Some wondrous holy psalm.

My brow it throbbed with care, -

To take us all above;
We’ll sing redemption’s story,

Until He has us there.

We are waiting and expecting,
Now in faith dear Lord, we call……..
Let the fire fall, let the fire fall,
On Thy promise we depend ;
From the glory of Thy presence
Let the Pentecostal fire descend.

2. As Elijah we would raise the altar

For our testimony clear and true,
Christ the Saviour, loving Healer,
Coming Lord, Baptizer too,
Ever-flowing grace and full salvation
For a ruined race Thy love has planned ;
For this blessed revelation,
For Thy written word we dare to stand.

3. ‘Tis the covenanted promise given,

To as many as the Lord shall call,
To the fathers and their children,
To Thy people, one and all;
So rejoicing in Thy Word unfailing
We draw nigh in faith Thy power to know –
Come, O come, Thou burning Spirit,
Set our hearts with heav’nly fire aglow.

4. With a living coal from off Thy altar,

Touch our lips to swell Thy wondrous praise,
To extol Thee, bless, adore Thee,
And our songs of worship raise ;
Let the cloud of glory now descending ;
Fill our hearts with holy ecstasy,
Come in all Thy glorious fullness,
Blessed Holy Spirit, have Thy way.

30 SWEETER THAN ALL

1. Christ will me His aid afford

Never to fall, never to fall,
While I find my precious Lord,
Sweeter than all, sweeter than all.

Chorus:
Jesus is now and ever will be
 Sweeter than all the world to me,
Since I heard His loving call
Sweeter than all, sweeter than all.

2. I will follow all the way,

Hearing Him call, hearing Him call,
Finding Him from day to day,
Sweeter than all, sweeter than all.

3. Though a vessel I may be,

Broken and small, broken and small,
Yet His blessings fall on me,
Sweeter than all, sweeter than all.

4. When I reach the crystal sea,

Voices will call, voices will call,
But my Saviour’s voice will be,
Sweeter than all, sweeter than all.

31 OLD TIME POWER

They were all with one accord,
When the Holy Ghost descended,
As was promised by our Lord.

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.

With the sound of rushing wind ;
Tongues of fire came down upon them,
As the Lord said He would send.

To our fathers who were true;
This is promised to believers,
And we all may have it too.

To bring the light and glory in,
The revolution now begin,
Send the fire, send the fire, send the fire !

Send the fire, send the fire, send the fire !
The fire will meet our ev’ry need,
Send the fire, send the fire, send the fire !
For strength to ever do the right,
For grace to conquer in the fight,
For pow’r to walk the world in white
Send the fire, send the fire, send the fire !

4. To make our weak hearts strong and brave,

Send the fire, send the fire, send the fire !
To live a dying world to save
Send the fire, send the fire, send the fire !
Oh, see us on Thy altar lay,
Our lives, our all this very day,
To crown the offering now we pray,
Send the fire, send the fire, send the fire !

33 HE ABIDES

1. I’m rejoicing night and day,

For the hand of God in all my life I see,
And the reason of my bliss;

That the Comforter abides with me.

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 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.

3. 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 satisfied my soul,
Since the Comforter abides with me.

4. 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.

34 BE READY WHEN THE BRIDEGROOM COMES

1. Will our lamps be filled and ready,

When the Bridegroom comes ?
And our lights be clear and steady,
When the Bridegroom comes ?
In the night……….that solemn night……….
Will our lamps be burning bright,
When the Bridegroom comes ?

Chorus:
 Oh, be ready ! Oh, be ready !
Oh, be ready when the Bridegroom comes !
Oh, be ready ! Oh, be ready !
Oh, be ready when the Bridegroom comes !

2. Shall we hear a welcome sounding,

When the Bridegroom comes ?
And a shout of joy resounding,
When the Bridegroom comes ?
In the night……….that solemn night……….
Will our lamps be burning bright,
When the Bridegroom comes ?

Till the Bridegroom comes :
Lest there be a separation,
When the Bridegroom comes ?
In the night……….that solemn night……….
Will our lamps be burning bright,
When the Bridegroom comes ?

1. Saviour, more than life to me,

I am clinging, clinging close to Thee :

Keep me ever, ever near Thy side.

Chorus:
Every day, every hour,
Let me feel Thy cleansing power,
May Thy tender love to me
Bring me closer, closer, Lord to Thee.

2. Through this changing world below

Lead me gently, gently as I go :
Trusting Thee, I cannot stray
I can never, never lose my way.

Till this fleeting, fleeting live is o’er,
Till my soul is lost in love,
In a brighter, brighter world above.

Let Thy blessing fall on me.

Glory, glory to His name !

37 IT PASSETH KNOWLEDGE

1. It passeth knowledge, that dear love of Thine,

My Jesus, Saviour ; yet this soul of mine
Would of Thy love, in all its depths and length,
Its height and depth, its everlasting strength.
Know more and more.

2. It passeth telling, that dear love of Thine,

My Jesus, Saviour; yet these lips of mine,
Would fain proclaim to sinners far and near,
A love which can remove all guilty fear,
And love beget.

3. It passeth praises, that dear love of Thine,

My Jesus, Saviour ; yet this heart of mine
Would sing that love, so rich, so full, so free,
Which brings a rebel sinner, such as me,
Nigh unto God.

4. But though I cannot sing, or tell, or know,

The fullness of Thy love, while here below,
My empty vessel I may freely bring :
O Thou, Who art of love the living spring,
My vessel fill.

5. I am an empty vessel – not one thought

Or look of love, I ever to Thee brought :
Yet I may come and come again to Thee,
With this, the empty sinner’s only plea –
Thou lovest me.

6. Oh, fill me, Jesus Saviour, with Thy love !

Lead, lead me to the living fount above :
Thither may I, in simple faith, draw nigh,
And never to another fountain fly,
But unto Thee.

7. And when my Jesus, face to face, I see,

When at His lofty throne I bow the knee,
Then of His love in all its breadth and length,
Its height and depth, its everlasting strength,
My soul shall sing.

38 JESUS IS COMING SOON

1. The morning breaks, ‘tis bright and clear,

The shadows of the night are flying swift away;
A stirring cry salutes the ear;
Jesus is coming soon.

Chorus:
The song of jubilee,
It sweeps o’er land and sea,
With thousand voices strong
The chorus speeds along-
One word of hope and cheer :
The kingdom now is near,
Jesus is coming soon.

2. By form and creed are millions bound,

But God hath sent the Word to loose the iron band –
Deliv’rance dawns with this glad sound :
Jesus is coming soon.

3. Salvation nears – the saints arise,

And from the sleep of death the slumb’ring nations wake;
We too shall mount the starry skies,
Jesus is coming soon.

In glory then His saints will reign,
Jesus is coming soon.

39 NONE BUT CHRIST

1. O Christ, in Thee my soul hath found,

And found in Thee alone,
The peace, the joy I sought so long;
The bliss till now unknown.

Chorus:
Now none but Christ can satisfy,
None other name for me,
There’s love, and live, and lasting joy,
Lord Jesus, found in Thee.

2. I signed for rest and happiness,

I yearned for them, not Thee,
But while I passed my Saviour by,
His love laid hold on me.

3. I tried the broken cisterns, Lord,

But ah !the waters failed :
E’en as I stooped to drink they ‘d fled
And mocked me as I wailed.

4. The pleasures lost I sadly mourned,

But never wept for Thee,
Till grace the sightless eyes received,
Thy loveliness to see.

40 ADORATION

He keeps me ever true,
Ever, ever,
He keeps me ever true.

Chorus:
I never will doubt my Lord anymore
I never will doubt His love ;
Never, never,
I never will doubt His love

2. He gives me all I ask and think –

He every need supplies :
Every, every
He every need supplies.

3. He cast my sins behind His back,

He all my sins, forgave :
All sing, all sins,
He all my sins, forgave.

4. He gives me power to hate all sin –

He gives me power all day :
Power, power,
He gives me power all day.
5. What a wondrous God I have –
What a wondrous love :
Wonder, wonder,
What a wondrous love !

41 I’M GOING THROUGH

1. Lord, I have started to walk in the light,

That shines on my pathway so clearly, so bright !
I’ve bade the world and its follies adieu,
And now with my Saviour I mean to go through.

Chorus:
I’m going through, I’m going through,
I’ll pay the price, whatever others do ;
I’ll take the way with the Lord’s despised few
I’m going through , Jesus I’m going through.

2. Many once started to run in this race,

But with our Redeemer they could not keep pace :
Others accepted because it was new
But not many seem bound to go through.

3. Let me but follow my Lord all alone,

And have for my pillow, like Jacob, a stone,
Rather than vain worldly pleasures pursue,
Than turn from this pathway and fail to go through.

4. Come then, my brethren, and walk in this way,

That leads to the Kingdom of eternal day ;
Turn from your idols and join with the few,
Start in with your Saviour, and keep going through.
42 MORE LOVE TO THEE

1. More love to Thee, O Christ,

More love to Thee !
Hear Thou the prayer I make,
On bended knee ;
This is my earnest plea ;
More love, O Christ, to Thee,
More love to Thee,
More love to Thee !

2. Once earthly joy I craved,

Sought peace and rest;
Now Thee alone I seek,
Give what is best ;
This all my prayer shall be ;
More love, O Christ, to Thee,
More love to Thee,
More love to Thee !

3. Then shall my latest breath

Whisper Thy praise ;
This be the parting cry
My heart shall raise ;
This still its prayer shall be ;
More love, O Christ, to Thee,
More love to Thee,
More love to Thee !

Rich above all earthly good
Where the live of sinning ceases,
Where the spirit comes in flood.

In the race that has no stop,
In Thy footsteps keep me treading,
Give me strength to reach the top.

Keep me where the fire refines,
Where the breath of God is sweeter,
Where the brightest glory shines.

44 MY REDEEMER LIVETH

1. O, my Redeemer what a Friend Thou art to me

O, what a refuge I have found in Thee :
When the way was dreary, and my heart was sore depressed,
‘Twas Thy voice that lulled me to a calm sweet rest.
Chorus:
Nearer, draw nearer, till my soul is lost in Thee
Nearer, draw nearer, blessed Lord to me !

2. When in their beauty, stars unveil their silver light

Then, O my Saviour, give me songs at night
Songs of yonder mansions, where the dear ones gone before,
Sing Thy praise for ever on that peaceful shore.

When in the silence, I shall hear Thy call,
In Thine arms, reposing, let me breathe my life away
And awake triumphant in eternal day.

Waves of gladness o’er my spirit roll ;

Wondrous glory, glory all along the way,
Heaven’s holiest blessings o’er my spirit roll
There is glory, glory in my soul.

2. As we walk together in the pilgrim way

In a fellowship of love divine,
Faith and hope grow brighter with each new-born day ;
There is glory in this soul of mine !
3. Peace that passeth telling now my heart doth know,
And my life is full of joy and song;
Heaven’s purest pleasures thrill me as I go,
And my soul is happy all day long.

4. I can rest securely on His faithful Word,

As I journey in the narrow way,
And be happy in the love of my dear Lord,
Who with glory fills my soul each day.

Over there…..over there, over there :

Who before us the journey have trod,
Of the songs that they breathe on the air,
In their home, in the palace of God.

There my kindred and friends are at rest;
Then away from my sorrow and care,
Let me fly to the land of the blest.

For the end of my journey I see ;
Many dear to my heart over there,
Are watching and waiting for me.

Hallelu…jah !Hallelu….jah !
I am living in the presence of the King.

Hallelujah to the Lamb !
By the cleansing of the blood,
O, glory be to God !
By the Spirit’s power and light,
I am living day and night,
In the holiest place so bright,
Hallelujah to the Lamb !
3. I’m within the holiest pale,
Hallelujah to the Lamb !
I have passed the inner veil,
O, glory be to God !
I am sanctified to God
By the power of the blood :

And be closer drawn to Thee,

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

And my will be lost in Thine.

