VICTORY IN JESUS
I heard an old, old story How a Savior came from glory How He gave His life on Calvary To save a wretch like me I heard about His groaning Of His precious blood’s atoning Then I repented of my sin And won the victory
Oh victory in Jesus My Savior forever He sought me And bought me With His redeeming blood He loved me ‘ere I knew Him And all my love is due Him He plunged me to victory Beneath the cleansing flood
(repeat chorus)
TURN YOUR EYES UPON JESUS
O soul are you weary and troubled No light in the darkness you see There’s light for a look at the Savior And life more abundant and free
Turn your eyes upon Jesus Look full in His wonderful face And the things of earth will grow strangely dim In the light of His glory and grace
(repeat chorus)
IT IS WELL WITH MY SOUL
When peace like a river attendeth my way When sorrows like sea billows roll Whatever my lot Thou hast taught me to say It is well, it is well with my soul
It is well, with my soul, it is well, it is well with my soul
My sin, oh the joy of this glorious thought My sin, not in part, but the whole Is nailed to the cross and I bear it no more Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, Oh my soul
It is well, with my soul, it is well, it is well with my soul
And Lord, hast the day when my faith shall be sight The clouds be rolled back like a scroll The trump shall resound And the Lord shall descend Even so, it is well with my soul
It is well, with my soul, it is well, it is well with my soul
AS THE DEER
As the deer panteth for the water So my soul longeth after Thee You alone are my heart's desire And I long to worship Thee You alone are my strength, my shield To You alone may my spirit yield You alone are my heart's desire And I long to worship Thee
(repeat)
IN THE GARDEN
I come to the garden alone While the dew is still on the roses And the voice I hear Falling on my ear The song of God discloses
Chorus: And He walks with me And He talks with me And He tells me I am his own And the joy we share As we tarry there None other has ever known
He speaks and the sound Of His voice Is so sweet the birds hush their singing And the melody That He gave to me Within my heart is ringing
(repeat chorus)
BLESSED ASSURANCE

(repeat chorus)
MY HOPE IS BUILT
My hope is built on nothing less Than Jesus' blood and righteousness And I dare not trust the sweetest frame But wholly lean on Jesus' Name

When He shall come with trumpet sound Oh, may I then in Him be found Dressed in His righteousness alone Faultless to stand before the throne
(repeat chorus)
HIS EYE IS ON THE SPARROW
Why should I feel discouraged, Why should the shadows come, Why should my heart be lonely, And long for heaven, heaven and home, When, when Jesus is my portion, My constant Friend is He; Oh, oh-oh, his eye is on the sparrow, And I know He watches me.

