4 A MIGHTY FORTRESS IS OUR GOD A mighty fortress is our God, A bulwark never failing: Our Helper He, amid the flood Of mortal ills prevailing. For still our ancient foe Doth seek to work his woe His craft and power are great, And armed with cruel hate On earth is not his equal. Did we in our own strength confide, Our striving would be losing. Were not the right Man on our side, The Man of God s own choosing. Dost ask who that may be? Christ Jesus, it is He! Lord Sabaoth is His name, From age to age the same: And He must win the battle. And though this world, with devils filled, Should threaten to undo us, We will not fear; for God hath willed His truth to triumph through us. Let goods and kindred go, This mortal life also; The body they may kill: God s truth abideth still, His kingdom is for ever.

5 ABIDE WITH ME Abide with me: fast falls the eventide, The darkness deepens; Lord, with me abide; When other helpers fail, and comforts flee, Help of the helpless, oh abide with me. Swift to its close ebbs out life s little day; Earth s joys grow dim, its glories pass away; Change and decay in all around I see; O Thou who changest not, abide with me. I fear no foe, with Thee at hand to bless; Ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness; Where is death s sting? Where, grave, thy victory? I triumph still if Thou abide with me. Hold Thou Thy cross before my closing eyes, Shine through the gloom, and point me to the skies, Heaven s morning breaks, and earth s vain shadows flee, In life and death, O Lord, abide with me.

6 ALL PEOPLE THAT ON EARTH DO DWELL All people that on earth do dwell, Sing to the Lord with cheerful voice. Him serve with mirth, His praise forth tell Come ye before Him, and rejoice. Know that the Lord is God indeed; Without our aid He did us make; We are His folk, He doth us feed. And for His sheep He doth us take. O enter then His gates with praise, Approach with joy His courts unto; Praise, laud, and bless His name always, For it is seemly so to do. For why, the Lord our God is good; His mercy is forever sure; His truth at all times firmly stood, And shall from age to age endure.

7 ALL THE WAY All the way my Saviour leads me; what have I to ask beside? Can I doubt His tender mercy, who through life has been my guide? Heavenly peace, divinest comfort, here by faith in Him to dwell; For I know whate er befall me, Jesus doeth all things well; All the way my Saviour leads me; cheers each winding path I tread; Gives me grace for every trial, feeds me with the living bread; Though my weary steps may falter, and my soul a thirst may be, Gushing from the rock before me, lo, a spring of joy I see; All the way my Saviour leads me; O the fullness of His love! Perfect rest to me is promised in my Father s house above: When I wake to life immortal, wing my flight to realms of day, This my song through endless ages, Jesus led me all the way.

8 ALL THINGS BRIGHT AND BEAUTIFUL All things bright and beautiful, all creatures great and small, All things wise and wonderful, The Lord God made them all. Each little flower that opens, each little bird that sings, He made their glowing colors, He made their tiny wings. The purple headed mountains, the river running by, The sunset, and the morning, that brightens up the sky. The cold wind in the winter, the pleasant summer sun, The ripe fruits in the garden, He made them, every one. The tall trees in the greenwood, the meadows where we play, The rushes by the water, we gather every day. He gave us eyes to see them, and lips that we might tell, How great is God Almighty, who has made all things well. All things bright and beautiful, all creatures great and small, All things wise and wonderful, The Lord God made them all.

9 AMAZING GRACE (Traditional) Amazing Grace! How sweet the sound That saved a wretch like me! I once was lost, but now am found Was blind, but now I see. 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 has 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 Then when we d first begun.

10 AMAZING GRACE Amazing Grace that God who made, Life vast and full and free, Should share His truth, His grace, His love With folk like you and me. Twas Grace that taught my heart to fear, And Grace my fears relieved; How precious did that Grace appear The hour I first believed. Through many dangers, toils and snares, I have already come; Tis Grace that brought me safe thus far, And Grace will lead me home. Grant us the Grace of faith and trust Our mission to fulfill, So that in life, beyond this life, We ll know Your perfect will.

11 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. He has sounded forth the trumpet that shall never call retreat; He is sifting out the hearts of men before His judgement seat; O 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. CHORUS Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! His truth is marching on.

12 BEAUTIFUL ISLE OF SOMEWHERE Somewhere the sun is shining, somewhere the songbirds dwell. Hush, then, thy sad repining, God lives and all is well. Somewhere the day is longer, somewhere the talk is done, Somewhere the heart is stronger, somewhere the guerdon won. CHORUS Somewhere, somewhere, Beautiful Isle of Somewhere! Land of the true where we live anew, Beautiful Isle of Somewhere.

