Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound, I welcome everything That saved a wretch like me. that comes to me in this moment I once was lost but now am found, because I know it is for my healing. Was blind, but now I see.
I welcome all thoughts, feelings, emotions, persons, T'was Grace that taught my heart to fear. situations, and conditions. And Grace my fears relieved. How precious did that Grace appear I let go of my desire for security. The hour I first believed. I let go of my desire for approval. Through many dangers, toils and snares I let go of my desire for control. I have already come; I let go of my desire to change 'Tis Grace that brought me safe thus far any situation, condition, person, or myself. and Grace will lead me home.
I open to the love and presence of God and God’s healing action and grace within. 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.

Refrain #2 #4 Will the Circle be Unbroken #5 I am a pilgrim A.P. Carter I am a pilgrim and a stranger I was standing by the window Traveling through this wearisome land On one cold and cloudy day I've got a home in that yonder city, good Lord And I saw the hearse come rolling And it's not, not made by hand For to carry my mother away I've got a mother, sister and a brother Chorus: Who have gone this way before Will the circle be unbroken I am determined to go and see them, good Lord By and by Lord, by and by For they're on that other shore There's a better home awaiting In the sky Lord, in the sky I'm goin' down to the river of Jordan Just to bathe my wearisome soul Lord, I told the undertaker If I can just touch the hem of his garment, good Lord "Undertaker, please drive slow Then I know he'd take me home For this body you are hauling Lord, I hate to see her go" I am a pilgrim and a stranger Traveling through this wearisome land Chorus I've got a home in that yonder city, good Lord And it's not, not made by hand I followed close behind her Tried to hold up and be brave But I could not hide my sorrow When they laid her in the grave

Went back home Lord, my home was lonesome Miss my mother she was gone All my brothers sisters crying What a home, so sad and lone

