WHEN THE SAINTS GO MARCHING IN

Oh, when the saints go marching in,Oh, when the saints go marching in,Lord, how I want to be in that numberWhen the saints go marching in.

Oh, when they gather 'round the Throne,Oh, when they gather 'round the Throne,Lord, how I want to be in that numberWhen they gather 'round the Throne.


Oh, when they crown him King of kings,Oh, when they crown him King of kings,Lord, how I want to be in that numberWhen they crown him King of kings.

Do Lord, O, do Lord, O, do remember me,Do Lord, O, do Lord, O, do remember me,Do Lord, O. do Lord, O. do remember me,Look away beyond the blue.

I’ve got a home in Glory Land that outshines the sun,I’ve got a home in Glory Land that outshines the sun,I’ve got a home in Glory Land that outshines the sun,Look away beyond the blue.


I took Jesus as my Saviour, you take Him too,I took Jesus as my Saviour, you take Him too,I took Jesus as my Saviour, you take Him too,Look away beyond the blue.

THE LORD’S MY SHEPHERD - HE LIVES

The Lord's my Shepherd, I'll not want,He makes me down to lie,In pastures green He leadeth me,The quiet waters by.

He lives, He lives, He lives,I know that my Redeemer lives!He lives, He lives,He lives within my heart!

My soul He doth restore again,And me to walk doth makeWithin the paths of righteousness,Even for His own Name's sake.


Yea, thou I walk in death's dark vale,Yet will I fear none ill;For thou art with me and thy rodAnd staff me comfort still.


5

My table thou hast furnished,In presence of my foes,My head thou dost with oil anoint,And my cup overflows.


Goodness and mercy all my life,Shall surely follow me;And in God's house for evermoreMy dwelling place shall be.



He lives within my heart!He lives within my heart!

AMAZING GRACE

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

‘Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,And grace my fears relievedHow precious did that grace appearThe hour I first believed.

Through many dangers, toils and snaresI have already come.'Tis grace that brought me safe thus far,And grace will lead me home.

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'd first begun.

7

WHISPERING HOPESoft as the voice of an angel Breathing a lesson unheard;Hope, with a gentle persuasion, Whispers her comforting word.Wait till the darkness is over,Wait till the tempest is done;Hope for the sunshine tomorrowAfter the shower is gone.

ChorusWhispering hope,O, how welcome thy voice,Making my heartIn its sorrow rejoice.

If, in the dusk of the twilightDim be the region afar,Will not the deepening darknessBrighten the glimmering star?Then, when the night is upon us,Why should the heart sink away?When the dark midnight is over,Watch for the breaking of day.

HOW GREAT THOU ARTCopyright 1953 Stuart K. Hine, Manna Music Inc.. ASCAP

O Lord my God, when I in awesome wonderConsider all the worlds Thy hands have made,I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder,Thy pow’r throughout the universe displayed!

ChorusThen sings my soul, my Saviour God, to TheeHow great Thou art! How great Thou art!Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to TheeHow great Thou art! How great Thou art!

When through the woods and forest glades I wander,And hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees,When I look down from lofty mountain grandeur,And hear the brook and feel the gentle breeze,

And when I think that God, His Son not sparing,Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it inThat on the cross, my burden gladly bearing,He bled and died to take away my sin!

COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS

When upon life’s billows you are tempest-tossed,When you are discouraged, thinking all is lost,Count your many blessings, name them one by one,And it will surprise you what the Lord has done.

ChorusCount your blessings, name them one by one;Count your blessings, see what God has done;Count your blessings, name them one by one;Count your many blessings see what God has done.

Are you ever burdened with a load of care?Does the cross seem heavy you are called to bear?Count your many blessings every doubt will fly,And you will be singing as the days go by.

When you look at others with their lands and gold,Think that Christ has promised you His wealth untold, Countyour many blessings money cannot buyYour reward in heaven, nor your home on high.

So amid the conflict, whether great or small,Do not be discouraged God is over all;Count your many blessings, angels will attend,Help and comfort give you to your journey’s end.

10

ROCK OF AGES

Rock of ages, cleft for me,Let me hide myself in Thee;Let the water and the blood,From Thy wounded side which flowed,Be of sin the double cure,Save from wrath and make me pure.

