolled away;
Rolled away, rolled away,
I am happy since
My burdens rolled away.
I remember when My burdens rolled away,
That I feared would never leave Night or day;
Jesus showed to me the loss,
So I left them at the cross,
I was glad when My burdens rolled away.
I am singing since My burdens rolled away,
There’s a song within my heart Night and day;
I am living for my King,
And with joy I shout and sing
Hallelujah! all My burdens rolled away.
My Lord knows the way
Through the wilderness;
All I have to do is follow.
My Lord knows the way
Through the wilderness;
All I have to do is follow.
Strength for today is mine all the way,
And all that I need for tomorrow;
My Lord knows the way
Through the wilderness;
All I have to do is follow.
Do you hear them coming, brother,
Thronging up the steeps of light,
Clad in glorious shining garments,
Bloodwashed, garments pure and white?
CHORUS
‘Tis a glorious church
Without spot or wrinkle,
Washed in the blood of the Lamb;
‘Tis a glorious church
Without spot or wrinkle,
Washed in the blood of the Lamb;
Do you hear the stirring anthems
Filling all the earth and sky,
‘Tis a grand victorious army,
Lift its banner up on high!
Never fear the clouds of sorrow,
Never fear the storms of sin,
We shall triumph on the morrow,
Even now our joys begin.
Wave the banner, Shout His praises,
For our victory is nigh!
We shall join our conquering Savior,
We shall reign with Him on high!
‘Tis a glorious church And I am a member,
Washed in the blood of the Lamb;
‘Tis a glorious church And I am a member,
Washed in the blood of the Lamb;
Bow’d beneath your burden,
is there none to share?
Weary with the journey,
is there none to care?
Courage, way-worn trav’ler,
heed your Lord’s commands,
There’s a tho’t to cheer you,
Jesus understands.
Chorus
Yes He understands,
All His ways are best.
Hear, He calls to you,
“Come to me and rest.”
Leave the unknown future
in the Master’s hand,
Whether sad or joyful,
Jesus understands.
Ev’ry heavy burden
He will gladly share,
Are you sad and weary?
Jesus has a care;
Well He knows the pathway
o’er life’s burning sands,
Courage, fainting pilgrim,
Jesus understands.
Tho’ temptation meet you,
Jesus can sustain,
Life has vexing problems
which He can explain;
Serve Him where He sends you
though in distant lands,
Do not doubt or question,
Jesus understands.
Weary heart He calls you,
“Come to me and rest,”
Does the path grow rugged?
Yet His way is best;
Leave the unknown future
in the Master’s hands,
Whether sad or joyful,
Jesus understands.
Oh, the joy of sins forgiv’n,
Oh, the bliss the blood-washed know,
Oh, the peace akin to heav’n,
Where the healing waters flow.
Chorus
Where the healing waters flow
Where the joys celestial glow,
Oh, there’s peace and rest and love,
Where the healing waters flow!
Now with Jesus crucified,
At his feet I’m resting low;
Let me evermore abide
Where the healing waters flow.
Oh, this precious perfect love!
How it keeps the heart aglow,
Streaming from the fount above,
Where the healing waters flow.
Oh, to lean on Jesus’ breast,
While the tempests come and go!
Here is blessed peace and rest,
Where the healing waters flow.
Cleansed from ev’ry sin and stain,
Whiter than the driven snow,
Now I sing my sweet refrain,
Where the healing waters flow.
383 ‘Tis So Sweet To Trust In Jesus
‘Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus
Just to take Him at His Word;
Just to rest upon His promise;
Just to know, “Thus saith the Lord.”
CHORUS
Jesus, Jesus, how I trust Him!
How I’ve proved Him o’er and o’er!
Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus!
Oh, for grace to trust Him more!
Oh, how sweet to trust in Jesus
Just to trust His cleansing blood;
Just in simple faith to plunge me
‘Neath the healing, cleansing flood.
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.
I’m so glad I learned to trust Thee!
Precious Jesus, Savior, Friend;
And I know that Thou art with me,
Wilt be with me to the end.
384 The Church’s One Foundation
The Church’s one foundation
Is Jesus Christ her Lord:
She is His new creation
By water and the Word.
From heaven He came and sought her
To be His holy bride;
With His own blood He bought her
And for her life He died.
Elect from every 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 every grace endued.
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.
Mid toil and tribulation,
And tumult of her war,
She waits the consummation
Of peace forevermore.
Till with the vision glorious
Her longing eyes are blest,
And the great Church victorious
Shall be the church at rest.