That before Thy throne I spend,
When I kneel in prayer, and with Thee my God,
I commune as friend with friend.

There are heights of joy that I may not reach
Till I rest in peace with Thee.

That calls me from a world of care,

And wait for thee, sweet hour of pray’r

Above earth’s turmoil peace is found
By those who dwell on higher ground.

With grateful heart from higher ground.

Come now and within me a new heart create;
To those who have sought Thee, Thou never said’st No,

58 LORD, I BELIEVE

1. When sorrow and storms are besetting my track,

And satan is whispríng, “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 !
Saviour, 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 !

2. How easy when sailing the sea in a calm,

To trust in the strength of Jehovah’s greatest arm;
But somehow I find when the waves swamp the boat,
It takes some believing to keep things afloat !

3. I’ll stand to the end”, I have heard people say,

I’ll fight till I die. And will neér run away,”
But when by temptation so fiercly assailed,
They left off believing, and terribly failed.

4. 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.

That faith is not feeling, and trust is not trace;
And when all around us seems dark as the night,
We’ll keep on believing, and win in the fight.

Where He sends we will go,
Never fear, only trust and oney.

To cast her pride away,
With girded loins and burning lamps,

They ask for the judgements on the earth.

And in the broad highway,
And call the maim’d, the halt and blind,
To be ready for the breaking of the day.

All may change, but Jesus never,
Glory to His name (3 times)
All may change, but Jesus never, glory to His name.

Sinners come and at His foot-stool, penitently bow;
He Who said, Ï’ll not condemn thee, go and sin no more”.
Speaks to thee that word of pardon, as in days of yore.

3. Oft on earth, He healed the suff’rer by His might 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.

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.

And bear my soul to that heav’nly Home,

1. Fade, fade each earthly joy, Jesus is mine !

Break every worldly tie, Jesus is mine !
Dark is the wilderness, earth has no resting place,
Jesus alone can bless; Jesus is mine !

Here would I ever stay, Jesus is mine !
Perishing things of clay, born but for one brief day,
Pass from my heart away, Jesus is mine !

Lost in this dawning light, Jesus is mine !
All that my soul has tried, left but a dismal void,
Jesus has satisfied, Jesus is mine !

Welcome eternity, Jesus is mine !
Welcome, O loved and blest, welcome sweet scenes of rest,
Welcome, my Saviour’s breast, Jesus is mine !

Far away in the Kingdom of God;
I have read how its walls are of jasper;
How its streets are all golden and broad.

Chorus:
Oh, what glory awaits me up there,
In that beautiful City of rest,
I shall see the great King in His beauty
In that glorified Land of the blest.

Clear as crystal and fair to behold;
There no sin ever enters to sever,
The inhabitants never grow old.

3. There are white robes reserved for the righteous,

And bright crowns which the glorified wear;
We’ll be changed to His image supernal,
And His glory eternally share.

4. There we’ll sing the new song of the righteous,

As we gather around the throne;
Oh, the Son will rejoice with the Father,
And His Bride, He’ll eternally own.

90 IF CHRIST SHOULD COME TO-NIGHT ?

1. If our Lord should come to-night,

With the bright angelic host,
Would He find you in His vineyard,
Every servant at his post ?
Thro’ the precious, cleansing blood,
Are your garments clean and white,
Are you dwelling in the light,
Should our Lord appear to-night ?

Chorus:
Are you watching, are you waiting,
In the raiment pure and white ?
Would you joy at His appearing,
If our Lord should come to-night ?

2. If our Lord should come to-night,

Come as King and Judge of all;
Are there any here assembled
Who would tremble at His call ?
Is there one, Oh, is there one,
Far from Jesus and the light,
Unrepentant, lost, undone,
If the Judge should come to-night ?

3. Jesus, King and Judge will come,

‘Tis recorded in His book;
He will bid you stand before Him,
Not a soul will He overlook !
Are you ready everyone ?
Are you in the raiment white ?
If the Judge of all mankind
Should appear this very night ?

What joy the glorious hope affords,
That soon – O, wondrous truth sublime !
He shall reign, King of Kings, and Lord of lords.

With joy we welcome His return……ing,
It may be morn, it may be night or noon –
We know He’s coming soon……..

Or painted on the starlit sky,
God’s faithful witnesses – declare,
That the coming of the Saviour draweth nigh.

3. The dead in Christ who ‘neath us lie,

In countless numbers, all shall rise,
When thro’ the portals of the sky
He shall come to prepare our paradise.

Caught up, shall meet our faithful Lord,
This hope we cherish not in vain,
But we comfort one another by this word.

More abundant life, the Comforter has come,

Spread it far and wide, the Comforter has come.

Chorus:
Comforter divine, blessed Holy Ghost,
Promise of the Father, fill this waiting host;
Overcoming sin, purity within,
Joy to overflowing – this is Pentecost.

Thirsting for the Spirit all with one accord;
Tongues of fire descended, we shall eér remember;
Power of Pentecost that brought the glory down.

Send the latter rain, Oh !fill us now we pray,
Purifying Fire now purge us from all leaven,
Comforter divine, descend on us to-day.

All desires for worldly pleasures fade away;
Fleshly lust and anger crucified within us,
Power to overcome, He gives us from that day.

Whate'er Thy counsel determines in me,

Freely surrendered Thine own to fulfill,
Have Thine own way, Lord – this is my plea,
Thou shalt be glorified living thro’ me.

Longing the light of Thy truth to impart;
Willing to publish near or afar,
Wonders Thy pow’r hath wrought – mighty they are.

Grace for each trial and strength for each task;
Thy will be done, Lord, Thou art my trust;
With Thee to lead the way, triumph I must.

Gladly I answer, resigning my all,
Make me a blessing, teach me to pray,
Willing I’ll ever be day after day.

6. Thy will be done, Lord ! Thy will, not mine :

Teach me to trust, Lord, all I resign,
Make me a channel of blessing to all,
Lord, I am willing to answer Thy call.

94 HAVE YOU COUNTED THE COST ?

1. While the great door if His grace is open to you,
Ere the depth of His love you exhaust;
Won’t you come and be healed, won’t you whisper yield ?
I am willing; I have counted the cost.

Chorus:
Have you counted the cost, if your soul should be lost,
Tho’ you gain the whole world for your own ?
Even now it may be that the line you have crossed :
Have you counted ? Have you counted the cost ?

2. You may barter your hope of eternity’s morn,

For a moment of joy at the most :
For a glitter of sin, and the things it will win :
Have you counted ? Have you counted the cost ?

3. Everlasting sorrow by rejecting our Lord,

Who laid down His dear life or the lost,
While you hurry along with pleasure-mad throng :
Have you counted ? Have you counted the cost ?

4. The forgiveness of God leadeth you to repent,

Do not His gentle pleading reject :
Everlasting the life, won’t you gladly accept ?
You’ll be happy, you have counted the cost.

5. The unsearchable riches in heaven for you;

And to reign with the Lamb on the throne,
Won’t you trust in His grace ? He is longing for you
Sinner, O say I have counted the cost”

When sin on Him was laid;
Love that surpasses human thought,
Has full redemption bought.

Chorus:
Lest I forget Gethsemane,
Lest I forget Thy agony,
Lest I forget Thy love for me,
Lead me to Calvary.

2. His soul an offering for my sin,

No violence found in Him;
Stricken for all my transgressions,
The great Jehovah’s Son.

He wore the crown of thorns:
His visage marred in every part,
And sorrow smote His heart.

The Saviour intercedes,
“Pardon, O Lord, their ignorance:
What mortal man concedes “.

Count your blessings, name them one by one,
Count your blessings, see what God hath done :
Count your blessings, name them one by one,
And it will surprise you what the Lord hath done.

Does the cross seem heavy you are called to bear ?
Count your blessings, every doubt will fly,
And you will be singing as the days go by.

3. When you look at others with their land and gold,

Think that Christ has promised you His wealth untold,
Count your many blessings, money cannot buy,
Your reward in heaven, not your home of high.

Do not be discouraged, God is over all;
Count your many blessings, angels will attend,
Help and comfort give you to your journey’s end.

99 WHEN I SURVEY THE WONDROUS CROSS

1. When I survey the wondrous cross

On which the Price of glory died,
My richest gain I count but loss,
And pour contempt on all my pride.

2. Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast,

Save in the death of Christ, my Lord,
All the vain things that charm me most,
I sacrifice them to His blood.
3. See, from His head, His hands, His feet,
Sorrow and love flow mingled down;
Did e'er such love and sorrow meet,
Or horns compose so rich a crown ?

That were an offering far too small;
Love so amazing, so divine,
Demands my soul, my live, my all.

we see those mansions fair;
And the patriarchs and prophets and
the loved ones gathered there;
We shall see His beauty, and behold the Land that is afar,
When our Jesus shall come back to earth again.

4. Oh ! be ready for His coming, soon you’ll hear

the midnight cry,
If your consecration slackens then the Lord
will pass you by,
Oh ! The door forever will be closed, no more to enter in.
When our Jesus shall come back to earth again.

5. Where the glory of our God doth shine, in City, crystal fair,
Sin and sorrow, pain and sickness, they can
never enter there,
We shall have the marriage supper in the palace of the King,
And with Jesus shall come back to earth again.

Tho’ hated, rejected, unknown,
No longer shall suffer the world’s scorn and shame,

And sit with Him heirs on His throne,
While those who once ridiculed weep in despair,
When Jesus returns for His own.

The days when we suffered alone,
For God’s loving hand wipes away ev’ry tear,
When Jesus returns for His own.

Nor ever our trials bemoan,
But render Him praise, and rejoice full of faith,
That we may be counted His own.

Come with thy sins, at His feet lowly bow;
Come, and no longer delay !

They who believe on His name shall rejoice,
Quickly arise and away !

119 GLORIOUS FREEDOM

Chained like a slave I struggled in vain,
But I received a freedom so glorious,
When Jesus broke my fetters in twain.
Chorus:
I have found freedom, wonderful freedom,
No more in chains of sin I repine,
Jesus my glorious Emancipator,
Eternal glory ever is mine.

2. Freedom from all carnal affections,

Freedom from envy, hatred and strife,
Freedom from vain and worthy ambitions,
Freedom from all that saddened my life.

3. Freedom from pride and vain conversation,

Freedom from fame and lusting for gold,
Freedom from evil temper and badness,
Glorious freedom, rapture untold.

Freedom from care and from all its pain;
Freedom in Christ my blessed Redeemer,
He Who was dead now liveth again.

I never will cease to praise Him.

I never will cease to praise Him;
I could not such a Friend reject,
I never will cease to praise Him.

I never will cease to praise Him;
Just now I feel His cleansing power,
I never will cease to praise Him.

I never will cease to praise Him;
And when to that bright world I go,
I never will cease to praise Him.

121 WONDROUS GRACE

1. In tenderness He sought me,

Weary and sick with sin,
And on His shoulders brought me,
Back to His fold again,
While angels in His presence sang,
Until the courts of heaven rang.
Chorus:
Oh, the love that sought me !
Oh, the blood that bought me !
Oh, the grace that brought me to the fold,
Wondrous grace that brought me to the fold.

2. He washed the bleeding sin wounds,

And poured in oil and wine;
He whispered to assure me;
"I’ve found thee, thou art Mine”.
I never heard a sweeter voice,
It made my aching heart rejoice !

3. He pointed to the nailprints,

For me His blood was shed;
A mocking crown so thorny
Was placed upon His head;
I wondered what He saw in me
To suffer such deep agony.

4. I’m sitting in His presence,

The sunshine of His face,
While with adoring wonder,
His blessing I retrace,
It seems as if eternal days
Are far too short to sound His praise.