Could my tears forever flow,Could my zeal no languor know,These for sin could not atone –Thou must save, and Thou alone.In my hand no price I bring,Simply to Thy cross I cling.

11

KEEP ON THE SUNNY SIDE

There’s a dark and a troubled side of life,But there’s a bright and a sunny side too;Though you meet with the darkness and strife,The sunny side you also may view.

ChorusKeep on the sunny side,Always on the sunny side,Keep on the sunny side of life;It will help us everyday,It will brighten all the wayIf we’ll keep on the sunny side of life.

Oh, the storm and its furies rage todayCrushing hope that we cherish so dear,The cloud and storm will in time pass awayAnd the sun again will shine bright and clear.

Let us greet with a song of hope each dayThough the moment be cloudy or fair,And let us trust in our Saviour always,He’ll keep us everyone in his care.

12

I SAW THE LIGHT

ChorusI saw the light, I saw the light,No more darkness, no more night;Now I’m so happy, no sorrow in sight,Praise the Lord, I saw the light!

I wandered so aimless, life filled with sin,I wouldn’t let my dear Saviour in;Then Jesus came like a stranger in the night,Praise the Lord, I saw the light!

Chorus

Just like the blind man I wandered alone,Weary and fears I claimed for my own;Then like the blind man thatGod gave back his sight,Praise the Lord, I saw the light!

Chorus

I was a fool to wander and stray,Straight is the gate and narrow the way; Now I have traded the wrong for the right,Praise the Lord, I saw the light!

13

I’LL FLY AWAY!

Some bright morning when this life is o’er, I’ll fly away!To that home on God’s Celestial Shore, I’ll fly away!

I’ll fly away, O, Glory, I’ll fly away!When I die, Hallelujah! bye and bye, I’ll fly away!

When the shadows of this life have gone, I’ll fly away!Like a bird from prison walls I’ll fly, I’ll fly away!


O, how glad and happy when we meet, I’ll fly away!No more cold iron shackles on my feet, I’ll fly away!


Just a few more weary days and then, I’ll fly away!To a land where joys will never end, I’ll fly away!


14

HE’S GOT THE WHOLE WORLD

ChorusHe's got the whole world in His hands,He's got the whole world in His hands,He's got the whole world in His hands,He's got the whole world in His hands!

He's got the little bitty baby in His hands,He's got the little bitty baby in His hands,He's got the little bitty baby in His hands,He's got the whole world in His hands!Chorus

He's got you and me, brother, in His hands,He's got you and me, brother, in His hands,He's got you and me, brother, in His hands,He's got the whole world in His hands!Chorus

He's got you and me, sister, in His hands,He's got you and me, sister, in His hands,He's got you and me, sister, in His hands,He's got the whole world in His hands!Chorus

15

SWING LOW, SWEET CHARIOT

Swing low, sweet chariot,Comin' for to carry me Home,Swing low, sweet chariot,Comin' for to carry me Home.

Swing low, sweet chariot,Comin' for to carry me Home,Swing low, sweet chariot,Comin' for to carry me Home.

I looked over Jordan and what did I see?Comin' for to carry me Home,A band of angels comin' after me,Comin' for to carry me Home.

If you get there before I do,Comin' for to carry me Home,Tell all my friends I'm a comin' too,Comin' for to carry me Home.

16

WHAT A FRIEND WE HAVE IN JESUS

What a friend we have in Jesus, All our sins and grief’s to bear!What a privilege to carryEv’rything to God in prayer!

Oh, what peace we often forfeit,Oh, what needless pain we bear,All because we do not carryEv’rything to God in prayer!

Have we trials and temptations?Is there trouble anywhere?We should never be discouragedTake it to the Lord in prayer.Can we find a friend so faithfulWho will all our sorrows share?Jesus knows our every weaknessTake it to the Lord in prayer.

Are we weak and heavy laden,Cumbered with a load of care?Precious Savior, still our refugeTake it to the Lord in prayer.Do thy friends despise, forsake thee?Take it to the Lord in prayer;In His arms He'll take and shield theeThou wilt find a solace there.

