Charles Wesley Refrain: O for a thousand tongues to sing Just as I am, and waiting not, Oh! precious is the flow My great Redeemer's praise, To rid my soul of one dark blot, That makes me white as snow; The glories of my God and King, To Thee whose blood can cleanse each spot, No other fount I know, The triumphs of His grace. O Lamb of God, I come! I come! Nothing but the blood of Jesus. My gracious Master and my God, Just as I am, tho' tossed about For my pardon, this I see, Assist me to proclaim, With many a conflict, many a doubt, Nothing but the blood of Jesus; To spread through all the earth abroad Fightings and fears within, without, For my cleansing this my plea, The honors of Thy name. O Lamb of God, I come! I come! Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

Living, He loved me; dying, He saved me; Under the shadow of Thy throne, My heart restores its borrowed ray, Buried, He carried my sins far away; Thy saints have dwelt secure; That in Thy sunshine's blaze its day Rising, He justified, freely forever: Sufficient is Thine arm alone, May brighter, fairer be. One day He’s coming—O glorious day! And our defense is sure. O Joy that seekest me through pain, One day they led Him up Calvary’s mountain, Before the hills in order stood, I cannot close my heart to Thee; One day they nailed Him to die on the tree; Or earth received her frame, I trace the rainbow through the rain, Suffering anguish, despised and rejected; From everlasting Thou art God, And feel the promise is not vain Bearing our sins, my Redeemer is He. To endless years the same. That morn shall tearless be.
A thousand ages in Thy sight One day they left Him alone in the garden, O Cross that liftest up my head, Are like an evening gone; One day He rested, from suffering free; I dare not ask to fly from Thee; Short as the watch that ends the night Angels came down o’er His tomb to keep vigil; I lay in dust life's glory dead, Before the rising sun. Hope of the hopeless, my Savior is He. And from the ground there blossoms red, Time, like an ever-rolling stream, Life that shall endless be. One day the grave could conceal Him no longer, Bears all its sons away; One day the stone rolled away from the door; They fly, forgotten, as a dream O THE DEEP, DEEP LOVE OF JESUS Then He arose, over death He had conquered; Dies at the op’ning day. O the deep, deep love of Jesus, Vast, unmeasured, Now is ascended, my Lord evermore. bound-less free! O God our help in ages past, Rolling as a mighty ocean In its fullness over me. One day the trumpet will sound for His coming, Our hope for years to come, Underneath me, all around me, is the current of One day the skies with His glory will shine; Be Thou our guard while life shall last, Thy love; Wonderful day, my beloved ones bringing; And our eternal home. Leading onward, leading homeward, to my Glorious Savior, this Jesus is mine! glorious rest above. O LOVE THAT WILL NOT LET ME GO Chorus: O Love that will not let me go, O the deep, deep love of Jesus, Spread His praise I rest my weary soul in Thee; O GOD, OUR HELP IN AGES PAST from shore to shore! I give Thee back the life I owe, Ps 90:1-5 How He loveth, ever loveth, Changeth never, That in Thine ocean depths its flow nevermore. O God, our help in ages past, May richer, fuller be. How He watches o'er His loved ones, Died to call Our hope for years to come, them all His own; Our shelter from the stormy blast, O Light that followest my way How for them He interceedeth, Watches o'er And our eternal home!

(Ch) The latent Godhead lay; On a hill far away Infant of days He here became, Stood an old rugged cross, LEAD ON, O KING ETERNAL And bore the mild Immanuel’s name. The emblem of suffering and shame; Lead on, O King Eternal, And I love that old cross Till sin's fierce war shall cease, See in that infant’s face Where the dearest and best And holiness shall whisper The depths of deity, For a world of lost sinners was slain. The sweet amen of peace. And labor while ye gaze For not with swords, loud clashing, To sound the mystery Ch: Nor roll of stirring drums-- In vain; ye angels gaze no more, So I'll cherish the old rugged cross With deeds of love and mercy But fall, and silently adore. Till my trophies at last I lay down; The heavenly kingdom comes. I will cling to the old rugged cross, Unsearchable the love And exchange it some day for a crown. Lead on, O King Eternal, That hath the Savior brought; We follow, not with fears; The grace is far above Oh that old rugged cross, For gladness breaks like morning Of men or angels’ thought: So despised by the world, Where'er Thy face appears; Suffice for us that God, we know, Has a wondrous attraction for me; Thy cross is lifted o'er us; Our God, is manifest below. For the dear Lamb of God We journey in its light: Left His glory above The crown awaits the conquest; He deigns in flesh t’appear, To bear it to dark Calvary. (Ch) Lead on, O God of might.

God it is who justifies, Not a blast of hurry only faith the grace applies. Touch the spirit there. (Chorus) One family we dwell in Him, one church above, beneath, Active faith that lives within, Ev’ry joy or trial falleth from above, though now divided by the stream, conquers hell and death and sin, Traced upon our dial the narrow stream of death; hallows whom it first made whole, By the Sun of Love; one army of the living God, forms the Savior in the soul. We may trust Him fully to His command we bow; All for us to do— part of His host have crossed the flood, Let us for this faith contend, They who trust Him wholly and part are crossing now. sure salvation is the end; Find Him wholly true.

A story of truth and mercy, Oh, what peace we often forfeit, Great things He hath taught us, great things He A story of peace and light, Oh, what needless pain we bear, hath done, A story of peace and light. All because we do not carry And great our rejoicing thro’ Jesus the Son; Everything to God in prayer! But purer, and higher, and greater will be Chorus Our wonder, our transport when Jesus we see. For the darkness shall turn to dawning, 2. Have we trials and temptations? And the dawning to noonday bright, Is there trouble anywhere? TURN YOUR EYES UPON JESUS And Christ’s great kingdom shall come on earth, We should never be discouraged— Helen Howarth Lemmel (1863-1961) The kingdom of love and light. Take it to the Lord in prayer. O soul, are you weary and troubled? Can we find a friend so faithful, No light in the darkness you see? We’ve a song to be sung to the nations, Who will all our sorrows share? There’s light for a look at the Savior, That shall lift their hearts to the Lord, Jesus knows our every weakness; A song that shall conquer evil, And life more abundant and free. Take it to the Lord in prayer. And shatter the spear and sword, Chorus: Turn your eyes upon Jesus, And shatter the spear and sword. 3. Are we weak and heavy-laden, Look full in His wonderful face, Cumbered with a load of care? We’ve a message to give to the nations, And the things of earth will grow strangely Precious Savior, still our refuge— That the Lord who reigneth above dim, Take it to the Lord in prayer. Hath sent His Son to save us, In the light of His glory and grace. Do thy friends despise, forsake thee? And show us that God is love, Take it to the Lord in prayer! And show us that God is love. Through death into life everlasting In His arms He’ll take and shield thee, He passed, and we follow Him there; We’ve a Savior to show to the nations, Thou wilt find a solace there. O’er us sin no more hath dominion Who the path of sorrow hath trod, 4. Blessed Savior, Thou hast promised For more than conqu’rors we are! That all of the world’s great peoples Thou wilt all our burdens bear; His Word shall not fail you, He promised; May come to the truth of God, May we ever, Lord, be bringing Believe Him and all will be well; May come to the truth of God! All to Thee in earnest prayer. Then go to a world that is dying, Soon in glory bright, unclouded, WHAT A FRIEND WE HAVE IN JESUS His perfect salvation to tell! There will be no need for prayer— Joseph M. Scriven, 1855