13 BEYOND THE SUNSET Beyond the sunset, O blissful morning, When with our Saviour heav n is begun. Earth s toiling ended, O glorious dawning; Beyond the sunset, when day is done. Beyond the sunset no clouds will gather, No storms will threaten, no fears annoy; O day of gladness, O 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, O glad reunion, With our dear loved ones who ve gone before; In that fair homeland we ll know no parting, Beyond the sunset for evermore! Copyright 1936 by the Rodeheaver Co.

14 BLESSED ASSURANCE, JESUS IS MINE! Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine! O, what a foretaste of glory divine! Heir of salvation, purchase of God, Born of His spirit, washed in His blood. 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 Saviour am happy and blest, Watching and waiting, looking above, Filled with His goodness lost in His love. CHORUS This is my story, this is my song, praising my Saviour all the day long. This is my story, this is my song, praising my Saviour all the day long.

15 BLEST BE THE TIE 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.

16 BREATHE ON ME, BREATH OF GOD Breathe on me, breath of God, Fill me with life anew, That I may love what Thou dost love, And do what Thou wouldst do. Breathe on me, breath of God, Until my heart is pure; Until my will is one with Thine To do and to endure. Breathe on me, breath of God, Till I am wholly Thine; Until this earthly part of me Glows with Thy fire divine. Breathe on me, breath of God, So shall I never die, But live with Thee the perfect life Of Thine eternity.

17 BRINGING IN THE SHEAVES 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. 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, Tho 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. CHORUS Bringing in the sheaves, bringing in the sheaves, We shall come rejoicing, bringing in the sheaves; Bringing in the sheaves, bringing in the sheaves, We shall come rejoicing, bringing in the sheaves.

18 CHRIST THE LORD IS RISEN Christ, The Lord is risen today, Hallelujah! Sons of men and angels say: Hallelujah! Raise your joys and triumphs high: Hallelujah! Sing ye heavens, and earth reply, Hallelujah! Vain the stone, the watch, the seal; Hallelujah! Christ hath burst the gates of hell: Hallelujah! Death in vain forbids His rise; Hallelujah! Christ hath opened Paradise, Hallelujah! Lives again our glorious King; Hallelujah! Where, O death, is now thy sting? Hallelujah! Once He died, our souls to save; Hallelujah! Were thy victory, O grave? Hallelujah! Soar we now where Christ has led, Hallelujah! Following our exalted Head; Hallelujah! Made like Him, like Him we rise; Hallelujah! Ours the cross, the grave, the skies, Hallelujah! Hail, the Lord of earth and heaven! Hallelujah! Praise to Thee by both be given; Hallelujah! Thee we greet triumphant now; Hallelujah! Hail, the Resurrection Thou, Hallelujah!

19 CHURCH IN THE WILDWOOD There s a church in the valley by the wildwood, No lovelier spot in the dale; No place is so dear to my childhood, As the little brown church in the vale. How sweet on a clear Sabbath morning, To list to the clear ringing bell; Its tones so sweetly are calling, Oh, come to the church in the vale. From the church in the valley by the wildwood, When day fades away into night, I would fain from this spot of my childhood Wing my way to the mansions of light. CHORUS Come to the church in the wildwood, Oh, come to the church in the vale; No spot is so dear to my childhood As the little brown church in the vale.

20 COME, YE DISCONSOLATE Come, ye disconsolate, where er ye languish; Come to the mercy seat, fervently kneel; Here bring your wounded hearts, here tell your anguish; Earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot heal. Joy of the comfortless, light of the straying, Hope of the penitent, fadeless and pure! Here speaks the Comforter, tenderly saying, Earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot cure. Here see the Bread of Life; see waters flowing Forth from the throne of God, pure from above; Come to the feast of love come, ever knowing Earth has no sorrow but heaven can remove.

21 DOES JESUS CARE? Does Jesus care when my heart is pained Too deeply for mirth and song; As the burdens press, and the cares distress, And the way grows weary and long? Does Jesus care when I ve tried and failed To resist some temptation strong; When for my deep grief I find no relief, Tho my tears flow all the night long? Does Jesus care when I ve said good by To the dearest on earth to me, And my sad heart aches till it nearly breaks Is it aught to Him? Does He see? CHORUS Oh, yes, He cares; I know He cares, His heart is touched with my grief; When the days are weary, the long nights dreary, I know my Saviour cares.

22 ETERNAL FATHER, STRONG TO SAVE He guided them to their desired haven. Let them give thanks to the Lord. Ps. 107: Eternal Father, strong to save, Whose arm hath bound the restless wave, Who bids the mighty ocean deep Its own appointed limits keep: O hear us when we cry to Thee For those in peril on the sea. O Christ, the Lord of hill and plain O er which our traffic runs amain By mountain pass or valley low: Wherever, Lord, our brethren go, Protect them by Thy guarding hand From every peril on the land. O Spirit, whom the Father sent To spread abroad the firmament: O Wind of heaven, by Thy might Save all who dare the eagle s flight, And keep them by Thy watchful care From every peril in the air. O Trinity of love and power, Our brethren shield in danger s hour; From rock and tempest, fire and foe, Protect them wheresoe er they go; Thus evermore shall rise to Thee Glad praise from air and land and sea.

