Oh, How Happy Are They

Hymnal: WV1884 #31 (1884) Lyrics: OH, how happy are they Who the Saviour obey, And have laid up their treasures above; Tongue can never express The sweet comfort and peace Of a soul in its earliest love. 2 That sweet comfort was mine, When the favor divine I received thro' the blood of the Lamb; When my heart first believed, What a joy I received-- What a heaven in Jesus' name! 3 'Twas a heaven below My Redeemer to know, And the angels could do nothing more Than to fall at his feet, And the story repeat, And the Lover of sinners adore. 4 Jesus, all the day long, Was my joy and my song; Oh, that all his salvation might see: He hath loved me, I cried, He hath suffered and died, To redeem even rebels like me. Tune Title: [Oh, how happy are they]

Fear not, little flock, though your numbers are few

Author: Asa Hymnal: WV1884 #32 (1884) Lyrics: 1. Fear not, little flock, though your numbers are few, Though Satan and all the world oppose; There's hope in the strength and the might of the Lord; In Christ all securely can repose. Chorus: Fear not, fear not, Your Father will give you the kingdom, Fear not, fear not, Your Father will give you the kingdom. 2. Fear not, little flock, though thy foes may arise, And hard are the battles to be fought; Remember the Lord will the righteous defend, Their foes he will surely bring to naught. [Chorus] 3. Fear not, little flock, are the Saviour's sweet words To all who for God and right contend; Remember the promise he's given to you, "Fear not, I'll be with you to the end." [Chorus] 4. Fear not, little flock, do not faint by the way, Go forth trusting Jesus' power to save; Hold on to the promise, stand fast in the faith, A crown of rejoicing you shall have. [Chorus] Tune Title: [Fear not, little flock, though your numbers are few]

Secret Prayer

Author: Fanny J. Crosby Hymnal: WV1884 #33 (1884) First Line: Lord, my strength and my Redeemer Refrain First Line: Precious moments, precious moments Lyrics: 1. Lord, my strength and my Redeemer, Ever mindful would I be Of the many, many blessings By the hand bestowed on me; But the purest and the sweetest Is the holy joy I share When I go alone in secret And commune with thee in prayer. Chorus: Precious moments, precious moments, When the world, with all its care, Is forgotten in the rapture That is mine in secret prayer! 2. When my soul is overburdened, And my faith is sorely tried, When the watchful, wary tempter Scatters thorns on ev'ry side, To the friend that never fails me Like a bird I still can flee, And alone, where none can hear me, I can tell it all to thee. [Chorus] 3. As the mist before the morning Into brightness fades away, As the dewdrops melt and vanish At the sunlight's golden ray, So the clouds that hang above me, And the shadows, all depart, When the nearness of thy presence With its glory fills my heart. [Chorus] Tune Title: [Lord, my strength and my Redeemer]

Chorus: In the Book of Life, on those pages fair, Do the angels see that my name is there? In the Book of Life, on those pages fair, Is it there? written there? 2. I do not ask for a glorious name, That is written high on the scroll of fame; Be this, the rather, concern of mine, To insure it there, in the book divine. [Chorus] 3. I do not ask that my earthly life Should be free from burdens and cares and strife; Nor that its current have tranquil flow, If but this one thing I may surely know. [Chorus] 4. I'd give up all that I hope below, All that time can give, or the world bestow, If when the Lord in his kingdom come, He will know me then and take me home. [Chorus] Tune Title: [I do not ask for the pride of earth]
