One Step More

Author: Anon. Hymnal: JW1878 #81 (1879) First Line: What though before me it is dark Refrain First Line: One step more one step more Lyrics: 1 What though before me it is dark, Too dark for me to see; I ask but light for one step more, 'Tis quite enough for me. Each little humble step I take, The gloom clears from the next; So though 'tis very dark beyond, I never am perplexed. Chorus: One step more one step more, I ask but light for one step more; So tho' 'tis very dark beyond, I ask but light for one step more. 2 And, if sometimes in the mist hangs close, So, close I fear to stray, Patient I wait a little while, And soon it clears away. I would not see my future, For mercy veils it so; My present steps might harder be Did I the future know. [Chorus] 3 Perhaps my path is very short, My journey nearly done, And I might tremble at the thought Of ending it so soon. Or, if I saw a weary length Of road that I must wend, Fainting, I'd say, "My feeble powers Will fail me at the end." [Chorus] 4 And so I do not wish to see My journey and its length, Assured that through my Father's love Each step will bring its strength. Thus step by step I onward go, Not looking far before; Trusting that I shall always have Light for just "one step more." [Chorus] Languages: English Tune Title: [What though before me it is dark]

For Me

Hymnal: JW1878 #82 (1879) First Line: Alas! and did my Savior bleed? Refrain First Line: Jesus died for you Lyrics: 1 Alas! and did my Savior bleed? And did my Sov'reign die? Would he devote that sacred head For such a worm as I? Chorus: Jesus died for you, Jesus died for me, Yes, Jesus died for all mankind, Bless God, salvation's free. 2 Was it for crimes that I have done, He groan'd upon the tree? Amazing pity! grace unknown! And love beyond degree! [Chorus] 3 Well might the sun in darkness hide, And shut his glories in, When Christ, the mighty Maker, died, For man, the creature's sin. [Chorus] 4 Thus might I hide my blushing face While his dear cross appears; Dissolve my heart in thankfulness, And melt mine eyes to tears. [Chorus] 5 But drops of grief can ne'er repay The debt of love I owe: Here, Lord, I give myself away,-- 'Tis all that I can do. [Chorus] Languages: English Tune Title: [Alas! and did my Savior bleed]

There's a Land far Away

Author: J. G. Clark Hymnal: JW1878 #83 (1879) First Line: There's a land far away 'mid the stars we are told Lyrics: 1 There's a land far away 'mid the stars we are told, Where they know not the sorrows of time. Where the pure waters flow, thro' the valleys of gold, And where life is a treasure sublime. 'Tis the land of our God 'tis the home of the soul, Where the ages of splendor eternally roll. Where the way weary traveler reaches his goal, On the ever-green mountains of life. 2 Here our gaze can not soar to that beautiful land, But our visions have told of its bliss; And our souls by the gale from its gardens are fanned, When we faint in the deserts of this. And we sometimes have longed for its holy repose When our hearts have been rent with temptations and woes, And we've drank from the tide of the river that flows From the ever-green mountains of life. 3 Oh the stars never tread the blue heavens at night, But we think where the ransomed have trod; And the day never smiles from his palace of light, But we feel the bright smile of our God. We are traveling home thro' earth's changes and gloom To a region where pleasures unchangingly bloom, And our guide is the glory that shines thro' the tomb, From the ever-green mountains of life.
