1 2013 General Convention Melodies of Praise Gladness Will Come To Stay 1.Some glowing morn when heaven bends caressing, Earth's darkest vale to cheer; Waking to know and love our Father's blessing, Life will be grandly dear. Gladness will come, hallelujah it is coming, Gladness is on the way; God will unveil the fulness of his mercy, Gladness will come to stay. 2.Some holy hour when broken hearts are crying; Turning from sin away; Mercy will bring a solace for their sighing, Gladness will come to stay. 3.Desolate soul for vanished treasure pining, Wreck'd on a friendless shore; See thro' the gloom the star of promise shining, Gladness will come once more. 4.Fulness of joy will shine away our sorrow, Sighing will flee away; Tears will not mar life's beautiful tomorrow, Gladness will come to stay.

DH312A Let Me Walk with Thee 1 O Master, let me walk with Thee, In lowly paths of service free; Tell me Thy secret; help me bear The strain of toil, the fret of care. 2 Help me the slow of heart to move By some clear, winning word of love; Teach me the wayward feet to stay, And guide them in the homeward way. 3 Teach me Thy patience; still with Thee In closer, dearer company, In work that keeps faith sweet and strong, In trust that triumphs over wrong. 4 In hope that sends a shining ray Far down the future's broadening way; In peace that only Thou can'st give, With Thee, O Master, let me live.

Grant me the cleansing Thy blood doth impart. 3 Nearer, still nearer, Lord, to be Thine, Sin, with its follies I gladly resign; All of its pleasures, pomp and its pride, Give me but Jesus, my Lord crucified. Give me but Jesus, my Lord crucified. 4 Nearer, still nearer, while life shall last, Till safe in glory my anchor is cast; Through endless ages, ever to be, Nearer my Savior, still nearer to Thee. Nearer my Savior, still nearer to Thee.
