THERE'S A HOME ETERNAL...




                                 THERE'S A HOME ETERNAL...
Author:Horatius R. Palmer


There is a Home eternal,
Beautiful and bright,
Where sweet joys supernal
never are dimmed by night;
White robed angels are singing,
Ever around the bright throne;
When, oh, when shall I see thee,
Beautiful, beautiful Home?

Home! Beautiful Home!
Bright beautiful Home!
Bright Home of our Saviour,
Bright beautiful Home!



Flowers are ever springing
In that Home so fair;
Little children singing
Praises to Jesus there.
How they swell the glad anthem,
Ever around the bright throne;
When, oh, when shall I see thee,
Beautiful, beautiful Home?

Home! Beautiful Home!
Bright beautiful Home!
Bright Home of our Saviour,
Bright beautiful Home!



Soon shall I join the ransomed,
Far beyond the sky;
Christ is my salvation,
Why should I fear to die?
Soon my eyes shall behold Him
Seated upon the bright throne;
Then, oh, then shall I see thee,
Beautiful, beautiful Home?
Home! Beautiful Home!
Bright beautiful Home!
Bright Home of our Saviour,
Bright beautiful Home!

THERE'S A WONDERFUL STORY




               THERE'S A WONDERFUL STORY

      

1. There’s a wonderful story I’ve heard long ago,
’Tis called The sweet story of old;
I hear it so often, wherever I go,
That same old story was told;
And I’ve thought it was strange that so often they’d tell
That story as if it were new;
But I’ve found out the reason they loved it so well,
That old, old story is true.
That old, old story is true, that old, old story is true;
But I’ve found out the reason they loved it so well,
That old, old story is true.
2. They told me of a being so lovely and pure,
That came to the earth to dwell,
To seek for His lost ones, and make them secure,
From death and the power of hell;
That He was despised and with thorns He was crowned,
On the cross was extended to view;
But oh, what sweet peace in my heart since I’ve found
That old, old story is true.
That old, old story is true, that old, old story is true;
But oh, what sweet peace in my heart since I’ve found
That old, old story is true.
3. He arose and ascended to Heaven, we’re told,
Triumphant o’er death and hell;
He’s preparing a place in that city of gold,
Where loved ones forever may dwell.
Where our kindred we’ll meet, and we’ll never more part,
And oh, while I tell it to you,
It is peace to my soul, it is joy to my heart,
That old, old story is true.
That old, old story is true, that old, old story is true;
It is peace to my soul, it is joy to my heart,
That old, old story is true.
4. Oh, that wonderful story I love to repeat,
Of peace and goodwill to men;
There’s no story to me that is half so sweet,
As I hear it again and again.
He invites you to come—He will freely receive,
And this message He sendeth to you,
There’s a mansion in glory for all who believe,
That old, old story is true.
That old, old story is true, that old, old story is true;
There’s a mansion in glory for all who believe,
That old, old story is true.

REJOICE, REJOICE YE SAINTS


                                        







                                REJOICE, REJOICE YE SAINTS




1. Rejoice! ye saints, again rejoice,
And sing, with one accord;
Rejoice with all your heart and voice,
In Christ your risen Lord.
Chorus:
Rejoice, (in the Lord,)
Rejoice in the Lord,
Rejoice in the Lord alway;
Rejoice, (in the Lord,)
Rejoice in the Lord, and again I say, Rejoice.
2. Rejoice! rejoice! lift up your head,
And praise the living God,
That for your souls the Savior shed
His own most precious blood.
3. Rejoice! rejoice! let praise abound
Before Jehovah's throne,
For dead ones raised, and lost ones found,
And prodigals brought home.
4. Rejoice! rejoice! the Lord will come,
According to His word,
And gather all His ransom'd home,
"Forever with the Lord."

