I Will Sing the Wondrous Story

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.

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.

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.

4

Days of darkness still come o'er me,

Sorrow's paths I often tread,

But the Savior still is with me;

By His hand I'm safely led.

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.

CHORUS

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.

And before the throne there was a sea of glass like unto crystal. ~Revelation 4:6

Luke 15: 3-7

And he spake this parable unto them, saying, What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it? And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing. And when he cometh home, he calleth together his friends and neighbours, saying unto them, Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost. I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance.

Faith Is the Victory

 

1

Encamped along the hills of light,

Ye Christian soldiers, rise,

And press the battle ere the night 

Shall veil the glowing skies,

Against the foe in vales below

Let all our strength be hurled;

Faith is the victory, we know,

That overcomes the world.

2

His banner over us is love, 

Our sword the Word of God;

We tread the road the saints above

With shouts of triumph trod,

By faith, they like a whirlwind's breath,

Swept on o'er ev'ry field;

The faith by which they conquered Death

Is still our shining shield.

3

On ev'ry hand the foe we find

Drawn up in dread array;

Let tents of ease be left behind, 

And onward to the fray,

Salvation's helmet on each head,

With truth all girt about,

The earth shall tremble 'neath our tread,

And echo with our shout.

4

To him that overcomes the foe

White raiment shall be giv'n;

Before the angels he shall know

His name confessed in heav'n.

Then onward from the hills of light,

Our hearts with love aflame;

We'll vanquish all the hosts of night

In Jesus' conq'ring name. 

CHORUS

Faith is the victory!

Faith is the victory!

O glorious victory,

That overcomes the world.

1 John 5:4

For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.

Ephesians 6

10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. 11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. 13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; 15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:

Revelation 3:5

He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.

A Wonderful Savior

 

 1  

A wonderful Savior is Jesus my Lord,  

A wonderful Savior to me.  

He hideth my soul in the cleft of the rock,  

Where rivers of pleasure I see.  

2  

A wonderful Savior is Jesus my Lord;  

He taketh my burden away.  

He holdeth me up, and I shall not be moved;  

He giveth me strength as my day.   

3  

With numberless blessings each moment he crowns,  

And filled with his fullness divine,  

I sing in my rapture,“Oh, glory to God  

For such a Redeemer as mine!”  

4  

When clothed in his brightness, transported I rise  

To meet him in clouds of the sky,  

His perfect salvation, his wonderful love,  

I’ll shout with the millions on high.    

Refrain:  

He hideth my soul in the cleft of the rock  

That shadows a dry, thirsty land.  

He hideth my life in the depths of his love,  

And covers me there with his hand.

And it shall come to pass, while my glory passeth by, that I will put thee in a clift of the rock, and will cover thee with my hand while I pass by.

 Exodus 33:17 And the Lord said unto Moses, I will do this thing also that thou hast spoken: for thou hast found grace in my sight, and I know thee by name. 18 And he said, I beseech thee, shew me thy glory. 19 And he said, I will make all my goodness pass before thee, and I will proclaim the name of the Lord before thee; and will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will shew mercy on whom I will shew mercy. 20 And he said, Thou canst not see my face: for there shall no man see me, and live. 21 And the Lord said, Behold, there is a place by me, and thou shalt stand upon a rock: 22 And it shall come to pass, while my glory passeth by, that I will put thee in a clift of the rock, and will cover thee with my hand while I pass by.

Sing To Me of Heaven

 1   

Sing to me of Heaven, sing that song of peace,  

From the toils that bind me it will bring release;  

Burdens will be lifted that are pressing so,  

Showers of great blessing o’er my heart will flow.  

2  

Sing to me of Heaven, as I walk alone,  

Dreaming of the comrades that so long have gone;  

In a fairer region ’mong the angel throng,  

They are happy as they sing that old, sweet song.  

3  

Sing to me of Heaven, tenderly and low,  

Till the shadows o’er me rise and swiftly go;  

When my heart is weary, when the day is long,  

Sing to me of Heaven, sing that old, sweet song.     

Refrain  

Sing to me of Heaven, let me fondly dream,  

Of its golden glory, of its pearly gleam;  

Sing to me when shadows of the evening fall,  

Sing to me of Heaven, sweetest song of all.