5. So while the hours are passing,

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

122 I’VE TOUCHED THE HEM OF HIS GARMENT

1. In faith she touched the hem of His garment,

As to His side she stole,
Amid the crowd that gathered around Him,
And straightway she was whole.

I’ve touch’d the hem of His garment.
And now I too am free;
His healing pow’r this very hour,
Gives life and health to me.

She knew her Lord had come,
She felt from Him virtue had healed her,
The might deed was done.

Thy faith hath made thee whole”,
And peace which passeth understanding,
With gladness filled her soul.

123 ETERNAL LIFE

Many a spirit is grieving,
Who in the joy of the Lord might share
Life everlasting receiving.

Life !life !eternal life !
Jesus alone is the Giver,
Life !life !abundant life !
Glory to Jesus for ever !

2. Burdened one, why will you longer bear,

Sorrows from which He releases ?
Open your heart, and rejoicing share
Life “more abundant”in Jesus.

Flooding the vale with a river;
So, from the hill of the Cross, there flow’s,
Life “more abundant” for ever.

Oh, for a mighty revival !
Oh, for a sanctified, fearless band,
Ready to hail its arrival !

124 HE RESCUED ME

1. I was lost in a rocky and desolate land,

Struggling bravely to reach the true goal;
Not a covert from tempest, a shelter from storm;
Christ reached out to rescue my soul.

Chorus:
He reached out to rescue my soul;
He reached out to rescue my soul;
From Golgotha’s hill, oér desert and sea,
 He reached out to rescue my soul.

2. And my eyes were so blinded, I could not then see,

In a dry land no shadow for me;
I was empty and hungry, both thirsty and faint,
Christ reached out to replenish me.

3. I, a vile person, practicing fraudulently,

Lying words to devise, to destroy;
When the needy spoke rightly, suppressed their right cause,
Christ reached out to purge the alloy.

4. I was careless in speech and unguarded in word,

Trembling, restless, I came to the Lord;
When all my resources and counsels were oér,
Christ reached out and me He restored.

5. I was vain in confronting to the things of this world,

Knowing not of the judgement of God;
I had pleasure in those who were “worthy of death”
To hades He reached out, my Lord.

125 IF JESUS GOES WITH ME

1. It may be in the valley, where countless dangers hide;

It may be in the sunshine that, I, in peace, abide;
But this one thing, I know – if it be dark or fair,
If Jesus is with me, I’ll go anywhere.

Chorus:
If Jesus goes with me, I’ll go – anywhere,
‘Tis Heaven to me, where ér I may be, If He is there;’
 I count it a privilege here, His cross to bear,
When Jesus goes with me, I’ll go – anywhere.

2. It may be I must carry the blessed word of life

Across the burning deserts to those in sinful strife;
And tho’ it be my lot to shine for Jesus there,
If Jesus is with me, I’ll go anywhere.

3. But if it be my portion to bear my cross at home,

While others bear their burdens beyond the billow’s foam,
I’ll prove my faith in Him, confess His judgement fair,
And, if He stays with me, I’ll stay anywhere.

4. It is not mine to question the judgements of the Lord,

It is but mine to follow the leading of His Word;
But if to go or stay, or whether here or there,
I’ll be with my Saviour, content anywhere.

126 MOUNT ZION

1. On the holy hill of Zion,

There behold the Lamb of God;
Stands with Him a host found worthy,
True bondservants of our God.

Chorus:
Oh, to be with Christ on Zion,
Where transcendent glories shine,
Called and chosen by the Saviour,
Privilege so great divine.

2. Mercy sounds like harps on Zion,

Fellowship with God is sweet,
Seed once sown with tears now precious,
Seated at His lowly feet !

3. None could learn that song of Zion,

But the saints of highest heav’n,
In the race, by steadfast courage,
Won the prize by Jesus giv’n.

4. First fruits of the saved on Zion,

What a choice of priceless worth,
They before the throne found blameless,
By their faithfulness and birth.

5. Virgins undefiled on Zion,

All the ancients stands amazed,
They who followed Him in person,
Have the Father’s name engraved.

Serving God, behold His face;
Seraphs hide with wings to worship,
Who is worthy of that place ?

We will never falter, we will never faint,
Through His mighty power we shall demonstrate
Wondrous works of God so great.

 Follow, follow in His steps alone,
Follow, follow as the saints have gone,
Follow, follow, never look to man,
We shall surely reach the Promised Land.

Has no other master, serves with one accord,
Grows to Him in fullness, speaking truth in love,
She’s “The house of God” above.

3. There is only one God, Mediator one,

He’s the Man Child Jesus – Father’s only Son,
Now before the throne He intercession makes,
That, for every mortal’s sake.

4. There is only one faith and immersion one;

Those forsaking all things to the standard come,
Of apostles’ doctrine, servants of our God,
Here’s the path the Master trod.

5. We are come to Zion, this is our heavenly call,

To Jerusalem free, mother of us all,
‘Tis a festal gath’ring written up in Heaven,
Lo, within the veil now riv’n.

6. Church, the Bride of Jesus glorious within,

Neither spot nor wrinkle offered unto Him,
Christ has loved the Church and suffered for her,
To present as perfect heir.

128 THE NARROW WAY TO GLORY

1. Oh, I dearly love to ponder when the sun is sinking low,
And I’m pressing on my journey through this world below,
Of a blessed time that’s coming when my feet no more shall roam,
Here the way is often thorny, but the road leads home.

Chorus:
It’s a narrow way, it’s a narrow way,
It is often rough and thorny but this way leads home;
And my Saviour’s gone before me,
He has given His Word to cheer me;
Yes, a narrow way to glory, but this way leads home.

2. When I climb up hills of trial, when the tempest wild doth sweep,
And descend affliction’s valley with its shadows deep,
I can hear Him sweetly saying Äll this weary path I’ve gone”,
Yes, I know the way is thorny, but the road leads home.

3. When my friends forsake and leave me, in the world I’m left alone,
What a bliss to know He’s with me, all to Him I owe;
And the shame despising ever, I’ll the race with patience run,
For I’ll look to Him the Author till the prize is won.

4. So I’ll bear the cross for Jesus for His love constraineth me,
I will follow in His footsteps till His face I see,
In my Father’s house of mansions I shall never sign or moan,
So I sing along the journey for the road leads home.

5. When in Heaven I meet my Saviour and my trials are oér and gone,
I shall neér return to falter, to a world of wrong,
But with saints in light be reigning, in a land of perfect peace,
Where the life is eér supernal on the crystal sea.
129 THE LAMB’S BOOK OF LIFE

1. In the kingdom of God where the saints dwell in light,

There the Father’s celestial, perfect order abides,
From the bondage redeemed by the pow’r of God’s might,
And this earth then shall flourish, back to Eden’s full tide.

Chorus:
In the Lamb’s book of life,
In the Lamb’s book of life,

In the Lamb’s book of life.

With rewards for His Bride,

In the Lamb’s book of life.

To the saints who are perfect by the truth sanctified,
Them the angels shall serve, midst the glories of Heaven.
When on earth shall be plenty, nations all satisfied.

And the moon be confounded when Jehovah shall reign,
And with Him are the saints, chosen, faithful and named,
Of the first resurrection, these are worthy of gain.

"I am sick and in sorrow”- all the tears wiped away,
Then shall God be with men, everlasting this way –
All for Him that oér cometh, in this meek, lowly way.

And Zion the ransomed sweetly sing forth His praise;
After thousand years’ reign, He shall satan destroy,
Then shall all in subjection serve the God of all grace.

130 O, TO BE THINE

No matter what befalls me, draw me nearer,
The humblest is the greatest there with Thee.

O, to be Thine is joy unspeakable,
Thy heart was rent for me, my Lord, on Calvary,
A living fountain of salvation free.

From Heaven’s portals came the Lord divine,
To hell He reached for captives to deliver,
Wonderful Saviour, lowly and sublime.

And night of death doth fast approach t’ward me;
When I am Thine my heart with rest and strengthen;
Enlighten me with matchless love divine.

4. O, to be Thine in glory, home celestial,

That be so thrilling, it can ne’er be told,
With harps on Zion, I’ll sing the song eternal,
All earthly gain be strange in that dear land.
5. Now nothing in this world exalts me so high,
Called to Thy kingdom, kings and priests with Thee;
Be Thou my song when evil powers draw nigh,
I thank Thee, Lord, for Thou art wholly mine.

All knees to Him shall bow, and every tongue of Him confess,
Through Him alone, to God, we erring creatures find access.

3. He endured the cross despising shame, obedient unto death,

A smoking flax he did not quench; God’s love made known to earth;
As sheep before the shearers dumb, as lamb to slaughter brought,
He opened not His mouth to speak, no mercy He besought.

4. When taken to the judgement hall, no fault in Him was found,

They bow before the scarlet robe, with questions to confound,
A reed as scepter in His hand, blind-folded lead Him on,

In ages to come to God’s knowledge attain,
Working out His perfect scheme.

Reigning over nations saved,
Like shepherds, the law they shall ever define,
From the city golden paved.

Jerusalem there doth the Bride apprehend,
God from Zion doth preside.

Ushers the Bridegroom to us again,

A precious thought to every saint,
We’ve waited long for that bright morn,
And neér did faint.

When God is King, then blissful mirth,
The saints with Him as kings and priests,
Return to earth.

4. In days of yore the saints foretold,

That God would dwell with mortal men,
The earth restored, as Eden was,
For sons of men.

No maimed are there, no blind, no dumb,
When lamb and wolf with leopard lie,
They Kingdom come.

139 LET ALL THE PEOPLE PRAISE THEE

To Him give thanks.

The half could ne’er be told;
Of love so rich, so full and free,
Of blessings manifold;
Of grace that faileth never;
Peace flowing as a river,
From God the glorious Giver,
To Him give thanks.

140 THY LOVE ENCHANTETH ME

1. The shadow of Thy wings is nigh,

Thou art my Shepherd, rod and staff,
Thou leadest me with watchful eye,
Thou died on my behalf.

Chorus:
Thy love enchanteth me;
Thy love enchanteth me;
I rest content for Thee I know,
Thy love enchanteth me.

2. The comfort of Thy dying love,

Surpasseth that of mortal man,
Its length, the breadth and depth and height,
Thy saints alone can span.

Misunderstood by friends held dear,
Thy Word will guide and bear me through,
Love casteth out all fear.

And keeps me sealed upon Thy heart;
I’m not ashamed of pilgrim life,
E'en though my life depart.

Bleeding Lamb of Calvary,
Pouring out Thy life Thou gavest
Everything most dear to Thee.

Glory of His bondservants declare,
There the wall is of jasper, His martyrs portray,

Gushing river of life overflowing there,
And all manner of fruits for His wisdom to share,

From the height of Mount Zion thy reign,
From redemption’s first fruits a new song doth resound;

For the glory of God lightens there;
In the Lambs book of life those who enter are there;’

Now abide, fortify;

Through Spirit’s pow’r His counsels preach,
What peace and joy He doth dispose.

For Thee a people set apart.

For by it the Saints of old obtained a good report,
And the faith of Christ in you all needs it will support.

Chorus:
Faith without a doubt, there’s faith without a doubt,
Faith without a doubt gives strength for every need;
When assailed by trials great, the foe you’ll put to rout,
Faith without a doubt, you claim, you surely will succeed.
2. Righteousness which is by faith, a boon to all mankind,
Makes the world a pilgrim home, as strangers on the earth,
God is not ashamed to own them as His precious find,
Sinful pleasures for a season give to them no mirth.

3. The reproach of Christ is greater than this world of gain;

For they seek a better country, heav’nly one afar,
Having judged Him faithful they do always strength regain,
Fearing not the wrath of man they visioned God afar.

4. They were slain and sawn asunder and were tempted sore,
In skins of goats and sheep they wandered; destitute were they;
In the mountains and in dens their shelter and their store,
Though the world of them unworthy, yet their faith display.

