Sing the Sweet Story

Author: Mrs. L. M. Beal Bateman Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Sing, over and over Refrain First Line: Sing, sing the sweet story Lyrics: 1 Sing, over and over, Beautiful story of old, More dear to the spirit, Better the more it is told, Each heart that awakes in this world of woe, Has need of the Saviour of men to know. Chorus: Sing, sing the sweet story, Sing, softly and gently, Sing, sing till its glory, Fills the earth with its glow. 2 Here’s bread for the starving, Warmth to the naked and cold, Life, life to the dying, All in that story of old, The spirit abiding in depths of grief, Shall find in its healing a sure relief. [Chorus] 3 Peace comes to the mourning, Joy that can never be told, All found in believing, Just the sweet story of old, Then sing it again to the slaves of sin, Their steps to the pathway of truth to win. [Chorus] Used With Tune: [Sing, over and over]

The Harbor Light

Author: Fronia Smith Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: O'er the sea that wildly dashes Refrain First Line: In the harbor, in the harbor Lyrics: 1 O’er the sea that wildly dashes, Soft the harbor-signal flashes, Pointing out the shoals and rocks that threat’ning hide, We are sailors tempest driven, And we seek the port of heaven, And the beacon-light of Calv’ry is our guide. Chorus: In the harbor, in the harbor There the beacon-light is shining far and wide, We are sailors tempest driven, And we seek the port of heaven, And the beacon-light of Calv’ry is our guide. 2 High upon the shore uplifted, Vessels oft have past it drifted, Heeding not its arms of radiance stretching wide, Till the fierce gales drove them helpless On a coast all black and starless, Where no lighthouse lifts its head above the tide. [Chorus] 3 As the years are onward flowing, That fair light is brighter growing, Shining ever with a lustre clear and strong, We will never, never falter, Nor our onward course will alter, Till we anchor in the port we’ve sought so long. [Chorus] Used With Tune: [O'er the sea that wildly dashes]
