Jesus, lover of my soul

Appears in 3,309 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus, lover of my soul, Let me to Thy bosom fly, While the billows near me roll, While the tempest still is high; Hide me, oh, my Savior, hide, Till the storm of life is past, Safe into the haven guide, Oh, receive my soul at last. 2 Other refuge have I none, Hangs my helpless soul on thee! Leave, oh, leave me not alone, Still support and comfort me; All my trust on Thee is stayed, All my help from Thee I bring, Cover my defenseless head With the shadow of Thy wing. 3 Plenteous grace with Thee is found, Grace to pardon all my sins; Let the healing streams abound, Make and keep me pure within. Thou of life the fountain art, Freely let me take of Thee; Spring Thou up within my heart, Rise to all eternity.

When we hear the music ringing

Appears in 98 hymnals Lyrics: 1 When we hear the music ringing In the bright, celestial dome, When sweet angel voices singing, Gladly bid us welcome home To the land of ancient story, Where the spirit knows no care, In that land of light and glory, Shall we know each other there? 2 When the holy angels meet us, As we go to join their band, Shall we know the friends that greet us In that glorious spirit land? Shall we see the same eyes shining On us as in days of yore? Shall we feel their dear arms twining Fondly round us as before? 3 Oh, ye weary, sad, and tossed ones, Droop not, faint not by the way; You shall join the loved and just ones In the land of perfect day. Harp-strings, touched by angel fingers, Murmured, in my raptured ear-- Evermore their sweet song lingers-- We shall know each other there.

We believe

Appears in 112 hymnals First Line: We saw Thee not when Thou didst come Lyrics: 1 We saw Thee not when Thou didst come To this poor world of sin and death; Nor yet beheld Thy cottage home, In that despised Nazareth; Chorus: But we believe Thy footsteps trod Its streets and plains, Thou Son of God; But we believe Thy footsteps trod Its streets and plains, Thou Son of God. 2 We saw Thee not when lifted high, Amid that wild and savage crew; Nor heard we that imploring cry, "Forgive, they know not what they do!" Chorus: But we believe the deed was done, That shook the earth and veiled the sun; But we believe the deed was done, That shook the earth and veiled the sun. 3 We gazed not in the open tomb, Where once Thy mangled body lay; Nor saw Thee in that "upper room," Nor met Thee on the open way; Chorus: But we believe that angels said, "Why seek the living with the dead?" But we believe that angels said, "Why seek the living with the dead?" 4 We walked not with the chosen few Who saw Thee from the earth ascend; Who raised to heaven their wond'ring view, Then low to earth all prostrate bend; Chorus: But we believe that human eyes Beheld that journey to the skies; But we believe that human eyes Beheld that journey to the skies. Scripture: 2 Corinthians 4:13 Used With Tune: [We saw Thee not when Thou didst come]

Our dear little darling

Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: There's a dear little darling with ringlets fair Lyrics: 1 There's a dear little darling with ringlets fair, So sweetly clustering here and there; There are dear little eyes so fair and bright, Just fresh from the glory of heaven's own light. There's a darling to love, with a love so true, And I know whose darling that is--don't you? There's a darling to love with a love so true, And I know whose darling that is--don't you? 2 There are two little lips that have known the bliss, So often already of a mother's kiss; There are two little hands must cling ere long To a mother's own hand so tender and strong. There's a darling with two laughing eyes so blue, And I know whose darling that is--don't you? There's a darling with two laughing eyes so blue, And I know whose darling that is--don't you? 3 There's a dear little bud that God hath given, So pure from the beautiful garden of heaven; With His loving care He must tend His own, Till the bud to the full-grown flower hath blown. But 'tis fading away, it must pass from our view, And I know whose darling that is--don't you? But 'tis fading away, it must pass from our view, And I know whose darling that is--don't you? 4 There's a new-made grave where the flowers bloom, Where our darling now sleeps in the lowly tomb; But its spirit hath gone to the realms of bliss, From the tears and the sorrows of a world like this. There's a darling in heaven--'tis waiting too, And I know whose darling that is--don't you? There's a darling in heaven--'tis waiting too, And I know whose darling that is--don't you? 5 Then lay the little one's garments by, Though wet with the tears from sorrow's eye; Those dear little feet which earth hath trod, Now walk in the golden city of God. There's a darling in heaven to love so true, And I know whose darling that is--don't you? There's a darling in heaven to love so true, And I know whose darling that is--don't you?

Yes, we shall live again, Friends shall all meet again, We shall be happy then, by and by. 2 What will it matter, by and by, By and by? Whether unhelped I toiled alone, Dashing my foot against a stone; Missing the charge of the angel nigh, Bidding me think of the by and by. [Chorus] 3 What will it matter, by and by, By and by? Whether with cheek to cheek I've lain, Close by the pallid angel pain, Soothing myself thro' sob and sigh, All will be elsewise by and by. [Chorus] 4 What will it matter, by and by, By and by? If I'm but sure the way I've trod, Gloomy or gladdened, leads to God; Questioning not of the how or why, If I but reach Him by and by. [Chorus] Used With Tune: [What will it matter, by and by]

Come you sinners

What say the bells?

Shaw Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: With truth in every swinging tongue Refrain First Line: Hear them ringing, hear them ringing Lyrics: 1 With truth in every swinging tongue, The bells ring out today; To Lord's-day school they call the young, Oh, list the words they say,-- The Lord has made this day His own, Then leave the week's employs, Oh, listen to their pleading tones, And put aside your toys. Chorus: Hear them ringing, hear them ringing, List the warning words they say, Time is winging, time is winging, Seek the Savior while you may. Hear them ringing, hear them ringing, List the warning words they say, Time is winging, time is winging, Seek the Savior while you may. 2 If holy we will keep this day, Our strength we shall renew; And God will bless abundantly Whatever we pursue. Our hearts should beat in happy time, And echo still the call Which bids the world with blessed chime At Jesus' feet to fall. [Chorus] 3 As flowers that open fresh at noon, But fold their lives ere night, So, rich with promise, we are born, And drink the early light; But we may prove as frail as they, Those bells may toll our knell, They call us now to praise and pray, Oh, let us heed them well.
