No River Here

Author: Mrs. Hattie Bradford Spoor Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: We’re told of a river, a dark rolling tide Refrain First Line: I am floating in light to the pearly gates near Lyrics: 1 We’re told of a river, a dark rolling tide, Its waves dashing high, the stream deep and wide, Which all must cross over when life’s work is done, As down to its borders we come one by one. Refrain: I am floating in light to the pearly gates near, And, glory to God! no river is here; I am floating in light to the pearly gates near, And, glory to God! no river is here. 2 No river is here! Are my eyes growing dim? No, clear is my vision; I’m trusting in Him Whose glory so crowneth the close of life’s day That the dark rolling tide has all passed away. [Refrain] 3 More distant has seemed my heavenly home When told of the “river” to which we must come, The dark, chilly waves we must cross safely o’er Ere joining the loved ones who’ve gone on before. [Refrain] 4 Earth borders on heaven; there is no dark tide To those who in Jesus most fully confide; Transported by angels, in rapture divine, With shouts of salvation we pass o’er the line. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [We're told of a river]

I Will Praise Him

Author: Helen E. Brown Appears in 4 hymnals First Line: I will praise him, I will praise him Lyrics: 1 I will praise him, I will praise him, I will sing unto the Lord; For his plenteous, free compassion, Round the earth like floods outpoured; Reaching every tribe and nation, To the earth’s remotest line, Touching, cleansing, healing, saving,— Oh, the breadth of love divine! Refrain: I will praise him, I will praise him, Ever be his name adored; Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, Praise the Lord. 2 I will praise him, I will praise him, Witness to his love for me; How he chose, and sought, and found me, With his grace so full and free; How he leads me on with blessing, Closely holds this hand of mine, Keeps me when I shrink and falter,— Oh, the length of love divine. [Refrain] 3 I will praise him, I will praise him, I will sing unto the Lord, For the joy of his salvation Shining from his holy word; Amply freighted with his mercy Is each sacred page and line, Even to the chief of sinners,— Oh, the depth of love divine! [Refrain] 4 I will praise him, I will praise him, I will sing unto the Lord; Loud extol the royal bounty His full treasuries afford; Half his goodness was not told me! Oh, what glories in him shine! I can never, never tell it, All the height of love divine! [Refrain] Used With Tune: [I will praise him, I will praise him]

My Saviour Keeps Me Company

Appears in 6 hymnals First Line: My Savior keeps me company Lyrics: 1 My Saviour keeps me company Along the narrow way, And I am trusting in his grace To keep me day by day, The path may be a rugged one, Yet cheerfully I’ll sing; For there’s such love, and joy, and rest, Beneath his shelt’ring wing. 2 My Saviour keeps me company, So I am ne’er alone, Tho’ earthly friends may turn away, And leave me, one by one; Those too I’ve loved and trusted most, And thought were truest friends; But his is an unchanging love, Mine till the journey ends. 3 My Saviour keeps me company, Yes, Jesus, thou art mine; What confidence I now look up, Assured too I am thine. Redeemed from sin and Satan’s power, Bought with thy precious blood, Earth has no claims upon me now, For I belong to God. 4 My Saviour keeps me company, Friendless, and poor, and lone, Yet he bestows rich love one me, And claims me for his own. Then let the world despise me now, He loves me just the same For Jesus keeps me company, And Jesus knows my name. Used With Tune: [My Savior keeps me company]
