Greeting Song

Author: Mrs. A. L. Davison Hymnal: LSSS1870 #110 (1870) First Line: Hail dear friends and schoolmates Lyrics: 1 Hail dear friends and schoolmates, Glad are we to meet you here, Seek with us the Saviour, Hope of heav'n most dear, O'er the fount of mercy, Clouds can never darkly frown; Keep your eyes uplifted, Christ in love looks down. Greeting, happy greeting, Glad are we to meet you here, Seek with us the Saviour, Hope of heav'n most dear. 2 Hard the conflict wages, Weary is the painful strife, Jesus for you toiling, Grants eternal life. Fight with constant watching, Trust in him who is divine, All your happy caring Unto him resign. 3 Soon the end is coming, We shall sing in notes of joy, Earth by grief our gladness Will no more alloy. Fair the future rises, In the shining light of heaven, Crowns are placed upon us, By our Saviour given. Tune Title: [Hail dear friends and schoolmates]

A miracle of Grace

Witness all ye hosts of heaven, My Redeemer’s tenderness, Love I much, I’m much forgiven, I’m a miracle of Grace. 3 Shout, ye bright angelic choir, Praise the Lamb enthroned above, While astonished, I admire God’s free grace and boundless love. That blest moment I received him, Filled my soul with joy and peace, Love I much, I’m much forgiven, I’m a miracle of Grace. Tune Title: [Hail my ever blessed Jesus]

See the smiles of happy greeting, See the light that fills their eyes, Hear their words of cheer and comfort, Hear their heartfelt anthems rise. 3 Thousand voices join the chorus, In a music sweet and strong, Theme of which I never weary, This the burden of their song; "Unto him who so hath loved us, Suffered death and rose again, Be the Kingdom and the glory, Now and ever more. Amen." Tune Title: [Hark, the tread of countless footsteps]

Chorus: Fear not, dread not the dark rolling wave; Thy Saviour is near thee, and mighty to save: Then fear not the waters, soon safely passed o'er, We all there shall meet on the bright gleaming shore. We all there shall meet on the bright gleaming shore. 3 Then no longer, I fear the dark wave, So many have passed by this way To the land where my Saviour has gone, I'll hasten, no longer delay; For thousands have forded the stream, And safely attained the bright shore No sorrow, no danger to fear, For sorrow and sickness are o'er. 4 I am waiting upon the green shore, But fear not the waves as they roll; When Jesus shall call I pass o'er, To the beautiful home of the soul. Then brothers and sisters and all, Who left us in days that are past, Will welcome us singing for joy, To the pleasure which always will last, Tune Title: [I am waiting upon the green shore]

The voice within

Author: George H. Spring Hymnal: LSSS1870 #122 (1870) First Line: I seem to hear a voice within Refrain First Line: Yes 'tis the voice of love divine Lyrics: 1 I seem to hear a voice within, A friendly voice in accents low, Which warns me that the ways of sin, Lead down to endless death and woe. Chorus: Yes, 'tis the voice of love divine, Which utters thus a warning kind. Which whispers to this heart of mine, Seek now if mercy you would find, 2 Though all around seems bright and fair, Yet deadly evil works within, And if you still retain it there, You'll surely perish in your sin. [Chorus] 3 Life's opening morn may smile to-day, To-morrow gloomy death may call, Yet now thy Maker's voice obey, Then shall death's summons ne'er appal. [Chorus] 4 Yes, go to Jesus, who was slain, To ransom guilty ones from woe, His blood can cleanse sin's every stain, His friendships endless bliss bestow. [Chorus] 5 Seek while thy Father waits to bless, Seek while the Saviour will forgive. Seek while the Spirit rich in grace, Will help thee turn to God and live. [Chorus] 6 Now in thy youth thy God will hear, Yet if thou now his mercy spurn, He may at length reject thy prayer, And leave thee hopelessly to mourn. [Chorus] Tune Title: [I seem to hear a voice within]