23 FACE TO FACE WITH CHRIST MY SAVIOUR Face to face with Christ my Saviour, Face to face, what will it be, When with rapture I behold Him, Jesus Christ, who died for me? What rejoicing in His presence, When are banished grief and pain; When the crooked ways are straightened, And the dark things shall be plain! Face to face! Oh, blissful moment! Face to face to see and know; Face to face with my Redeemer, Jesus Christ, who loves me so. CHORUS Face to face shall I behold Him, Far beyond the starry sky; Face to face in all His glory, I shall see Him by and by.

24 FAITH OF OUR FATHERS Faith of our fathers, living still, In spite of dungeon, fire, and sword, O how our hearts beat high with joy Whene er we hear that glorious word. Faith of our fathers, holy faith! We will be true to Thee till death. Our fathers, chained in prisons dark, Were still in heart and conscience free; How sweet would be their children s fate, If they, like them, could die for Thee! Faith of our fathers, holy faith! We will be true to Thee till death. Faith of our fathers, we will love Both friend and foe in all our strife, And preach Thee, too, as love knows how, By kindly words and virtuous life. Faith of our fathers, holy faith! We will be true to Thee till death.

25 FOR THE BEAUTY OF THE EARTH For the beauty of the earth, for the beauty of the skies, For the love which from our birth over and around us lies, Lord of all, to Thee we raise this our sacrifice of praise. For the beauty of each hour of the day and of the night, Hill and vale, and tree and flower, sun and moon, and stars of light, Lord of all, to Thee we raise this our sacrifice of praise. For the joy of ear and eye, for the heart and mind s delight, For the mystic harmony linking sense to sound and sight, Lord of all, to Thee we raise this our sacrifice of praise. For the joy of human love, brother, sister, parent, child, Friends on earth, and friends above, for all gentle thoughts and mild, Lord of all, to Thee we raise this our sacrifice of praise. For each perfect gift of Thine, to our race so freely given, Graces human and divine, flowers of earth, and buds of heaven, Lord of all, to Thee we raise this our sacrifice of praise.

26 GOD BE IN MY HEAD God be in my head, and in my understanding; God be in mine eyes, and in my looking; God be in my mouth, and in my speaking; God be in my heart, and in my thinking; God be at mine end, and at my departing.

27 GOD BE WITH YOU God be with you till we meet again; By His counsels guide, uphold you, With His sheep securely fold you; God be with you till we meet again. God be with you till we meet again; Neath His wings protecting hide you, Daily manna still provide you; God be with you till we meet again. God be with you till we meet again; When life s perils thick confound you, Put His arms unfailing round you; God be with you till we meet again. God be with you till we meet again; Keep love s banner floating o er you, Smite death s threatening wave before you; God be with you till we meet again. CHORUS Till we meet,... till we meet, till we meet at Jesus feet, Till we meet,... till we meet, God be with you till we meet again.

28 GOD WHO MADEST EARTH AND HEAVEN God, that madest earth and heaven, Darkness and light; Who the day for toil hast given, For the rest the night; May Thine angel guards defend us, Slumber sweet Thy mercy send us, Holy dreams and hopes attend us, This livelong night. Guard us waking, guard us sleeping, And, when we die, May we in Thy mighty keeping All peaceful lie: When the last dread call shall wake us, Do not Thou our God forsake us, But to reign in glory take us With Thee on high.

29 GOD WILL TAKE CARE OF YOU Be not dismayed whate er betide, God will take care of you; Beneath His wings of love abide, God will take care of you. Thro days of toil when heart doth fail, God will take care of you; When dangers fierce your path assail, God will take care of you. No matter what may be the test, God will take care of you; Lean, weary one, upon His breast, God will take care of you. CHORUS God will take care of you, thro every day, o er all the way; He will take care of you, God will take care of you.

30 GUIDE ME, O THOU GREAT JEHOVAH Guide me, O Thou great Jehovah, Pilgrim through this barren land; I am weak, but Thou art mighty; Hold me with Thy powerful hand; Bread of heaven, Feed me till I want no more. Open now the crystal fountain, Whence the healing stream doth flow. Let the fire and cloudy pillar Lead me all my journey through; Strong Deliverer, Be Thou still my strength and shield. When I tread the verge of Jordan, Bid my anxious fears subside; Death of death, and hell s destruction, Land me safe on Canaan s side; Songs of praises I will ever give to Thee.