5. Quenched the violence of the fire, escaped the edge of sword;

Stopped the mouths of lions, out of weakness were made strong,
Raised the dead to life again, O blessed this record,
For a better resurrection others suffered wrong.

146 THIS GREAT HIGH CALLING

1. How sweet are the tidings that greet the pilgrim’s ear,
As he wanders an exile from home,
For he knows that his King from the Heav’n shall appear,
To gather all those who overcome.

Chorus:
How great a calling, this great high calling,
Eye hath not seen its treasures, ear hath not its greatness heard,
What God hath stored for pilgrims, not moth not rust corroding,
 There is a lasting Kingdom that never shall be marred.

2. The grave will destroy no more pilgrim’s hope,

As he labours for sinners to save,
For he knows that on earth, wide the field of his scope,
While he looks for the King Who forgave.

3. The world not his gain that robs the vision great,
As he spends and is spent for the Lord,
For he looks not to man that his cause vindicate,
While he works with the Saints in one accord.

4. He seeks not his own, be it comfort, selfish, gain,

For the Lord he is seeking to please,
And his thoughts are afar, in His Kingdom to reign,
What he sows now the Lord will increase.

5. Blessed hope of the saint anchored now within the veil,

Gives sweet peace and a rest in his heart,
In the trials there’s hope, he will neér fear or fail,
While he waits for the trumpet to blast.

147 SPEAK, LORD

1. O Master, speak, appease my soul with music of Thy voice,

Speak Thou in stillness of the night with comfort and advice.

Glory these in various stages, show the chosen sons of Zion.

Chorus:
Take me to the heights of Zion,
Take me where no night is known,
There’s my home in restful Zion,
Trials make me more here own.

2. Paved with gold the street for faithful, for the saints from every land,
Strongly guarded city peaceful, built by God at His command.
Garnished with the jewels precious, her foundations are so rare,
Those who bore the burden tell us, them the precious stones declare.

3. Inward strength for reaching mountain, tireless feet have dared to climb,
Lo, their voices like gushing fountain, mercy sounds like harps sublime,
God has chosen thee, O Zion, glorious things are said of Thee,
Hid in mind of God was Zion, which the saints do now foresee.

4. There the tree of life for victors, luscious fruit of every kind,
From the throne of God a river to invigorate the mind,
God of all creation reigneth, Father, Son and Holy Ghost,
Blessed is the man that dwelleth with the unseen God of hosts.

Silently speaks the Lord of life.

The price He paid was death,

A pending judgement great,

The only Potentate.

That Christ liveth in me.

2. Through grace accepted, drawn to Thee,

Beloved of my soul,

To me hath He revealed,

With confidence enshrined,
Enriched with glory, treasures rare,

Through door of grace is only way,
To reign with God eternally.

Cease to beg and plead – but hallelujahs raise,
Then you’ll rise on wings of praise.

If you rise and soar in the sunlight rays,
Making use of both the wings of prayer and praise,
Sure to mount like eagles, higher of prayer and praise,
Things look different when you fly.

Drooping prayers they pray, but rarely shout and sing,
Round and round these earth bound birds go in a maze,
Stretching not the wings of praise.

Like the beaten brass or cymbal so they sound;
They too treat a circle and will never share,
Larger life of praise and prayer.

Stand a hundred hindrances that will dismay;
There you fret and fuss and flurry; go up high;
Vision changes as you fly !

We shall have the best revivals these last days !
Glide aloft and spread the message glad and strong,
Angels cannot spread this song.

157 THE GREAT HIDING PLACE

Beneath His wings, beneath His wings;

When hearts grow cold and far from Him,
Life is vain, needing rest,
There is a hiding place within,
“Neath His wings, on Saviour’s breast.

A secret place, a secret place;
Surely drawn by love’s strong cord,,
Find dwelling place, safe dwelling place.
Abiding eér He satisfied,
Known to Him is my name,
He’ll answer me and hear my cries,
Trusting Him, in His dear name.

3. He’s a rock in weary land,

A shadow great, a shadow great;
Misspent life on sinking sand,
Finds shadow great, a shadow great;
Though empty now, the sin-sick soul;
Helpless, poor, aching breast,
Now captives bound, He frees them all,
Blessed Rock, my home and nest.

4. He’s the arm, God’s arm of strength,

He’ll bear me through, He’ll bear me through;
He was poor to be my wealth,
He’ll bear me through, He’ll bear me through,
He bore my sickness, my pain,
For my health was He scourged,
His loving-kindness not in vain;
Trusting Him, my sin was purged.

5. There’s a haven for my soul,

Within the veil, within the veil,
Entered He to fix the goal,
Within the veil, within the veil.
For me a hope, both steadfast sure;
Anchored fast, I’ll not fail;
The great High Priest, so matchless pure,
Welcomes me, within the veil.

158 HE’LL BEAR YOU THROUGH

And when you find your efforts will not do,
Why should you fear ? Be still and cease from strife;

Nearer to Him, the cross explains it now,
Your falt’ring steps He’ll safely guide them through;

And when your trembling heart is burdened too,
Faithful is He, there’s nothing to dismay,
He’ll bear you through, He’ll bear you through.

When sin has left its mortal stain on you,
Do not despair, the foe is now oérthrown,
He’ll bear you through, He’ll bear you through.

And fear of death hath cast a dismal gloom,
There’s healing sure for those who will repent;’
He’ll bear you through, He’ll bear you through.

5. Is future dark, no hope beyond the grave ?

Is Heaven yet a realm unknown to you ?
Only believe ! All Heaven’s wealth you have;
He’ll bear you through, He’ll bear you through

And the world will then know of the truth they spurned,
Of the sure Word of God which they often heard.

“Peace within Thy gates”rings all day
There the streets are all of gold, purged from all alloy,
Hail Jerusalem !that end pilgrim way.

2. O, the height an love in that city there,

Where the saints are immortal and fair,
In the father’s bosom there, free from fear and care,
Wafts the rest of God in fragrant air.

3. What a festal gathering seen, anthems pealing sweet,

Sound the note of the vict’ries they won,
Like the many waters sound, is their voice replete,
‘Though of many nations, yet but one.

4. Her foundations garnished strong, rich and precious stones,

Where the pure Mount of God towers high,
See the saints exalted there, Father heard their groans,
Who to holy Zion can draw nigh ?

5. Tree of life with changing fruit, every month it’s rare,

Living stream from His throne, crystal clear,
There my home and resting place, as His Bride to share,
Do, O long expected Christ appear.

197 DEARER THAN GOLD

1. It’s for me on the tree He endured agony,

What a beautiful thought to my soul,
It was love and for me, what a sight Calvary,
It was there that he ransomed my soul.

Chorus:
Dearer than gold, dearer than gold,
Yes, the Saviour, is dearer than gold,
Dearer than gold, dearer than gold,
But this story shall never grow old.

2. There is no other plea, and for sinners like me,

How enticing Thy Word to my ear,
When Thou cam seeking me that as mortal to be,
Perfect love hath now cast all fear.

3. Through the stripes laid on Thee, there is healing for me,

Balm of heaven my sickness to cure,
Thy compassion I see, reaching wide as the sea,
For Thy promise is steadfast and sure.

4. Through the ages I’ll know of the sufferings He bore,

Mercy soundeth like harps out of Zion,
And all the sages of old, they shall sing of this lore,
All the glory to Judah’s great Lion.

5. Let the sinner now know, Christ hath crushed the great foe,
Cruel satan, thy sting is no more,
Hoist the banner to show that through faith we shall go,
And that boldly, through Jesus our Door.

198 WORTHY OF THE MASTER

1. Will you give Him your affection ?

See the Lord, He waits for you,
Pouring forth your life an offering,
This is all for you to do.
Not for angels but for mortals,
Is this narrow way to take,
Father’s heart will greatly gladden,
If for Jesus all forsake.

2. Say not life is all too narrow,

Faith will gladly brave it all,
And His Word will ever quicken,
As you hearken to His call.
Chosen one, why will you falter ?
Do not doubt, ye trembling hearts,
There is always peace and safety,
If you boldly make a start.

3. Jesus Lord is soon returning,

Soon you’ll hear the trumpet blast,
Signs on earth are this proclaiming,
As the Bible doth forecast.
Wake from slumber, night is ending,
Keep your vigil, quit like men,
Lest your Master finds you faithless,
Weeping will not help you then.
4. Time to seek for great revival,
It must come in old time way,
Speak the truth in all its fullness,
Matters not the price you pay.
God will heed your patient crying,
As you battle all the way,
Father knoweth all your trials,
Only look to that great Day.

5. Truth has never failed to conquer,

Though the snares beset the way,
Christ enthroned doth watch the battle,
He will guide till break of Day.
Muster all your strength for action,
What His grace hath wrought for you,
Be a vessel purged and holy,
Worthy of the Master true.

199 WHAT CAN I GIVE ?

1. What can I give for Jesus,

What can for love exchange ?
The peace and joy and solace,
Giv’n me a sinner strange,
If all my substance offer,
For love so strong as death,
"It’s naught” He gently whispers
"I chose thee from thy birth”.

2. “Thou art My child”, said Jesus,

"In shadow of My Hand,
My angels guard the righteous,
Thy thoughts I understand;
I know thy name for certain,
I set thee now on high”
Called unto Holy Zion,
Who can this truth belie ?

3. “My Word can never alter,

Though mountains may depart,
All demons fear encounter,
The truths that I impart,
No weapon formed shall prosper,
No tongue in judgement rise”.
This heritage is proper,
For servants of the Christ.

4. "All sickness and oppression,

All fear and terror flee,
Great peace is true of children,
Their righteousness of Me”.
The Lord of old hath spoken,
With everlasting love,
His door is ever open,
With blessings from above.

5. O, Gentle Lamb from Heaven,

To Thee my life I owe,
May love like channels deepen,
Thy likeness more restore.
All earthly gain is but loss,
When Thou doth speak within,
Love’s meeting place be Thy cross,
When Thou hast vanquished sin.
200 TRUST HIM

201 I'M CHANGED

1. Lost to God I wandered,

With no fear to sin,
Often judgments thundered,
Warnings from within ;
Then I heard of Jesus,
Of His love to save,
Oh, His grace is precious,
He my sins forgave.

Chorus:
I'm saved, I'm healed,
I'm filled, I'm changed,
By His grace and glory,
I am pressing on.

2. Once I was a sinner,

Life had lost its charms,
Who will free the prisoner ?
Fear did raise alarm
Light then came forth streaming,
To my darkened soul,
Bliss of Heav'n perfecting,
Leads me to the goal.

3. Life was once a struggle,

Vexing thoughts unsolved,
When I tried to wangle,
Found myself involved ;
Loving hand of mercy,
Arm of God to save,
Clothed me in His beauty,
When His life He gave.

4. Hell-bound path was easy,

Subtle ways unknown,
Will it e'er be rosy, God, if I disown ?
Off'ring me a Kingdom,
Came He from above ;
Is not this the freedom
From the God of love ?

5. Come then erring sinner,

Time to seek the Lord ;
Why in doubt still linger ?
Why live in discord ?
Jesus is the answer,
Light of life is He,
Everlasting Father,
Yearns to rescue thee.

202 HEALING

1. Thou Christ of God my sickness bore,

Dying there on a tree,
The cruel scourging made Thee sore,
Oh, what great agony !
In mercy died, Thou suff 'ring God,
Thou sought not gain nor man's applaud,
Thy loss our gain and our reward,
All for me sinner vile.
Chorus:
When I think of all Thy suff' ring,
Then my heart is full of praise,
As I watch for Thy appearing,
Thrilled with rapture, run the race.

2. In tenderness, Thou God of grace,

Came to earth, for its "dearth",
Thou bore the shame and all disgrace,
Unto death from Thy birth.
No selfish thought to save Thyself,
Thou came to bridge the yawning gulf,
That sin has caused thro' earthly pelf,
Thus to heal, even me.

