Rock of ages, cleft for me

Appears in 2,976 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Rock of Ages, cleft for me, Let me hide myself in Thee; Let the water and the blood, From Thy wounded side which flowed, Be of sin the double cure, Save from wrath and make me pure. 2. Could my tears forever flow, Could my zeal no languor know, These for sin could not atone; Thou must save, and thou alone; In my hand no price I bring; Simply to the cross I cling. 3. While I draw this fleeting breath, When my eyes shall close in death, When I rise to worlds unknown, And behold thee on thy throne, Rock of Ages, cleft for me, Let me hide myself in Thee.

O how happy are they, who the Saviour obey

Appears in 712 hymnals Lyrics: 1. O how happy are they, Who the Saviour obey, And laid up their treasure above! Tongue can never express The sweet comfort and peace Of a soul in its earliest love. 2. '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 love of sinners adore. 3. Jesus all the day long Was my joy and my song; O that all his salvation might see! "He hath loved me," I cried, "He hath suffered and died, To redeem even rebels like me."

I'll Overcome Some Day

Author: C. Albert Tindley Appears in 10 hymnals First Line: This world is one great battlefield Lyrics: 1. This world is one great battlefield, With forces all arrayed; If in my heart I do not yield I’ll overcome some day. I’ll overcome some day, I’ll overcome some day; If in my heart I do not yield, I’ll overcome some day. 2. Both seen and unseen powers join To drive my soul astray, But with His Word a sword of mine, I’ll overcome some day. I’ll overcome some day, I’ll overcome some day; But with His Word a sword of mine, I’ll overcome some day. 3. A thousand snares are set for me, And mountains in my way; If Jesus will my leader be, I’ll overcome some day. I’ll overcome some day, I’ll overcome some day; If Jesus will my leader be, I’ll overcome some day. 4. I fail so often when I try My Savior to obey; It pains my heart and then I cry, Lord, make me strong some day. Lord, make me strong some day, Lord, make me strong some day; It pains my heart and then I cry, Lord, make me strong some day. 5. My mind is not to do the wrong, But walk the narrow way; I’m praying as I journey on, To overcome some day. To overcome some day, To overcome some day; I’m praying as I journey on, To overcome some day. 6. Tho' many a time no signs appear, Of answer when I pray; My Jesus says I need not fear, He’ll make it plain some day. I’ll be like Him some day, I’ll be like Him some day; My Jesus says I need not fear, I’ll be like Him some day. Used With Tune: [This world is one great battlefield]

My Secret of Joy

Author: C. A. Tindley Appears in 4 hymnals First Line: You ask me where I get the joys Refrain First Line: Hallelujah! I belong to the King Lyrics: 1. You ask me where I get the joys That make my heart so light, Which all the gloom of day destroys And gives me songs at night. Chorus: Hallelujah! I belong to the King, I am saved now, and I have a right to sing, For the light from heaven fills my soul, And the night has passed away. 2. It is not wealth or land or gold, Nor health or honored fame, But joys of heaven in my soul A heav'n in Jesus' name. 3. I once was full of anxious fear, I tried, but failed to see, That all I needed was so near The Christ that died for me. 4. I counted much upon my state, Of goodness, sense, and birth, These only added to my fate, They had no place or worth. 5. I then gave up myself and all, And trusted to His care, Who sees the sparrows e'er they fall, And left my burden there. 6. I wish I had the tongue to tell, The comfort then was given, How my poor soul was brought from hell, And car'ied almost to heav'n. Used With Tune: [You ask me where I get the joys]

Consolation

Author: C. A. Tindley, D.D. Appears in 4 hymnals First Line: Ye pilgrims through this vale of tears Lyrics: 1. Ye pilgrims through this vale of tears, Come, let us cheer each other, Amid the danger's doubts and fear, Let each console his brother. Our way is often dark and hard, Temptations all around us, Unless we pray with one accord They surely will confound us. 2. We see the pit where others lie, All smitten by the Tempter, We too shall come to grief and die, If we to him surrender. We'll walk the blood-be-sprinkled way, The road that leads to glory, And as we go we'll sing and pray, And tell redemption's story. 3. While some are shouting all the time, Some other hearts are bleeding, They want the heav'nly peace to find For which their souls are pleading. Come, let us lead them through the gate, The way of sins confessing, The word of God will put them straight and they will find the blessing. 4. There may be some that's growing tired, Because the way is tedious, Let's take the Book that was inspir'd And tell them more 'bout Jesus. Tell them of Him who bled and died! The crucifixion story. Who rendered justice satisfied And then went home to glory. 5. We soon shall reach the shining shore, And see our dear Redeemer, Where we shall weep and sign no more, But praise His name forever. Our time is short and crosses great And often hard to carry, Who rendered justice satisfied And then went home to glory. Used With Tune: [Ye pilgrims through this vail of tears]