ONWARD, UPWARD, HOMEWARD



         



                         ONWARD, UPWARD, HOMEWARD





“Onward, upward, homeward!”
Joyfully I flee
From this world of sorrow,
With my Lord to be;
Onward to the glory,
Upward to the prize,
Homeward to the mansions,
Far above the skies.
Chorus
Onward to the glory,
Upward to the prize,
Homeward to the mansions,
Far above the skies.
Verse 2
“Onward, upward, homeward!”
Here I find no rest;
Treading o’er the desert
Which my Saviour pressed;
“Onward, upward, homeward!”
I shall soon be there,
Soon its joys and pleasures,
I, thro’ grace, shall share.
Verse 3
“Onward, upward, homeward!”
Come along with me;
Ye who love the Saviour,
Bear me company;
“Onward, upward, homeward!”
Press with vigor on;
Yet a little moment
And the race is won.

Have you been to Jesus for the cleansing




HAVE YOU BEEN TO JESUS FOR THE CLEANSING POWER?



  • Have you been to Jesus for the cleansing pow’r?

  • Are you washed in the blood of the

  •  Lamb?

  • Are you fully trusting in His grace this hour?

  • Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?
    • Are you washed in the blood,

    • In the soul-cleansing blood of the Lamb?

    • Are your garments spotless? Are they white as snow?
        Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?
  • Are you walking daily by the Savior’s side?

  • Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?

  • Do you rest each moment in the Crucified?

  • Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?

  • When the Bridegroom cometh will your robes be white!

  • Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?

  • Will your soul be ready for His presence bright,

  • And be washed in the blood of the Lamb?

  • Lay aside the garments that are stained with sin,

  • And be washed in the blood of the Lamb;

  • There’s a fountain flowing for the soul unclean,

  • O be washed in the blood of the Lamb.

    Now the Day Is Over







                   

    NOW THE DAY IS OVER





    1. Now the day is over,
      Night is drawing nigh,
      Shadows of the evening
      Steal across the sky.
    2. Jesus, give the weary
      Calm and sweet repose;
      With Thy tend’rest blessing
      May mine eyelids close.
    3. Grant to little children
      Visions bright of Thee;
      Guard the sailors tossing
      On the deep, blue sea.
    4. Comfort those who suffer,
      Watching late in pain;
      Those who plan some evil
      From their sin restrain.
    5. Through the long night watches
      May Thine angels spread
      Their white wings above me,
      Watching round my bed.
    6. When the morning wakens,
      Then may I arise
      Pure, and fresh, and sinless
      In Thy holy eyes.

    Look Ye Saints The Sight Is Glorious


                                                 
                                                 




    Look Ye Saints The Sight Is Glorious

    Look, ye saints, the sight is glorious;
    See the Man of Sorrows now;
    From the fight returned victorious,
    Ev’ry knee to him shall bow:
    Crown him! crown him! (x2)
    Crowns become the Victor’s brow. (x2)
    Sinners in derision scorned him
    Mocking thus the Saviour’s claim;
    Saints and angels crowd around him,
    Own his title, praise his Name:
    Crown him! crown him! (x2)
    Spread abroad the Victor’s fame! (x2)
    Hark! these bursts of acclamation!
    Hark! those loud triumphant chords!
    Yashua takes the highest station;
    O what joy the sight affords!
    Crown him! crown him! (x2)
    King of kings, and Lord of lords. (x2)

    AMAZING GRACE











                                                      AMAZING GRACE




    Amazing grace! How sweet the sound
    That saved a wretch like me.
    I once was lost, but now am found,
    Was blind, but now I see.

    'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
    And grace my fears relieved.
    How precious did that grace appear
    The hour I first believed.

    Through many dangers, toils and snares
    I have already come;
    'Tis grace has brought me safe thus far
    And grace will lead me home.

    The Lord has promised good to me
    His word my hope secures;
    He will my shield and portion be,
    As long as life endures.

    Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
    And mortal life shall cease,
    I shall possess within the veil,
    A life of joy and peace.

    When we've been there ten thousand years
    Bright shining as the sun,
    We've no less days to sing God's praise
    Than when we've first 
    begun

    THE GREAT PHYSICIAN










  • The Great Physician now is near,

  •   The sympathizing Jesus;

  • He speaks the drooping heart to cheer,

  •   Oh, hear the voice of Jesus!