3. All we like sheep have gone astray,

Ev'ry one to his way,
On Thee was laid our sins to pay,
What a price, Calvary !
Acquainted with our sicknesses, ‑
And wounded for our trespasses,
Great foe Thou crushed, made powerless,
When Thou died on the tree.

4. Thou hatest, Lord, all wickedness,

Spotless Lamb, Gift of God,
Thy gladness is in righteousness,
Holy One, Thee, we laud.
Not tainted with corruption's stain,
Hence from the grave Thou rose again,
There's healing now from His domain,
Lord of life rose again.

5. Thou shalt appear the second time,

To our joy, chosen ones,
To gather in the jewels fine,
Precious Lord, Thou art mine.
The sages in the distant past,
In vision saw and were aghast,
Of Thy return they did forecast,
Oh, do come, Bridegroom mine.

203 HE IS BORN

1. He's the Light of the world to the dark realm ofsin,

He's the Babe that was born by a Bethlehem'sinn,
All hail Him as Lord, though lowly a King,
And with wonder we worship this Jesus.

A Babe is born, the holy King,
The angels sing goodwill to men,
Sweet Babe is born in Bethlehem.

In a stable was born as the seers did forecast,
He left His great realm not counting the cost,
And with wonder we worship this Jesus.

The shepherds first heard of Bethlehem's King,

Of Him angels announced giving glory to God,
With music of Heav'n in rapt'rous accord,

If Bethlehem’s stall our portion and aim

In twinkle of an eye.

For those Thou didst employ.

But in Me they find their health with meekness,
For their healing I came down.

His to be.

dared to follow Me,
Once despised on earth they wandered— dens

Followed Me, the Lamb so gentle, choosing not to
seek their plan,
Reign with Me above all heavens, for the race
they wholly ran.

With a lowly heart and tender, trusting Him

Where all saints say 'Amen', each a son and

The joy that will prevail.

If faithful I shall be,
And those who bear the cross will share
Thy throne eternally.

When the Kingdom is obtained.

His scourgings heal our pains,
All Satan's might He crushed for e'er,
Lo ! His faithfulness remains.

218 PERFECTION OF BEAUTY

1. When we reach the holy mountain, beyond the

crystal sea,
Then we'll sing the songs of Zion, of highest
themes they be,
There we see the Holy Father, unseen by other
men,
The unsearchable riches in Zion are within our
ken.

Chorus:
I long to be ready to meet Him when He comes,
I long for the rapture to meet Him in the air.
Oh, I want to see the glory and hear Him say “Well
done,"
For I long to be ready to meet Him when He appears.

2. I may have no earthly treasures, no certain

 dwelling place,
I'll not pine for worldly pleasures, for I am saved
by grace,
Now I'll rather walk with Jesus, and with Him stand
alone,
For I long to be ready to meet Him, at His holy
throne.

3. Now I know my Saviour truly, I've chosen narrow way,

It will lead to Zion surely, at breaking of the day,
And I'll never grumble ever, in trials firmly stand,
Where He leads I will follow Him gladly, with His
chosen band.

4. He will own before the Father, and name them one

by one,
There on Zion with the Saviour, this great prize
have they won,
And from Zion they be reigning, for all eternity ;
They are found to be faithful and worthy, by the
Trinity.

5. Oh ! how perfect is mount Zion, God truly loveth

thee,
Thou wast true to heavenly vision, for truth hath
made thee free,
When the Lord shall build up Zion, then Jesus
shall appear,

hour is near.

And all through the ages sweet message was sung,
We watch now with patience every hour of the day,
Oh ! do come our Bridegroom great.

And grace will lead me home.

cloudless sky,
I'm drinking at the fountain that never shall
run dry,
Oh, yes ! I'm feasting on the manna from
a bountiful supply,
For I am dwelling in Beulah Land.

3. Far below the storm of doubt upon the world is

beating,
Sons of men in battle long the enemy withstand ;
Safe am I within the castle of God's Word
retreating,
Nothing then can reach me, 'tis Beulah Land.

 alarm me,
I am safely sheltered here, protected by God's
hand ;
Here the sun is always shining, here there's
naught can harm me,

Gladly will I tarry in Beulah Land.

1. I was sinking deep in sin,

Sinking to rise no more,
Overwhelm'd by guilt within,

Be saved today.

Earth clouds and self-will bid Thou depart,
Be Thou enthroned in this poor, yearning
heart— (Repeat)

2. Broken, more broken, fain would I be,

Ever rememb'ring dark Calvary's tree,
Seeing Thy hands, Thy feet and Thy side,
Knowing naught else but my Lord crucified.

Till all life's treasures are counted but dross ;
Home, parents, brethren, wife, children, lands,
Gladly foregone through Thy nail-pierced hands.

4. Power, more power, this Lord, I need,

That with glad tidings my feet now may speed ;
Filled with Thy Spirit, now let me be,
Only and always devoted to Thee.

Till all my being exultingly sings —
Praise, honour, glory, wisdom and might,
Be unto Thee, Who turned darkness to light.

With glorious triumph through yonder skies ;
Then shall I see Thee, be like Thee and reign,
With Thee for ever, Thou blest. Lamb once slain.

260 OH ! I WANT TO SEE HIM

Pointing souls to Calvary — to the crimson flow,
Many arrows pierce my soul from without, within ;
But my Lord leads me on, thro' Him I must win.

Chorus:
Oh, I want to see Him, look upon His face,
There to sing for ever of His saving grace ;
On the streets of glory let me lift my voice ,
Cares all past, home at last, ever to rejoice.

2. 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 what e'er betide.

3. 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.

4. When before me billows rise from the mighty

deep,
They my Lord directs my barque ; He doth safely
keep,
And He leads me gently on through this world
below,
He's a real Friend to me, oh, I love Him so.

We'll sing as the happy moments fly ;
The song of love to Him above,
Grows sweeter as the days go by.

Are brighter as the days go by;
The stars of promise cheering sorrow's night,

Is stronger as the days go by ;
We feel the throbbings of immortal life,
Grow stronger as the days go by.

Is deeper as the days go by ;
The prospects op'ning to the Christians' view,
Are grander as the days go by.

To reach a hand the lost to save.

The weak in faith be strong,
With holy boldness going forth,
Denouncing sin and wrong ;
With burning zeal each heart aflame,
A whole salvation to proclaim.

Set hearts and tongues afire !
Thou wonderful transforming pow'r,
Come now in this accepted hour.

Changed in the twinkling of an eye.

Let us follow the Master as the saints gone before,
Let us take faith and courage from His bountiful
store,
He will strengthen your hand for He never can fail,
Through His might we shall ever prevail.

2. They suffered with joy, to follow their Lord,

With hearts filled with love, did they live out His Word,
Called, chosen and faithful, the truth to defend,
They loved not their lives and were true to the end.

3. We stand in the ranks, our courage is small,

We see the great need, and on Jesus we call,
O, give us the power, Lord, Thy faith and Thy grace,
To go to the battle and take up our place.

4. O, help us be bold, stronghearted and free,

We cling to Thy Word, all our trust is in Thee,
When Thou art beside us, though others have gone,
Thy presence will cheer us, and help us press on.

5. Be filled with His Spirit, and be not dismayed,

The Lord of the host of the saints gone ahead,
Is standing beside you to prove Himself strong,
So lift up your heart singing Him a new song.

6. Be steadfast and true, the Lord is with you,

What He did for others He'll do for you too,
He'll strengthen your heart, and He'll fill it with grace,
That you too will meet Him with joy face to face.

275 ZION AND NEW JERUSALEM

Will prevail from His holy Zion.

O, sons of Zion, shine forth thy light !
Proclaim the truth, of great high call,
Jerusalem, the Bride of Christ,
Let's crown Him King and Lord of all.

2. Above every name great, far above every throne,

Reigns unique the Lord Jesus on Zion's holy hill,
With Him dwell all His servants who did toil and
groan,
And they lived to their call fulfil.

3. Clothed with glory of God, like a jasper aglow,

Shines the holy Jerusalem, clean and so bright,
See the Bride of the Lamb clad as white as the snow,
What a glorious holy sight !

4. Of His servants it's said that they followed the

Lamb,
All the way though be dark, rough and dry all
along,
For they knew they were called from their dear
mother's womb,
To serve Him in the ages long.

5. Precious stones, twelve in all, form the founda‑

tion sure
Of the wall of the celestial City of gold,
So the Church is now built on the sound
doctrines pure,
By His saints as in days of old.

6. So be true to the light and the vision unveiled,

As the Lord builds up Zion, the City of God,
It's through you, saints of God, will His mind be
revealed,
In the Kingdom of God, our Lord.

Who will now go to the sheep gone astray ?
Who will dare go in My name to proclaim,
My loving good news and My name acclaim ?

Chorus:
Who will now follow to serve Me today ?
Taking his cross now My call to obey ?
Who will now say, O my Lord, here am I,
Send me now Lord, to serve Thee and to
die?

I laid aside all My glory and fame,
That you may be saved in My precious name,

None offered Me so much place as a nest ;
Gladly I suffered to give you My best,
Who will now follow to serve me today ?

Crowning me King in your own life to reign,
All that is Mine will be your heav'nly gain,
Who will now follow to serve Me today ?

5. All thrones, dominion and power are Mine ;

Father hath placed Me on Zion to reign,
My servants true will with Me rule and shine,
Who will now follow to serve Me today ?
6. Yes, where I am, there My servants shall be,
Perfectly one with us, the Trinity,
They shall have access to God's mystery,
Who will now follow to serve Me today ?

7. Some are so blind to the vision so great ,

Those who seek fortune will call it a fate ;
Some will repent and return rather late ;
Who will now follow to serve Me today ?

Planted within the house of the Lord,
Rooted deep in His love from sin set free,
I rejoice in His unfailing Word.

Tempted like as we are in the world,
Is awaiting to cleanse us and renew
All the saints who are bought by His blood.

4. I had rather a doorkeeper be,

In His house, than in mansions impure ;
For no good thing will He withhold from me,
And His Kingdom shall ever endure.

5. Let all saints gather within the veil,

To adore Him in spirit and truth,
He will quicken your heart and spirit frail,
With His glorious presence and strength.

6. We are saints of the household in Heav'n,

Built upon the foundation of truth,
Jesus Christ is the true chief Corner Stone,
Laid in Zion whence His glory shines forth.

Keep me by Thy power till that glorious day.

In His Name shall both the great and small

He has conquered every foe, for He died not in

With arms held out before me,

Hallelujah, oh, I am saved ;
He took my sins that day,
And washed them all away,
Hallelujah, oh, I am saved.

My feet would stumble all the way ;
But Christ, the Sun, has risen,
New life to me has given,
Now happily I'm on my way.

Through faith in Jesus Christ the Son ;
And now I'm born of water,
My faith is so much broader,
Through Calvary it's all been done.

4. Now I have gone to the Mountain, the fire came

down,
The Holy Spirit dwells within ;
His fire burns within me,
With new tongues I am singing,
For now I'm purified from sin.

5. I'm pressing on through to vict'ry in Jesus' Name ;

I'm leaving all this world behind ;
I'm drinking from the fountain,
That flows from Zion's mountain,
And therein all my springs I find.

Impart Thy love and all my life refine ;

And fill my soul with riches true.

Wilt Thou my longing satisfy, I pray,
Fill me with faith and cast my fears away ?

Uphold my spirit, guide me by the way,

Imprint His image deep down in my heart,
Let all unholy thoughts from me depart.

The wiles of Satan dark, unclean and wild,
Strengthen me now that i may always be
A victor by the battles fought by Thee.

Saviour born,

day and night,
Loving Thy appearing — Thy presence our
delight,
To see Thee face to face — with Thee for
e'er abide,
Come back quickly, Lord, for Thy Bride.