31 HE LEADETH ME He leadeth me! O blessed thought! O words with heavenly comfort fraught! Whate er I do, where er I be, Still tis God s hand that leadeth me. Lord, I would clasp my hand in Thine, Nor ever murmur nor repine; Content, what ever lot I see, Since tis my God that leadeth me. And when my task on earth is done, When, by Thy grace, the victory s won, E en death s cold wave I will not flee, Since God through Jordan leadeth me. CHORUS He leadeth me, He leadeth me, By His own hand He leadeth me; His faithful follower I would be, For by His hand He leadeth me.

32 HOLY HOLY HOLY! Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty! Early in the morning our song shall rise to Thee; Holy, holy, holy; merciful and mighty, God in three Persons, blessed Trinity! Holy, holy, holy! All the saints adore Thee, Casting down their golden crowns around the glassy sea; Cherubim and seraphim falling down before Thee, Which wert, and art and evermore shalt be. Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty! All Thy works shall praise Thy name, in earth and sky and sea; Holy, holy, holy; merciful and mighty, God in three Persons, blessed Trinity!

33 HOW FIRM A FOUNDATION How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord, Is laid for your faith in His excellent word! What more can He say than to you He hath said, To you, who for refuge to Jesus have fled, To you, who for refuge to Jesus have fled. When through fiery trail thy pathway shall lie, My grace all sufficient shall be thy supply; The flame shall not hurt thee; I only design Thy dross to consume, and thy gold to refine, Thy dross to consume, and thy gold to refine.

34 HOW GREAT THOU ART O 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. 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. 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! 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!

35 I COME TO THE GARDEN ALONE I come to the garden alone, While the dew is still on the roses; And the voice I hear, falling on my ear, The Son of God discloses. He speaks, and the sound of His voice Is so sweet the birds hush their singing; And the melody that He gave to me, Within my heart is ringing. I d stay in the garden with Him Though the night around me be falling, But He bids me go; for He loves me so, His voice to me is calling. CHORUS And He walks with me, and He talks with me, And He tells me I am His own, And the joy we share as we tarry there, None other has ever known. Copyright 1912 by Hall Mack Co.

36 I HEARD THE VOICE OF JESUS SAY I heard the voice of Jesus say, Come unto Me and rest; Lay down, thou weary one, lay down, thy head upon My breast I came to Jesus as I was, weary, and worn, and sad; I found in Him a resting place, and He has made me glad. I heard the voice of Jesus say, Behold, I freely give The living water; thirsty one, stoop down, and drink, and live: I came to Jesus, and I drank of that life giving steam; My thirst was quenched, my soul revived, and now I live in Him. I heard the voice of Jesus say, I am this dark world s light Look unto Me, thy morn shall rise, and all thy day be bright: I looked to Jesus, and I found in Him my star, my sun; And in that light of life I ll walk Till travelling days are done.

37 I KNOW THAT MY REDEEMER LIVES I know that my Redeemer lives; O the sweet joy this sentence gives! He lives, He lives, who once was dead; He lives, my everliving Head. He lives to bless me with His love, And still He pleads for me above; He lives to raise me from the grave, And me eternally to save. He lives, my kind, wise, constant Friend; Who still will keep me to the end; He lives, and while He lives I ll sing, Jesus, my Prophet, Priest, and King. He lives my mansion to prepare, And He will bring me safely there; He lives, all glory to His Name, Jesus, unchangeably the same.

38 I LOVE TO TELL THE STORY I love to tell the story of unseen things above, Of Jesus and His glory, of Jesus and His love; I love to tell the story, because I know tis true; It satisfies my longing as nothing else can do. I love to tell the story; for those who know it best Seem hungering and thirsting to hear it like the rest; And when in scenes of glory I sing the new, new song, Twill be the old, old story that I have loved so long. CHORUS I love to tell the story; Twill be my theme in glory To tell the old, old story of Jesus and His love.

39 I NEED THEE EVERY HOUR I need Thee every hour, most gracious Lord; No tender voice like Thine can peace afford. I need Thee every hour, in joy or pain; Come quickly and abide, or life is vain. I need Thee every hour, most Holy One; O make me Thine indeed, Thou blessed Son. CHORUS I need Thee, O I need Thee, every hour I need Thee; O bless me now, my Saviour, I come to Thee.

40 IT IS WELL WITH MY SOUL 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. Though Satan should buffet, tho 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, hasten the day when the faith shall be sight, The clouds be rolled back as a scroll, The trumpet shall resound and the Lord shall descend, Even so it is well with my soul. CHORUS It is well, it is well with my soul, And hath shed His own blood for my soul. Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul! Even so it is well with my soul.

