Let me go, 'tis Jesus calls me

Author: Anon. Appears in 56 hymnals First Line: Let me go where saints are going Lyrics: 1 Let me go where saints are going, To the mansions of the best; Let me go where my Redeemer Has prepared his people's rest: I would gain the realms of brightness, Where they dwell forevermore; I would share the joys that wait me Over on the other shore. Chorus: Let me go, 'tis Jesus calls me, Let me gain the realms of day; Bear me over, angel pinions, Longs my soul to be a-way. 2 Let me go where none are weary, Where is raised no note of woe; Let me go and bathe my spirit In the rapture angels know: Let me go, for bliss eternal Lures my soul away, away, And the victor's son triumphant Thrills my heart, I cannot stay. 3 Let me go, why should I tarry? What has earth to bind me here? What but cares and toils and sorrows? What but death and pain and fear? Let me go, for hopes that cherished, Blasted round me often lie: Here I've gathered brightest flowers But to see them fade and die.

Waiting and watching

Author: S. M. H. Appears in 19 hymnals First Line: We know not the time when he cometh Lyrics: 1 We know not the time when he cometh, At even, or midnight, or morn; It may be at deepening twilight, It may be at earliest dawn.

Chorus: Waiting and watching, Waiting and watching; Waiting and watching, Still waiting and watching for thee. 2 I think of his wonderful pity, The price our salvation hath cost; He left the bright mansions of glory To suffer and die for the lost. And sometimes I think it will please him, When those whom he died to redeem Rejoice in the hope of his coming By waiting and watching for him. [Chorus] 3 O Jesus, my loving Redeemer, Thou knowest I cherish as dear The hope that mine eyes shall behold thee, That I shall thine own welcome hear! If to some as a Judge thou appearest, Who forth from thy presence would flee, A Friend most beloved I'll greet thee, I'm waiting and watching for thee.

God's law demands one living faith

Author: Anon. Appears in 11 hymnals Lyrics: 1 God's law demands one living faith, And not a crowd of lifeless creeds; Its warrant is a firm "God saith;" Its claim not words, but living deeds. 2 Yet, Lord, forgive thy holy law Grows tarnished in our earthly clasp; Pure in itself, without a flaw, It dims in our too worldly grasp. 3 Forgive the sacrilege, and take From every soul the unholy stain, And help us for thy Son's dear sake, To keep thy perfect law again.

Cottrell Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 By living faith we now can see, In the most holy place on high, Jesus, our Advocate and Friend, Who gave himself for us to die, Who gave himself for us to die. 2 A Minister of holy things, At God's right hand exalted high, He pleads his own, his precious blood, That chosen Israel may not die. 3 Once was he offered, once for all, A Sacrifice for guilty man, What wondrous, what unbounded love Is seen throughout salvation's plan! 4 All glory to his holy name!