2. We're pilgrims, strangers on this earth, no place

to lay our head,
But faces pointed to the Lamb, and by His Spirit
led ;
We're holding fast our confidence in heritage divine,
Still running although others may resign.

3. He makes our feet just like hinds' feet upon the

rocky hills,
O'erflowing us with rapturous joy as valleys He
 now fills ;
Now "Maranatha” is our prayer — our blessed
hope's reward,
Make haste, Oh ! tarry not, beloved Lord !

4. Although the way seems steep and high that

leads to blessed end,
We're travelling through paths untrod, of times
without a friend ;
His love is burning in our hearts, and draws us
day by day,
His rod and staff do keep us in His way !

5. Our living hope grows brighter as we reach that

perfect day,
Our bodies will be raptured from the grasp of
death's decay ;
Exceeding joy will catch us up to glorious throne
above,
Where we shall see Him face to face in love.

296 THE LAND OF-PURE REPOSE

1. There's a land of pure repose,

Where we'll rest from all our foes,
In the place prepared above,
By our Saviour in His love.
There we'll gaze upon the face of Him
Who saved us by His grace
And worship Him Who set us free on Calvary.

Chorus:
 Though here the road be rough and steep,
And bitter trials may make us weep,
With broken heart and spirit faint,
Yet our lips bear no complaint,
For we know our suff' rings here work a
weight of glory there,
In our home where we shall rest on Jesus'
breast.

2. In that land of perfect peace,

Where our restless strivings cease,
We shall know as now we're known,
We shall share our Saviour's throne.
God Himself shall wipe our tears,
His perfect love dispel our fears,
And former things shall pass away,
In perfect day.

3. See that City, bright and fair,

Like a jasper, pure and rare ;
Christ's great treasure is His Bride,
Whom He loved, for whom He died.
See her twelve foundations strong,
Each formed of precious stones so long,
Hard pressed and shaped, but now so bright
In heaven's light.

4. Gates of glory fill our view ,

Each a pearl, whose milky hue
Speaks of long and sore travail,
Borne by saints within the veil.
See her streets, all paved with gold,
The tale of faith triumphant told ;
Oh ! New Jerusalem, my own
Sweet heav'nly home !

297 MY HEART WILL PRAISE THEE DAY AFTER DAY

1. How gracious Thy ways have been to me all

these years,
Thou hast been with me unseen to wipe all my
tears,
Great was Thy compassion shown which with all
Thy love so pure,
Mighty was Thy pow'r that kept me day after day.

2. When I was so weak and frail, life leaving my

breath,
Thy presence within the veil brought freedom
from death ;

and harm,
My heart will not cease to praise Thee, day after
day.

3. O Lord, how I long for Thee in a thirsty land,

Bow down from Thy sanctuary, take me by Thy
hand,
Send showers of latter rain, revive me Lord once
again,
My heart will rejoice and praise Thee, day after day.

from sin,
I thank Thee Lord for the race I'm running to win,
I thank Thee for choosing me, for ever to dwell
with Thee,
I'll worship Thee and exalt Thee, day after day.

5. My times are in Thy hand Lord, I am wholly

Thine,
Thou art my eternal God, cause Thy light to shine,
Teach me how to serve Thee Lord, may be at
home or abroad,
No matter where, only lead me, day after day.

One day a Saviour would come ;
One Who was sinless and able to save,
Man from his sin and his doom.

Jesus, my Saviour and King,
Come to my heart to abide ;
Lord, make me ready, awaiting that day,
Oh ! come for Thy loving Bride !

Jesus was born, poor and mean ;
Laying aside all the glory of Heav'n,
God came to earth quite unseen.

3. Only a few were prepared for that day,

Only a few could believe ;
These had been longing and waiting with hearts,
Ready for Him to receive.

4. Jesus is coming again to receive,

Those who for His coming yearn ;
Longing and waiting, prepared as a Bride,
Thus will they greet His return.

Jesus will summon His Bride ;
Lord, make me worthy, awaiting Thy call,
Ever to be by Thy side.

My doubting heart, my wavering mind ;
But Christ, His courage, His faith, His cheer,
Henceforth shall prevail in me.

Now I'm crucified with Christ ,
Though I live, 'tis no longer I,
But Christ, with His faith, His pow'r and
His love,
This life in me shall never die.

2. No longer I, my sorrow, my night,

My darkened soul, my spirit oppressed ;
But Christ, His gladness, His joy, His light,
Henceforth shall prevail in me.
3. No longer I, who unto this hour,
Was feeble, weak, diseased and infirm,
But Christ, His healing, His strength, His pow'r,
Henceforth shall prevail in me.

4. No longer I, that anger of mine,

That vengeful nature, bitter and proud ;
But Christ, His pardon, His love divine,
Henceforth shall prevail in me.

5. No longer I, my passion, my lust,

My stubborn will, my ways full of guile ;
But Christ, so yielded, so pure, so just,
Henceforth shall prevail in me.

“Come, gird up thy sword – quick! And cut ev’ry tie
Now consecrate thyself to Me”.

To leave all and walk in My steps?
Remember My love shown upon Calvary
Did I not for thee give My best?”

Says Jesus to those gone astray
“I’ll bring thee to Zion-My glory to see
Just turn to Me now and obey!”

They gave up their all to take hold of His hand

Though my hands hang down, my spirit fail
Within my frame so frail
I will rejoice, I will rejoice.

And all forsake my side
Though the only friends who understand
Must far from me abide
Though the ones I loved, who shared my bread
From me have turned and fled
I will rejoice, I will rejoice.

Yes, the Lord, He is my stay
He will make my feet like hinds’ feet
O’er the dangers on the way
He will place my feet on higher ground
Then will this theme resound
“I will rejoice, I will rejoice.”

For love wins all the way.

None else to hear my plea

Be Thou my shepherd, Guide and Friend
And lead me to the end.

For an unction deep within

Watch sinless at the tow’r, He comes!

when I felt there was none by my side
To whom could I go for help and I cried,
“ Who can be my friend and guide?”
I spent everyday in despair,
Alone, discouraged and sad
I called out, “ O God, will not You help me?”,
Jesus came reassuringly near.

Chorus:
He touched me in the depth of my heart
And filled me with a glorious joy
He has made me His love and His kindness enjoy
He’ll never from me depart.
2. As I reflect on my past,
how I praise Him for saving my life
Well-nigh I was lost through sin and its strife,
In wretched a state, outcast
I felt I had eaten the fruit,
Of death; my life seemed destroyed
But Jesus, my Lord, my soul’s Beloved,
Came to me as the fruit of new life.

3. O what a comfort I feel,

Now in Christ Who His grace does afford
And over my life, He reigns as the Lord,
His love so profound, so real
Though sickness afflicted me sore,
To Him I knew I could flee
And faithful as One Who never fails me,
Jesus came and my health did restore.

4. What an abundance of life,

I receive being risen with Christ
In Him am I hid, I’m strengthened with might,
Through Him Who in me abides
For God has amazingly shown,
On me His measureless love
Through filling me with the Holy Spirit,
Making me His possession, His own.

375 FIRE IN OUR SOUL

1. O God arise, let the foes take flight

Captain of hosts, our Might
O Great God now arise, before us go
We’ll by You our foes o’erthrow!

Chorus:
O, we need, we need Your Fire
How we need Your fire in our soul
O let Your Fire burn, holy Fire burn
How we need Your fire in our soul.

2. Revive us now, to our hearts speak peace

We shall in You rejoice
Like Elijah of old, we call on You
Baptize us in Fire anew!

3. Create in us by Your holy Fire

Lord, a sublime desire
Burn to ashes the flesh, the self, all pride
Help us in Your laws abide.

4. How on this earth, You with power did live

We shall Your life relive
Lord, come, quicken our soul, anoint with power
For service to You each hour.

5. From age to age, Lord, You are the same

We to Your power lay claim
Do great things even now, as yet unheard
For us; so confirm Your word.

376 HIS GLORY ABOVE THE HEAVENS

Chorus:
 High above the heavens, He’s set His glory
High above the heavens, it is for you and me
What He for us has planned, it’s hard to understand
His glory, great glory ordained for you and me.

1. He lifts up the poor, the broken-hearted

And sets them with princes on high in glory
He hears every plea, in men’s misery
And grants their desired liberty.

2. This passing affliction and all the trials

That we here experience make us His jewels
His glory we’ll share, with Him we shall reign
If we here endure every pain.

3. From glory to glory, He makes us journey

Baptising in fire, He makes us holy
His likeness to grant, He moulds us His way
And leads us with care everyday.

4. The gospel of glory to us He’s given

Through saints, His apostles, for our perfection
His counsels entire, they boldly declare
That we may with Christ be co-heirs.

5. When Zion He builds up, He’ll come in glory

His saints will inherit the glorious city
Adorned as His Bride, all glorious within
With Him they’ll for ever be seen.

377 THE LORD IS MY STRENGTH AND SONG

1. Lord You’ve made me glad
Can I ever be sad?
Your works for me, great indeed they are!
And I thank You Lord for Your grace thus far
Lord I praise, Lord I love, Your most precious name!

Chorus:
You are my Strength! You are my Song!
You are my Joy! For You I long!
You are my Light! You are my Might!
You are my Life! My friend and Guide!

2. You wiped all my tears

You removed all me fears
You kept from evil my soul these years
And to hear my pleas, You inclined Your ears
You are near, You are dear, You are my desire.

3. Lord, I’m in Your hands

‘Midst Your will do I stand
All things proceed from Your loving hand
And my life amazingly You have planned
All that’s mine, all that I’m, Lord I owe to You.

4. Lord, who can me love

Like You’ve loved me till now!
Your love surpasses all human love
And it thrills my soul I cannot say how!
Oh, its power grows each hour, Lord, with You I’m bound.

5. Saints who walk in white

Are alone Your delight!
I want You always to be afore
And to compass me with Your presence pure
And unmoved, I shall live and be changed like You!

378 THE BEAUTY OF THY HOLINESS

1. O loving God of peace and grace,

Reveal Thy Life through me
By sanctifying every part,
That I might holy be.

Lord give, that I might see
How holy, harmless, undefiled,

I look for that blest day
When Thou wilt come to take me as
Thy spotless Bride away.

379 O TO BE WITH THEE, JESUS

1. Jesus, Thou hadst chosen

While on earth ever to be with Thee
People who’d their all forsaken
And resolved to follow Thee.

Sweet it is to be with Thee.

In their life with Thee made one.

According to His sovereign will
King of Zion, King of nations
King of kings and Lord of lords
He redeems our lives and crowns us
With His righteousness.
2. Let us look up at the hills
From whence does come our timely help
In our lives the storms He stills
By His right hand we are upheld
And through ages, generations
He has been our dwelling place
He is high above all nations
Great His saving grace.

3. Let’s behold the Calv’ry’s hill

Where Christ our Lord hung on the tree
And His blood does cleanse us till
We all attain His purity
He is the propitiation
For our sins and all dead works
He makes us His habitation
Of His holiness.

4. Let us gaze upon the hills

Of Zion and Jerusalem
And indeed our heart it thrills
For there we’ll reach to reign with Him
Jesus our Apostle, High Priest
Shepherd, Leader, Father, Friend
He shall keep us, bear us, lead us
To that glorious end!

382 HOW AMIABLE ARE YOUR TENTS!

1. O God You are my God

And the swallow a nest

And no good thing, Lord from me You will withhold
I’ve found Your presence sweet
With Your love and joy replete
O my soul longs and faints for Your courts!

“Let Your grace fill deep in me coming as rain”
From strength to strength I’ll go
And appear in Zion, I know

Untainted in my soul
In this world I’ll stay with You faithful and true
And ever sing Your praise
In Your courts of holiness
O my soul longs and faints for Your courts!
383 HOW SWEET THE NAME!

In a believer’s ear!

And to the weary rest.