41 JESUS CHRIST IS RISEN TODAY Jesus Christ is risen today, Hallelujah! Our triumphant holy day, Hallelujah! Who did once upon the cross, Hallelujah! Suffer to redeem our loss. Hallelujah! Hymns of praise then let us sing, Hallelujah! Unto Christ, our heavenly King, Hallelujah! Who endured the cross and grave, Hallelujah! Sinners to redeem and save, Hallelujah! But the pains which He endured, Hallelujah! Our salvation have procured; Hallelujah! Now above the sky He s King, Hallelujah! Where the angels ever sing. Hallelujah! Sing we to our God above, Hallelujah! Praise eternal as His love; Hallelujah! Praise Him, all ye heavenly host, Hallelujah! Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Hallelujah!

42 Jesus, keep me near the cross; There a precious fountain Free to all, a healing stream, Flows from Calvary s mountain. JESUS, KEEP ME NEAR THE CROSS 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 I ll watch and wait, Hoping, trusting ever, Till I reach the golden strand, Just beyond the river. CHORUS In the cross, in the cross, be my glory ever, Till my raptured soul shall find, rest beyond the river.

43 JESUS, LOVER OF MY SOUL Jesus, lover of my soul, let me to Thy bosom fly, While the billows near me roll, while the tempest still is high; Hide me, O my Saviour, hide, till the storm of life is past; Safe into the haven guide, O receive my soul at last! Other refuge have I none, hangs my helpless soul on Thee; Leave, O leave me not alone, still support and comfort me; All my trust on Thee is stayed, all my help from Thee I bring; Cover my defenseless head with the shadow of Thy wing. Plenteous grace with Thee is found grace to pardon all my sin; Let the healing streams abound, make and keep me pure within; Thou of life the fountain art, freely let me take of Thee; Spring Thou up within my heart, rise to all eternity.

44 JESUS LOVES ME Jesus loves me! This I know, for the Bible tells me so; Little ones to Him belong; they are weak, but He is strong. 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! He will stay close beside me all the way; Thou hast bled and died for me, I will henceforth live for Thee. CHORUS Yes, Jesus loves me! Yes, Jesus loves me! Yes, Jesus loves me! The Bible tells me so.

45 JESUS STILL LEAD ON Jesus, still lead on, till our rest be won, And, although the way be cheerless, we will follow, calm and fearless; Guide us by Thy hand to our fatherland. If the way be drear, if the foe be near, Let not faithless fears o ertake us, let not faith and hope forsake us; For, through many a foe, to our home we go. When we seek relief from a long felt grief, When oppressed by new temptations, Lord, increase and perfect patience; Show us that bright shore where we weep no more. Jesus, still lead on, till our rest be won; Heavenly Leader, still direct us, Still support, console, protect us, Till we safely stand in our fatherland.

46 JOYFUL, JOYFUL, WE ADORE THEE Joyful, joyful, we adore Thee, God of glory, Lord of love; Hearts unfold like flow rs before Thee, hail Thee as the sun above. Melt the clouds of sin and sadness; drive the dark of doubt away; Giver of immortal gladness, fill us with the light of day! Thou are giving and forgiving, ever blessing, ever blest, Well spring of the joy of living, ocean depth of happy rest! Thou our Father, Christ our Brother, all who live in love are Thine: Teach us how to love each other, lift us to the Joy Divine. Mortals, join the mighty chorus which the morning stars began; Father love is reigning o er us, brother love binds man to man. Ever singing, march we onward, victors in the midst of strife; Joyful music lifts us sunward in the triumph song of life.

47 JUST A CLOSER WALK WITH THEE 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. Thro 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. 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.

48 JUST AS I AM Just as I am without one plea, But that Thy blood, was shed for me, And that Thou bidd st me come to Thee, O Lamb of God, I come! Just as I am poor, wretched, blind, Sight, riches, healing of the mind; Yea, all I need, in Thee to find, O Lamb of God, I come! Just as I am Thou wilt receive, Wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve; Because Thy promise I believe, O Lamb of God, I come! Just as I am Thy love unknown Has broken every barrier down: Now to be Thine, yea, Thine alone, O Lamb of God, I come!

49 LEAD KINDLY LIGHT Lead, kindly Light, amid the encircling gloom, lead Thou me on; The night is dark, and I am far from home; lead Thou me on; Keep Thou my feet; I do not ask to see The distant scene; one step enough for me. I was not ever thus, nor prayed that Thou shouldest lead me on; I loved to choose and see my path; but now lead Thou me on. I loved the garish day, and, spite of fears, Pride ruled my will. Remember not past years. So long Thy power hath blest me, sure it still will lead me on O er moor and fen, o er crag and torrent, till the night is gone; And with the morn those angel faces smile, Which I have loved long since, and lost a while.

