The Ninety-Nine
Author: William G. Schell Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Appears in 9 hymnals First Line: The ninety-nine within the fold Refrain First Line: Go search it out and bring it home Lyrics: 1 The ninety-nine within the fold
Are safe from fears and storms of night,
But one is on the mountains cold,
’Twill perish there—how sad the sight!
Refrain:
Go search it out and bring it home,
No more in darkness let it roam;
You’ll find it there in dreadful plight,
Oh! go and bring it back tonight.
2 The ninety-nine are safe today,
They’re all at home, so fully blest,
But one is wand’ring far away,
Upon the mountain’s snowy crest. [Refrain]
3 The ninety-nine with care are fed,
And rest within the Shepherd’s fold;
But one is starving, nearly dead,
Upon the mountains bare and cold. [Refrain]
4 The Shepherd dear, aloud doth weep
Because one lamb afar doth roam;
The ninety-nine He’ll safely keep—
We’ll seek that lamb and bring it home.

In heav’nly strains my voice I’ll raise. [Refrain]

Author: Anon. Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1 My Father, the guide of my youth,
To Thee for direction I fly;
Oh, grant me Thy light and Thy truth,
No ever Thy presence deny;
My pillar of cloud and of fire,
While destined to journey below—
What more can a pilgrim desire,
Or Thou in Thy goodness bestow.
2 My pillow of cloud thro’ the day,
I follow where’er Thou shalt lead;
My heart shall not yield to dismay,
Though rugged the path that I tread;
The prize of my calling I view,
And blest with Thy care and Thy love,
The journey of life I’ll pursue,
And press to the mansions above. Topics: God Our Guide Used With Tune: DELPHOS

Lift up Your Heads, Ye Mighty Gates
Author: George Weissel, 1590-1635 Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Appears in 274 hymnals First Line: Lift up your heads, ye mighty gates! Lyrics: 1 Lift up your heads, ye mighty gates!
Behold the King of glory waits;
The King of kings is drawing near,
The Savior of the world is here;
Life and salvation He doth bring,
Wherefore rejoice, and gladly sing:
All praise and glory be to Thee,
Lord Jesus Christ, eternally.
2 The Lord is just, a Helper tried,
Mercy is ever at His side;
His kingly crown is holiness,
His scepter, pity in distress,
The end of all our woe He brings:
Wherefore the earth is glad and sings:
All praise and glory be to Thee,
Lord Jesus Christ, eternally.
3 Oh, blest the land, the city blest,
Where Christ the Ruler is confest!
Oh, happy hearts and happy homes
To whom this King in triumph comes!
The cloudless Sun of joy He is,
Who bringeth pure delight and bliss.
All praise and glory be to Thee,
Lord Jesus Christ, eternally.
4 Fling wide the portals of your heart;
Make it a temple set apart
From earthly use for heaven's employ.
Adorned with prayer, and love, and joy:
So shall your Sovereign enter in,
And new and nobler life begin.
All praise and glory be to Thee,
Lord Jesus Christ, eternally.
5 Redeemer, come! I open wide
My heart to Thee; here, Lord, abide?
Let me thine inner presence feel,
Thy grace and love in me reveal;
Thy Holy Spirit guide us on,
Until our glorious goal be won.
All praise and glory be to Thee,
Lord Jesus Christ, eternally.

In His Arms of Love
Author: Joel A. Erickson Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: The waves are tossing, billows roll Lyrics: 1 The waves are tossing, billows roll,
And storm clouds screen the sunny sky;
I’ll trust the Lover of my soul,
For I am safe when He is nigh.
He’ll carry me up, up, away—
Above the clouds the sun doth shine;
In His dear arms of love I’ll lay,
For I am His and He is mine.
2 I cannot see the way before;
Through desert wastes or by the sea—
Whatever He may have in store,
I’ll drink the cup He giveth me.
I’ll lowly let Him have His way
To purge all dross and gold refine;
In His dear arms of love I’ll lay,
For I am His and He is mine.
3 Let nothing ever come to cool
My love for Him who loveth me;
Let nothing blight the bliss but fuel
The flame to burn away debris.
Let nothing turn my feet astray,
Nor strain the ties that intertwine;
In His dear arms of love I’ll lay,
For I am His and He is mine.
