Representative Text

1. Perfect love I have for Jesus,
He doth cast all fear away;
Easing oft the pain of trial,
Vict'ry over Satan's sway.

Chorus:
Perfect love, Oh! sweet delight,
Giving us a wondrous sight
Of our Saviour's matchless love,
Watching o'er us from above.

2. Sweetest love from Heavn'n abiding,
Richest treasure coming down,
Perfect oneness with my Saviour,
Happiness of life the crown. [Chorus]

3. Tho' in passing thro' earth's pathway,
Many thorns and briers grow,
Trials gather thickly, daily
Balm from Heav'n to heal doth flow. [Chorus]

4. Let us love our precious Jesus,
Loving Him with all the heart;
Soon He'll gather all the chosen,
Never more from Him to part. [Chorus]

Stanton, Frederick S. (New Bedford, Massachusetts, December 20, 1857--October 1, 1915, New Bedford). Held a Bachelor of Music degree and was ordained to the Advent Christian ministry. He held pastorates at Hudson Falls, New York and Lawrence, Mass. Ill health and a final paralysis limited activity in his later years, although he supplied in various churches around New Bedford. He wrote words and music to a number of hymns, and composed the music for other Advent Christian hymn-writers. He was secretary of the Southern Massachusetts District Conference of his denomination. He contributed to the preparation of several of its hymnals, and was co-editor of The Golden Sheaf (1898), Carols of Hope (1906) and The Advent Christian Hymnal (1913).… Go to person page >
