Because He Loves Me

Author: Charles W. Naylor Meter: 10.7.10.7 D Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: When the storm winds rage, and the rain falls fast Lyrics: 1 When the storm winds rage, and the rain falls fast, And the clouds hang low above, I shall be secure till the storm is past, For I trust my Savior’s love; And He knows the way, and He holds my hand, And He will not let it go; He will lead me home to that better land, Just because He loves me so. 2 It was not that I was so good or great, For my heart was vile with sin; I had turned my back on the narrow gate, Neither care nor lived for Him, But I pleased myself, and I chose my way, For His grace I did not know; But He sought me still through the night and day, Just because He loved me so. 3 If He loved me so when I grieved Him sore That He sought me tenderly, Till He won my heart, and my sins He bore, So that I His child might be, Will He love me less since I love Him, too, So my heart with fervor glows? And I haste each day all His will to do That my willing spirit knows. 4 I will trust His love, for it e’er will last, It is rich and warm and free; Through the years of life it will hold me fast, And my help and comfort be; To my waiting heart all its treasures rare As a sparkling stream shall flow; In the joy of God I shall ever share, Just because He loves me so.

Rejoicing Together

Author: Susan E. Gammons Meter: 10.7.10.7 D Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: A sower with weeping went forth to sow Lyrics: 1 A sower with weeping went forth to sow— Went bearing the precious seed; He passed where the wayside vines drooped low, Passed over the dewy mead. From early dawn till the stars came out, He scattered the golden grain, Alike on the hillside parchèd with drought, Alike on the fertile plain. 2 The seed soon sprung up which the sower cast; It grew both by night and day; And lo, e’er the harvest time had passed, A reaper strayed that way. He reaped the grain with a happy song; His sickle was keen and bright; Heavy laden with sheaves he passed along In the rosy, sunset light. 3 When the Lord of the Harvest shall come to receive And garner His ripened wheat, The sower and reaper together, their sheaves With rejoicing shall lay at His feet; Together shall enter the heav’nly rest, To sow and to reap no more; Together shall join in the song of the blest, For the weeping time will be o’er.

Welch Meter: 10.7.10.7 D Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Over the hills the trumpet is sounding Lyrics: 1 Over the hills the trumpet is sounding, Sounding the beautiful song, Jesus is coming, soon He is coming, Tho’ He has tarried so long. While we are hoping, watching and waiting, He is preparing a place; Yes, He is coming, soon to receive us, In His dear loving embrace. 2 Wonders and signs all tell the glad story, Jesus is coming again; Coming to reign in honor and glory, Waiting will not be in vain. Over the hills the trumpet is sounding, Valleys re-echo the strain; Watchmen in Zion, tell the glad story, Jesus is coming again. 3 Tho’ He is pleading still with the Father, Soon He is coming again; Soon will His pleading cease and forever, For He is coming to reign; "Jesus, come quickly," still we are crying, While the time seemeth so long; Trusting the promise, still we are waiting, Singing the beautiful song.
