Bread of heaven, bread of heaven, feed me now and evermore, feed me now and evermore. 2 Open now the crystal fountain, where the healing waters flow. Let the fire and cloudy pillar lead me all my journey through. Strong Deliverer, strong Deliverer, ever be my strength and shield, ever be my strength and shield. 3 When I tread the verge of Jordan, bid my anxious fears subside. Death of death, and hell's Destruction, land me safe on Canaan's side. Songs of praises, songs of praises I will ever sing to you, I will ever sing to you.

Blessèd Lord, in Thee Is Refuge

Author: Herbert H. Booth Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.7 Appears in 24 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Blessèd Lord, in Thee is refuge, Safety for my trembling soul; Pow’r to lift my head when drooping ’Midst the angry billows’ roll. I will trust Thee, I will trust Thee, I will trust Thee; All my life Thou shalt control; All my life Thou shalt control. 2. In the past, too, unbelieving, ’Midst the tempest I have been, And my heart has slowly trusted What my eyes have never seen. Blessèd Jesus, blessèd Jesus, blessèd Jesus, Teach me on Thine arm to lean; Teach me on Thine arm to lean. 3. O, for trust that brings the triumph When defeat seems strangely near; O, for faith that changes fighting Into vict’ry’s ringing cheer! Faith triumphant, faith triumphant, faith triumphant, Knowing not defeat nor fear; Knowing not defeat nor fear. 4. Faith triumphant— blessèd victory! Every barrier swept away. Heaven descending, joy and fullness, Dawn of everlasting day! Jesus only, Jesus only, Jesus only, Him to love and Him obey; Him to love and Him obey.

Zion Stands by Hills Surrounded

Author: Thomas Kelly Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.7 Appears in 398 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Zion stands by hills surrounded, Zion, kept by power divine; All her foes shall be confounded, Though the world in arms combine; Happy Zion, what a favored lot is thine! Happy Zion, what a favored lot is thine! 2. Every human tie may perish; Friend to friend unfaithful prove; Mothers cease their own to cherish; Heav’n and earth at last remove; But no changes can attend Jehovah’s love, But no changes can attend Jehovah’s love. 3. In the furnace God may prove thee, Thence to bring thee forth more bright, But can never cease to love thee; Thou art precious in His sight; God is with thee—God, thine everlasting Light, God is with thee—God, thine everlasting Light.
