WHEN THE SAINTS GO MARCHING IN

Oh, when the saints go marching in, Oh, when the saints go marching in, Lord, how I want to be in that number When the saints go marching in. Oh, when they gather 'round the Throne, Oh, when they gather 'round the Throne, Lord, how I want to be in that number When they gather 'round the Throne. Oh, when the saints go marching in, Oh, when the saints go marching in, Lord, how I want to be in that number When the saints go marching in. Oh, when they crown him King of kings, Oh, when they crown him King of kings, Lord, how I want to be in that number When they crown him King of kings. Oh, when the saints go marching in, Oh, when the saints go marching in, Lord, how I want to be in that number When the saints go marching in.

THE LORDS MY SHEPHERD - HE LIVES

The Lord's my Shepherd, I'll not want, He makes me down to lie, In pastures green He leadeth me, The quiet waters by. He lives, He lives, He lives, I know that my Redeemer lives! He lives, He lives, He lives within my heart! My soul He doth restore again, And me to walk doth make Within the paths of righteousness, Even for His own Name's sake. He lives, He lives, He lives, I know that my Redeemer lives! He lives, He lives, He lives within my heart! Yea, thou I walk in death's dark vale, Yet will I fear none ill; For thou art with me and thy rod And staff me comfort still. He lives, He lives, He lives, I know that my Redeemer lives! He lives, He lives, He lives within my heart!

My table thou hast furnished, In presence of my foes, My head thou dost with oil anoint, And my cup overflows. He lives, He lives, He lives, I know that my Redeemer lives! He lives, He lives, He lives within my heart! Goodness and mercy all my life, Shall surely follow me; And in God's house for evermore My dwelling place shall be. He lives, He lives, He lives, I know that my Redeemer lives! He lives, He lives, He lives within my heart! He lives, He lives, He lives, I know that my Redeemer lives! He lives, He lives, He lives within my heart! He lives within my heart! He lives within my heart!

AMAZING GRACE Amazing grace, how sweet the sound, That saved a wretch like me! I once was lost, but now Im found, Was blind, but now I see. Twas grace that taught my heart to fear, And grace my fears relieved How precious did that grace appear The hour I first believed. Through many dangers, toils and snares I have already come. 'Tis grace that brought me safe thus far, And grace will lead me home. When we've been there ten thousand years, Bright shining as the sun, We've no less days to sing God's praise, Than when we'd first begun.

WHISPERING HOPE Soft as the voice of an angel Breathing a lesson unheard; Hope, with a gentle persuasion, Whispers her comforting word. Wait till the darkness is over, Wait till the tempest is done; Hope for the sunshine tomorrow After the shower is gone. Chorus Whispering hope, O, how welcome thy voice, Making my heart In its sorrow rejoice. If, in the dusk of the twilight Dim be the region afar, Will not the deepening darkness Brighten the glimmering star? Then, when the night is upon us, Why should the heart sink away? When the dark midnight is over, Watch for the breaking of day.

HOW GREAT THOU ART

Copyright 1953 Stuart K. Hine, Manna Music Inc.. ASCAP

O Lord my God, when I in awesome wonder Consider all the worlds Thy hands have made, I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder, Thy powr throughout the universe displayed!
Chorus

Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to Thee How great Thou art! How great Thou art! Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to Thee How great Thou art! How great Thou art! When through the woods and forest glades I wander, And hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees, When I look down from lofty mountain grandeur, And hear the brook and feel the gentle breeze, And when I think that God, His Son not sparing, Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in That on the cross, my burden gladly bearing, He bled and died to take away my sin!

COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS

When upon lifes billows you are tempest-tossed, When you are discouraged, thinking all is lost, Count your many blessings, name them one by one, And it will surprise you what the Lord has done. Chorus Count your blessings, name them one by one; Count your blessings, see what God has done; Count your blessings, name them one by one; Count your many blessings see what God has done. Are you ever burdened with a load of care? Does the cross seem heavy you are called to bear? Count your many blessings every doubt will fly, And you will be singing as the days go by. When you look at others with their lands and gold, Think that Christ has promised you His wealth untold, Count your many blessings money cannot buy Your reward in heaven, nor your home on high. So amid the conflict, whether great or small, Do not be discouraged God is over all; Count your many blessings, angels will attend, Help and comfort give you to your journeys end.

