“A little while,” our Lord shall come,And we shall wander here no more;He’ll take us to our Father’s home,Where He for us has gone before. “A little while,” He’ll come again;Let us the precious hours redeem;Our only grief to give Him pain,Our joy to serve and follow Him. “A little …
In thy name, O Lord, assembling,We, thy people, now draw near:Teach us to rejoice with trembling;Speak, and let thy servant hear,Hear with meekness,Hear thy word with godly fear. While our days on earth are lengthenedMay we give them, Lord, to thee,Cheered by hope, and daily strengthened,May we run, nor weary …
We’ll sing of Christ, no matter who Should disapprove the theme:When He is precious in our view, We can’t but sing of Him. And He is precious in the sight Of all who know His voice:’Twas He who brought them to the light, And taught them to rejoice. ’Tis He …
All that I was, my sin, my guilt, My death, was all my own:All that I am I owe to thee, My gracious God alone. The evil of my former state Was mine, and only mine:The good in which I now rejoice Is thine, and only thine. The darkness of …
Away with our sorrow and fear! We soon shall have entered our home;The city of saints shall appear, The day of eternity come.From earth we shall quickly remove, To dwell in our native abode,In mansions of glory above, Prepared of our Father and God. Ah! who upon earth can conceive …
O Lord, who now art seated Above the heavens on high,The gracious work completed, For which thou cam’st to die,To thee our hearts are lifted, While pilgrims wandering here,For thou alone art gifted, Our every weight to bear. We know that thou hast bought us, And washed us in thy …
What cheering words are these; Their sweetness who can tell?In time and to eternal days, “ ‘Tis with the righteous well.” In every state secure, Kept as Jehovah’s eye,‘Tis well with them while life endures, And well when called to die. Well when they see His face, Or sink amidst …
He bids us come; His voice we know, And boldly on the waters go,To Him our Lord and God; We walk on life’s tempestuous sea,For He who died to set us free, Hath call’d us by His word. Secure on troubled waves we tread, Nor all the storms around us …
Faint not, Christian, though the road, Leading to thy blest abode,Darksome be, and dangerous too— Christ, thy guide, will bring thee through. Faint not, Christian, though in rage, Satan would thy soul engage;Gird on faith’s anointed shield, Bear it to the battlefield. Faint not, Christian, though the world, Has its …
Rejoice ye saints, rejoice and praise The blessings of redeeming grace;Jesus, your everlasting tower, Mocks at the angry tempest’s power. His love’s a refuge ever nigh, His watchfulness as mountains high;His name’s a rock, which winds above, And waves below can never move. While all things change, He changes not, …
No condemnation! O my soul, ’Tis God that speaks the word:Perfect in comeliness art thou, In Christ thy glorious Lord. In heaven His blood for ever speaks, In God the Father’s ear:His church, the jewels, on His heart, Jesus will ever hear. No condemnation! precious word! Consider it, my soul;Thy …
Forever with the Lord! Amen, so let it be:Life from the dead is in that word, ’Tis immortality. Here in the body pent, Absent from Him I roam;Yet nightly pitch my moving tent, A day’s march nearer home. My Father’s house on high, Home of my soul, how nearAt times …
When along life’s thorny roadFaints the soul beneath the load,By its cares and sins oppressed,Finds on earth no peace or rest:When the wily tempter’s near,Filling us with doubts and fear;Jesus to Thy feet we flee,Jesus, we will look to Thee. Thou, our Saviour, from the throne,List‘nest to Thy people’ s …
Our times are in Thy hand, O God we wish them there;Our life, our friends, our souls we leave Entirely to thy care. Our times are in Thy hand, Whatever they may be,Pleasing or painful, dark or bright, As best may seem to Thee. Our times are in Thy hand, …
Give to the winds thy fears, Hope, and be undismayed;God hears thy sighs, and counts thy tears, God shall lift up thy head. Through waves, and clouds, and storms, He gently clears the way:Wait thou His time; so shall this night Soon end in joyous day. Still heavy is thy …
Just as I am, without one plea, But that thy blood was shed for me, And that thou bidd’st me come to Thee, O Lamb of God, I come, I come! Just as I am, and waiting not To rid my soul of one dark blot,To Thee, whose blood can …
