What Cheering Words are These

Author: John Kent, 1766-1843 Hymnal: HOoS1901 #313 (1901) Meter: 6.6.8.6 First Line: What cheering words are these! Lyrics: 1 What cheering words are these! Their sweetness who can tell? In time and to eternal days, "’Tis with the righteous well." 2 In every state secure, Kept by Jehovah’s eye, ’Tis well with them while life endure, And well when called to die. 3 ’Tis well when joys arise; ’Tis well when sorrows flow; ’Tis well when darkness veils the skies, And strong temptations blow. 4 ’Tis well when on the mount They feast on dying love: And ’tis as well in God’s account, When they the furnace prove. 5 'Tis well when Jesus calls, "From earth and sin arise, Join with the hosts of ransomed souls, Made to salvation wise." Amen. Topics: Sanctification Languages: English Tune Title: HOLBORN

Here speaks the Comforter, tenderly saying, Earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot cure. 3 Here see the Bread of Life; see waters flowing Forth from the throne of God, pure from above; Come to the feast of love; come, ever knowing Earth has no sorrow but heaven can remove. Amen. Topics: Sanctification Languages: English Tune Title: COME, YE DISCONSOLATE

Safe in the Arms of Jesus

Hark! ’tis the voice of angels, Borne in a song to me, Over the fields of glory, Over the jasper sea. Chorus: Safe in the arms of Jesus, Safe on His gentle breast, There by His love o’ershaded, Sweetly my soul shall rest. 2 Safe in the arms of Jesus, Safe from corroding care, Safe from the world’s temptations, Sin cannot harm me there. Free from the blight of sorrow, Free from my doubts and fears; Only a few more trials, Only a few more tears! [Chorus] 3 Jesus, my heart’s dear refuge, Jesus has died for me; Firm on the Rock of Ages Ever my trust shall be. Here let me wait with patience, Wait till the night is o’er; Wait till I see the morning Break on the golden shore. [Chorus] Amen.

Wheresoe'er I Roam

Author: Carl Olof Rosenius, 1816-1868 Hymnal: HOoS1901 #316 (1901) First Line: Wheresoe'er I roam through valleys dreary Lyrics: 1 Wheresoe’er I roam through valleys dreary, Over mountains, or in pathless wood, Ever with me is a Friend to cheer me, Warning, comforting as none else could. ’Tis the Shepherd, who once dying, bleeding, Still through all eternity shall live; Following His flock, protecting, feeding, He the tenderest care doth give. Following His flock, protecting, feeding, He the tenderest care doth give. 2 All my needs eternally supplying, All in all to me that Friend shall be; Everything for which my heart is sighing, He perceives, and helps me lovingly. Though I often feel forsaken, lonely, He is ever near, for He did say: "I am with you alway," and this only Gives me courage on my way. "I am with you alway," and this only Gives me courage on my way. 3 Piercéd Heart with love o’erflowing, guide me, Help me through life’s desert find my way; Let my faith, no matter what betide me, Find assurance in Thy wounds for aye. To Thy bosom, for this life is fleeting, Take me, wash my garments in thy blood, And arising may I at Thy meeting Cry with joy: My Lord and God. And arising may I at Thy meeting Cry with joy: My Lord and God. Amen. Topics: Sanctification Languages: English Tune Title: HVAR JAG GÅR

I Would not Live Alway

Author: William Augustus Muhlenberg, 1796-1877 Hymnal: HOoS1901 #317 (1901) Meter: 11.11.11.11 First Line: I would not live alway, I ask not to stay Lyrics: 1 I would not live alway, I ask not to stay Where storm after storm rises dark o'er the way; The few lurid mornings that dawn on us here Are enough for life's woes, full enough for its cheer. 2 I would not live alway, thus fettered by sin, Temptation without, and corruption within: E'en the rapture of pardon is mingled with fears, And the cup of salvation with penitent tears. 3 I would not live alway, no, welcome the tomb: Since Jesus hath lain there, I dread not its gloom; There sweet be my rest, till He bid me arise To hail Him in triumph descending the skies. 4 Who, who would live alway, away from his God? Away from yon heaven, that blissful abode, Where the rivers of pleasure flow o'er the bright plains, And the noontide of glory eternally reigns; 5 Where the saints of all ages in harmony meet, Their Saviour and brethren transported to greet: While the songs of salvation unceasingly roll, And the smile of the Lord is the feast of the soul! Amen. Topics: Death and Resurrection Languages: English Tune Title: FREDERICK