Mine, mine, mine, Jesus is mine,
Mine when I’m weary,
Mine when I’m dreary;
Mine, mine, mine, Jesus is mine,
Mine all the time, oh yes, He’s mine.
My stubborn will at last hath yielded;
I would be Thine, and Thine alone;
And this the prayer my lips are bringing,
“Lord, let in me Thy will be done.”
CHORUS
Sweet will of God, still fold me closer,
Till I am wholly lost in Thee;
Sweet will of God, still fold me closer,
Till I am wholly lost in Thee.
I’m tired of sin, foot-sore and weary,
The dark-some path hath dreary grown,
But now a light has ris’n to cheer me;
I find in Thee my Star, my Sun.
Thy precious will, Oh conqu’ring Saviour,
Doth now embrace and compass me;
All discords hushed, my peace a river,
My soul a prisoned bird set free.
Shut in with Thee, Oh Lord, forever,
My wayward feet no more to roam;
What pow’r from Thee my soul can sever?
The center of God’s will my home.
We are heirs of the Father
We are joint-heirs with the Son.
We are people of His Kingdom
We are family, we are one.
We are washed,
We are sanctified.
We are cleansed by His blood.
We are born of the Spirit
We are children of the Lord.
We are members of His body.
We are objects of His love.
We’re partakers of His holiness
We are citizens of heaven above.
We’re partakers of His suffering;
We’re partakers of His grace.
We shall meet Him to be like Him
We shall see Him face to face.
We are longing for His coming
We are looking to the skies;
We are watching, we are waiting,
We shall dwell with Him, we shall rise.
We shall reign with Him forever;
Men and angels shout and sing.
For dominion has been given
To the family of the King.
I came to Jesus,
Weary worn and sad,
He took my sins away,
He took my sins away.
And now His love
Has made my heart so glad,
He took my sins away.
CHORUS
He took my sins away,
He took my sins away,
And keeps me singing every day!
I’m so glad He took my sins away,
He took my sins away.
The load of sin
Was more than I could bear,
He took them all away,
He took them all away.
And now on Him
I roll my every care,
He took my sins away.
No condemnation
Have I in my heart,
He took my sins away,
He took my sins away.
His perfect peace
He did to me impart,
He took my sins away.
If you will come
To Jesus Christ today,
He’ll take your sins away,
He’ll take your sins away.
And keep you happy
In His love each day,
He’ll take your sins away.
When peace like a river, attendeth my way,
When sorrows like sea billows roll
Whatever my lot, thou hast taught me to say
It is well, it is well, with my soul
Chorus
It is well
With my soul
It is well, it is well with my soul
Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come,
Let this blest assurance control,
That Christ has regarded my helpless estate,
And hath shed His own blood for my soul
My sin, oh, the bliss of this glorious thought
My sin, not in part but the whole,
Is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more,
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, o my soul
And Lord, haste the day when the faith shall be sight,
The clouds be rolled back as a scroll;
The trump shall resound, and the Lord shall descend,
Even so, it is well with my soul.
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!
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah,
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah,
Chorus
Hallelujah, hallelujah,
Hallelujah, hallelujah,
Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus,
Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus,
What a friend we have in Jesus
All our sins and griefs to bear;
What a privilege to carry,
Everything to God in prayer.
Oh the judgment day is coming
What an awful day ’twill be,
Christ forever is my refuge
Rock of ages cleft for me.
CHORUS
Oh, my loving brother,
When the world’s on fire,
Don’t you want God’s bosom
To be your pillow,
Hide me over in the rock of ages
Rock of ages cleft for me.
At the sounding of the trumpet,
At the dawning of the day,
Worldly pleasures with their treasures,
Shall forever pass away.
Poor lost sinners will be crying,
For the home they’ll never see,
But the ransomed will be singing
Rock of ages, cleft for me.
For a long time I travelled
Down a long lonely road;
My heart was so heavy in sin I sank low.
Then I heard about Jesus,
What a wonderful hour;
I’m so glad that I found out
He could bring me out
Through His saving power.
CHORUS
Thank God I am free, free, free
From this world of sin.
Been washed in the blood of Jesus,
I’ve been born again.
Hallelujah, I’m saved, saved, saved
By His wonderful grace.
I’m so glad that I found out
He could bring me out
And show me the way.
Like a bird out of prison
That’s taken its flight;
Like a blind man that God
Gave back his sight.
Like a poor wretched beggar
That’s found fortune and fame,
I’m so glad that I found out
He could bring me out
Thro’ His Holy name.
He paid a debt He did not owe,
I owed a debt I could not pay,
I needed someone to wash my sins away;
And now I sing a brand new song,
Amazing grace all day long,
Christ Jesus paid a debt
That I could never pay.
