O WHAT A WONDERFUL SAVIOUR

O what a wonderful Savior
In Jesus, my Lord, I have found!
Tho’ I had sins without number,
His grace unto me did abound.

His grace aboundeth more.
His grace aboundeth more.
Tho’ sin abounded in my heart,
His grace aboundeth more.

When a poor sinner He found me;
No goodness to offer had I.
Often His law I had broken
And merited naught but to die.

RENEWING GRACE

Lord, stamp thine image on my heart,
Its powers by grace renew ;
My understanding fill with light,
My stubborn will subdue.


Draw my desires to things above,
And off from things below;
Cause me to know thy holy will,
And practice what I know.


Grant me those tokens of thy love,
I never had before ;
No more let fear perplex my mind,
And sin bear rule no more.

OPEN MY EYES

Open my eyes, that I may see 
Glimpses of truth Thou hast for me; 
Place in my hands the wonderful key 
That shall unclasp and set me free. 

Silently now I wait for Thee,
Ready my God, Thy will to see;
Open my eyes, illumine me,
Spirit Divine!

Open my ears that I may hear
Voices of truth Thou sendest clear;
And while the wavenotes fall on my ear,
Everything false will disappear.

Open my mouth and let be bear
Tidings of mercy everywhere;
Open my heart and let me prepare
Love with Thy children thus to share.

LORD WHEN I COUNT THY MERCIES

Lord, when I count thy mercies o'er,
They strike me with surprise;
Not all the sands that spread the shore
To equal numbers rise.


My flesh with fear and wonder stands,
The product of thy skill;
And hourly blessings from thy hands
Thy thoughts of love reveal.


These on my heart by night I keep;
How kind, how dear to me!
O may the hour that ends my sleep
Still find my thoughts with thee!

LOVE DIVINE

Love divine, all love’s excelling,
Joy of heaven, to earth come down,
Fix in us Thy humble dwelling,
All Thy faithful mercies crown:
Jesus, Thou art all compassion,
Pure, unbounded love Thou art;
Visit us with Thy salvation,
Enter every trembling heart.


Breathe, O breathe Thy loving Spirit,
Into every troubled breast;
Let us all in Thee inherit,
Let us find Thy promised rest;
Take away the love of sinning,
Alpha and omega be;
End of faith, as it ‘s beginning,
Set our hearts at liberty.

SUBMISSION

Trials when in mercy sent,
Coming from a Father’s hand,
Bid us banish discontent,
Humbly bow at his command:
Let us then submissive prove,
Own the strokes were sent in love.


Are we chastened day by day,
Do we languish through the night;
All these sorrows pave the way,
For enjoyment and delight:
Let us then submissive learn,
Our true interest to discern.


In that world where Jesus reigns,
Troubles never can assail;
Streams no more o’erflow the plains,
Where incessant joys prevail:
Let us then submissive prove,
Looking to that world above.

EVEN JOSEPH WHO HAD ONCE BEEN SOLD

E'en Joseph, who had once been sold
to live a slave in woe;
Whose feet they hurt in stocks, whose soul
the iron pierced into.


Until the time came, when his cause
was known apparently,
The mighty word of God the Lord
his innocence did try.


The king sent and delivered him
from prison where he was,
The ruler of the people then
did freely let him pass;

WHAT A FRIEND

What a friend we have in Jesus, 

All our sins and griefs to bear! 

What a privilege to carry 

Everything to God in prayer! 

O what peace we often forfeit,

O what needless pain we bear-

All because we do not carry

Everything to God in prayer.

Are we weak and heavy-laden,

Cumbered with a load of care?

Jesus only is our refuge,

Take 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 thee,

thou wilt find a solace there.

NOW GRACIOUS LORD THINE ARM REVEAL

Now, gracious Lord, thine arm reveal,
And make thy glory known;
Now let us all they presence feel,
And soften hearts of stone.



Help us to venture near thy throne,
And plead a Saviour's name;
For all that we can call our own
Is vanity and shame.



Send down thy Spirit from above,
The saints may love thee more;
And sinners now may learn to love,
Who never loved before.

BLESSED ASSURANCE JESUS IS MINE

Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine: 
O what a foretaste of glory divine! 
Heir of salvation, purchase of God; 
Born of His Spirit, washed in His blood. 

This is my story, this is my song,
Praising my Saviour all the day long.
This is my story, this is my song,
Praising my Saviour all the day long.


Perfect submission, all is at rest,
I in my Saviour am happy and blest;
Watching and waiting, looking above,
Filled with His goodness, lost in His love.

BEHOLD THE BRIDEGROOM COMETH

Behold the Bridegroom cometh in 
The middle of the night, 
And blest is he whose loins are girt, 
Whose lamp is burning bright; 
But woe to that dull servant, whom
The Master shall surprise
With lamp untrimmed,
unburning and
With slumber in his eyes.

Beware, my soul; beware, beware,
Lest thou in slumber lie,
And like, the five, remain without,
And knock, and vainly cry;
But watch, and bear
thy lamp undimmed,
And Christ shall gird thee on
His own bright wedding robe of light—
The glory of the Son.

I NEED THEE EVERY HOUR

I need Thee every hour,
Most gracious Lord:
No tender voice like Thine
Can peace afford.