A few More Years Shall Roll

Author: Horatius Bonar, 1808-1889 Hymnal: HOoS1901 #318 (1901) Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1 A few more years shall roll, A few more seasons come, And we shall be with those that rest, Asleep within the tomb: Then, O my Lord, prepare My soul for that great day; Oh, wash me in Thy precious blood, And take my sins away! 2 A few more storms shall beat On this wild rocky shore, And we shall be where tempests cease, And surges swell no more. A few more struggles here, A few more partings o'er, A few more toils, a few more tears, And we shall weep no more. 3 'Tis but a little while And He shall come again, Who died that we might live, who lives That we with Him may reign: Then, O my Lord, prepare My soul for that glad day; Oh, wash me in Thy precious blood, And take my sins away! Amen. Topics: Death and Resurrection Languages: English Tune Title: CHALVEY

My God, I Know that I Must die

Author: Benjamin Schmolck, 1672-1737 Hymnal: HOoS1901 #319 (1901) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 My God, I know that I must die: My mortal life is passing hence; On earth I neither hope nor try To find a lasting residence. Then teach me by Thy heavenly grace With joy and peace my death to face. 2 My God, I know not when I die; What is the moment or the hour; How soon the clay may broken lie, How quickly pass away the flower: Then may Thy child preparéd be Through time to meet eternity. 3 My God, I know not how I die; For death has many ways to come, In dark mysterious agony, Or gently as a sleep to some. Just as Thou wilt, if but it be To bring me, blesséd Lord, to Thee! 4 My God, I know not where I die, Where is my grace, beneath what strand; Yet from its gloom I do rely To be delivered by Thy hand. Content, I take what spot is mine, Since all the earth, my Lord, is Thine. 5 My gracious God, when I must die, Oh, bear my happy soul above, With Christ, my Lord, eternally To share Thy glory and Thy love: Then comes it right and well to me, When, where, and how my death shall be.

Lord Jesus Christ, True God and Man

Author: Paul Eber, 1511-1569 Hymnal: HOoS1901 #320 (1901) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Lord Jesus Christ, true Man and God Lyrics: 1 Lord Jesus Christ, true Man and God, Who borest anguish, scorn, the rod, And diedst at last upon the tree, To bring Thy Father's grace for me: I pray Thee, through that bitter woe, Let me, a sinner, mercy know. 2 When comes the hour of failing breath, And I must wrestle, Lord, with death, When from my sight all fades away, And when my tongue no more can say, And when mine ears no more can hear, And when my heart is racked with fear, 3 When all my mind is darkened o'er, And human help can do no more; Then come, Lord Jesus! come with speed, And help me in my hour of need; Lead me from this dark vale beneath, And shorten then the pangs of death. 4 Joyful my resurrection be, Thou in the judgment plead for me, And hide my sins, Lord, from Thy face, And give me life, Lord, by Thy grace! I trust Thee utterly, my Lord, For Thou hast promised in Thy Word! 5 Dear Lord, forgive us all our guilt; Help us to wait until Thou wilt That we depart; and let our faith Be brave, and conquer e'en in death: Firm resting on Thy sacred Word, Until we sleep in Thee, our Lord.

One Sweetly Solemn Thought

Author: Phoebe Cary, 1824-1871 Hymnal: HOoS1901 #321 (1901) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 One sweetly solemn thought Comes to me o’er and o’er; I'm nearer to my home today Than e’er I’ve been before. 2 Nearer my Father’s house, Where many mansions be, Nearer the throne where Jesus reigns, Nearer the crystal sea. 3 Nearer the bound of life Where burdens are laid down, Nearer leaving the cross of grief, Nearer gaining the crown. 4 But lying dark between, And winding through the night, Flows on the deep and unknown stream That leads me to the light. 5 Jesus, perfect my trust, Strengthen my hand of faith, And be Thou near me when I stand Upon the shore of death. Amen. Topics: Death and Resurrection Languages: English Tune Title: GORTON
