Blood-bought

Author: D. C. A. Hymnal: MS1877 #3 (1877) Person Name: D. C. A. First Line: I have a home at last Lyrics: 1 I have a home at last, ’Twas bought by blood divine, Safe from the stormy blast, And the blest title mine. Blood paid for every stone, For roof, and nail and door; There death is never known, But life for evermore. 2 These emblems mark the wall-- The cross, the nails, the spear, Five bleeding wounds in all Show me the title clear. On Calvary ’twas paid, Each drop to Justice due; And Love divine there laid The price for me and you. 3 Blood-bought, I stand secure, Since Jesus died for me; Blood-bought, redemption sure, If I but cling to thee. Washed in this blood divine, In glory to appear; Like him forever shine, His welcome voice to hear. Scripture: 1 Peter 1:19 Tune Title: [I have a home at last]

If, Lord, thou callest me

Addison Lyrics: 1 If, Lord, Thou callest me, Here, Lord, am I; Where'er Thou bid'st me be, Thither I fly; If to Thy feast to come, Rich with Thy presence there, With wedding garment on I will appear. 2 If to Gethsemane, To scenes of woe, Thou, Lord, e'er callest me, Thither I go; There, if Thou callest me, I answer, "Here am I!" Where'er Thou sendest me, There would I fly. 3 Or, if to Calvary, Leading the way, Lord, if Thou callest me, I will obey; There by Thy cross to be, There by Thy cross to die, If Lord, Thou callest me, "Here, Lord am I." 4 And, when this life is o'er, Oh, blest repose! Upward to Thee I soar, From death who rose; Lord, when Thou callest me, Upward to Thee on high, "I come, I come to Thee," Blissful my cry. Scripture: Acts 21:13 Tune Title: [If, Lord, Thou callest me]

"Pass me not, oh, gentle Savior," Speak again my heart to cheer; Place Thy loving arms around me, I am safe when Thou art near. 2 "Pass me not, oh, gentle Savior," Listen to my humble prayer; I would know of Thy salvation, Let me feel Thy presence near. Open now the flowing fountain, Cleanse my guilty soul within, Tarry with me, blessed Savior, Wash me wholly from my sin. "Pass me not, oh, gentle Savior," Speak again my heart to cheer; Place Thy loving arms around me, I am safe when Thou art near. 3 "Pass me not, oh, gentle Savior," Speak again my heart to cheer; Place Thy loving arms around me, I am safe when Thou art near. Jesus lead me thro' the darkness, While I sleep still watch by me, Till the morning then awake me, Dearest Lord, to dwell to Thee. "Pass me not, oh, gentle Savior," Speak again my heart to cheer; Place Thy loving arms around me, I am safe when Thou art near. Tune Title: ["Pass me not, oh, gentle Savior"]

Chorus: Hear them ringing, hear them ringing, List the warning words they say, Time is winging, time is winging, Seek the Savior while you may. Hear them ringing, hear them ringing, List the warning words they say, Time is winging, time is winging, Seek the Savior while you may. 2 If holy we will keep this day, Our strength we shall renew; And God will bless abundantly Whatever we pursue. Our hearts should beat in happy time, And echo still the call Which bids the world with blessed chime At Jesus' feet to fall. [Chorus] 3 As flowers that open fresh at noon, But fold their lives ere night, So, rich with promise, we are born, And drink the early light; But we may prove as frail as they, Those bells may toll our knell, They call us now to praise and pray, Oh, let us heed them well. [Chorus] Tune Title: [With truth in every swinging tongue]

Chorus: Jesus, the Master, comes walking the sea, Hushing to silence that wild Galilee; Yes, it is Jesus, the dear, blessed Jesus, Jesus, the Savior, is walking the sea. 2 When in danger and in doubt, And the storm was at its height, And they knew not that the Savior was at hand, Then about the Morning Watch, He came walking on the sea, To bring the weary toilers to the land. [Chorus] 3 "Do not fear," He cried aloud; "Cheer up," friends, "for it is I;" As He walked upon the waves, and kindly spoke, And the winds were hushed to sleep, For He calmed both sea and sky, At His word the mighty tempest quickly broke. [Chorus] 4 So in sadness and in grief, When we're filled with anxious fear, And the darkness gathered on thy troubled way, 'Tis thy Savior walks the deep, And He always will be near, For His presence is thy safety night and day.
