Give Me the Bible

 

 1 

Give me the Bible,

star of gladness gleaming,

To cheer the wanderer

lone and tempest tossed,

No storm can hide that 

radiance peaceful beaming

Since Jesus came

to seek and save the lost.

2 

Give me the Bible

when my heart is broken,

When sin and grief have

filled my soul with fear,

Give me the precious

words by Jesus spoken,

Hold up faith’s lamp

to show my Savior near. 

3 

Give me the Bible,

all my steps enlighten,

Teach me the danger

of these realms below,

That lamp of safety,

o’er the gloom shall brighten,

That light alone

the path of peace can show. 

4

Give me the Bible

lamp of life immortal

Hold up that splendor 

by the open grave;

Show me the light from

heaven's shining portal

Show me the glory

gilding Jordan's wave.

Refrain:

Give me the Bible,

holy message shining,

Thy light shall guide me

in the narrow way.

Precept and promise,

law and love combining,

Till night shall vanish

in eternal day.

And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God. ~Luke 4:4

THY LIGHT SHALL GUIDE ME

Psalm 119:105

Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.

LAW AND LOVE COMBINING

Matthew 22

35 Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying, 36 Master, which is the great commandment in the law? 37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. 38 This is the first and great commandment. 39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

TEACH ME THE DANGER OF THESE REALMS BELOW

2 Timothy 3:1

This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.

THE GLORY GILDING JORDAN'S WAVE

Revelation 14:13

And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them.

Stepping In the Light

1 

Trying to walk in the steps of the Saviour,

Trying to follow our Saviour and King;

Shaping our lives by His blessed example,

Happy, how happy, the songs that we bring.

2 

Pressing more closely to Him who is leading,

When we are tempted to turn from the way;

Trusting the arm that is strong to defend us,

Happy, how happy, our praises each day.

3 

Walking in footsteps of gentle forbearance,

Footsteps of faithfulness, mercy and love;

Looking to Him for the grace freely promised,

Happy, how happy, our journey above!

4 

Trying to walk in the steps of the Saviour,

Upward, still upward, we'll follow our Guide;

When we shall see Him, “the King in His beauty,”

Happy, how happy, our place at His side!

Refrain:

How beautiful to walk in the steps of the Saviour,

Stepping in the light, stepping in the light;

How beautiful to walk in the steps of the Saviour,

Led in paths of light!

For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light: (For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth.) ~Ephesians 5:8-9

* * *

Colossians 2:6

As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him:

1 John 1:7

But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.

Isaiah 33:16-17

He shall dwell on high: his place of defence shall be the munitions of rocks: bread shall be given him; his waters shall be sure. Thine eyes shall see the king in his beauty: they shall behold the land that is very far off.

Tell Me the Story of Jesus

1 

Tell me the story of Jesus.

Write on my heart every word!

Tell me the story most precious,

Sweetest that ever was heard.

Tell how the angels in chorus

Sang, as they welcomed His birth,

“Glory to God in the highest,

Peace and good tidings to earth.”

2 

Fasting alone in the desert,

Tell of the days that He passed;

How He was tried and was tempted,

Yet was triumphant at last.

Tell of the years of His labours,

Tell of the sorrows He bore;

He was despised and afflicted,

Homeless, rejected, and poor.

3 

Tell of the cross where they nailed Him,

Dying in anguish and pain;

Tell of the grave where they laid Him;

Tell how He liveth again.

Love, in that story so tender,

Clearer than ever I see;

Stay, let me weep while you whisper,

Love paid the ransom for me.

Refrain:

Tell me the story of Jesus,

Write on my heart every word,

Tell me the story most precious,

Sweetest that ever was heard.

For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard. ~Acts 4:20

Luke 2:12-14

And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.

Luke 4:1-2

And Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost returned from Jordan, and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness, being forty days tempted of the devil. 

Isaiah 53:3-5

He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not. Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.

Acts 10:38-43

How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him. And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in the land of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they slew and hanged on a tree: Him God raised up the third day, and shewed him openly; Not to all the people, but unto witnesses chosen before God, even to us, who did eat and drink with him after he rose from the dead. And he commanded us to preach unto the people, and to testify that it is he which was ordained of God to be the Judge of quick and dead. To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.

1 John 2:2

And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.

Romans 2:14-15

For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves: Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts.

