Crown Him With Many Crowns

1

Crown Him with many crowns

The Lamb upon his throne

Hark how the heavenly anthem drowns

All music but its own

Awake my soul and sing

Of Him who died for thee

And hail Him as thy matchless King

Through all eternity

2

Crown Him the Lord of life

Who triumphed o'er the grave

Who rose victorious in the strife

For those He came to save

His glories now we sing

Who died and rose on high

Who died eternal life to bring

And lives that death may die

3

Crown Him the Lord of peace

Whose pow'r a scepter sways

From pole to pole that wars may cease

Absorbed in prayer and praise

His reign shall know no end

And round his pierced feet

Fair flow'rs of Paradise extend

Their fragrance ever sweet

4

Crown Him the Lord of heav'n

One with the Father known

And the blest Spirit through Him giv'n

From yonder glorious throne

All hail Redeemer hail

For Thou has died for me

Thy praise and glory shall not fail

Throughout eternity

HIS EYES WERE AS A FLAME OF FIRE, AND ON HIS HEAD WERE MANY CROWNS. Revelation 19:112

Come Unto Me

1

O heart bowed down with sorrow!

O eyes that long for sight!

There's gladness in believing;

In Jesus there is light.

2

Earth's fleeting gain and pleasure

Can never satisfy;

'Tis love our joy doth measure,

For love can never die.

3

Divinest consolation

Doth Christ the Healer give;

Art thou in condemnation?

Repent, believe and live.

4

His peace is like a river,

His love is like a song;

His yoke's a burden never;

'Tis easy all day long.

Refrain:

"Come unto me, all ye that labor,

and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me;

for I am meek and lowly in heart:

and ye shall find rest unto your souls."

COME UNTO ME, ALL YE THAT LABOUR AND ARE HEAVY LADEN, AND I WILL GIVE YOU REST. Matthew 11:28

Come to Jesus

1

Come to Jesus, He will save you,

Though your sins as crimson glow,

If you give your heart to Jesus,

He will make it white as snow.

2

Come to Jesus do not tarry,

Enter in at mercy’s gate,

O delay not till the morrow,

Lest Thy coming be too late.

3

Come to Jesus, dying sinner,

Other Savior there is none,

He will share with you His glory,

When your pilgrimage is done.

Refrain

Come to Jesus! Come to Jesus!

Come to Jesus! come today!

Come to Jesus! Come to Jesus!

Come to Jesus! come, come today!

COME NOW, AND LET US REASON TOGETHER, SAITH THE LORD; THOUGH YOUR SINS BE AS SCARLET, THEY SHALL BE AS WHITE AS SNOW. Isaiah 1:18

Church in the Wildwood

1

There's a church in the valley by the wildwood,

No lovelier spot in the dale;

No place is so dear to my childhood

As the little brown church in the vale.

Refrain:

Come to the church in the wildwood,

Oh, come to the church in the vale;

No spot is so dear to my childhood

As the little brown church in the vale.

2

Oh, come to the church in the wildwood,

To the trees where the wild flowers bloom;

Where the parting hymn will be chanted,

We will weep by the side of the tomb.

3

How sweet on a clear Sunday morning,

To list to the clear ringing bell;

Its tones so sweetly are calling,

Oh, come to the church in the vale.

4

From the church in the valley by the wildwood,

When day fades away into night,

I would fain from this spot of my childhood

Wing my way to the mansions of light.

I WAS GLAD WHEN THEY SAID UNTO ME, LET US GO INTO THE HOUSE OF THE LORD. PSALM 122:1

Christ Arose

1

Low in the grave he lay, Jesus my Savior,

waiting the coming day, Jesus my Lord!

2

Vainly they watch his bed, Jesus my Savior,

vainly they seal the dead, Jesus my Lord!

3

Death cannot keep its prey, Jesus my Savior;

he tore the bars away, Jesus my Lord!

Refrain:

Up from the grave he arose;

with a mighty triumph o'er his foes;

he arose a victor from the dark domain,

and he lives forever, with his saints to reign.

He arose! He arose!

Hallelujah! Christ arose!

HE IS NOT HERE, FOR HE IS RISEN. Matthew 28:5

By and By

 

1

Trials dark on ev'ry hand, and we cannot understand

All the ways that God would lead us to that blessed Promised Land;

But He'll guide us with His eye, and we'll follow till we die;

We will understand it better by and by.

CHORUS:

By and by, when the morning comes,

When the saints of God are gathered home,

We will tell the story how we've overcome;

We will understand it better by and by.

2

Oft our cherished plans have failed, disappointments have prevailed,

And we've wandered in the darkness, heavyhearted and alone;

But we're trusting in the Lord, and according to His Word,

We will understand it better by and by.

3

Temptations, hidden snares often take us unawares,

And our hearts are made to bleed for some thoughtless word or deed,

And we wonder why the test when we try to do our best,

But we'll understand it better by and by.

FOR NOW WE SEE THROUGH A GLASS, DARKLY; BUT THEN FACE TO FACE: NOW I KNOW IN PART; BUT THEN SHALL I KNOW EVEN AS ALSO I AM KNOWN. 1 Corinthians 13:12

I'm not sure where I got the version of this song pictured above. The version of the song that was in the Watervliet Church of Christ song book is this one, which has nearly the same tune, and the same chorus, but different lyrics on some of the verses.

Here's a video using the lyrics in this version.

Bringing In the Sheaves

1

Sowing in the morning, sowing seeds of kindness,

Sowing in the noontide and the dewy eve;

Waiting for the harvest, and the time of reaping,

We shall come rejoicing, bringing in the sheaves.

2

Sowing in the sunshine, sowing in the shadows,

Fearing neither clouds nor winter's chilling breeze;

By and by the harvest, and the labor ended,

We shall come rejoicing, bringing in the sheaves.

3

Going forth with weeping, sowing for the Master,

Though the loss sustained our spirit often grieves;

When our weeping's over, He will bid us welcome,

We shall come rejoicing, bringing in the sheaves.

Refrain:

Bringing in the sheaves, Bringing in the sheaves,

We shall come rejoicing, bringing in the sheaves;

Bringing in the sheaves, Bringing in the sheaves,

We shall come rejoicing, bringing in the sheaves.

Author: Knowles Shaw (1874)

THEY THAT SOW IN TEARS SHALL REAP IN JOY. HE THAT GOETH FORTH AND WEEPETH, BEARING PRECIOUS SEED, SHALL DOUBTLESS COME AGAIN WITH REJOICING, BRINGING HIS SHEAVES WITH HIM. PSALM 126:5-6