He paid a debt at Calvary,
He cleansed my soul and set me free,
I’m glad that Jesus did all
my sins erase.
I now can sing a brand new song,
Amazing grace all day long,
Christ Jesus paid a debt
That I could never pay.
One day He’s coming back for me,
To live with Him eternally,
Won’t it be glory to see Him
on that day!
I then will sing a brand new song,
Amazing grace all day long
Christ Jesus paid a debt
That I could never pay.
His name is wonderful;
His name is wonderful;
His name is wonderful,Jesus my Lord.
He is the mighty King,
Master of everything,
His name is wonderful,Jesus my Lord.
He’s the great Shepherd,
The Rock of all ages.
Almighty God is He.
Bow down before Him,
Love and adore Him.
His name is wonderful,Jesus my Lord.
So glad I’m yours, Lord,
So glad I’m yours.
So glad your mercy,
Has followed me.
So glad you found me,
And set me free
So glad I’m yours, Lord,
So glad I’m yours.
We’re together again Just praising the Lord.
We’re together again In one accord.
Something good Is going to happen,
Something good is in store.
We’re together again, Just praising the Lord.
There’s a river of life
Flowing out from me;
Makes the lame to walk
And the blind to see.
Opens prison doors,
Sets the captives free,
There’s a river of life
Flowing out from me.
428 I Get So Thrilled With Jesus
I get so thrilled with Jesus
Every moment of the day.
I get so thrilled with Jesus
He’s the truth, the life, the way.
I get so thrilled with Jesus
He satisfies my longing soul.
I get so thrilled with Jesus
He’s the One who makes me whole.
Give me oil in my lamp
Keep me burning;
Give me oil in my lamp I pray.
Give me oil in my lamp
Keep me burning,
Keep me burning ’til the break of day.

Don’t lose your vision of Jesus
Keep your eyes ever on Him,
Many friends and dear loved ones
Have lost their way.
They have lost their vision of Him.
Thy loving kindness is better than life;
Thy loving kindness is better than life.
My lips shall praise Thee
Thus will I bless Thee;
I will lift up my hands in Thy name.
I lift my hands Lord, unto Thy name;

In the Name Of Jesus, in the Name Of Jesus
We have the victory,
In the Name Of Jesus, in the Name Of Jesus
Demons will have to flee.
When we come in the Name of Jesus,
Tell me who can stand before,
In the precious Name Of Jesus,
We have the victory.
Learning to lean,
I’m learning to lean,
I’m learning to lean on Jesus,
Finding more power than I ever dreamed
I’m learning to lean on Jesus.
Sad, broken hearted,
At an altar I knelt.
I found peace that is so serene.
And all that He asks
Is a child like trust
And a heart that is
Learning to lean.
Make me more like thee, Jesus.
Make me more like thee.
Give me a heart that’s filled with love,
And make me more like thee.
I want to live,
The way He wants me to live,
I want to give,
Until there’s just no more to give,
I want to love,
Love ’til there’s just no more love,
For I could never,
Ever outlove the Lord.
Thank you, Lord, for saving my soul,
Thank you, Lord, for making me whole,
Thank you, Lord, for giving to me,
Thy great salvation so rich and free.
God is so good,
God is so good,
God is so good,
He’s so good to me!

He’s so good to me!
He cares for me,
He cares for me,
He cares for me,
He’s so good to me!
I love Him so,
I love Him so,
I love Him so,
He’s so good to me!
I’ll do His will,
I’ll do His will,
I’ll do His will,
He’s so good to me!
I praise His name,
I praise His name,
I praise His name,
He’s so good to me!
Every promise in the Book is mine,
Every chapter, every verse, every line.
I am trusting in His love divine,
Every promise in the Book is mine.
He is Lord, He is Lord,
He has risen from the dead
And He is Lord,
Every knee shall bow,
Every tongue confess,
That Jesus Christ is Lord
He’s my Lord, He’s my Lord,
He has risen from the dead
And He’s my Lord,
Every knee shall bow,
Every tongue confess,
That Jesus Christ is Lord
Touching Jesus is all that really matters,
Then your life will never be the same;
And there’s only one way to touch Him
Just believe, when you call on His name.

If that Spirit dwell in you.
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus,
There’s just something about that name.
Master, Saviour, Jesus!
Like the fragrance after the rain.
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus!
Let all heaven and earth proclaim,
Kings and kingdoms will all pass away,
But there’s something about that name!
Just any day now our Lord is coming.
He’ll be returning, for you and me.
Oh I’ve been watching
And I’ve been waiting
Just any day now, His face I’ll see.
