A Few More Years Shall Roll

Author: Rev. H. Bonar Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 382 hymnals Lyrics: 1. A few more years shall roll, A few more seasons come, And we shall be with those that rest Within their heav'nly home: Then, O my Lord, prepare My soul for that great day; O wash me in Thy precious blood, And take my sins away! 2. A few more storms shall beat On this wild, rocky shore, And we shall be where tempests cease, And surges swell no more. A few more struggles here, A few more partings o'er, A few more toils, a few more tears, And we shall weep no more. 3. 'Tis but a little while And He shall come again, Who died that we might live, who lives That we with Him may reign: Then, O my Lord, prepare My soul for that glad day; O wash me in Thy precious blood, And take my sins away!

Messiah, Prince of Peace

Author: John Wesley; Charles Wesley Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 7 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Messiah, Prince of peace! Where men each other tear, Where war is learned, they must confess, Thy kingdom is not there. Who, prompted by Thy foe, Delight in human blood, Apollyon is their king, we know, And Satan is their god. 2. But shall he still devour The souls redeemed by Thee? Jesus, stir up Thy glorious power And end the apostasy! Come, Savior, from above, O’er all our hearts to reign; And plant the kingdom of Thy love In every heart of man. 3. Then shall we exercise The hellish art no more, While Thou our long-lost paradise Dost with Thyself restore. Fightings and wars shall cease, And, in Thy Spirit giv’n, Pure joy and everlasting peace Shall turn our earth to Heav’n.

I Was a Wandering Sheep

Author: Rev. Horatius Bonar Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 498 hymnals Lyrics: 1 I was a wandering sheep, I did not love the fold; I did not love my Shepherd’s voice, I would not be controlled. I was a wayward child, I did not love my home, I did not love my Father’s voice, I loved afar to roam. 2 The Shepherd sought His sheep, The Father sought His child; They followed me o’er vale and hill, O’er deserts waste and wild. They found me nigh to death, Famished and faint and lone; They bound me with the bands of love, They saved the wandering one. 3 Jesus my Shepherd is; ’Twas He that loved my soul, ’Twas He that washed me in His blood, ’Twas He that made me whole. ’Twas He that sought the lost, That found the wandering sheep; ’Twas He that brought me to the fold, ’Tis He that still doth keep. 4 No more a wandering sheep! I love to be controlled, I love my tender Shepherd’s voice, I love the peaceful fold. No more a wayward child! I seek no more to roam; I love my heavenly Father’s voice, I love, I love His home.