And cold my warmest thought
But when I see Thee as Thou art
I’ll praise Thee as I ought.

6. I would Thy boundless love proclaim

With every fleeting breath
So shall the music of Thy Name

384 LIFE WITH JESUS

1. Life was like a pathway, uncertain was the trail

Suddenly on hilltop, suddenly in a vale
The green and grassy meadows, did fade into desert sands
Fair and well-known regions, led to less familiar lands.

2. ‘Neath a heavy burden, along this lonesome way

Aimlessly I wandered, wond’ring what yonder lay
And when at last I gave up, in this path of shattered dreams
Then I met my Saviour, Who told me of higher themes.

3. Hand in hand with Jesus, do I now bravely go

Nothing can alarm me, He’s gone this way, I know
My life now has direction, the course is now well-defined
Bright and hope-filled future has shadowed the days behind.

4. Jesus is now standing outside your heart today

Hasten, Oh dear brother, call Him in- don’t delay
Then join us in our journey, in Christ you will find a friend
Who will never leave you, until you have reached the end.

5. Not without afflictions, valleys are just the same

Not without temptation, trials of fire and flame
‘Tis not without a hindrance, yet go on, my friend, go on
Trial turns into highway, and sighing turns into song.

6. Life is like a highway, no more a beaten trial

Steadily ascending, leading to riven veil
And lo! The gates are opened, the loved ones do welcome me
Vanish then the highway, and enter Eternity.
385 SAVIOURS IN ZION

1. Saviours shall ascend on Zion’s hill

There shall be deliverance and holiness
Their proclamation, “ The kingdom is the Lord’s”
Shall resound and all earth fill.

Chorus:
Glory, honour, pow’r unto our King
He is worthy to be praised
He reigns in Zion, saints exalt Him
In the land of the living.

2. Saviour’s through their prayers they’d proved to be

Saving men in sin and captivity
And interceding for saints in trials sore
Helped them through to victory.

3. Saviour’s making peace, they preached His word

And they worked to bring all to unity
Of the afflictions of Christ their part they bore
For the Church, by none deterred.

4. Saviour’s bold in fight, they did contend

For the faith delivered to saints of yore
And greatly zealous to see the Church is pure
Ever strove they to that end.

5. Saviour’s bearing men’s iniquity

In the Holy Place, stood they in the breach
They loved their people and poured their soul to death
Made them just, approved and free.

386 YOUR REDEMPTION’S DRAWING NEAR

Chorus:
Look up! Your redemption’s drawing near
Listen! Soon the trumpet you will hear
Keep watching! For the signs around
Announcing His return
Prepare yourselves, be ready, when He comes
To leave this world
Forsake the things which hinder you
Let nothing hold you back
In a twinkling He will come and then be gone.

1. The Lord is coming, we have heard

So many times before
We still have time to settle things, we say
That unforgiveness, anger, pride
The worldly ways that still abide
But we forget that Jesus soon will come.

2. Perhaps today, Oh glorious thought!

Our Lord may come, to take
His own beloved faithful Bride away
Not all will know, not all will hear
He’ll come in secret to appear
To those who truly long for His return.

3. Yet one more day, the Lord has giv’n

To sanctify our lives
To cleanse our hearts, to seek His face again
To fill us with His love, once more
Revive us with His mighty power
That we with joy will welcome Him that hour.

4. Perhaps today, now with delight

We long for that great Day
With hearts prepared, by faith our eyes can see
The vision of our Heavenly Groom
Awaiting to receive us soon
To take us to that home prepared above.

387 HE IS EVER TRUE

1. With praise on our lips we draw nigh to Thee

With hands lifted up on high
With songs in our hearts we bow down to Thee
All that is in us doth cry:

Chorus:
Above every name, above every pow’r
Exalted above all things
Uncreated and undying Thou art
Thy words are eternal springs
Yet mortals like us have captured Thy heart
What joy to our soul it brings!

2. No good thing Thou from our lives withhold

No evil befell our ways
And apparent evil did soon unfold
The blessings of endless days.

3. When blistering storms tried our lives to kill

And winds tried to lead astray
Thy voice like the thunder said, “ Peace, be still”
And we are still Thine today.

4. When stillness prevailed, with no words to cheer

When prayer had no sure reply
Thy silence did speak rather loud and clear
Like words of a full supply.

5. In days of the past, Jesus, thou wast true

Today, thou art still the same
Tomorrow, thy mercies will see us through
In honour our lips proclaim.

388 INFINITE LOVE

1. Can word describe or tongue recite

The measure of God’s love?
What passion did this dust excite
To bring Him from above?
Infinite God this planet trod
Bounded by feeble human frame
A sacrifice of immense price
The Son of God became.

2. The world He made, to world He came

The world, it knew Him not
Unto His own with love He came
His own received Him not
Yet love excelled, advanced unquelled
Breaking through forts of war and hate
O sovereign Love from heav’n above
Who can Thy depths relate!

3. He had to drink a bitter cup

His enemies to save
And on a cross be lifted up
And fill a borrowed grave.
But could the throes of fatal woes
Keep God and sinner man apart
As sorrow great and love in spate
Met in that lonely heart?

4. Creator God, by creature tried

And sentenced to the tree!
The sinless God was crucified
By sinner’s cold decree!
The scorn He faced, the cross embraced
Love bade Him pay that awful price
This sovereign Love from heav’n above
Leaned back and closed His eyes.
O Love divine, wilt Thou be mine?
How hast Thou captivated me!
Bearing my cross, through gain and loss
Jesus, I’ll follow Thee.

389 SEND US A GREAT REVIVAL

1. Come, O Lord, and revive us again

Set all our hearts aflame
Set us on fire, that’s our desire
Send down the latter rain.
Chorus:
Send us a great revival, lasting and eternal
We want to see You when You come
Make us all flames of fire, filled with faith and power
We want to overcome.

2. Times of refreshing, Oh, yes, we are waiting

Restore the years we’ve lost
First love and power for this last hour
Lord, this is all we want.

3. This is the time of Your visitation

This is the final hour
Give us a vision for that convention
High above in the sky.

4. Soon You are coming, Oh what a rejoicing

At last our race will be o’er
There no more crying, but joy everlasting
We’ll serve You evermore.

390 THE ARMY OF OVERCOMERS

1. A marvel to the nations, a wonder to the world

We’re an army of overcomers
Jehovah Nissi with us, His banner is unfurled
We’re an army of overcomers.

Chorus:
Step by step we’re marching onwards
There’s nothing to slow us down
For Jesus is Commander, He’ll go before us
 Till we win the victor’s crown.

2. Each one a one-man army, can storm through any host

We’re an army of overcomers
An army then of armies, filled with the Holy Ghost
We’re an army of overcomers.

3. Don’t worry, fellow soldier, if it’s a losing fight

We’re an army of overcomers
The battle isn’t over, the victory is in sight
We’re an army of overcomers.

4. No day without a battle, no moment of respite

We’re an army of overcomers
But never shall we draw back, in battles we’ll delight
We’re an army of overcomers.

391 BLESSED HOPE

1. There’s a place prepared in heaven

In that city bright and fair
When He comes He said He’ll take us
When He meets us in the air.

Chorus:
Blessed Hope! Sweet expectation!
Now with eyes of faith I see
Yearning in anticipation
With my Lord I soon shall be
Nothing else do I desire
For Eternity.
2. Nothing in this world can hold me
As a pilgrim passing through
With a vision now before me
New Jerusalem in view.

3. When I reach that holy city

I’ll behold and stand in awe
There I’ll meet the saints in glory
Loved ones who had gone before.

4. But amidst the wondrous splendor

Kneeling at His throne of grace
With a heart full of thanksgiving
I will gaze upon His face.

5. There for ever, Oh how blessed!

Never from His presence roam
Blessed Hope, keep ever burning
Lead me to my Father’s home.

392 HOW GREAT THOU ART

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

3. And when I think that God His Son not sparing

Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in
That on the Cross, my burden gladly bearing
He bled and died to take away my sin.

4. When Christ shall come with shout of acclamation

And take me Home, what joy shall fill my heart
Then I shall bow in humble adoration
And there proclaim: “ My God how great Thou art!”

393 JUST WALK IN FAITH

1. God has planned a way for you today and everyday

He has your life within His hands, just trust Him and obey
Your future’s under His control, though you may not understand
The path that He is leading you is just what He has planned.

Chorus:
Just walk in faith, He’ll give you eyes to make you see
His holy presence, might and majesty
He is there to give you constant victory
When you just walk in faith.

2. His Holy Spirit will support and guide you through the day
We may not see the path before but eyes of faith will see
The Master’s just ahead with hand to steady lest you fail
He’s promised that He’ll answer when to Him we humbly call.

3. The eyes of faith can look beyond discouragement and fear

Though all around is doubt, distress; faith knows the Lord is near
Greater is He that is within than he that stands without
Faith overcomes with fearless power, claims victory without doubt.

4. Perhaps today you feel that your own faith is almost gone
Then look to Christ within your life you too will overcome
With His own faith within your life you too will overcome
And live for Him in gratitude for all that He has done.

5. Within God’s Word we read of those who stood in faith so firm

Did exploits through His mighty Name, His promise to confirm
His word is still the same today for those who will believe
God wants to fill you with His faith-reach out and you’ll receive.

395 SHINE, JESUS SHINE

1. Lord the light of Your love is shining

In the midst of the darkness shining
Jesus, Light of the world shine upon us
Set us free by the truth You now bring us
Shine on me, shine on me.

Chorus:
Shine, Jesus shine
Fill this land with the Father’s glory
Blaze, Spirit blaze
Set our hearts on fire
Flow, river flow
Flood the nations with grace and mercy
 Send forth Your Word, Lord
And let there be light.

2. Lord, I come to Your awesome presence

From the shadows into Your radiance
By the blood I may enter Your brightness
Search me, try me, consume all my darkness
Shine on me, shine on me.

3. As we gaze on Your kingly brightness

So our faces display Your likeness
Ever changing from glory to glory
Mirrored here may our lives tell Your story
Shine on me, shine on me.

396 I AM RESOLVED

1. 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.

2. 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.
3. 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.

4. I am resolved to enter the Kingdom

Leaving the path of sin
Friends may oppose me, foes may beset me-
Still will I enter in.

397 WE WILL LIFT UP OUR VOICE AS ONE

1. Jesus prayed to the Father that we all may be one

As the Father and Son are united
Join our hearts with Your love
Filled with life from above
As Your Spirit now binds us together.

Chorus:
We will lift up our voice as one
As we glorify God’s own Son
Holy hands we now raise
To the Ancient of Days
Giving glory and honour and praise.

2. As we enter His presence with our hearts filled with joy

We will worship the Lord in the Spirit
Giving thanks to His Name
Who is worthy of praise
With His power and grace flowing through us.
398 BENEATH THE CROSS OF JESUS

1. Beneath the cross of Jesus,

I fain would take my stand
The shadow of a mighty rock,
Within a weary land
A home within the wilderness,
A rest upon the way
From the burning of the noontide heat,
And the burden of the day.

2. O safe and happy shelter!

O refuge tried and sweet
O trysting-place where heaven’s love,
And heaven’s justice meet!
As to the holy patriarch,
That wondrous dream was given
So seems my Saviour’s cross to me,
A ladder up to heaven.

3. There lies, beneath its shadow,

But on the farther side
The darkness of an awful grave,
That gapes both deep and wide
And there between us stands the cross,
Two arms outstretched to save
Like a watchman set to guard the way,
From that eternal grave.

4. Upon that cross of Jesus,

Mine eye at times can see
The very dying form of One,
Who suffered there for me
And from my stricken heart, with tears,
Two wonders I confess-
The wonders of redeeming love,
And my own worthlessness.

5. I take, O cross, thy shadow,

For my abiding place
I ask no other sunshine than,
The sunshine of His face
Content to let the world go by,
To know no gain nor loss-
My sinful self my only shame,
My glory all the cross.

