That in Thy sunshine's blaze its day
May brighter, fairer be.

I trace the rainbow through the rain,
And feel the promise is not vain
That morn shall tearless be.

And from the ground there blossoms red
Life that shall endless be.

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 50 hymnals Scripture: Hosea 11:4 First Line: My God, what silken cords are thine! Lyrics: 1 My God, what silken cords are thine!
How soft, and yet how strong!
While power, and truth, and love combine
To draw our souls along.
2 Thou saw'st us crush'd beneath the yoke
Of satan and of sin:
Thy hand the iron bondage broke,
Our worthless hearts to win.
3 The guilt of twice ten thousand sins
One moment takes away;
And grace, when first the war begins,
Secures the crowning day.
4 Comfort thro' all this vale of tears
In rich profusion flows,
And glory of unnumber'd years
Eternity bestows.
5 Drawn by such cords we onward move,
'Till round thy throne we meet;
And captives in the chains of love,
Embrace our Conqueror's feet.

Our comforts, and our cares.

Our mutual burdens bear;
And often for each other flows
The sympathizing tear.

It gives us inward pain;
But we shall still be joined in heart,
And hope to meet again. Used With Tune: DENNIS Text Sources: Timeless Truths (http://library.timelesstruths.org/music/Blest_Be_the_Tie_That_Binds); Faith Publishing House, Evening Light Songs, 1949, edited 1987 (240); The Gospel Trumpet Company, Select Hymns, 1911 (277)

He drew me with the cords of love,
And thus He bound me to Him.
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 mine own I call,
I’ll 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 safe to heaven.

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!

Shall life or death, shall earth or hell?
No! I am His forever. Used With Tune: FRIEND Text Sources: Timeless Truths (http://library.timelesstruths.org/music/Ive_Found_a_Friend); Review and Herald Publishing Association, The Gospel in Song, 1926 (240)

And enter while there's room,
When thousands make a wretched choice,
And rather starve than come?"

And perished in our sin.

give God all praise and glory;
and all who own his power, proclaim
aloud the wondrous story.
Cast each false idol from its throne,
the Lord is God, and he alone:
to God all praise and glory!

and leap in exultation;
now gladly pay your due of praise
in joyful celebration.
Take courage in the Lord, my heart;
refreshed in him, play your full part;
to God all praise and glory!
