But with Thee there is forgiveness, That Thy Name may fear command. 3 For Jehovah I am waiting, And my hope is in His word. In His word of promise given; Yea, my soul waits for the Lord. 4 For the Lord my soul is waiting More than watchers in the night, More than thy for morning watching, Watching for the morning light. 5 Hope in God, ye waiting people; Mercies great with Him abound; With the Lord a full redemption From the guilt of sin is found.

Always with Us

Always with us, always with us, Words of cheer, and words of love; Thus the risen Savior whispers, From His dwelling place above. 2. With us when we toil in sadness, Sowing much, and reaping none; Telling us that in the future Golden harvests shall be won. 3. With us when the storm is sweeping, O’er our pathway dark and drear; Waking hope within our bosoms, Stilling every anxious fear. 4. With us in the lonely valley, When we cross the chilling stream; Lighting up the steps to glory With salvation’s radiant beam.

Author: Joseph Hart Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 50 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lamb of God, we fall before Thee, Humbly trusting in Thy Cross. That alone be all our glory; All things else are only dross. 2 Thee we own a perfect Savior, Only Source of all that’s good. Ev'ry grace and ev'ry favor Comes to us thro' Jesus’ blood. 3 Jesus gives us true repentance By His Spirit sent from heav’n; Whispers this transporting sentence, "Son, thy sins are all forgiv’n." 4 Faith He grants us to believe it, Grateful hearts His love to prize; Want we wisdom? He must give it, Hearing ears and seeing eyes. 5 Jesus gives us pure affections, Wills to do what He requires, Makes us follow His directions, And what He commands, inspires. 6 All our prayers and all our praises, Rightly offered in His name-- He that dictates them is Jesus; He that answers is the same. Amen. Topics: The Redeemer Scripture: Hebrews 12:2 Used With Tune: RINGE RECHT