399 GUIDE ME, O THOU GREAT JEHOVAH

1. 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! (2)
Feed me now and evermore(2)

2. Open Thou the crystal fountain

Whence the healing stream doth flow
Let the fiery, cloudy pillar
Lead me all my journey through
Strong Deliverer (2)
Be Thou still my strength and shield(2).

3. When I tread the verge of Jordan

Bid my anxious fears subside
Bear me through the swelling torrent
Land me safe on Canaan’s side
Songs of praises(2)
I will ever give to Thee(2)

4. Saviour, come! We long to see Thee

Long to dwell with Thee above
And to know in full communion
All the sweetness of Thy love
Come, Lord Jesus! (2)
Take Thy waiting people home(2).

401 I'M GETTING READY

To leave this world.

To leave this world,
I'm getting ready
For the gates of pearl;
Keeping my garments white,
Watching both day and night,
I'm getting ready
To leave this world!

2. Trusting in the riches

Of His saving grace, In each earthly trial
I His love can trace; Sure that up in heaven
I shall find a place,
I'm getting ready
To leave this world.
3. To prepare a mansion
Jesus said, "I'll go, If it were not true
I would have told you so;"
Well, just a little while
To linger here below; I'm getting ready
To leave this world.

402 GREAT IS THY FAITHFULNESS

Morning by morning new mercies I see:
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided,

Join with all nature in manifold witness

Just from Jesus simply taking
Life and rest, and joy and peace.

Wilt be with me to the end.

Before we reach the heavenly fields,
Before we reach the heavenly fields,
Or walk the golden streets, Or walk the golden streets.

To fairer worlds on high
To fairer worlds on high.

He set my feet on the rock to stay;

A song of praise, hallelujah!

In the mind of God the Father
Was a great eternal plan

It was graven in His hands
That some saints would follow Jesus
And on Zion with Him would stand

Chorus:
Blessed Zion, holy Zion,
Fill my heart Lord with Your love
I will follow You to Zion
I will join the saints above

They are bound to Him alone
Choosing only things which please Him
On the holy mount they pray
How the love of God does keep them
In His presence night and day

And the burden of my heart rolled away
It was there by faith I received my sight,
And now I am happy all the day!

And bathed in its own blood
While the firm mark of wrath divine
His would in anguish stood

3. Was it for crimes that I had done

He groaned upon the tree?
Amazing pity! Grace unknown!
And love beyond degree!

4. Well might the sun in darkness hide

And shut his glories in
When Christ the mighty Maker died
For man the creature’s sin

5. Thus might I hide my blushing face

While His dear cross appears
Dissolve my heart in thankfulness
And melt my eyes to tears

The debt of love I owe
Here, Lord, I give myself away
‘Tis all that I can do.

Sin may threaten to undo
All the good my Lord has done in me;
But sufficient is His grace
In my weakness I find strength
For it’s the Blood that gives the victory.

Thoughts may rise within my heart
“Will I find His stripes avail for me?”

And by faith I overcome
For it’s the Blood that gives the victory.

Shouting praises all the way,

When our journey is complete.

Who yielded his life an atonement for sin,
And opened the life gate that all may go in.

let the earth hear his voice!
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord,
let the people rejoice!
O come to the Father thru Jesus the Son,

to every believer the promise of God;
the vilest offender who truly believes,
that moment from Jesus a pardon receives.

And great our rejoicing thru Jesus the Son;
But purer, and higher, and greater will be
Our wonder, our transport, when Jesus we see.

437 CAST ALL YOUR BURDEN

In that land beyond the sun.

Find peace and comfort, eternal strength.

And in all life’s situations,
He will hold you in His hands,
When there’s no one there to help you,
He’s the One Who never leaves
Listen to Him gently speaking
All His promises receive.

3. When it seems all hope is fading

And you feel you can’t go on
There’s a strength that comes in waiting;
There the victory is won.
As we trust along in Jesus,
Who can never, ever fail,
There’s no need to be discouraged;
In His presence you’ll prevail.

4. So, be faithful in the battle;

Soon we’re going to receive
The reward for all our labours,
From our suffering, relief,
The reward – to be with Jesus
And to look into His face,
Then we’ll know that all our trials
Brought us to that glorious place.

438 HE IS LORD

1. Emptied of His glory,

God became a man,
To walk on earth in ridicule and shame.
A ruler, yet a servant;
A shepherd, yet a lamp
A Man of Sorrows, agony, shame.

Chorus:
He is Lord ! He is Lord !
He is risen from the dead
And He is Lord !
Every knee shall bow
Every tongue confess
That Jesus Christ is Lord !
2. Humbled and rejected,
Beaten, and despised;
Upon the Cross the Son of God was slain
Just like a lamb to slaughter,
A sinless sacrifice;
But, by His death His Cross became our gain.

3. Satan's forces crumbled

Like a mighty wall
The stone that held Him in was rolled aside.
The Prince of life in glory
Was lifted over all;
Now earth and heaven echo with the cry.

439 TOUCH US ONCE AGAIN, O LORD !

1. Lord we long to see Your Power,

As in the days of old
To see Your Living Word fulfilled
Before our eyes unfold
And as we wait, and while we sigh
Lord grant to us our deep heart’s cry

Chorus:
Touch us once again, O Lord!
Just once touch from you
Anoint us with Thy power we pray
For nothing else will do
Revive, restore what we have lost
It matters not, the cost
But this we plead, this is our need
 To touch us once again.

2. Our eyes are dry, our hearts are hard,

Our ears are deaf to hear
Our love is cold, our hands hand down
Faith seems to disappear
Though in this state, within us lie
Longings which none can satisfy.

3. Within Thy Word we often read

Of exploits in Your name
Your healing power, of miracles
Surely it’s still the same
What You have done in days gone by
Do it again, is our heart’s cry

4. The hosts of darkness now surround

With fear and doubt assail
Through without strength to overcome
Through Thee we shall prevail
We know Your promises are true
And what You’ve said You’ll surely do.

5. At any time You will return

To take Your Bride away
But we believe, that You can
Make us ready for that day
So fill our hearts with holy zeal
That we may have a faith that’s real.

440 ARISE AND FIGHT

1. Your miracle’s on the way
Today could be the day
Believe the Lord and trust in Him:

Arise and fight,
Arise and sing;
Lift up your banner high –
The battle has been won !

Oppressions will be bound
The mighty angels of the Lord
Are camping all around.

Hold forth the word of grace,
And you will find deliverance-
Just seek His blessed face.

The battle has been won,
Adore and worship Jesus Christ;
He is the risen Son.

441 PRAISE MY SOUL, THE KING OF HEAVEN

Ransomed, healed, restored, forgiven,
Who like thee His praise should sing?
Praise Him! Praise Him !
Praise Him! Praise Him !

2. Praise Him for His grace and favour

To our fathers in distress;
Praise Him still the same forever,
Slow to chide, and swift to bless.
Praise Him! Praise Him !
Praise Him! Praise Him !
Glorious in His faithfulness.

3. Father like He tends and spares us,

Well our feeble frame He knows;
In His hands He gently bears us,
Rescues us from all our foes.
Praise Him! Praise Him !
Praise Him! Praise Him !
Widely yet His mercy flows.

4. Angels in the height, adore Him,

Ye behold Him face to face;
Sun and moon, bow down before Him;
Dwellers all in time and space,
Praise Him! Praise Him !
Praise Him! Praise Him !
Praise with us the God of grace.

442 BRINGING IN THE SHEAVES

1. 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.

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.

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

3. 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.

443 CALLED, CHOSEN AND FAITHFUL

Chorus:
Called, chosen, and faithful
That's what I want to be;
Called, chosen, and faithful
Your glorious face i'll see;
No matter the cost that I have to pay
I'm choosing to follow You all of the way;
Called, chosen, and faithful
 By Your grace I pray.

2. You have called me out of darkness

into Your light;
You have called me from my emptiness
And filled with Your life;
You have called me unto holiness
That I might be Your Bride;
Oh how high this heavenly calling
Oh how precious is this life.

3. We're Your chosen generation

Although we're few;
You have chosen weak and foolish ones
To find their strength in You;
In the furnace of affliction Lord
Your Word will see me Through;
And in all of life's temptations
Zealous love will keep me true.

4. My desire is to be faithful
in all I do;
Yes I'll take my cross and run my race
To finally win You;
You have made me more than conqueror
An overcome too;
Oh the Joy of having served You
It's the least that I could do.

444 THE DAY OF CHRIST

One day when sin was as black as could be,
Jesus came forth to be born of a virgin—
Dwelt among 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—O glorious day!

One day they nailed Him to die on the tree;
Suffering anguish, despised and rejected;
Bearing our sins, my Redeemer is He.

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 stone rolled away from the door;
Then He arose, over death He had conquered;
Now is ascended, my Lord evermore.

One day the skies with His glory will shine;
Wonderful day, my beloved ones bringing;
Glorious Saviour, this Jesus is mine!

Ever My rest, I've chosen it;
I will arise - Oh! Oh! Oh! I will shame;

You are My chosen, you are blessed;
I'll satisfy abundantly.
For I've Promised to meet your need.

And all My servants dance for joy;
I will anoint and separate
Those whom I've chosen with me to reign.

Al of your children will be Mine;
If they will keep My covenant,
They will serve Me in righteousness.

446 HE’S THE LOVER OF MY SOULD

Like the publican I bowed my head in shame
I was standing far away when i heard the Saviour say
You're forgiven, my child, you're Mine!

Praise God! He has cleansed and made me whole
By his blood I am forgiven,

Ever since He broke the chains that bound my soul
He is with me every day, walking with me all the way,
Joy excelling has filled my soul!

Worldly dreams that stained my mind have fled away
Love amazing now ablaze, singing songs of joy and praise
Willingly I will follow Him.

Very soon one day I'll see His glorious face
I will leave this world of woe, sin and death shall be no more
Blessed Jesus, my Lord, You're mine!

And a joy this world could not afford

By angels and seraphs in Heaven adored
I know Thou art mine, My Savior divine

Be my store great or small

Thou art worthy all praise
My wonderful, wonderful Lord.

On God's highway of holiness
Reaching higher, my vision brighter,
As I'm following in His steps.

Forsaking all, taking up the cross.

At journey's end I shall see His face.

What is there left for me to do?
Simply to cease from struggling and strife,
Simply to walk in newness of life.

Holiness now the pathway I tread,
Beautiful thought, while walking therein:
He that is dead is freed from sin.

Following Christ, who goeth before;
I am from bondage utterly freed,
Reckoning self as dead indeed.

4. Living for Christ, my members I yield,

Servants to God, for evermore sealed,
Not under law, I’m now under grace,
Sin is dethroned, and Christ takes its place.

Things of which now I’m truly ashamed,
Fruit unto holiness will I bear,
Life evermore, the end I shall share.

To His Presence always came,
They were faithful, set apart,
But we have no words to say,

And brought sorrow to God’s heart!
But we’ll stand, we will fight
We will never be defeated,
We’ll be true to the cross
We will fight until we will.

there’s a place with no more tears
There is glory is for our pain,
All the angels will applaud,
When we get our great reward,
Every loss become our gain,

We will never be deafeated,
Till the day Jesus comes,
We’ll be faithful to our call.

In His glory He’ll appear
Then upon that holy mount will stand
Those who followed Christ the Lamp

Perfection of beauty
The joy of all the earth is she!
From Zion our God does shine
What glorious sight!

Till we stand on Zion’s hill

It is my inheritance
Though her stones may be despised by some
They are precious truths I live.

See the beauty of the King!
And all other beauties fade away
In the light of Jesus’ face

For He loves His heritage
And He said He won’t forsake His own
Till they reach their heav’nly home

Crowns of joy upon their heads
They will sing the anthems none can sing
Bringing glory to their King!