#18 I Shall Not Be Moved #19 Keep on the Sunny Side of Life Ada Blenkhorn Jesus is my Savior, I shall not be moved; In His love and favor, I shall not be moved, There's a dark and a troubled side of life; Just like a tree that's planted by the waters, There's a bright and a sunny side, too; I shall not be moved. Tho' we meet with the darkness and strife, The sunny side we also may view. In my Christ abiding, I shall not be moved; In His love I'm hiding, I shall not be moved, Chorus: Just like a tree that's planted by the waters, Keep on the sunny side, always on the sunny side, I shall not be moved. Keep on the sunny side of life; It will help us ev'ry day, it will brighten all the way, If I trust Him ever, I shall not be moved; If we keep on the sunny side of life. He will fail me never, I shall not be moved, Just like a tree that's planted by the waters, Tho' the storm in its fury break today, I shall not be moved. Crushing hopes that we cherished so dear, Storm and cloud will in time pass away, On His word I'm feeding, I shall not be moved; The sun again will shine bright and clear. He's the One that's leading, I shall not be moved, Just like a tree that's planted by the waters, Chorus I shall not be moved. Let us greet with a song of hope each day, I shall not, I shall not be moved; Tho' the moments be cloudy or fair; I shall not, I shall not be moved; Let us trust in our Savior always, Just like a tree that's planted by the waters, Who keepeth everyone in His care. I shall not be moved. Chorus #20 Hold to God’s Unchanging Hand #21 Jesus, Savior, Pilot Me Jennie Wilson Edward Hopper
Time is filled with swift transition, Jesus, Savior, pilot me Naught of earth unmoved can stand, Over life's tempestuous sea; Build your hopes on things eternal, Unknown waves before me roll, Hold to God’s unchanging hand. Hiding rock and treacherous shoal. Chart and compass come from Thee: Refrain: Jesus, Savior, pilot me. Hold to God’s unchanging hand, Hold to God’s unchanging hand; As a mother stills her child, Build your hopes on things eternal, Thou canst hush the ocean wild; Hold to God’s unchanging hand. Boisterous waves obey Thy will When Thou say'st to them, "Be still!" Trust in Him who will not leave you, Wondrous Sovereign of the sea, Whatsoever years may bring, Jesus, Savior, pilot me. If by earthly friends forsaken Still more closely to Him cling. When at last I near the shore, And the fearful breakers roar Covet not this world’s vain riches 'Twixt me and the peaceful rest, That so rapidly decay, Then, while leaning on Thy breast, Seek to gain the heav’nly treasures, May I hear Thee say to me, They will never pass away. "Fear not, I will pilot thee."
When your journey is completed, If to God you have been true, Fair and bright the home in glory Your enraptured soul will view.
#22 Sweet Hour of Prayer #23 Come, Thou Long Expected Jesus William W. Walford Charles Wesley
Sweet hour of prayer, sweet hour of prayer, Come, Thou long expected Jesus that calls me from a world of care, Born to set Thy people free; and bids me at my Father’s throne From our fears and sins release us, make all my wants and wishes known. Let us find our rest in Thee. In seasons of distress and grief, My soul has often found relief, Israel’s Strength and Consolation, And oft escaped the tempter’s snare, Hope of all the earth thou art; By your return, sweet hour of prayer. Dear Desire of every nation, Joy of every longing heart. Sweet hour of prayer, sweet hour of prayer, the joys I feel, the bliss I share, Born Thy people to deliver, of those whose anxious spirits burn Born a child and yet a King, With strong desires for your return! Born to reign in us forever, With such I hasten to the place Now Thy gracious kingdom bring. Where God my Savior shows his face, And gladly take my station there, By Thine own eternal Spirit And wait for you, sweet hour of prayer. Rule in all our hearts alone; By Thine all sufficient merit, Sweet hour of prayer, Sweet hour of prayer, Raise us to Thy glorious throne. your wings shall my petition bear to him whose truth and faithfulness Engage the waiting soul to bless. And since he bids me seek his face, believe his Word and trust his grace, I’ll cast on him my every care, and wait for you, sweet hour of prayer! #24 Peace In The Valley #25 Alas! and Did My Savior Bleed Thomas Dorsey Isaac Watts
I am tired and weary, but I must toil on Alas! and did my Savior bleed, Till the Lord comes to call me away, and did my Sovereign die! Where the morning is bright and the Lamb is the light, Would he devote that sacred head And the night is as fair as the day. for sinners such as I?
Chorus: Was it for crimes that I have done, There'll be peace in the valley for me, some day, he groaned upon the tree? There'll be peace in the valley for me, oh Lord, I pray. Amazing pity! Grace unknown! There'll be no sadness, no sorrow, no trouble I see, And love beyond degree! There will be peace in the valley for me. Well might the sun in darkness hide, There the flow'rs will be blooming, and shut its glories in, the grass will be green, when God, the mighty maker, died And the skies will be clear and serene, for his own creature's sin. The sun ever shines, giving one endless beam And no clouds there will ever be seen. But drops of tears can ne'er repay the debt of love I owe. Chorus Here, Lord, I give myself away; 'tis all that I can do. The bear will be gentle and the wolf will be tame, And the lion shall lie down with the lamb, And the beasts from the wild will be led by a child, And I will be changed, changed from this creature that I am

#46 Were You There When The Crucified My Lord #47 When I Survey The Wondrous Cross William Eleazar Barton Isaac Watts
When I survey the wondrous cross Were you there when they crucified my Lord? On which the Prince of glory died, Were you there when they crucified my Lord? My richest gain I count but loss, O! Sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble, And pour contempt on all my pride. Were you there when they crucified my Lord? Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast, Were you there when they nailed him to the tree? Save in the death of Christ my God! Were you there when they nailed him to the tree? All the vain things that charm me most, O! Sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble, I sacrifice them to His blood. Were you there when they nailed him to the tree? See from His head, His hands, His feet, Were you there when they laid him in the tomb? Sorrow and love flow mingled down! Were you there when they laid him in the tomb? Did e’er such love and sorrow meet, O! Sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble, Or thorns compose so rich a crown? Were you there when they laid him in the tomb? Were the whole realm of nature mine, Were you there when he rose up from the grave? That were a present far too small; Were you there when he rose up from the grave? Love so amazing, so divine, O! Sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble, Demands my soul, my life, my all. Were you there when he rose up from the grave? #48 Hallelujah, I’m Ready #49 Nothing But the Blood Robert Lowry Hallelujah (I'm ready) I'm ready (Hallelujah) I hear voices singing soft and low What can wash away my sin?