ROCK OF AGES Rock of ages, cleft for me, Let me hide myself in Thee; Let the water and the blood, From Thy wounded side which flowed, Be of sin the double cure, Save from wrath and make me pure. Could my tears forever flow, Could my zeal no languor know, These for sin could not atone Thou must save, and Thou alone. In my hand no price I bring, Simply to Thy cross I cling.

KEEP ON THE SUNNY SIDE Theres a dark and a troubled side of life, But theres a bright and a sunny side too; Though you meet with the darkness and strife, The sunny side you also may view. Chorus Keep on the sunny side, Always on the sunny side, Keep on the sunny side of life; It will help us everyday, It will brighten all the way If well keep on the sunny side of life. Oh, the storm and its furies rage today Crushing hope that we cherish so dear, The cloud and storm will in time pass away And the sun again will shine bright and clear. Let us greet with a song of hope each day Though the moment be cloudy or fair, And let us trust in our Saviour always, Hell keep us everyone in his care.

I SAW THE LIGHT

Chorus

I saw the light, I saw the light, No more darkness, no more night; Now Im so happy, no sorrow in sight, Praise the Lord, I saw the light! I wandered so aimless, life filled with sin, I wouldnt let my dear Saviour in; Then Jesus came like a stranger in the night, Praise the Lord, I saw the light! Chorus Just like the blind man I wandered alone, Weary and fears I claimed for my own; Then like the blind man that God gave back his sight, Praise the Lord, I saw the light! Chorus I was a fool to wander and stray, Straight is the gate and narrow the way; Now I have traded the wrong for the right, Praise the Lord, I saw the light!
12

ILL FLY AWAY!

Some bright morning when this life is oer, Ill fly away! To that home on Gods Celestial Shore, Ill fly away! Ill fly away, O, Glory, Ill fly away! When I die, Hallelujah! bye and bye, Ill fly away! When the shadows of this life have gone, Ill fly away! Like a bird from prison walls Ill fly, Ill fly away! Ill fly away, O, Glory, Ill fly away! When I die, Hallelujah! bye and bye, Ill fly away! O, how glad and happy when we meet, Ill fly away! No more cold iron shackles on my feet, Ill fly away! Ill fly away, O, Glory, Ill fly away! When I die, Hallelujah! bye and bye, Ill fly away! Just a few more weary days and then, Ill fly away! To a land where joys will never end, Ill fly away! Ill fly away, O, Glory, Ill fly away! When I die, Hallelujah! bye and bye, Ill fly away!

HES GOT THE WHOLE WORLD Chorus He's got the whole world in His hands, He's got the whole world in His hands, He's got the whole world in His hands, He's got the whole world in His hands! He's got the little bitty baby in His hands, He's got the little bitty baby in His hands, He's got the little bitty baby in His hands, He's got the whole world in His hands! Chorus He's got you and me, brother, in His hands, He's got you and me, brother, in His hands, He's got you and me, brother, in His hands, He's got the whole world in His hands! Chorus He's got you and me, sister, in His hands, He's got you and me, sister, in His hands, He's got you and me, sister, in His hands, He's got the whole world in His hands! Chorus

SWING LOW, SWEET CHARIOT Swing low, sweet chariot, Comin' for to carry me Home, Swing low, sweet chariot, Comin' for to carry me Home. Swing low, sweet chariot, Comin' for to carry me Home, Swing low, sweet chariot, Comin' for to carry me Home. I looked over Jordan and what did I see? Comin' for to carry me Home, A band of angels comin' after me, Comin' for to carry me Home. If you get there before I do, Comin' for to carry me Home, Tell all my friends I'm a comin' too, Comin' for to carry me Home.