50 LORD OF THE DANCE I danced in the morning when the world was begun, And I danced in the moon and the stars and the sun; And I came down from heaven and I danced on the earth At Bethlehem I had my birth. I danced for the scribe and the pharisee, But they would not dance and they wouldn t follow me; I danced for the fishermen, for James and John; They came with me, and the dance went on. I danced on the Sabbath and I cured the lame; The holy people said it was a shame; They whipped and they stripped and they hung me high, And they left me there on a cross to die. I danced on a Friday, when the sky turned black It s hard to dance with the devil on your back; They buried my body, and they thought I d gone But I am the dance and I still go on. They cut me down and I leap up high: I am the life that ll never, never die; I ll live in you if you ll live in me I am the Lord of the Dance, said He. CHORUS Dance then wherever you may be; I am the Lord of the Dance, said He; I ll lead you all wherever you may be, I will lead you all in the dance, said He.

51 MORNING HAS BROKEN Morning has broken, like the first morning, Blackbird has spoken, like the first bird. Praise for the singing, praise for the morning, Praise for them springing fresh from the Word. Sweet the rain s new fall, sunlit from heaven, Like the first dew fall, on the first grass. Praise for the sweetness of the wet garden. Sprung in completeness where His feet pass. Mine is the sunlight, mine is the morning, Born of the one light Eden saw play. Praise with elation, praise ev ry morning, God s recreation of the new day. Morning has broken, like the first morning, Blackbird has spoken, like the first bird. Praise for the singing, praise for the morning, Praise for them springing fresh from the word.

52 My faith looks up to Thee, Thou Lamb of Calvary, Saviour 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. MY FAITH LOOKS UP TO THEE

53 NEAR THE CROSS Jesus, keep me near the cross, there a precious fountain, Free to all, a healing stream, flows from Calvry s mountain. 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. CHORUS In the cross, in the cross, be my glory ever; Till my raptured soul shall find rest beyond the river.

54 NEARER, MY GOD TO THEE Nearer, my God, to Thee, nearer to Thee! E en though it be a cross that raiseth me! Still all my song shall be, nearer, my God to Thee, Nearer, my God, to Thee, nearer to Thee. Though like a wanderer, daylight all gone, Darkness be over me, my rest a stone; Yet in my dreams I d be nearer my God, to Thee, Nearer, my God, to Thee, nearer to Thee. There let the way appear, steps up to heaven; All that Thou sendest me, in mercy given; Angels to beckon me nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer, my God, to Thee, nearer to Thee. Then, with my waking thoughts bright with Thy praise, Out of my stony griefs Bethel I ll raise; So by my woes to be nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer, my God, to Thee, nearer to Thee.

55 NOW THANK WE ALL OUR GOD Now thank we all our God, with heart, and hands, and voices, Who wondrous things hath done, in whom His world rejoices; Who from our mother s arms hath blessed us on our way With countless gifts of love, and still is ours today. O may this bounteous God through all our life be near us, With ever joyful hearts and blessed peace to cheer us; And keep us in His grace, and guide us when perplexed, And free us from all ills in this world and the next. All praise and thanks to God the Father now be given, The Son, and Him who reigns with them in highest heaven, The one eternal God, whom earth and heaven adore; For thus it was, is now, and shall be evermore.

56 O GOD, OUR HELP O God, our help in ages past, our hope for years to come, Our shelter from the stormy blast, and our eternal home! Under the shadow of Thy throne Thy saints have dwelt secure; Sufficient is Thine arm alone, and our defense is sure. A thousand ages, in Thy sight, are like an evening gone; Short as the watch that ends the night, before the rising sun. O God, our help in ages past, our hope for years to come; Be Thou our guide while life shall last, and our eternal home!

57 O LOVE THAT WILT NOT LET ME GO O Love that wilt not let me go, I rest my weary soul in Thee; I give Thee back the life I owe, That in Thine ocean depth its flow May richer, fuller be. O Light that followest all my way, I yield my flickering torch to Thee; My heart restores its borrowed ray, That in Thy sunshine s blaze its day May brighter, fairer be. O Joy that seekest me through pain, I cannot close my heart to Thee; I trace the rainbow through the rain, And feel the promise is not vain That morn shall tearless be. O Cross that liftest up my head, I dare not ask to fly from Thee; I lay in dust life s glory dead, And from the ground there blossoms red Life that shall endless be.

58 O SACRED HEAD O Sacred Head, now wounded, with grief and shame weighed down; Now scornfully surrounded with thorns, Thine only crown; How art Thou pale with anguish, with sore abuse and scorn; How does that visage languish, which once was bright as morn! O Lord of life and glory, what bliss till now was Thine! I read the wondrous story; I joy to call Thee mine. What Thou, my Lord, has suffered, was all for sinners gain; Mine, mine was the transgression, but Thine the deadly pain. What language shall I borrow to thank Thee, dearest Friend, For this Thy dying sorrow, Thy pity without end? O make me Thine for ever; and, should I fainting be, Lord, let me never, never outlive my love to Thee. Be near when I am dying, O show Thy cross to me; And for my succour flying, come, Lord, to set me free: These eyes, new faith receiving, from Thee shall not remove, For he who dies believing, dies safely through Thy love.

