The Living Way

Author: James L. Nicholson Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #2704 Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.6 D First Line: My many sins I now can see Refrain First Line: Lord, in thy blessèd Word I’ve read Lyrics: 1 My many sins I now can see, How black they all appear! O what a dreadful history, It fills my soul with fear; I’m sorry, Lord, for what I’ve done, I cry for help to Thee; Now for the sake of Thy dear Son, Have mercy, Lord, on me. Refrain: Lord, in thy blessèd Word I’ve read About a "living way," And that the blood of Christ was shed To wash my sins away. 2 In years that now are past and gone The prophet gave a call, And this was it—"Ho, every one"; That surely must mean all, And if he called to every one I’m surely counted in; My doubts and fears are almost gone, To trust I now begin. [Refrain] 3 He bade them "to the waters come," He spoke of "milk and wine"; I’m thirsty, Father, give me some, What Jesus bought is mine: I drink, I drink, by living faith, I feel my sins forgiven; The merits of my Savior’s death Makes me an heir to Heaven.

How short our pilgrim way! Our life on earth a fitful dream, Dispelled by dawning day! Refrain: Then come, Lord Jesus, quickly come, In glory and in light! Come take Thy longing children home, And end earth’s weary night! 2 A little while! with patience, Lord, I fain would ask, How long? For how can I with such a hope Of glory and of home, With such a joy awaiting me, Not wish the hour were come? How can I keep the longing back, And how suppress the groan? [Refrain] 3 Yet peace, my heart! and hush, my tongue! Be calm, my troubled breast! Each passing hour is hastening on The everlasting rest: Thou knowest well—the time thy God Appoints for thee is best: The morning star will soon arise; The glow is in the east.

Refrain: We consecreate ourselves anew, Our all to Him we give (we give). O may we do as He would do And live as He would live. 2 In union sweet we love to meet, And feel "the tie that binds"; It gives relief to weary feet, And balm to fainting minds; And O the common ties of earth Are small compared with His, For ours the bond princely birth, The hope of heav’nly bliss. [Refrain] 3 We consecrate ourselves anew, Our heart’s best offering give, Resolved to do as He would do, And live as He would live; And O we know we must succeed, With such a guide and friend; Our vows will blossom into deeds, And in fruition end.

Could We Refuse

Author: Grace H. Horr Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #9790 Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.6 D First Line: Could we refuse a song of praise Lyrics: 1 Could we refuse a song of praise, This Easter morn to sing? Should we refuse, the very stones A song of praise would ring. The earth has broken winter’s thrall, The birds begin to sing; The trees put forth their tender shoots, And thus their praises bring; The very air is pulsing, too, With music all around; The flowers look from grassy nooks As wakened by the sound. 2 The sun rolls higher on his path, Rejoicing in his ways; The streams have burst their icy bonds To join the song of praise. For O, one far off Easter morn, Christ cleft the realms of night; He gained the victor’s glorious crown, And gave us life and light; He broke the bonds of death and hell, The world has suffered long, And gave us themes of life and love, For each new Easter song.

O land where prophets trod; O Galilee, sweet Galilee, Where walked the Son of God. 2 O Galilee, sweet Galilee! Thy hills are sacred now; Whose rocks did lend, on wearied nights A pillow for His brow, Or from whose crests, where cedars bend, In silent twilight hour, He stood enwrapped in prayerful mood, Awaiting God-sealed power. [Refrain] 3 O Galilee, sweet Galilee! We claim thee as our own; Where first He came, whose mission was To bind all flesh in one; O native land, O covenant land, Of earth’s most royal king! We give thee mead of blessèd praise, While we His glory sing. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: OVIEDO

I'll Feed On Husks No Mere

Author: Henry H. Hadley Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #10346 Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.6 D First Line: O’er squandered wealth and wasted years Lyrics: 1 O’er squandered wealth and wasted years, In sin and folly past, A wretched, starving prodigal Awoke to mourn at last. He pressed his weary, throbbing brow, And through his tears he said, "I spurned the home I might have shared And now I starve for bread." Refrain: I will arise and go at once, My Father’s love implore, Confess my wrong, His pardon seek, And feed on husks no more. 2 Forsaken, friendless, clothed in rags, And poor as poor can be, To lowest menial service brought, A tyrant’s slave was he; He turned disgusted from the swine That he so long had fed; "I can not from my Father stay," With firm resolve he said. [Refrain] 3 "I thought the world was what I dreamed, My heart obeyed its call; But now I find its fleeting joys Are wormwood after all." Be warned, oh gay and thoughtless ones, That to the whirlwind sow, Let’s hasten back to Father now, He’s coming; let us go. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: HOUSE SPRINGS

In Lowering Gloom And Cloudiness

Author: Anonymous Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #10754 Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1 In lowering gloom and cloudiness, The sun had sunk to rest; And dreariest night had darkened o’er The earth’s sin laden breast; But when that brightest morning broke, The woe and curse were o’er; The powers of death were vanquishèd, And Satan reigned no more. The Savior from the tomb arose, The darkness passed away, And o’er the world in beauty dawned The glorious Easter day. 2 The angels who in grief and awe Had watched His sufferings dread, The anguish keen, the storm of woe, That gathered o’er His head, Now wake the strain with one accord Thro’ all the courts of Heav’n, To sing the praise of love divine, The joy of man forgiven. The Savior from the tomb arose, The darkness passed away, And o’er the world in beauty dawned The glorious Easter day. 3 Again the light of Easter dawns, And shall we silent be, Nor bless the love, the grace, the power, That us from death set free? With holy joy from earliest dawn Let each his voice upraise, And thro’ the ransomed world resound Our great Redeemer’s praise. O praise the Father, praise the Son! And Holy Spirit blessed! And be the name of God most high Thro’ every land confessed. Languages: English Tune Title: KOWLOON

I watch with humble shepherds there At midnight calm and still, While snowy flocks sleep peacefully Upon the dew kissed hill. Refrain: O Christmas bells, ring out, ring out, Your merry chimes today, And bear us back to Bethlehem, Where Christ the Savior lay. 2 Whene’er I hear the Christmas bells Ring out so joyously, The wondrous light which streamed from Heav’n That night I seem to see. I catch a glimpse of angels fair, I hear the news they bring. That in a lonely manger lies The world’s expected King. [Refrain] 3 Whene’er I hear the Christmas bells Ring out so sweet and clear, The song the bright winged angels sang Methinks I still can hear: "All glory in the highest be Unto our God for aye; Good will to men and peace on earth, Upon this happy day."

I come once more to Thee, To seek Thy smile of peace; From all the powers of sin I flee, From all its ways I’d cease. A thousand earnest vows I’ve made, And broken every one, But let me plead the precious blood Of Thy belovèd Son. Refrain: O Savior! help me to believe, Believe, and sin no more; Nor e’er, again, Thy Spirit grieve, But love Thee evermore. 2 When I remember all my sin Against Thy law and grace, And see how false my heart has been, I fear to seek Thy face; My trembling soul sinks in despair Beneath the heavy load; All faith is taken from my prayer; I stand condemned of God. [Refrain] 3 Let not the foe my heart deceive, Forgiveness is in store; O let me now look up, believe, Believe, and sin no more! Thy Word demands of feeble dust Forgiveness full and free, And surely, Thou who art so just Will fully pardon me. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: SÃO TOMÉ