15

WHAT A FRIEND WE HAVE IN JESUS

What a friend we have in Jesus, All our sins and griefs to bear! What a privilege to carry Evrything to God in prayer! Oh, what peace we often forfeit, Oh, what needless pain we bear, All because we do not carry Evrything to God in prayer! 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 every weakness Take it to the Lord in prayer. 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.
16

ABIDE WITH ME Abide with me fast falls the eventide, The darkness deepens Lord, with me abide. When other helpers fail and comforts flee, Help of the helpless, O, abide with me! Swift to its close ebbs out lifes little day, Earths joys grow dim, its glories pass away Change and decay in all around I see O, Thou Who changest not, abide with me! I need Thy Presence evry passing hour What but Thy grace can foil the tempters powr? Who like Thyself my guide and stay shall be? Through cloud and sunshine, O, abide with me!

17

THE LORDS MY SHEPHERD The Lords my Shepherd, Ill not want, He makes me down to lie. In pastures green, He leadeth me The quiet waters by. My soul He doth restore again, And me to walk doth make Within the paths of righteousness, Een for His own names sake. Yea, tho I walk thru deaths dark vale, Yet will I fear no ill, For Thou art with me, and Thy rod, And staff me comfort still. My table Thou hast furnished In presence of my foes, My head Thou dost with oil anoint, And my cup overflows. Goodness and mercy all my life Shall surely follow me, And in Gods house forevermore My dwelling place shall be.
18

IN THE GARDEN I come to the garden alone While the dew is still on the roses, And the voice I hear falling on my ear The Son of God discloses. Chorus And He walks with me, and He talks with me, And He tells me I am His own; And the joy we share as we tarry there, None other has ever known. He speaks and the sound of His voice Is so sweet the birds hush their singing, And the melody that He gave to me Within my heart is ringing. Id stay in the garden with Him Though the night around me be falling; But He bids me go through the voice of woe, His voice to me is calling.

19

THE LOVE OF GOD

The love of God is greater far Than tongue or pen can ever tell; It goes beyond the highest star And reaches to the lowest hell. The guilty pair bowed down with care, God gave His Son to win; His erring child He reconciled And pardoned from all sin. Oh, love of God, How rich and pure, How measureless and strong; It shall forever more endure The saints and angels song. Could we with ink the ocean fill, And were the skies of parchment made; Were every stock on earth a quill, And every man ascribe by trade To write the love of God above Would drain the ocean dry, Nor could the scroll contain the whole , Though stretched from sky to sky. Oh, love of God, How rich and pure, How measureless and strong; It shall forever more endure The saints and angels song.
20

FARTHER ALONG Tempted and tried were all made to wonder Why it should be thus all the day long, While there are others living about us Never molested though in the wrong
Chorus

Farther along well know all about it; Farther along well understand why; Cheer up my brother, live in the sunshine; Well understand it all by and by. When we see Jesus coming in glory, When He comes from His home in the sky, Then we shall meet Him in that bright mansion; Well understand it all by and by.
Chorus

Farther along well know all about it; Farther along well understand why; Cheer up my brother, live in the sunshine; Well understand it all by and by.

21

LEANING ON THE EVERLASTING ARMS What a fellowship, what a joy divine, Leaning on the everlasting arms; What a blessedness, what a peace is mine, Leaning on the everlasting arms. Leaning, leaning, safe and secure from all alarms; Leaning, leaning, leaning on the everlasting arms. O, how sweet to walk in this pilgrim way, Leaning on the everlasting arms; O, how bright the path grows from day to day, Leaning on the everlasting arms. Leaning, leaning, safe and secure from all alarms; Leaning, leaning, leaning on the everlasting arms. What have I to dread, what have I to fear, Leaning on the everlasting arms? I have blessed peace with my Lord so near, Leaning on the everlasting arms. Leaning, leaning, safe and secure from all alarms; Leaning, leaning, leaning on the everlasting arms.

UNCLOUDY DAY

Oh, they tell me of a place where my friends have gone, And they tell me of a land far away, And they tell me of a place where no storm clouds fly, Oh, they tell me of an uncloudy day. Chorus Oh, the land of the cloudless day, Oh, the land of an uncloudy sky Oh, they tell me of a place where my friends have gone, Oh, they tell me of an uncloudy day. Oh, they tell me that He smiles on his childrens face, Oh, His smile drives their sorrows away, And they tell me that no tears ever come again, Oh, they tell me of an uncloudy day. Oh, they tell me of a home far beyond the sky, And they tell me of a home far away, And they tell me of a home where no storm clouds fly, Oh, they tell me of an uncloudy day.