What a mighty God we serve,
What a mighty God we serve,
Angels bow before Him,
Heaven and earth adore Him,
What a mighty God we serve.
Jesus is the God we serve,
Jesus is the God we serve,
Angels bow before Him,
Heaven and earth adore Him,
Jesus is the God we serve.
589 I Can’t Even Walk Without You Holding My Hand
I thought number one would surely be me,
I thought I could be what I wanted to be.
I thought I could build on life’s sinking sand,
But I can’t even walk without you holding my hand.
CHORUS
I can’t even walk without you holding my hand.
The mountain’s too high and the valley’s too wide
Down on my knees, I learned to stand,
Lord I can’t even walk without you holding my hand.
I thought I had done a lot on my own.
I thought I could make it all alone.
I thought of myself as a mighty big man,
But I can’t even walk without you holding my hand.
594 Holy Spirit, Thou Art Welcome
Holy Spirit, Thou art welcome
in this place,
Holy Spirit, Thou art welcome
in this place.
Omnipotent Father of mercy
and grace
Thou art welcome in this place.
Lord in Thy presence there’s
healing divine;
No other power can save,
Lord, but Thine.
Holy Spirit Thou art welcome
in this place,
Thou art welcome in this place.
Holy Spirit, Thou art welcome
in this place,
Holy Spirit, thou art welcome
in this place.
Omnipotent Father of mercy
and grace
Thou art welcome in this place.
Fill all the hungry,
and empty within;
Restore us, oh Father,
revive us again.
Holy Spirit, Thou art welcome
in this place,
Thou art welcome in this place.
I have found His grace is all complete,
He supplieth every need;
While I sit and learn at Jesus’ feet,
I am free, yes, free indeed.
Chorus
It is joy unspeakable and full of glory,
Full of glory, full of glory;
It is joy unspeakable and full of glory,
Oh, the half has never yet been told.
I have found the pleasure I once craved,
It is joy and peace within;
What a wondrous blessing, I am saved
From the awful gulf of sin.
I have found that hope so bright and clear,
Living in the realm of grace;
Oh, the Savior’s presence is so near,
I can see His smiling face.
I have found the joy no tongue can tell,
How its waves of glory roll;
It is like a great o’erflowing well,
Springing up within my soul.
I was in sin’s prison, oh, so dark and cold
Like a lost sheep wandering from God’s eternal fold;
Then the door swung open, and He spoke to me
“I have signed your pardon, now you may go free.”
Chorus
Jesus signed my pardon, this I surely know
Took my place at Calvary, now I won’t have to go;
All my life I’ll give to Him – He gave His for me
When He signed my pardon there at Calvary.
Since the Savior led me from that awful place
I can hear the angels as they sing Amazing Grace;
I know I was pardoned from my sin and shame
When I joined them singing, “Glory to His name.”
Life is now worth living since I’ve been set free
I’m so glad He was willing to save a wretch like me;
Now I have a mansion, not a prison wall
Jesus signed my pardon, Jesus paid it all.
Soon and very soon,
We are going to see the King.
Soon and very soon,
We are going to see the King.
Soon and very soon,
We are going to see the King.
Hallelujah, hallelujah,
We’re going to see the King.
No more crying there,
We are going to see the King.
No more crying there,
We are going to see the King.
No more crying there,
We are going to see the King.
Hallelujah, hallelujah,
We’re going to see the King.
No more dying there,
We are going to see the King.
No more dying there,
We are going to see the King.
No more dying there,
We are going to see the King.
Hallelujah, hallelujah,
We’re going to see the King.
No more parting there,
We are going to see the King.
No more parting there,
We are going to see the King.
No more parting there,
We are going to see the King.
Hallelujah, hallelujah,
We’re going to see the King.
Hebrews 13:8,
We are going to see the King.
Hebrews 13:8,

Hallelujah, hallelujah,

Mercy rewrote my life,
Mercy rewrote my life,
I should have fallen, my soul cast down
But mercy rewrote my life.
All is well, all is well;
We have heard the message Shalom;
And all is well
For there is a place of perfect rest,
Behind the inner veil,
So rest little bride, rest for all is well,
Just suppose God searched through Heaven,
And couldn’t find one willing to be,
The supreme sacrifice that was needed,
That would buy eternal life for you and me
Chorus
Had it not been for a place called Mount Calvary,
Had it not been for the old rugged cross,
Had it not been for a man called Jesus,
Then forever my soul would be lost
Well I’m so glad He was willing to drink His bitter cup,
Although He prayed “Father let it pass from me”,
And I’m so glad He never called Heaven’s angels,
From these hands, Pulled the nails that torment me
733 Can’t You See Why I’m Happy
Can’t you see why I’m happy?