LOVE LIFTED ME
I was sinking deep in sin Far from the peaceful shore Very deeply stained within Sinking to rise no more But the Master of the sea Heard my despairing cry From the waters lifted me Now safe am I
Love lifted me! Love lifted me! When nothing else could help Love lifted me!
Love lifted me! Love lifted me! When nothing else could help Love lifted me!
Souls in danger look above Jesus completely saves He will lift you by His love Out of the angry waves He’s the master of the sea Billows His will obey He your savior wants to be Be saved today
(repeat chorus)
IT IS NO SECRET
The chimes of time ring out the news another day is through Someone slipped and fell was that someone you You may have long for added strength your courage to renew Do not be disheartened for I bring hope to you
It is no secret what God can do What He’s done for others he'll do for you With arms wide open He’ll pardon you it is no secret what God can do
THIS IS MY FATHER’S WORLD
This is my Father's world And to my listening ears All nature sings and round me rings The music of the spheres
This is my Father's world I rest me in the thought Of rocks and trees Of skies and seas His hands the wonders wrought
This is my Father’s world Oh let me ne’er forget That though the wrong seems oft so strong God is the ruler yet
This is my Father’s world The battle is not done Jesus who died Shall be satisfied And earth and heaven be one
SOFTLY AND TENDERLY
Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling Calling for you and for me See on the portals He's waiting and watching Watching for you and for me
Come home, come home Ye who are weary come home Earnestly, tenderly Jesus is calling Calling, "O sinner come home"
O for the wonderful love He has promised Promised for you and for me Though we have sinned He has mercy and pardon Pardon for you and for me
(repeat chorus)
JUST A CLOSER WALK WITH THEE
I am weak but Thou art strong Jesus keep me from all wrong I'll be satisfied as long As I walk, let me walk close to Thee
Just a closer walk with Thee Grant it, Jesus, is my plea Daily walking close to Thee Let it be, dear Lord, let it be
When this feeble life is o’er Time for me will be no more Guide me gently, safely o’re To Thy kingdom shore To Thy shore
(repeat chorus)
HOW GREAT THOU ART
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
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
When Christ shall come with shout of acclamation And lead me home, what joy shall fill my heart Then I shall bow with humble adoration And then proclaim, my God, how great Thou art
(repeat chorus) CHURCH IN THE WILDWOOD
There’s a church in the valley by the wildwood No lovelier spot in the dale No place is so dear to my childhood As the little brown church in the vale
(oh come, come, come, come) Come to the church by the wildwood Oh, come to the church in the vale No spot is so dear to my childhood As the little brown church in the vale
How sweet on a clear Sabbath morning To listen to the clear ringing bells It's tones so sweetly are calling Oh, come to the church in the vale
(repeat chorus)
THE OLD RUGGED CROSS
On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross The emblem of suffering and shame And I love that old cross where the dearest and best For a world of lost sinners was slain
So I'll cherish the old rugged cross Till my trophies at last I lay down And I will cling to the old rugged cross And exchange it some day for a crown
Oh the old rugged cross So despised by the world Has a wondrous attraction for me For the dear Lamb of God Left His glory above To bear it to dark Calvary
(repeat chorus)
AMAZING GRACE
Amazing grace, How sweet the sound That saved a wretch like me. I once was lost, but now I am found, Was blind, but now I see.
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.
BRINGING IN THE SHEAVES
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.
Sowing in the sunshine, sowing in the shadows, 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.
(repeat chorus)
NEARER MY GOD TO THEE
Nearer, my God, to thee, Nearer to thee! E'en though it be a cross That raiseth me.
Still all my song shall be Nearer, my God, to thee, Nearer, my God, to thee, Nearer to thee!
Though like the wanderer, The sun gone down, Darkness be over me, My rest a stone,
Angels to beckon me Nearer, my God, to thee, Nearer, my God, to thee, Nearer to thee!
FILL MY CUP LORD
Like the woman at the well, I was seeking For things that could not satisfy. And then I heard my Savior speaking— "Draw from My well that never shall run dry."
Fill my cup, Lord; I lift it up Lord; Come and quench this thirsting of my soul. Bread of Heaven, feed me till I want no more. Fill my cup, fill it up and make me whole.
So my brother if the things that this world gives you Leave hungers that won't pass away, My blessed Lord will come and save you If you kneel to Him and humbly pray—
(repeat chorus)
THY WORD
Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path When I feel afraid Think I've lost my way Still you're there right beside me And nothing will I fear As long as you are near Please be near me to the end Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path
I’LL FLY AWAY
Some glad mornin' when this life is over I'll fly away To a home on God's celestial shore I'll fly away
I'll fly away, oh, glory I'll fly away When I die, Hallelujah, by and by I'll fly away
Just a few more weary days and then I'll fly away To a land where joy shall never end I'll fly away
(repeat chorus)
GREAT IS THEY FAITHFULNESS
"Great is Thy faithfulness, " O God my Father, There is no shadow of turning with Thee; Thou changest not, Thy compassions, they fail not As Thou hast been Thou forever wilt be.
"Great is Thy faithfulness!" "Great is Thy faithfulness!" Morning by morning new mercies I see; All I have needed Thy hand hath provided— "Great is Thy faithfulness, " Lord, unto me!
Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth, Thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide; Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow, Blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside!
(repeat chorus)
HIS NAME IS WONDERFUL
His name is wonderful His name is wonderful His name is wonderful Jesus my Lord. He is the mighty King Master of everything His name is wonderful Jesus my Lord. He's the Great Shepherd The Rock of all ages Almighty God is He Bow down before Him Love and adore Him His name is wonderful Jesus my Lord.