Luke 10:38-42

Now it came to pass, as they went, that he entered into a certain village: and a certain woman named Martha received him into her house. And she had a sister called Mary, which also sat at Jesus' feet, and heard his word. But Martha was cumbered about much serving, and came to him, and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? bid her therefore that she help me. And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things: But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her.

To the Work

 

1 

To the work! to the work! we are servants of God,

Let us follow the path that our Master has trod;

With the balm of His counsel our strength to renew,

Let us do with our might what our hands find to do.

2 

To the work! to the work! let the hungry be fed;

To the fountain of life let the weary be led;

In the cross and its banner our glory shall be,

While we herald the tidings, "Salvation is free!"

3 

To the work! to the work! there is labor for all;

For the kingdom of darkness and error shall fall;

And the name of Jehovah exalted shall be,

In the loud-swelling chorus, "Salvation is free!"

4 

To the work! to the work! in the strength of the Lord,

And a robe and a crown shall our labor reward;

When the home of the faithful our dwelling shall be,

And we shout with the ransomed, "Salvation is free!"

Refrain:

Toiling on, toiling on,

Toiling on, toiling on:

Let us hope, let us watch,

And labor till the Master comes.

Whatever your task, work heartily, as serving the Lord and not men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward; you are serving the Lord Christ.

~Colossians 3:23-24

What a Friend We Have in Jesus

  1

What a Friend we have in Jesus,

  All our sins and griefs to bear!

What a privilege to carry

  Everything to God in prayer!

O what peace we often forfeit,

  O what needless pain we bear,

All because we do not carry

  Everything 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 every 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.

Lyrics: Joseph Scriven

Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need. ~Hebrews 4:16

John 15:13-16

Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you. Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you. Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.

1 Thessalonians 5:17

Pray without ceasing.

John 14:1

Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.

John 14:27

Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

Proverbs 18:24

A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother.

Ephesians 3:20-21

Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.

Philippians 4:6-7

Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

James 4:2

Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not.

Take the Name of Jesus With You

 

1 

Take the name of Jesus with you,

Child of sorrow and of woe.

It will joy and comfort give you,

Take it then where'er you go.

2 

Take the name of Jesus ever

As a shield from ev'ry snare.

If temptations 'round you gather,

Breathe that holy name in prayer.

3 

O the precious name of Jesus!

How it thrills our souls with joy,

When His loving arms receive us,

And His songs our tongues employ!

4 

At the name of Jesus bowing,

Falling prostrate at His feet,

King of kings, in Heav'n we'll crown Him,

When our journey is complete.

Refrain:

Precious name, O how sweet!

Hope of earth and joy of heaven;

Precious name, O how sweet!

Hope of earth and joy of heaven.

And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him. ~Colossians 3:17

 * * *

Proverbs 18:10

The name of the Lord is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe.

Philippians 2:9-10

Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;

1 Peter 2:7

Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner.

In Gethsemane Alone

1  

Oh, what wondrous love I see,  

Freely shown for you and me,  

By the One Who did atone!  

Just to show His matchless grace,  

Jesus suffered for the race,  

In Gethsemane, alone.  

2  

“Tarry here,” He told the three,  

“Tarry here and watch for Me,”  

But they heard no bitter moan;  

For the three disciples slept  

While my loving Savior wept  

In Gethsemane, alone.  

3  

Long in anguish deep was He,  

Weeping there for you and me,  

For our sin to Him was known;  

We should love Him evermore  

For the anguish that He bore  

In Gethsemane, alone.    

Refrain:  

Oh, what love, matchless love,  

Oh, what love for me was shown!  

His forever I will be,  

For the love He gave to me,  

When He suffered all alone.

Here's a little different twist to this old song... The background singers are singing it as written, the same way we sang it in church.

Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called Gethsemane, and saith unto the disciples, Sit ye here, while I go and pray yonder. ~Matthew 26:36

Matthew 26:36 

Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called Gethsemane, and saith unto the disciples, Sit ye here, while I go and pray yonder. 37 And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and very heavy. 38 Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with me. 39 And he went a little farther, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt. 40 And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them asleep, and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour? 41 Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. 42 He went away again the second time, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if this cup may not pass away from me, except I drink it, thy will be done. 43 And he came and found them asleep again: for their eyes were heavy. 44 And he left them, and went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words. 45 Then cometh he to his disciples, and saith unto them, Sleep on now, and take your rest: behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.