I need Thee, O I need Thee;
Every hour I need Thee;
O bless me now, my Saviour!
I come to Thee. 


I need Thee every hour;
Stay Thou near by;
Temptations lose their power
When Thou art nigh.

GOD'S ALMIGHTY PLAN

O God, by whose almighty plan

First order out of chaos stirred,

And life, progressive at your word,

Matured through nature up to man;

Grant us in light and love to grow,

Your sovereign truth to seek and know.

O Holy Spirit, by whose grace 

Our skills abide, our wisdom grows,

In every healing work disclose

New paths to probe, new thoughts to trace.

Grant us your wisest way to go

In all we think, or speak, or do.

SELF-EXAMINATION

Does the old nature still remain,
Or am I formed anew?
What are my leading principles,
The ends which I pursue?


Do I with undiverted feet,
Press forward in the road,
Where only solid peace is found,
Which leads direct to God?


Great God, without thine influence,
Myself I cannot know;
Light thou thy candle in my heart,
And search me through and through.

O GOD TO KNOW THAT THOU ART JUST

O God, to know that Thou art just
Gives hope and peace within;
We could not in a mercy trust
Which takes no count of sin.


Well did I know the tender Heart
I outraged by my sin,
Yet with the world I would not part,
Nor reign my passions in.


My fault it was, O Lord, most high,
And not my fate alone:
Thou canst not suffer sin, nor I
In any way atone.


Yet there’s a plea that I may trust—
Christ died that I might live!
Cleanse me, my God, for Thou art just;
Be faithful, and forgive.

STRENGTH TO WORKERS ARMS

Almighty Father of all things that be,
Our life, our work, we consecrate to thee,
Whose heavens declare
thy glory from above,
Whose earth below is witness to thy love.


Thou dost the strength
to worker’s arms impart;
From thee the skilled musician’s subtle art;
The grace of poet’s pen or painter’s hand
Portrays the loveliness of sea and land.


For well we know this weary, fallen earth
Is yet thine own by right of its new birth, 
Since that great cross upreared on Calvary
An Easter’s power redeemed it,
Lord, for thee.

HE SET ME FREE

My soul is filled with joy and gladness
Since Jesus came to me.
His love has banished all my sadness,
From sin I am set free.

He set me free, He set me free,
I was blind, but hallelujah, now I see!
I shall ne’er forget the day
When He washed my sins away,
And He set, He set me free.


The Comforter divine is dwelling
Within my soul today;
His love to others I am telling
Since Jesus came to stay.

THROUGH THE NIGHT OF DOUBT AND SORROW

Through the night
of doubt and sorrow
Onward goes the pilgrim band,
Singing songs of expectation,
Marching to the promised land.


Clear before us
through the darkness
Gleams and burns the guiding light:
Brother clasps the hand of brother,
Stepping fearless through the night.


One the light of
God’s own presence,
O’er His ransomed people shed,
Chasing far the gloom and terror,
Brightening all the path we tread:

I KNOW THAT MY REDEEMER LIVES

I know that my Redeemer lives,
And ever prays for me;
A token of His love He gives,
A pledge of liberty.


I find him lifting up my head,
He brings salvation near,
His presence makes me free indeed,
And He will soon appear.


He wills that I should holy be,
What can withstand His will?
The counsel of His grace in me
He surely shall fulfill.


Jesus, I hang upon Thy Word;
I steadfastly believe 
Thou wilt return and claim me, Lord
And to Thyself receive,

BREATHE ON ME BREATH OF GOD

Breathe on me, breath of God,
Fill me with life anew,
That I may love what Thou dost love,
And do what thou wouldst do.


Breathe on me, breath of God,
Until my heart is pure,
Until with Thee I will one will,
To do or to endure.


Breathe on me, breath of God,
Till I am wholly Thine,
Until this earthly part of me
Glows with Thy fire divine.

SHOW ME THY FACE

Show me Thy face—
One transient gleam
Of loveliness Divine,
And I shall never think or dream
Of other love save Thine:
All lesser light will darken quite,
All lower glories wane,
The beautiful of earth will scarce
Seem beautiful again.


Show me Thy face—
my faith and love
Shall henceforth fixed be,
And nothing here
have power to move
My soul’s serenity.
My life shall seem a trance, a dream,
And all I feel and see,
Illusive, visionary—
Thou one reality!

THEN CLEAVE TO THE SAVIOUR

We know not the trials before us,
But Jesus takes thought for them all,
And trusting the aid of His counsel,
We never, no, never can fall;
We know not the trials before us,
Or what on the morrow may be,
But sweet is the soul
cheering promise,
“My grace is sufficient for thee.”

Then cleave to the Savior,
cleave to Him,
Whatever the conflict may be,
Remember the
soul cheering promise,
“My grace is sufficient for thee.”


We know not the trials before us,
But why; should we tremble or fear?
The arm of the Lord will protect us,
The ark of His mercy is near;
We know not the trials before us,
Or what our temptations may be,
But stronger than
death is the promise,
“My grace is sufficient for thee.”

Then cleave to the Savior,
cleave to Him,
Whatever the conflict may be,
Remember the
soul cheering promise,
“My grace is sufficient for thee.”
