Jesus on the sea

Author: James Challen Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: They were toiling all the night Refrain First Line: Jesus, the Master, comes walking the sea Lyrics: 1 They were toiling all the night, 'Mid the tempest on the sea, And the Master was alone upon the shore, And the waves were rolling high, On the stormy Galilee, As with weary hand they piled the lab'ring oar. Chorus: Jesus, the Master, comes walking the sea, Hushing to silence that wild Galilee; Yes, it is Jesus, the dear, blessed Jesus, Jesus, the Savior, is walking the sea. 2 When in danger and in doubt, And the storm was at its height, And they knew not that the Savior was at hand, Then about the Morning Watch, He came walking on the sea, To bring the weary toilers to the land. [Chorus] 3 "Do not fear," He cried aloud; "Cheer up," friends, "for it is I;" As He walked upon the waves, and kindly spoke, And the winds were hushed to sleep, For He calmed both sea and sky, At His word the mighty tempest quickly broke. [Chorus] 4 So in sadness and in grief, When we're filled with anxious fear, And the darkness gathered on thy troubled way, 'Tis thy Savior walks the deep, And He always will be near, For His presence is thy safety night and day. [Chorus] Scripture: Mark 6:48 Used With Tune: [They were toiling all the night]

Waiting and watching

Appears in 20 hymnals First Line: When my final farewell to the world I have said Refrain First Line: Be waiting and watching for me? Lyrics: 1 When my final farewell to the world I have said, And gladly lie down to my rest; When softly the watchers shall say, "He is dead," And fold my pale hands o'er my breast; And when, with my glorified vision at last The walls of "That City" I see, Will any one then at the beautiful gate, Be waiting and watching for me? Chorus: Be waiting and watching for me? Be waiting and watching for me? Will any one then at the beautiful gate, Be waiting and watching for me? 2 There are little ones glancing about in my path, In want of a friend and a guide; There are dear little eyes looking up into mine, Whose tears might be easily dried; But Jesus may beckon the children away In the midst of their grief and their glee-- Will any one then at the beautiful gate, Be waiting and watching for me? Chorus: Be waiting and watching for me? Be waiting and watching for me? Will any one then at the beautiful gate, Be waiting and watching for me? 3 There are old and forsaken who linger awhile In homes which their dearest have left; And a few gentle words or an action of love May cheer their sad spirits bereft; But the Reaper is near to the long-standing corn, The weary will soon be set free— Will any one then at the beautiful gate, Be waiting and watching for me? Chorus: Be waiting and watching for me? Be waiting and watching for me? Will any one then at the beautiful gate, Be waiting and watching for me? 4 Oh, should I be brought there by the bountiful grace Of Him who delights to forgive; Though I bless not the weary about in my path, Pray only for self while I live,-- Methinks I should mourn o'er my sinful neglect, If sorrow in heaven could be, Should no one I love at the beautiful gate, Be waiting and watching for me. Chorus: Be waiting and watching for me; Be waiting and watching for me; Should no one I love at the beautiful gate, Be waiting and watching for me. Used With Tune: [When my final farewell to the world I have said]

Chorus: In that bright, beautiful heaven, bright, beautiful heaven, Home where the pilgrim forever shall rest, Bright, beautiful heaven. 2 There hope's sweet flowers eternal bloom, While seasons come and go, Untouched by sorrow's chilling winds, That blight us here below, There limpid waters, bright and clear, Flow o'er the golden sands, While thrilling music strikes the ear From harps in angels' hands.

From every stormy wind

Author: Stowell Appears in 1,304 hymnals First Line: From every stormy wind that blows Lyrics: 1 From every stormy wind that blows, From every swelling tide of woes, There is a calm, a sure retreat, 'Tis found beneath the mercy-seat. 2 There is a place where Jesus sheds The oil of gladness on our heads-- A place of all on earth most sweet, It is the blood-bought mercy-seat. 3 There is a scene where spirits blend, Where friend holds fellowship with friend; Tho' sundered far, by faith they meet Around one common mercy-seat. 4 There, there on eagle wings we soar, And sin and sense molest no more; And heav'n comes down our souls to greet, And glory crowns the mercy-seat.

"I's lootin' out for you"

Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: My little darling used to stand Refrain First Line: I's lootin' out for you Lyrics: 1 My little darling used to stand Just by my cottage door; Waiting to kiss me when I came Each evening from the store; Her eyes were like two lovely stars, That shine in heav'n's own blue; "Papa," she'd call, "you see I's here, I's lootin' out for you." Chorus: "I's lootin' out for you, I's lootin out for you, Papa, you see, your darling's here, I's lootin' out for you." 2 She was my joy, my heart's delight, In those days long gone by; But as I'm dreaming o'er the past, A tear comes in my eye; She calls no more when I come home, As oft she used to do; "Papa," you see your darling's here, I's lootin' out for you." [Chorus] 3 Alas! how lonely now our life, As through the world we roam, Since not sweet voice calls out to me, To bid me welcome home. No loving arms thrown round me now, No eyes so sweetly blue, No voice now calls from cottage door, "I's lootin' out for you." [Chorus] 4 Yet oh, what comfort to my heart, That when I'm called away From toils below to joys above, In heaven's eternal day; That there she'll meet me at the gate, Just as I'm passing thro', "Papa," she'll call, with her sweet voice, "I's lootin' out for you." [Chorus] Used With Tune: [My little darling used to stand]