    • Sweetest note in seraph song;

    • Sweetest name on mortal tongue;

    • Sweetest carol ever sung:


    •     Jesus, blessed Jesus!
  • Your many sins are all forgiv’n,

  •   Oh, hear the voice of Jesus;

  • The veil ’twixt you and God is riven,

  •   Redemption wrought by Jesus.

  • All glory to the dying Lamb!

  •   I now believe in Jesus;

  • I love the blessed Savior’s name,

  •   I love the name of Jesus.

  • His name dispels my guilt and fear,

  •   No other name but Jesus;

  • Oh, how my soul delights to hear

  •   The precious name of Jesus!

  • MY JESUS I LOVE THEE











    My Jesus, I Love Thee

    Text: William R. Featherstone
    Music: Adoniram J. Gordon

    1. My Jesus, I love thee, I know thou art mine; 
     for thee all the follies of sin I resign.  
     My gracious Redeemer, my Savior art thou; 
     if ever I loved thee, my Jesus, 'tis now.  
    
    2. I love thee because thou hast first loved me, 
     and purchased my pardon on Calvary's tree; 
     I love thee for wearing the thorns on thy brow; 
     if ever I loved thee, my Jesus, 'tis now.  
    
    3. In mansions of glory and endless delight; 
     I'll ever adore thee in heaven so bright; 
     I'll sing with the glittering crown on my brow; 
     if ever I loved thee, my Jesus, 'tis now.  
    



    O CHRIST IN THEE MY SOUL HATH FOUND








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

    2.   And found in Thee alone,

    3. The peace, the joy I sought so long,

    4.   The bliss till now unknown.

      • Now none but Christ can satisfy,

      •   None other name for me;

      • There’s love and life and lasting joy,

      •     Lord Jesus, found in Thee.

    5. I sighed for rest and happiness,

    6.   I yearned for them, not Thee;

    7. But, while I passed my Savior by,

    8.   His love laid hold on me.

    9. I tried the broken cisterns, Lord,

    10.   But, ah, the waters failed!

    11. E’en as I stooped to drink they fled,

    12.   And mocked me as I wailed.

    13. The pleasures lost I sadly mourned,

    14.   But never wept for Thee,

    15. Till grace the sightless eyes received,

    16.   Thy loveliness to see.

    I AM COMING TO THE CROSS


                                   


    William McDonald, 1870   

    Scripture: Galatians 2:20


    MORE ABOUT JESUS




                             

    1. More about Jesus would I know,
      More of His grace to others show;
      More of His saving fullness see,
      More of His love who died for me.
      • Refrain:
        More, more about Jesus,
        More, more about Jesus;
        More of His saving fullness see,
        More of His love who died for me.
    2. More about Jesus let me learn,
      More of His holy will discern;
      Spirit of God, my teacher be,
      Showing the things of Christ to me.
    3. More about Jesus, in His Word,
      Holding communion with my Lord;
      Hearing His voice in every line,
      Making each faithful saying mine.
    4. More about Jesus on His throne,
      Riches in glory all His own;
      More of His kingdom’s sure increase;
      More of His coming, Prince of Peace.


    Eliza E. Hewittpub.1887

    HOW I PRAISE THEE



    1. How I praise Thee, precious Savior,
        That Thy love laid hold of me;
      Thou hast saved and cleansed and filled me,
        That I might Thy channel be.
      • Channels only, blessed Master,
          But with all Thy wondrous grace,
        Flowing through us, Thou canst use us
            Every hour in every place.
    2. Just a channel, full of blessing,
        To the thirsty hearts around;
      To tell out Thy full salvation,
        All Thy loving message sound.
    3. Emptied that Thou shouldest fill me,
        A clean vessel in Thine hand;
      With no strength but as Thou givest
        Graciously with each command.
    4. Witnessing Thy grace to save me,
        Setting free from self and sin;
      Thou hast bought me to possess me,
        In Thy fulness, Lord, come in.
    5. O Lord, fill now with Thy Spirit
        Hearts that full surrender know;
      That the streams of living water
        From our inner man may flow.

    SING THEM OVER AGAIN TO ME.

      PHILP P BLISS