Sinners don't wait before it's too late He's a wonderful Savior you know For my pardon, this I see, Well I fell on my knees and he answered my pleas Nothing but the blood of Jesus; Hallelujah I'm ready to go For my cleansing this my plea, Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
Chorus
Nothing can for sin atone, Nothing but the blood of Jesus; Naught of good that I have done, Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

#50 Take Me In Your Lifeboat #51 I Find Jesus Chris Hillman I walk in silence when it comes Chorus: This feeling when the spirit leads me on Take me in your lifeboat oh take me in your lifeboat If the dogs are barking and the night is rough It will stand the raging storm I take it as a sign to climb above. Take me in your lifeboat oh take me in your lifeboat It will bear my spirit home This city to the hill among the clouds Where I can see my Saviour now Now come brothers sisters and don't fall asleep He's waiting with His palms to me outstretched But pray night and day or you'll sink in the deep His mercy is a balm when I'm perplexed.

Chorus I look within and I am told It's Sunday morning in my soul And there I find a holy hall Where congregations heed the call.
And when I lay down my last time And feel a chill run up my spine And recognize my time has come I'll look around, He'll lead me home.
He'll reach His loving hand to me And bid me climb to victory Where we'll find kindred spirits there Hearts raised in song without a care. #52 Sow 'Em On The Mountain #53 I’ll Be Rested

The cattle are lowing, the baby awakes, Refrain: but little Lord Jesus, no crying he makes; By the mark where the nails have been I love thee, Lord Jesus, look down from the sky By the sign upon his precious skin and stay by my cradle till morning is nigh. I will know my savior when I come to him
By the mark where the nails have been Be near me, Lord Jesus, I ask thee to stay close by me forever, and love me, I pray; A man of riches bless all the dear children in thy tender care, May claim a crown of jewels and fit us for heaven to live with thee there. But the king of heaven Can be told from the prince of fools

#58 Life’s Railway to Heaven #59 When We All Get to Heaven Eliza E. Hewitt 1898 Life is like a mountain railway With an engineer that's brave Sing the wondrous love of Jesus We must make the run successful Sing His mercy and His grace From the cradle to the grave In the mansions bright and blessed Watch for curves and hills and valleys He'll prepare for us a place Never falter never fail And keep your hands upon the throttle Chorus: And your eye upon the rail When we all get to heaven What a day of rejoicing that will be When we all see Jesus Chorus: We'll sing and shout the victory Blessed Savior, Thou wilt guide us Till we reach that blissful shore While we walk the pilgrim pathway Where the angels wait to join us Clouds will over-spread the sky In God's praise forevermore But when traveling days are over Not a shadow not a sigh As you roll across the trestle Chorus Spanning Jordan's swelling tide You behold the Union Depot Let us then be true and faithful Into which your train will glide Trusting serving every day There you'll meet the Superintendent Just one glimpse of him in glory God, the Father, God, the Son Will the toils of life repay With a hearty joyous greeting Weary pilgrim, welcome home Chorus Chorus Onward to the prize before us Soon His beauty we'll behold As we roll along the mainline, Soon the pearly gates will open there'll be storms and there'll be night We shall tread the streets of gold There'll be sidetracks unexpected on the left and on the right. But with the straight always before us and our hearts upon the prize There'll be no disembarkation until we reach paradise #60 Green Pastures #61 Palms of Victory John B. Matthias Troubles and trials often betray those I saw a wayworn traveler, in tattered garments clad, Causing the weary body to stray And struggling up the mountain, it seemed that he was sad; But we shall walk beside the still water His back was laden heavy, his strength was almost gone, With the good shepherd leading the way Yet he shouted as he journeyed, "Deliverance will come!" Those who have strayed were sought by the master Chorus: He who once gave his life for the sheep Then palms of victory, crowns of glory, Out on the mountain still He is searching Palms of victory I shall wear. Bringing them in forever to keep The summer sun was shining, the sweat was on his brow, Chorus: His garments worn and dusty, his step seemed very slow; Going up home to live in green pastures But he kept pressing onward, for he was wending home, Where we shall live and die never more Still shouting as he journeyed, "Deliverance will come!" Even the Lord will be in that number When we have reached that heavenly shore The songsters in the arbor that stood beside the way Attracted his attention, inviting his delay: We will not heed the voice of the stranger His watchword being "Onward!" he stopped his ears and ran, For he would lead us on to despair Still shouting as he journeyed, "Deliverance will come!" Following home with Jesus our savior We shall all reach that country so fair Chorus Chorus I saw him in the evening; the sun was bending low; He'd overtopped the mountain, and reached the vale below: He saw the Golden City, "his everlasting home" And shouted loud, "Hosanna! Deliverance will come!" While gazing on that city, just o'er the narrow flood, A band of holy angels came from the throne of God; They bore him on their pinions safe o'er the dashing foam, And joined him in his triumph: Deliverance had come! Chorus I heard the song of triumph they sang upon that shore, Saying, "Jesus has redeemed us to suffer nevermore!" Then casting his eyes backward on the race which he had run, He shouted loud, "Hosanna! Deliverance has come!"
Chorus

