SWEET BY AND BY
Author: S. F. Bennett Hymnal: G21873 #10 (1873) First Line: There's a land that is fairer than day Refrain First Line: In the sweet by and by Lyrics: 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.
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.
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.
Chorus
3. To our bountiful Father above,
We will offer the tribute of praise,
For the glorious gift of his love,
And the blessings that hallow our days!
Chorus
4. We shall rest on that beautiful shore,
In the joys of the saved we shall share;
All our pilgrimage toil will be o'er,
And the conqueror's crown we shall wear.
Chorus
5. We shall meet, we shall sing, we shall reign,
In the land where the saved never die;
We shall rest free from sorrow and pain,
Safe at home in the sweet by and by.
Chorus

THE ROYAL WAY
Hymnal: G21873 #9 (1873) First Line: We may spread our couch with roses Lyrics: 1. We may spread our couch with roses,
And sleep thro' the summer day;
But the soul that in sloth reposes
Is not in the narrow way.
If we follow the chart that is given,
We need not be at loss,
For the only way to heaven,
Is the royal way of the cross.
2. Unto those who live in splendor,
The cross is a heavy load;
And the feet that are soft and tender,
Will shrink from the thorny road;
But the chains of the soul must be riven,
And wealth must be as dross;
For the only way to heaven,
Is the royal way of the cross.
3. We may say we'll walk to-morrow,
The path we refuse to-day;
And still, with our lukewarm sorrow,
We shrink from the narrow way.
What heeded the chosen eleven,
How fortune life might toss,
As they followed their Lord to heaven,
By the way of the royal cross.

THE ROYAL WAY
LEAD ME TO THE ROCK
Author: R. A. Searles Hymnal: G21873 #4 (1873) First Line: When mountains of doubt hem me in on each side Refrain First Line: Oh, lead me to the Rock Lyrics: 1. When mountains of doubt hem me in on each side,
And waves of affliction roll in like a tide;
When vainly I seek some new pathway to try,
Oh, lead me to the Rock that is higher than I.
Chorus:
Oh, lead me to the Rock, Oh, lead me to the Rock,
Oh, lead me to the Rock that is higher than I.
Oh, lead me to the Rock, Oh, lead me to the Rock that is higher than I.
2. When storms of deep trouble rage fiercely around,
When forebodings of ill in my spirit abound;
When the hopes of a lifetime are blighted and die,
Oh, lead me to the Rock that is higher than I.
Chorus
3. The sun of prosperity brightly may shine,
And my heart round its treasures too closely may twine,--
When my hopes are in danger of rising too high,
Oh, lead me to the Rock that is higher than I.
Chorus
4. When nearing the shore of the river of death,
And the moments fly swiftly with each labored breath,
When losing my hold of each dear earthly tie,
Oh, lead me to the Rock that is higher than I.
Chorus
5. Whatever my lot, be it wearily sad,
Or actively busy or joyously glad;
In each joy and sorrow, my God, be thou nigh,
And lead me to the Rock that is higher than I.
Chorus
Languages: English Tune Title: [When mountains of doubt hem me in on each side]
LEAD ME TO THE ROCK
THE WONDROUS CROSS.
Author: Chislon Hymnal: G21873 #25 (1873) First Line: Wondrous cross! thy glory beaming Lyrics: 1. Wondrous cross! thy glory beaming
Thro' the ages dark as night;
Rays of brightness from thee streaming,
Fill the world with gospel light.
Time ne'er brings decay nor rusting--
Gath'ring neither rot nor moss,
In its sacrifice I'm trusting;
I am clinging to the cross,
I am clinging, I am clinging,
I am clinging to the cross.
2. Wondrous power! of saving mercy;
Wondrous grace! on me bestow'd;
To be counted even worthy,
Thus to feel the cleansing flood.
On the Cross my hopes all center,
Purest gold, compared, is dross;
In my heart no sin can enter,
While I'm clinging to the cross.
I am clinging, etc.
