Sankey Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 308 hymnals Refrain First Line: Yes, I’ll sing the wondrous story Lyrics: 1 I will sing the wondrous story Of the Christ Who died for me; How He left His home in glory For the cross of Calvary. Refrain: Yes, I’ll sing the wondrous story Of the Christ Who died for me, Sing it with the saints in glory, Gathered by the crystal sea. 2 I was lost, but Jesus found me, Found the sheep that went astray, Threw His loving arms around me, Drew me back into His way. [Refrain] 3 I was bruised, but Jesus healed me, Faint was I from many a fall, Sight was gone, and fears possessed me, But He freed me from them all. [Refrain] 4 Days of darkness still come o’er me, Sorrow’s path I often tread, But His presence still is with me; By His guiding hand I’m led. [Refrain] 5 He will keep me till the river Rolls its waters at my feet; Then He’ll bear me safely over, Where the loved ones I shall meet.

Lord, with glowing heart I'd praise thee

Author: Francis Scott Key Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 280 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord, with glowing heart I'd praise thee For the bliss thy love bestows, For the pard'ning grace that saves me, And the peace that from it flows: Help, O God, my weak endeavor; This dull soul to rapture raise: Thou must light the flame, or never Can my love be warmed to praise. 2 Praise, my soul, the God that sought thee, Wretched wand'rer far astray; Found thee lost, and kindly brought thee From the paths of death away: Praise, with love's devoutest feeling, Him who saw thy guilt-born fear, And, the light of hope revealing, Bade the blood-stain'd cross appear. 3 Praise thy Saviour God that drew thee To that cross, new life to give, Held a blood-sealed pardon to thee, Bade thee look to him and live: Praise the grace whose threats alarmed thee, Roused thee from thy fatal ease, Praise the grace whose promise warm'd thee, Praise the grace that whispered peace. 4 Lord, this bosom's ardent feeling Vainly would my lips express; Low before thy footstool kneeling, Deign thy suppliant's pray'r to bless: Let thy love, my soul's chief treasure, Love's pure flame within me raise, And, since words can never measure, Let my life show forth thy praise. Amen.

What a Friend We Have in Jesus

Author: Joseph M. Scriven, 1819-1866 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1,764 hymnals Lyrics: 1 What a Friend we have in Jesus, All our sins and griefs to bear! What a privilege to carry Ev'rything to God in prayer! Oh what peace we often forfeit, Oh what needless pain we bear, All because we do not carry Ev'rything to God in prayer! 2 Have we trials and temptations? Is there trouble anywhere? We should never be discouraged– Take it to the Lord in prayer! Can we find a friend so faithful, Who will all our sorrows share? Jesus knows our ev'ry weakness– Take it to the Lord in prayer! 3 Are we weak and heavy-laden, Cumbered with a load of care? Precious Savior, still 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.

Lord, Through All the Generations

Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 10 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord, through all the generations Of the children of our race, In our fears and tribulations, Thou hast been our dwelling-place. Ere the vast and wide creation By Thy word was cased to be, Or the mountains held their station, Thou art God eternally. 2 Each succeeding generation At Thy mighty word appears; Thou dost count in time's duration One day as a thousand years. Death, with swift and sudden warning, Calls us from life's dream away, Like the grass, green in the morning, Withered ere the close of day. 3 Long the clouds of evil lower; Bless us now with gladsome days; Let Thy servants see Thy power, Let their children learn Thy praise. On us let the grace and beauty Of the Lord our God remain, Strengthen us for noble duty That our work be not in vain.

Hark, the Voice of Jesus Crying

Author: Daniel March, 1816-1909; Unknown Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 514 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Hark, the voice of Jesus crying, "Who will go and work today? Fields are white and harvests waiting-- Who will bear the sheaves away?" Loud and long the Master calleth; Rich reward He offers thee. Who will answer, gladly saying, "Here am I, send me, send me"? 2 If you cannot speak like angels, If you cannot preach like Paul, You can tell the love of Jesus, You can say He died for all. If you cannot rouse the wicked With the judgment's dread alarms, You can lead the little children To the Savior's waiting arms. 3 If you cannot be a watchman, Standing high on Zion's wall, Pointing out the path to heaven, Off'ring life and peace to all, With your prayers and with your bounties You can do what God commands; You can be like faithful Aaron, Holding up the prophet's hands. 4 Let none hear you idly saying, "There is nothing I can do," While the multitudes are dying And the Master calls for you. Take the task He gives you gladly, Let His work your pleasure be; Answer quickly when He calleth, "Here am I, send me, send me!"