Low in the grave he lay, Jesus my Savior, Rock of Ages, cleft for me, waiting the coming day, Jesus my Lord! let me hide myself in thee; let the water and the blood, from thy wounded side which flowed, Refrain: be of sin the double cure; Up from the grave he arose; save from wrath and make me pure. with a mighty triumph o'er his foes; he arose a victor from the dark domain, Not the labors of my hands and he lives forever, with his saints to reign. can fulfill thy law's commands; He arose! He arose! Hallelujah! Christ arose! could my zeal no respite know, could my tears forever flow, Vainly they watch his bed, Jesus my Savior, all for sin could not atone; vainly they seal the dead, Jesus my Lord! thou must save, and thou alone. Refrain Nothing in my hand I bring, simply to the cross I cling; Death cannot keep its prey, Jesus my Savior; naked, come to thee for dress; he tore the bars away, Jesus my Lord! helpless, look to thee for grace; foul, I to the fountain fly; Refrain wash me, Savior, or I die. While I draw this fleeting breath, when mine eyes shall close in death, when I soar to worlds unknown, see thee on thy judgment throne, Rock of Ages, cleft for me, let me hide myself in thee. #64 Leaning On The Everlasting Arms #65 Just a Little Talk with Jesus Cleavant Derricks - 1937 What a fellowship, what a joy divine, Leaning on the everlasting arms; I once was lost in sin but Jesus took me in, What a blessedness, what a peace is mine, And then a little light from heaven filled my soul Leaning on the everlasting arms. It bathed my heart in love and wrote my name above, And just a little talk with Jesus made me whole Refrain Now let us have a little talk with Jesus Leaning, O leaning, safe and secure from all alarms; Let us tell Him all about our troubles Leaning, O leaning, leaning on the everlasting arms. He will hear our faintest cry He will answer by and by O how sweet to walk in this pilgrim way, Now when you feel a little prayer wheel turning Leaning on the everlasting arms; And you know a little fire is burning O how bright the path grows from day to day, You will find a little talk with Jesus makes it right (all right) Leaning on the everlasting arms. Sometimes my path seems drear, without a ray of cheer Refrain and then a cloud of doubt may hide the light of day. The mists of sin may rise and hide the starry skies What have I to dread, what have I to fear, But just a little talk with Jesus clears the way Leaning on the everlasting arms; I have blessed peace with my Lord so near, I may have doubts and fears, my eyes be filled with tears Leaning on the everlasting arms. But Jesus is a friend who watches day and night I go to Him in prayer and he knows my every care Refrain And just a little talk with Jesus makes it right
#66 When the Roll is Called Up Yonder #67 Hallelujah Side
When the trumpet of the Lord shall sound, Once a sinner far from Jesus, and time shall be no more, I was perishing with cold, And the morning breaks, eternal, bright and fair; But the blessed Savior heard me when I cried; When the saved of earth shall gather over on the other shore, And he threw his arms around me, And the roll is called up yonder, I’ll be there. And he led me to the fold, Now I’m living on the hallelujah side. Refrain Signing glory be to Jesus, let the hallelujahs roll; When the roll (when the roll), is called up yonder, (I'll be there) Help me to sing my Savior’s praises far and wide, When the roll (when the roll), is called up yonder, (I'll be there) For I’ve opened up towards heaven When the roll (when the roll), is called up yonder, All the windows round my soul, When the roll is called up yonder I’ll be there. And I’m living on the hallelujah side. On that bright and cloudless morning Not for all earth’s gold and millions when the dead in Christ shall rise, Will I leave this precious place, And the glory of His resurrection share; Though the tempters to persuade me oft have tried, When His chosen ones shall gather to their home beyond the skies, For I’m safe in God’s pavilion, And the roll is called up yonder, I’ll be there. Happy in his love and grace, And I’m living on the hallelujah side. Refrain Signing glory be to Jesus, let the hallelujahs roll; Let us labor for the Master from the dawn till setting sun, Help me to sing my Savior’s praises far and wide, Let us talk of all His wondrous love and care; For I’ve opened up towards heaven Then when all of life is over, and our work on earth is done, All the windows round my soul, And the roll is called up yonder, I’ll be there. And I’m living on the hallelujah side. Refrain #68 Where the Soul Never Dies #69 Immortal, Invisible, God Only Wise William M. Golden Walter C. Smith To Canaan’s land I’m on my way, Immortal, invisible, God only wise, Where the soul (of man) never dies, in light inaccessible hid from our eyes, My darkest night will turn to day, most blessed, most glorious, the Ancient of Days, Where the soul (of man) never dies. almighty, victorious, thy great name we praise.
Refrain: Unresting, unhasting, and silent as light, No sad farewells nor wanting, nor wasting, thou rulest in might: (Dear friends there'll be no sad farewells) thy justice, like mountains high soaring above, No tear dimmed eyes thy clouds which are fountains of goodness and love. (There'll be no tear dimmed eyes.) Where all is love To all, life thou givest, to both great and small; (Where all is peace and joy and love) in all life thou livest, the true life of all; And the soul never dies we blossom and flourish like leaves on the tree, (And the soul of man never dies) then wither and perish, but naught changeth thee.
A rose is blooming there for me, Thou reignest in glory, thou dwellest in light, Where the soul (of man) never dies, thine angels adore thee, all veiling their sight; And I will spend eternity, all praise we would render; O help us to see Where the soul (of man) never dies 'tis only the splendor of light hideth thee! A love-light beams across the foam, Where the soul (of man) never dies, It shines to light the shores of home, Where the soul (of man) never dies My life will end in deathless sleep, Where the soul (of man) never dies, And everlasting joys I’ll reap, Where the soul (of man) never dies I’m on my way to that fair land, Where the soul (of man) never dies, Where there will be no parting hand, Where the soul (of man) never dies