59 O THAT WILL BE GLORY When all my labours and trials are o er, And I am safe on that beautiful shore, Just to be near the dear Lord I adore, Will through the ages be glory for me. When, by the gift of His infinite grace, I am accorded in heaven a place, Just to be there and to look on His face, Will through the ages be glory for me. Friends will be there I have loved long ago; Joy like a river around me will flow, Yet, just a smile from my Saviour, I know, Will through the ages be glory for me. CHORUS O that will be glory for me, Glory for me; glory for me; When by His grace I shall look on His face, That will be glory, be glory for me.

60 ONWARD, CHRISTIAN SOLDIERS! 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! At the sign of triumph Satan s host doth flee; On, then, Christian soldiers, on to victory! Hell s foundations quiver at the shout of praise; Brothers, lift your voices, loud your anthems raise. Crowns and thrones have perished, kingdoms ruled and waned, But the church of Jesus constant has remained. Gates of hell can never gainst that church prevail; We have Christ s own promise, that can never fail. Onward, then ye people, join our happy throng, Blend with ours your voices in the triumph song; Glory, praise, and honor unto Christ the King, This through countless ages men and angels sing. CHORUS Onward, Christian soldiers, Marching as to war, With the cross of Jesus going on before.

61 PASS ME NOT, O GENTLE SAVIOUR Pass me not, O gentle Saviour, hear my humble cry; While on others Thou art calling, do not pass me by. Let me at Thy 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 heaven but Thee? CHORUS Saviour, Saviour, hear my humble cry, While on others Thou art calling, do not pass me by.

62 PEACE IN THE VALLEY FOR ME I am tired and weary but I must toil on Till the Lord comes to call me away Where the morning is bright and the Lamb is the light And the night is as fair as the day. There the flow rs will be blooming, the grass will be green, And the skies will be clear and serene, The sun ever shines, giving one endless beam And no clouds there will ever be seen. There the bear will be gentle, the wolf will be tame, And the lion will lay down by the lamb The host from the wild will be lead by a child, I ll be changed from the creature I am. No headaches or heartaches or misunderstands, No confusion or trouble won t be, Nor frowns to defile just a big endless smile, There ll be peace and contentment for me. CHORUS There ll be peace in the valley for me someday, There ll be peace in the valley for me. I pray no more sorrow and sadness or trouble will be, There ll be peace in the valley for me. There ll be peace in the valley for me.

63 PEACE, PERFECT PEACE Peace, perfect peace, in this dark world of sin? The blood of Jesus whispers peace within. Peace, perfect peace, with sorrow surging round? On Jesus bosom naught but calm is found. Peace, perfect peace, with loved ones far away? In Jesus keeping we are safe, and they. Peace, perfect peace, death shadowing us and ours? Jesus has vanquished death and all its powers. It is enough: earth s struggles soon shall cease, And Jesus calls us to heaven s perfect peace.

64 PRAYER OF ST. FRANCIS Make me a channel of your peace. Where there is hatred, let me bring your love. Where there is injury, your pardon, Lord. And where there s doubt, true faith in you. Make me a channel of your peace. Where there s despair in life, let me bring hope. Where there is darkness, only light, And where there s sadness, ever joy. Oh, Master, grant that I may never seek, So much to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand. To be loved, as to love, with all my soul. Make me a channel of your peace. It is in pardoning that we are pardoned. In giving to all men that we receive, And in dying that we re born to eternal life.

65 ROCK OF AGES Rock of Ages, cleft for me, let me hide myself in Thee; Let the water and the blood, from Thy riven side which flowed, Be of sin the double cure, cleanse me from its guilt and power. Not the labors of my hands can fulfill Thy law s demands; Could my zeal no respite know, could my tears forever flow, All for sin could not atone; Thou must save, and Thou alone. Nothing in my hand I bring, simply to Thy cross I cling; Naked, come to Thee for dress, helpless, look to Thee for grace; Foul, I to the fountain fly; wash me, Saviour, or I die. When my pilgrimage I close, victor o er the last of foes, When I soar to worlds unknown, see Thee on Thy judgment throne, Rock of ages, cleft for me, let me hide myself in Thee.

66 SAFE IN THE ARMS OF JESUS Safe in the arms of Jesus, safe on His gentle breast Here by His love o er shaded, sweetly my soul doth rest. Hark! tis the voice of angels, borne in a song to me, Over the fields of glory, over the crystal sea. Safe in the arms of Jesus, safe from corroding care; Safe from the world s temptations, sin cannot harm me there. Free from the blight of sorrow, free from my doubts and fears; Only a few more trials, only a few more tears. Jesus, my heart s dear refuge, Jesus has died for me; Firm on the Rock of Ages, ever my trust shall be. Here let me wait with patience, wait till the night is o er; Wait till I see the morning break on the golden shore. CHORUS Safe in the arms of Jesus, safe on His gentle breast Here by His love o er shaded, sweetly my soul doth rest.