I’ve Accepted the Word of the Lord
The revealed Word that was spoken
By the prophet of Malachi 4.
Years I spent in vanity
and pride,
Caring not my Lord
was crucified,
Knowing not it was for
me He died
On Calvary.
CHORUS
Mercy there was great,
and grace was free;
Pardon there was multiplied
to me;
There my burdened soul
found liberty,
At Calvary.
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.
Now I’ve given to Jesus
everything,
Now I gladly own Him as
my King,
Now my raptured soul can
only sing
Of Calvary.
Oh, the love that drew
salvation’s plan!
Oh, the grace that brought
it down to man!
Oh, the mighty gulf that
God did span
At Calvary!
God’s abiding peace
Is in my soul today,
Yes, I feel it now,
Yes, I feel it now;
He has taken all my
Doubts and fears away,
Though I cannot tell you how.
CHORUS
It is mine, mine,
Blessed be His name!
He has given peace,
Perfect peace to me;
It is mine, mine,
Blessed be His name!
Mine for all eternity!
He has wrought in me
A sweet and perfect rest,
In my raptured heart
I can feel it now;
He each passing moment
Keeps me saved and blest,
Floods with light
My heart and brow.
He has given me
A never failing joy,
Oh, I have it now!
Oh, I have it now!
To His praise I will my
Ransomed pow’rs employ,
And renew my grateful vow.
Oh, the love of God
Is comforting my soul,
For His love is mine,
Yes, His love is mine!
Waves of joy and gladness
O’er my spirit roll,
Thrilling me with life divine.
Why should I feel discouraged?
Why should the shadows come?
Why should my heart be lonely
and long for heaven 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.
Chorus
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.
“Let not your heart be troubled,”
his tender word I hear,
and resting on his goodness,
I lose my doubts and fears;
though 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.
Whenever I am tempted,
whenever clouds arise,
when song gives 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 watches me;
his eye is on the sparrow,
and I know he watches me.
Without Him I could do nothing
Without Him I’d surely fail
Without Him I would be drifting
Like a ship without a sail
Chorus
Jesus, O Jesus
Do you know Him today
Do not turn Him away
O Jesus, O Jesus
Without Him, how lost I would be!
Without Him I could be dying
Without Him I’d be enslaved
Without Him life would be hopeless
But with Jesus, Thank God
I’m saved!
When life lets you down, and you feel more broken than whole
When the wounds go deeper than words and you can’t tell a soul
I may not know what you’re going through
May not can make that high mountain move
But one thing I’ve found that I really want you to know
Chorus
If it matters to you, it matters to the Master
He wants to share the burdens you bear
Whisper peace when your world gets shattered
If it’s your greatest joy or your deepest pain
Or you’re really needing an answer
If it matters to you, it matters to the Master
Friend, do you think the Maker and giver of life
Is far too busy to care ’bout your trouble and strife?
He sees the sparrow that falls to the ground
And He hears the tears that don’t make a sound
If you only knew how precious you are in His sight
901 Take Me In To Holy of Holies
Take me into the Holy of Holies
Take me in by the blood of the Lamb
Take me into Holy of Holies
Take Thy coal, cleanse my lips,
Here I am.
902 The Messiah is the King of Kings
The Messiah is the King of kings;
The Messiah is the Lord of lords;
The Messiah is the King of kings;
The Messiah is the Lord of lords;
He is the King of kings;
He is the Lord of lords;
The Messiah is the King of kings;
The Messiah is the Lord of lords.
903 I Will Celebrate
I will celebrate, sing unto the Lord.
I will sing to Him a new song.
I will celebrate, sing unto the Lord.
I will sing to Him a new song.
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah,
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah,
Jehovah-Jireh, my provider
His grace is sufficient for me, for me
Jehovah-Jireh, my provider
His grace is sufficient for me.
I will praise Him
I will sing to Him a new song
I will praise Him
I will sing to Him a new song
Chorus
Those aren’t nail scars, that’s my name.
Those aren’t nail scars, they bore my shame.
The hammer and nails engraved my name
For Him to read, oh so plain
Those aren’t nail scars, that’s my name.
They stripped His clothes, they slapped His face,
They pierces His hands; He bore the dis-grace.
He gave His life on the tree, but He never forget me
Cause those aren’t nail scars, that’s my name.
He took my sin, He took my pain,
He bore my sickness, He bore my pain
Now look down but doesn’t see me.
He sees the blood he shed so free,
and I won’t see nail scars. I’ll see my name.