#74 In the Garden #75 It Came Upon a Midnight Clear
It came upon the midnight clear, I come to the garden alone, that glorious song of old, While the dew is still on the roses, from angels bending near the earth And the voice I hear, falling on my ear, to touch their harps of gold: The Son of God discloses. "Peace on the earth, good will to men, from heaven's all-gracious King." Refrain: The world in solemn stillness lay, And He walks with me and He talks with me, to hear the angels sing. And He tells me I am His own, And the joy we share as we tarry there, Still through the cloven skies they come None other has ever known. with peaceful wings unfurled, and still their heavenly music floats He speaks and the sound of His voice, o'er all the weary world; Is so sweet the birds hush their singing, above its sad and lowly plains, And the melody that He gave to me they bend on hovering wing, Within my heart is ringing. and ever o'er its Babel sounds the blessed angels sing. Refrain And ye, beneath life's crushing load, I’d stay in the garden with Him whose forms are bending low, Though the night around me be falling, who toil along the climbing way But He bids me go, through the voice of woe, with painful steps and slow, His voice to me is calling. look now! for glad and golden hours come swiftly on the wing. Refrain O rest beside the weary road, and hear the angels sing! For lo! the days are hastening on, by prophet seen of old, when with the ever-circling years shall come the time foretold when peace shall over all the earth its ancient splendors fling, and the whole world send back the song which now the angels sing. #76 Hark the Herald Angels Sing #77 Go Tell It on the Mountain

Refrain Silent night, holy night, Oh, come, O Key of David, come, Son of God, love's pure light; And open wide our heav'nly home; radiant beams from thy holy face Make safe the way that leads on high, with the dawn of redeeming grace, And close the path to misery. Jesus, Lord, at thy birth, Jesus, Lord, at thy birth. Refrain Silent night, holy night, O come, our Dayspring from on high, wondrous star, lend thy light; And cheer us by your drawing nigh, with the angels let us sing, Disperse the gloomy clouds of night, Alleluia to our King; And death's dark shadows put to flight. Christ the Savior is born, Christ the Savior is born!

I am the life that'll never, never die. I'll live in you if you'll live in me: Amen I am the Lord of the dance, said he. Chorus