The Pilgrim's Song

Author: C.A. Tindley Appears in 5 hymnals First Line: I am a poor pilgrim of sorrow Lyrics: 1. I am a poor pilgrim of sorrow, Cast out in this wide world to roam; Uncertain of life for tomorrow, I want to make heaven my home. Sometimes I am both tossed and driven; Sometimes I know not where to roam; I hear of a city called heaven, I am striving to make it my home. 2. They tell me its walls are of jasper, The streets are all paved with pure gold, My Jesus is the building master, He is making a home for my soul. The city is way over yonder, A city that's quite out of sight; I have a few days yet to wander, A few more hard battles to fight. 3. I am now in a waste howling desert, Not a foot of its land to call mine; No cottage nor tent for a shelter, Tho' storms are descending sometimes, I have friends that are now up in heaven, And others still walking in sin; If brothers and sisters don't own me, My Jesus says he'll take me in. 4. I am wandering in this land of danger, No comfort or peace do I find; I am a poor wayfaring stranger, To troubles and trials confined, When friends and relations forsake me, And sorrows like billows roll high, I think of the kind words of Jesus, Which say, "Weary child, I am nigh." 5. My lot among men may be dreary, My station quite poor and despised; By grace I will run and not weary, Till called up with Jesus on high. When death shall determine my stay here, My body is laid in the grave. I hope I shall dwell with my Father, In heaven, there always to stay. 6. Hark! listen to the music from heaven; Oh! what is this steals on my frame? I see the old ship drawing nearer, The Captain is calling my name. To you, my old friends and companions: The fight will not be very long; Though now among lions, like Daniel, Deliverance surely will come.

Pilgrim Stranger

Author: C.A. Tindley, D.D. Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: Go, ye humble pilgrim stranger Lyrics: 1. Go, ye humble pilgrim stranger, Thro' this world of woe, He is, though so meek and lowly, More than all beside. Don't forget that God above you, Hath a gracious heart, He will never cease to love you, Or to take your part. 2. If your way is dark and lonely, He will be your guide, He is, though so meek and lowly, More than all beside. When the world in arms assail you, And your courage fail, Let Him fight your battle for you, And you will prevail. 3. When discouraged and forsaken, Run to Him in pray'r, Never has been one o'er-taken, Who resorted there. When the storms of life are beating, Hard upon your head, God will hide you, He is pleading, "Be ye not afraid." 4. If you choose to find a stranger, Put Him in the way, Tell him how to flee the danger, While it is called day. Tell him there's a precious fountain, Flowing free for all, Jesus Christ, on Calvary's mountain, Paid for Adam's fall. 5. Tell him that above a brother There's a Savior's love, If on earth he has no other, There's a Friend above. If he needs your help and kindness, Don't withhold your hand, Always of this be reminded, He's your fellow man. Used With Tune: [Go, ye humble pilgrim stranger]

From Youth to Old Age

Author: C. Albert Tindley Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: My life, as a year, had a bright spring time Lyrics: 1. My life, as a year, had a bright spring time, With summer and autumn to come, And afterward the winter with its dim sunshine, When springtime and summer had gone, The spring of my life was the joyful days, When care had not entered my breast, When the fields and the woods were the choice of my ways, And my life was all happiness. 2. It was when I was young and the world to me was new, The stings and the thorns were not known, When wiser heads guided in all I had to do, My heaven was parents and home. The birds gave me music the flow'rs gave me joy, And the world was Eden to me, The skies were my pictures, the earth was my toy, I was happy as mortal could be. 3. Now I stand poorly clad in the cold winter blast, 'Neath the bare leafless limbs of the tree, All the gay things are gone, and the summer is past, There's no comfort in this world for me. I think of the home where my childhood was spent, Where the fire on the hearth used to glow, And of my mother dear who was aged and bent, She has gone to the grave long ago. 4. My ears heavy grow and my eyesight has failed, And I am not strong as before, My body once robust is now growing frail, My journey on earth is most o'er. It won't be very long till the Lord calls me home, I shall meet all my kindred again, Where death never comes and I no more shall roam, There all of my troubles shall end. Used With Tune: [My life, as a year, had a bright springtime]

Although your progress may be poor, But if you watch and pray, Whatever else, of this I'm sure, The Lord will make the way. 3. To do your duty here below, And be just what you say, May not be easy, but you know The Lord will make the way. 4. But when you find you can't do more, Your plans must all delay, The promise comes just as before, The Lord will make the way. 5. When comforts of this world are few, And friends are far away, Remember always this is true, The Lord will make the way. 6. When hard and heavy is your load, And not a single ray Of light is shining on the road, Just wait; there'll be a way. 7. Sometimes the tempter tries his plans, To make you go astray, But keep your hand in Jesus' hand, And he will lead the way. 8. And when the dreary road you tread, Which leads to endless day, O praise the Lord, there'll be no dread, For Christ will be the way. Used With Tune: [The hills of life which you must climb]