17

ABIDE WITH ME

Abide with me fast falls the eventide,The darkness deepens Lord, with me abide.When other helpers fail and comforts flee,Help of the helpless, O, abide with me!

Swift to its close ebbs out life’s little day,Earth’s joys grow dim, its glories pass awayChange and decay in all around I seeO, Thou Who changest not, abide with me!

I need Thy Presence ev’ry passing hourWhat but Thy grace can foil the tempter’s pow’r?Who like Thyself my guide and stay shall be?Through cloud and sunshine, O, abide with me!

18

THE LORD’S MY SHEPHERD

The Lord’s my Shepherd, I’ll not want,He makes me down to lie.In pastures green, He leadeth meThe quiet waters by.

My soul He doth restore again,And me to walk doth makeWithin the paths of righteousness,E’en for His own name’s sake.Yea, tho’ I walk thru death’s dark vale,Yet will I fear no ill,For Thou art with me, and Thy rod,And staff me comfort still.

My table Thou hast furnished In presence of my foes,My head Thou dost with oil anoint,And my cup overflows.Goodness and mercy all my lifeShall surely follow me,And in God’s house forevermoreMy dwelling place shall be.

19

IN THE GARDEN

I come to the garden aloneWhile the dew is still on the roses,And the voice I hear falling on my earThe Son of God discloses.

ChorusAnd 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 voiceIs so sweet the birds hush their singing,And the melody that He gave to meWithin my heart is ringing.

I’d stay in the garden with HimThough the night around me be falling;But He bids me go through the voice of woe,His voice to me is calling.

20

THE LOVE OF GOD

The love of God is greater farThan tongue or pen can ever tell;It goes beyond the highest starAnd reaches to the lowest hell.The guilty pair bowed down with care,God gave His Son to win;His erring child He reconciledAnd pardoned from all sin.

Oh, love of God, How rich and pure,How measureless and strong;It shall forever more endureThe saints’ and angels’ song.

Could we with ink the ocean fill,And were the skies of parchment made;Were every stock on earth a quill,And every man ascribe by tradeTo write the love of God aboveWould drain the ocean dry,Nor could the scroll contain the whole ,Though stretched from sky to sky.

Oh, love of God, How rich and pure,How measureless and strong;It shall forever more endureThe saints’ and angels’ song.

21

FARTHER ALONG

Tempted and tried we’re all made to wonderWhy it should be thus all the day long,While there are others living about usNever molested though in the wrong

ChorusFarther along we’ll know all about it; Farther along we’ll understand why;Cheer up my brother, live in the sunshine;We’ll understand it all by and by.

When we see Jesus coming in glory,When He comes from His home in the sky,Then we shall meet Him in that bright mansion;We’ll understand it all by and by.

ChorusFarther along we’ll know all about it; Farther along we’ll understand why;Cheer up my brother, live in the sunshine;We’ll understand it all by and by.

22

LEANING ON THE EVERLASTING ARMS

What a fellowship, what a joy divine,Leaning on the everlasting arms;What a blessedness, what a peace is mine,Leaning on the everlasting arms.

Leaning, leaning, safe and secure from all alarms;Leaning, leaning, leaning on the everlasting arms.

O, how sweet to walk in this pilgrim way,Leaning on the everlasting arms;O, how bright the path grows from day to day,Leaning on the everlasting arms.


What have I to dread, what have I to fear,Leaning on the everlasting arms?I have blessed peace with my Lord so near,Leaning on the everlasting arms.


24

UNCLOUDY DAY

Oh, they tell me of a place where my friends have gone,And they tell me of a land far away,And they tell me of a place where no storm clouds fly,Oh, they tell me of an uncloudy day.

ChorusOh, the land of the cloudless day,Oh, the land of an uncloudy skyOh, they tell me of a place where my friends have gone,Oh, they tell me of an uncloudy day.

Oh, they tell me that He smiles on his children’s face,Oh, His smile drives their sorrows away,And they tell me that no tears ever come again,Oh, they tell me of an uncloudy day.

Oh, they tell me of a home far beyond the sky,And they tell me of a home far away,And they tell me of a home where no storm clouds fly,Oh, they tell me of an uncloudy day.