Psalm 9:11 

Sing praises to the Lord, which dwelleth in Zion: declare among the people his doings.    

Revelation 21 

1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. 2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. 4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. 5 And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new...   10 And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God, 11 Having the glory of God: and her light was like unto a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal; 12 And had a wall great and high, and had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel: 13 On the east three gates; on the north three gates; on the south three gates; and on the west three gates. 14 And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb. 15 And he that talked with me had a golden reed to measure the city, and the gates thereof, and the wall thereof. 16 And the city lieth foursquare, and the length is as large as the breadth: and he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs. The length and the breadth and the height of it are equal. 17 And he measured the wall thereof, an hundred and forty and four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of the angel.  18 And the building of the wall of it was of jasper: and the city was pure gold, like unto clear glass. 19 And the foundations of the wall of the city were garnished with all manner of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, a chalcedony; the fourth, an emerald; 20 The fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolyte; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, a topaz; the tenth, a chrysoprasus; the eleventh, a jacinth; the twelfth, an amethyst. 21 And the twelve gates were twelve pearls: every several gate was of one pearl: and the street of the city was pure gold, as it were transparent glass.  22 And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it. 23 And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof. 24 And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it. 25 And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be no night there.

Can He Depend On You?

1

Jesus the savior came down from above,

Came to bring mercy and love;

"Crucify him" the mob scornfully cried,

So he on Calvary died.

While on the cross he prayed: Father, forgive,

For they know not what they do."

For us he died that for him we might live.

Can he depend on you?

2

He from the grave on the third day arose,

Missions of man to disclose;

Go preach the gospel, all who will may hear,

Through him be free from all fear;

Bid them believe, to repent and obey,

Walk in the newness of life;

Keep the light glowing to show them the way

Leading from sin and strife.

3

He is preparing in heaven a home,

For all his faithful and own;

Are you preparing to stand by his side,

Or in that day be denied?

Have you told others the story of love,

Showing them what they should do?

These are the precepts that come from above,

Can he depend on you?

Refrain:

Can he depend on you,

His blessed will to do?

Will you be crowned with the faithful and true,

Can he depend on you?

And Pilate answered and said again unto them, What will ye then that I shall do unto him whom ye call the King of the Jews? And they cried out again, Crucify him! Then Pilate said unto them, Why, what evil hath he done? And they cried out the more exceedingly, Crucify him!

Luke 23:32-34

And there were also two other, malefactors, led with him to be put to death. And when they were come to the place, which is called Calvary, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, and the other on the left.

Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.

John 8:28

Then shall ye know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things.

Sweet By and By

 

1 

There's a land that is fairer than day,

And by faith we can see it afar,

For the Father waits over the way

To prepare us a dwelling place there.

2 

We shall sing on that beautiful shore

The melodious songs of the blest;

And our spirits shall sorrow no more-

Not a sigh for the blessing of rest.

3 

To our bountiful Father above

We will offer our tribute of praise

For the glorious gift of His love

And the blessings that hallow our days.

Chorus:

In the sweet by and by,

We shall meet on that beautiful shore;

In the sweet by and by,

We shall meet on that beautiful shore.

1 Corinthians 2:9

I've Just Seen Jesus

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PaE8Gdh_TnQ

We knew he was dead

It is finished, he said

We had watched as his life ebbed away

Then we all stood around

Till the guards took him down

Joseph begged for his body that day

It was late afternoon

When we got to the tomb

Wrapped his body and sealed up the grave

So I know how you feel

His death was so real

But please listen and hear what I say

I've just seen Jesus

I tell you he's alive

I've just seen Jesus

Our precious Lord alive

And I knew, he really saw me too

As if till now, I'd never lived

All that I'd done before

Won't matter anymore

I've just seen Jesus

And I'll never be the same again

It was his voice she first heard

Those kind gentle words

Asking what was her reason for tears

And I sobbed in despair

My Lord is not there

He said, child! it is I, I am here!

I've just seen Jesus

I tell you he's alive

I've just seen Jesus

Our precious lord alive

And I knew, he really saw me too

As if till now, I'd never lived

All that I'd done before

Won't matter anymore

I've just seen Jesus

I've just seen Jesus

I've just seen Jesus

All that I'd done before

Won't matter anymore

I've just seen Jesus

And I'll never be the same again

I've just seen Jesus!
