Johnny; or, The Little Cripple' Song

Author: Geo. F. Root Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: We passed poor Johnny's cabin Refrain First Line: I love him, oh, I love him Lyrics: 1 We passed poor Johnny's cabin, The evening sun was low, And thro' the little window It sent its parting glow; His patient eyes were resting Upon the open door, And, while we listened, sweetly came This burden o'er and o'er. Refrain: I love him, oh, I love him, My Saviour near and dear, For tho' he cares for countless worlds, He's always with me here. O Savior, blessed Savior, My heart is filled with joy, How can you stay, and love me so, A little crippled boy? 2 His old and well-worn Bible Was close beside his bed, The golden hues of sunset Were playing round his head; A radiance more than earthly Beamed from his features thin, We paused to hear his song again Before we entered in. [Refrain] 3 But when we came to leave him, And held his slender hand, We knew he had a comfort We could not understand; And as beneath the maple We stopped again to hear, There seemed a sound of angels in The song so heav'nly clear. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [We passed poor Johnny's cabin] Text Sources: "From "The Song Tree."

And 'round my heart still closely twine Those ties which naught can sever, For I am his and he is mine, Forever and forever. 2 I’ve found a Friend; oh, such a Friend! He bled, he died to save me; And not alone the gift of life, But his own self he gave me. Naught that I have my own I call, I hold it for the Giver: My heart, my strength, my life, my all, Are his, and his forever. 3 I’ve found a Friend, oh such a Friend! All pow'r to him is given; To guard me on my onward course, And bring me save to heaven. Th'eternal glories gleam afar, To nerve my faint endeavor; So now to watch, to work, to war, And then to rest forever. 4 I've found a Friend; oh, such a Friend! So kind, and true, and tender, So wise a Counselor and Guide, So mighty a Defender! From him who loves me now so well, What power my soul can sever? Shall life or death, shall earth or hell? No; I am his forever. Used With Tune: [I've found a Friend; oh, such a Friend!] Text Sources: From "Word and Work."

Peace, be Still

Author: Miss M. A. Baker Appears in 285 hymnals First Line: Master, the tempest is raging! Refrain First Line: The winds and waves shall obey my will Lyrics: 1 Master, the tempest is raging! The billows are tossing high! The sky is o'ershadow'd with blackness, No shelter or help is nigh; "Carest thou not that we perish?" How canst thou lie asleep, When each moment so madly is threat'ning, A grave in the angry deep? Chorus: The winds and the waves shall obey my will, Peace, be still! Whether the wrath of the storm-toss'd sea, Or demons, or men, or whatever it be, No waters can swallow the ship where lies The Master of ocean, and earth and skies; They all shall sweetly obey my will, Peace, be still! They all shall sweetly obey my will, Peace, peace, be still! 2 Master, with anguish of spirit I bow in my grief today; The depths of my sad heart are troubled, Oh, waken and save, I pray! Torrents of sin and of anguish Sweep o’er my sinking soul; And I perish! I perish, dear Master, O, hasten, and take control. [Chorus] 3 Master, the terror is over, The elements sweetly rest; Earth’s sun in the calm lake is mirror'd, And heaven’s within my breast; Linger, O blessed Redeemer, Leave me alone no more; And with joy I shall make the blest harbor, And rest on the blissful shore. [Chorus] Scripture: Mark 4:35-41 Used With Tune: [Master, the tempest is raging!]