67 SAVIOUR LIKE A SHEPHERD LEAD US Saviour, like a shepherd lead us, much we need Thy tender care; In Thy pleasant pastures feed us; for our use Thy folds prepare: Blessed Jesus! Thou hast bought us, Thine we are. We are Thine: do Thou befriend us; be the Guardian of our way; Keep from ill; from sin defend us; seek us when we go astray: Blessed Jesus! Hear, O hear us, when we pray! Thou hast promised to receive us, poor and sinful though we be; Thou hast mercy to relieve us, grace to cleanse, and power to free: Blessed Jesus! Let us early turn to Thee. Early let us seek Thy favour; early let us do Thy will; Blessed Lord and only Saviour, with Thyself our bosoms fill: Blessed Jesus! Thou hast loved us, love us still.

68 SHALL WE GATHER AT THE RIVER Shall we gather at the river where bright angel feet have trod, With its crystal tide forever flowing by the throne of God? Ere we reach the shining river, lay we every burden down; Grace our spirits will deliver, and provide a robe and crown. Soon we ll reach the shining river, soon our pilgrimage will cease; Soon our happy hearts will quiver with the melody of peace. CHORUS Yes, we ll gather at the river, the beautiful, the beautiful river; Gather with the saints at the river that flows by the throne of God.

69 SOFTLY AND TENDERLY JESUS IS CALLING Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling Calling for you and for me; Patiently Jesus is waiting and watching Watching for you and for me! 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! O 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! CHORUS Come home, come home! ye who are weary, come home! Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling calling, O sinner, come home.

70 SWEET BY AND BY 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. 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 a tribute of praise, For the glorious gift of His love, And the blessings that hallow our days. 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.

71 SWEET HOUR OF PRAYER 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! 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. In my immortal flesh I ll rise To seize the everlasting prize. And shout while passing through the air, Farewell, farewell, sweet hour of prayer!

72 TAKE MY HAND PRECIOUS LORD When my way groweth drear, precious Lord linger near, When my life is almost gone; Hear my cry, hear my call, hold my hand lest I fall; Take my hand, precious Lord, lead me home. When the shadows appear, and the night draweth near, And the day is past and gone; At the river I stand, guide my feet, hold my hand; Take my hand, precious Lord, lead me home. CHORUS Precious Lord, take my hand, lead me on, let me stand, I am tired, I am weak, I am worn; Thru the storm, thru the night, lead me on to the light; Take my hand, precious Lord, lead me home.

73 THE BEAUTIFUL GARDEN OF PRAYER There s a garden where Jesus is waiting, There s a place that is wondrously fair; For it glows with the light of His presence, Tis the beautiful garden of pray r. There s a garden where Jesus is waiting, And I go with my burden and care, Just to learn from His lips words of comfort, In the beautiful garden of pray r. There s a garden where Jesus is waiting, And He bids you to come meet Him there; Just to bow and receive a new blessing, In the beautiful garden of pray r. CHORUS O the beautiful garden, the garden of pray r. O the beautiful garden of pray r. There my Saviour awaits, and He opens the gates To the beautiful garden of pray r.

74 THE HAIL MARY Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee; Blessed art thou amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen

75 THE KING OF LOVE MY SHEPHERD IS The King of love my Shepherd is, Whose goodness faileth never I nothing lack if I am His, And He is mine forever. Where streams of living water flow My ransomed soul He leadeth, And, where the verdant pastures grow, With food celestial feedeth. Perverse and foolish, oft I strayed, But yet in love He sought me, And on His shoulder gently laid, And home, rejoicing, brought me. And so through all the length of days Thy goodness faileth never; Good Shepherd! I would sing Thy praise Within Thy house forever.

76 THE LORD S MY SHEPHERD The Lord s my Shepherd, I ll not want, He makes me down to lie In pastures green; He leadeth me The quiet waters by. My soul He doth restore again; And me to walk doth make Within the paths of righteousness, Even for His own Name s sake. Yea, though I walk through death s dark vale, Yet will I fear none ill; For Thou art with me; and Thy rod And staff me comfort still. My table Thou hast furnished In presence of my foes; My head Thou dost with oil anoint, And my cup overflows. Goodness and mercy all my life Shall surely follow me; And in God s house for evermore My dwelling place shall be.

77 THE LORD S PRAYER (Catholic version of the Lord s Prayer) Our Father, who art in heaven Hallowed be Thy name. Thy Kingdom come; Thy will be done On earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread And forgive us our trespasses As we forgive those who trespass against us; And lead us not into temptation, But deliver us from evil. Amen