Some day by His grace, I’ll see his face
I’ll be by His side, to ever abide.
And when I take His hand in mine,
Because He suffered for Love divine
I won’t see nail scars, I’ll see my name.
Final:
He bowed His head on the tree
And He did it all for me.
Cause those aren’t nail scars, that’s my name.
905 This is the Year of Jubilee
This is the year of Jubilee,
When the lame shall walk and the blind shall see.
And the Lord shall set the captives free.
This is the year of Jubilee.

With wisdom, power, and love.

907 He is Risen
It was on a Sunday morning;
all the world had been in mourning.
Jesus Christ had suffered bled and died alone.
When his friends had gone to seek Him,
in the tomb they tried to keep Him,
but the stone was rolled away, the Lord was gone.
chorus
Yes, He’s risen here today.
He’s no longer where He lay.
He is risen for I feel Him in my soul.
When His life on earth had ended
on to glory He ascended.
He is risen for I feel Him in my soul.
Those who came were struck with terror
feeling there had been some error;
and they marveled at the angel as he said,
“If it’s Jesus you are seeking,
He is gone for none could keep Him.
Come behold the place and see where He was laid.”
On a lonely road was walking,
two disciples gently talking,
when a stranger overtook them on their way.
It was Jesus who had risen
that their sins might be forgiven,
and their hearts did burn within them on their way.
908 There is a Cross in Your Way
It isn’t easy to end up in hell;
Heaven’s built a barricade.
Time rotted the wood and rusted the nails,
And there’s still something that stands in your way
Chorus
There is a Cross in your way; a wall of mercy and grace.
There’s just one way your soul can be lost:
You’ve gotta trample the blood, climb over the Cross.
No, it’s not easy to stray; there is a Cross in your way.
Hell’s getting bigger; the gate’s open wide.
The road gets broader every hour.
And your easy street living, just letting things slide
You can skip down the lane and pick the wildflower
“You must fight your way to hell.”
This is what our prophet said.
And sin leaves its scars when we don’t heed the Word,
So let’s line up our lives to the Message we’ve heard.
909 In The Shelter Of His Arms
When my soul was disturbed with sorrow
When My heart was burdened with sin
Jesus opened His arms of mercy
And tenderly took me in
Chorus
There is peace in the time of trouble
There is peace in the midst of the storm
There is peace though the world be raging
In the shelter of His arms
There are storms that we all encounter
Do not fear they will do you no harm
In the Lord you will find protection
In the shelter of His arms
Tho’ the world all around be raging
And it’s filled with many alarms.
Trust in Jesus and He will keep you.
In the shelter of His arms
Lead me Lord, I will follow,
Lead me Lord, I will go.
You have called me, I will answer.
Lead me Lord, I will go.
Father I see that you are drawing a line in the sand
And I want to be standing on your side, holding your hand
So let your kingdom come, let it live in me
This is my prayer, this is my plea
Father I see that you are drawing a line in the sand
And I want to be standing on your side, holding your hand
So let your kingdom come, let it live in me
This is my prayer, this is my plea
[Chorus]
Let the worshipers arise
Let the sons and the daughters sing
I’m surrendering my all
I surrender to the King
Let the worshipers arise
Let the sons and the daughters sing
I’m surrendering my all
I surrender to the King
Father I hear it growing louder
The song of your redeemed
As the Bride of every nation
Is awakening to sing
From our hearts there comes an anthem
Oh, hear the heavens ring
This is our song, a song to our King!
Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing,
but he revealeth his secret
unto his servants the prophets.
Amos 3:7
Without Him I could do nothing
Without Him I’d surely fail
Without Him I would be drifting
Like a ship without a sail
Chorus
Jesus, O Jesus
Do you know Him today
Do not turn Him away
O Jesus, O Jesus
Without Him, how lost I would be!
Without Him I could be dying
Without Him I’d be enslaved
Without Him life would be hopeless
But with Jesus, Thank God
I’m saved!

Jesus Christ the same yesterday,
And today, and forever.
Jesus Christ the same yesterday,
And today, and forever.
I am redeemed, bought with a price
Jesus has changed my whole life
If anybody asks you just who I am
Tell them, I am Redeemed.
His heart was broken, mine was mended
He became sin, now I am clean.
The cross he carried bore my burden.
The nails that held him set me free.
Chorus:
His life for mine, his life for mine
How could it ever be?
That he would die, God’s son would die
To save a wretch like me
What love divine, he gave his life for mine.
His scars of suffering brought me healing
He spilled his blood to fill my soul.
His crown of thorns made me royalty
His sorrow gave me joy untold
Bridge:
He was despised and rejected, stripped of his garments and oppressed
I am loved and accepted and I wear a robe of righteousness
Chorus:
His life for yours, his life for mine
How could it ever be?
That he would die, God’s son would die
To save a wretch like me
What love divine, he gave his life for mine!
5 Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet
before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord:
6 And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children,
and the heart of the children to their fathers,
lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.
Have faith in God,
Have faith in God,
Have faith in God for your answer,
Have faith in God.
Jesus had in his right hand,
Seven golden candlesticks and seven stars.
The seven stars are the seven angels,
The seven candlesticks are the seven churches.

Stars in His crown to shine.

I love you, Lord
And I lift my voice
To worship You
Oh, my soul, rejoice!
Take joy my King
In what You hear
Let it be a sweet, sweet sound
In Your ear.
God will make a way
Where there seems to be no way
He works in ways we cannot see
He will make a way for me
He will be my guide
Hold me closely to His side
With love and strength for each new day
He will make a way, He will make a way
By a roadway in the wilderness, He’ll lead me
And rivers in the desert will I see
Heaven and Earth will fade but His Word will still remain
And He will do something new today
923 Lord I Want To Be a Christian
Lord, I want to be a Christian
in my heart, in my heart.
Lord, I want to be a Christian in my heart.
In my heart, in my heart,
Lord, I want to be a Christian in my heart.
Lord, I want to be more loving
in my heart, in my heart.
Lord, I want to be more loving in my heart.
In my heart, in my heart,
Lord, I want to be more loving in my heart.
Lord, I want to be more holy
in my heart, in my heart.
Lord, I want to be more holy in my heart.
In my heart, in my heart,
Lord, I want to be more holy in my heart.
Lord, I want to be like Jesus
in my heart, in my heart.
Lord, I want to be like Jesus in my heart.
In my heart, in my heart,
Lord, I want to be like Jesus in my heart.
930 In The Presence of Jehovah
In and out of situations
That tug o’ war at me;
All day long I struggle
For answers that I need.
But then I come into His presence
And all my questions become clear
And for a sacred moment
No doubt can interfere.
Chorus:
In the presence of Jehovah
God Almighty, Prince of Peace,
Troubles vanish, hearts are mended
In the presence of the King.
Through His love the Lord provided
A place for us to rest;
A place to find the answers
In the hours of distress.
Now there is never any reason
For youto give up in despair;
Just slip away and breathe His name
He will surely meet you there.
Chorus
And you won’t leave here
Like you came in Jesus’ name
Bound oppressed tormented
Sick or lame
‘Cause the Holy Ghost of Acts
Is still the same
You won’t leave here
Like you came in Jesus’ name
The Spirit of the Lord is on me
To preach the Gospel to the poor
To heal the sick to set the captive free
The Spirit of the Lord is on me
God’s anointed me to preach and teach
He confirms the Word consistently
Signs and wonders follow faithfully
God’s anointed me to preach and teach
God wrought special miracles by Paul
And through Paul’s hands the power was passed on
God anoints whomever that He please
And He’s chosen the tongue and pen of me
Remember what happened here in ’33
A Pillar of Fire appeared for all to see
“As John the Baptist was sent, so are you”,
Our Prophet heard God’s Voice speak audibly.
God came in flesh in this last day
To fulfill Hebrews 13:8.
Only Believe, is all you have to do,
The Living Word made manifest in you.
God has chosen us to hear His Voice
The stored up food is our only choice.
He requires the Stature of a Perfect Man,
And then the resurrection will be at hand.
We shall Overcome by the Blood of the Lamb
And the word of our testimony
We shall Overcome by the Blood of the Lamb
And the word of our testimony
Sing Hallelujah, sing Hallelujah
Sing Hallelujah
Sing Hallelujah, sing Hallelujah
Sing Hallelujah
There is Power in the name of Jesus,
There is Power in the name of Jesus,
There is Power in the name of Jesus,
To break every chain, to break every chain
To break every chain.
To break every chain, to break every chain
To break every chain.
There is an army rising up,
There is an army rising up,
There is an army rising up,
To break every chain, to break every chain
To break every chain.
To break every chain, to break every chain
To break every chain.
The Bride is rising up,
The Bride is rising up,
The Bride is rising up,
To break every chain, to break every chain
To break every chain.
To break every chain, to break every chain
To break every chain.
I may never march in the infantry
Ride in the cavalry
Shoot the artillery
I may never fly o’er the enemy
But I’m in the Lord’s army (Yes, sir!)
I’m in the Lord’s army (Yes, sir!)
I’m in the Lord’s army (Yes, sir!)
’Twas a day in early springtime,
By an ancient wayside well,
Eliezer paused to rest his camel train.
He had found a bride for Isaac
Ere the evening shadows fell,
For his weary journey had not been in vain.
Chorus
Oh, get ready! Evening shadows fall.
Don’t you hear the Eliezer call?
There’s going to be a wedding,
And our joy will soon begin,
In the evening when the camel train comes in.
So he took the fair Rebekah,
Dressed in jewels rich and rare,
Quickly to her waiting bridegroom far away.
Where Rebekah loved her Isaac,
And he loved Rebekah fair;
Oh, it must have been a happy wedding day.
Now the blessed Holy Spirit,
From our Father God above,
Has come down to earth to find a worthy Bride.
For our Isaac over yonder
Has prepared His tents of love,
And He wants His fair Rebekah by His side.
We have left our kinfolk gladly;
We have bade the world goodbye.
We’ve been called to be His pure and spotless Bride;
Where we’ll soon behold our Jesus
In that blest eternity—
What a happy, happy wedding that will be!
938 When The Spirit of The Lord
When the Spirit of the Lord comes on my heart
I will pray like David prayed.
When the Spirit of the Lord comes on my heart
I will pray like David prayed.
I will pray, I will pray.
I will pray like David prayed.
I will pray, I will pray.
I will pray like David prayed.
When the Spirit of the Lord comes on my heart
I will sing like David sang.
When the Spirit of the Lord comes on my heart
I will sing like David sang.
I will sing, I will sing.
I will sing like David sang.
I will sing, I will sing.
I will sing like David sang.
When the Spirit of the Lord comes on my heart
I will love like David loved.
When the Spirit of the Lord comes on my heart
I will love like David loved.
I will love, I will love.
I will love like David loved.
I will love, I will love.
I will love like David loved.
I am under the rock;
The rock that’s higher than I
Jehovah hides me, I am under the rock.
Go tell my enemies that I am under the rock
Jehovah hides me, I am under the rock.
I’ve seen the lightning flashing,
And heard the thunder roll;
I’ve felt sin’s breakers dashing,
Trying to conquer my soul;
I’ve heard the voice of Jesus,
Telling me still to fight on;
He promised never to leave me,
Never to leave me alone.
Chorus
No, never alone,
No, never alone,
He promised never to leave me,
Never to leave me alone;
No, never alone,
No, never alone,
He promised never to leave me,
Never to leave me alone.
The world’s fierce winds are blowing,
Temptations are sharp and keen;
I feel a peace in knowing
My Savior stands between;
He stands to shield me from danger,
When earthly friends are gone,
He promised never to leave me,
Never to leave me alone.
When in affliction’s valley,
I’m treading the road of care,
My Savior helps me to carry
My cross when heavy to bear;
My feet entangled with briars,
Ready to cast me down;
My Savior whispered His promise,
Never to leave me alone.
He died for me on the mountain,
For me they pierced His side,
For me He opened that fountain,
The crimson, cleansing tide;
For me He waiteth in glory,
Seated upon His throne;
He promised never to leave me,
Never to leave me alone.
Sing hallelujah to the King
(Sing hallelujah to the King)
Sing hallelujah to the King
(Sing hallelujah)
Sing hallelujah, Sing hallelujah
Sing hallelujah to the King
Jesus is coming for His Bride
(Jesus is coming for His Bride)
Jesus is coming for His Bride
(Jesus is coming)
Jesus is coming, Jesus is coming
Jesus is coming for His Bride
What ever happened to death do us part?
Does the home reflect the heart?
Parents faces tell of worried minds.
While children search, but can’t seem to find.
It’s time we took a closer look,
got back to living by the Holy book.
No compomise without getting slack, You see
We’ll go forwand if we just go back.
Chorus
We’re going back to living true,
We’re going back to the absolute
Back to where the church stands strong.
Back to where there is a right, There is a wrong.
Back to where there’s black or white,
You see the differance is like day and night
We’re going back to things above,
We’re going back to our first love.
We’ll know the tree by the fruits we see.
Serving God has no in between.
We’re either cold or we’re hot,
He said lukewarm will have no part.
It’s coming down to in or out,
There’s no time for playing around.
We’re coming down to lost or found,
We’re going back to stand our ground
Then we’ll rise like a sleeping giant,
Standing tall in God’s strength and might.
The power we’ve claimed so long,
You see it’s returning, We’re being made strong.
We’re not looking to the right or left.
Our eyes opened, and their spirit led.
We’re going back to true or false,
We’ve got to go back to Calvary’s Cross.
