With its shadows o’er me. (Refrain)

Hoping, trusting ever,
Till I reach the golden strand
Just beyond the river. (Refrain) Used With Tune: [Jesus, keep me near the cross]

Lord, I Hear of Showers of Blessing
Author: Elizabeth Codner, 1824-1919 Appears in 879 hymnals Topics: The Christian Way of Life Prayer and Watchfulness Lyrics: 1 Lord, I hear of showers of blessing,

Let some drops now fall on me.

Sinful though my heart may be;
Thou mightst leave me, but the rather
Let Thy mercy light on me,
Even me, Even me,
Let Thy mercy light on me.
3 Pass me not, O tender Saviour,
Let me love and cling to Thee;
I am longing for Thy favor;
While Thou'rt calling, O call me,
Even me, Even me,
While Thou'rt calling, O call me.
4 Love of God, so pure and changeless,
Blood of God, so rich, so free,
Grace of God, so strong and boundless,
Magnify them all in me,
Even me, Even me,
Magnify them all in me.

Guide Me, O Thou Great Jehovah
Author: William Williams, 1717-1791 Appears in 1,906 hymnals Topics: The Christian Way of Life Prayer and Watchfulness Lyrics: 1 Guide me, O Thou great Jehovah,
Pilgrim through this barren land;
I am weak, but Thou art mighty;
Hold me with Thy powerful hand;
Bread of heaven, Bread of heaven,
Feed me till I want no more,
Feed me till I want no more.
2 Open now the crystal fountain,
Whence the healing stream doth flow;
Let the fire and cloudy pillar
Lead me all my journey through;
Strong Deliverer, strong Deliverer,
Be Thou still my strength and shield,
Be Thou still 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 give to Thee,
I will ever give to Thee.

Jesus, I My Cross Have Taken
Author: Henry F. Lyte, 1793-1847 Appears in 1,352 hymnals Topics: The Christian Way of Life Prayer and Watchfulness Lyrics: 1 Jesus, I my cross have taken,
All to leave and follow Thee;
Destitute, despised, forsaken,
Thou from hence my all shalt be:
Perish every fond ambition,
All I've sought, and hoped, and known;
Yet how rich is my condition,
God and heaven are still my own!
2 Let the world despise and leave me,
They have left my Saviour too;
Human hearts and looks deceive me;
Thou art not, like man, untrue;
And, while Thou shalt smile upon me,
God of wisdom, love, and might,
Foes may hate, and friends may shun me;
Show Thy face, and all is bright.
3 Man may trouble and distress me,
'Twill but drive me to Thy breast;
Life with trials hard may press me,
Heaven will bring me sweeter rest.
O 'tis not in grief to harm me,
While Thy love is left to me;
O 'twere not in joy to charm me,
Were that joy ummixed with Thee.
4 Haste thee on from grace to glory,
Armed by faith and winged by prayer;
Heaven's eternal day's before thee,
God's own hand shall guide thee there.
Soon shall close thy earthly mission,
Swift shall pass thy pilgrim days,
Hope shall change to glad fruition,
Faith to sight, and prayer to praise.
Amen. Used With Tune: ELLESDIE
Jesus, I My Cross Have Taken
My Soul, Be on Thy Guard

Ten thousand foes arise;
The hosts of sin are pressing hard
To draw thee from the skies.
2 O watch, and fight, and pray,
The battle ne'er give o'er;
Renew it boldly every day,
And help divine implore.
3 Ne'er think the victory won,
Nor lay thine armor down;
The work of faith will not be done
Till thou obtain the crown.
4 Fight on, my soul, till death
Shall bring thee to thy God;
He'll take thee, at thy parting breath,
To His divine abode.
Amen. Used With Tune: LABAN

Somebody Did a Golden Deed

Proving himself a friend in need;
Somebody sang a cheerful song,
Brightening the sky the whole day long,
Was that somebody you?
Was that somebody you!
2 Somebody thought 'tis sweet to live,
Willingly said, "I'm glad to give;"
Somebody fought a valiant fight,
Bravely he lives to shield the right,
Was that somebody you?
Was that somebody you!
3 Somebody made a loving gift,
Cheerfully tried load to lift;
Somebody told the love of Christ,
Told how His will was sacrificed,
Was that somebody you?
Was that somebody you!
4 Somebody filled the days with light,
Constantly chased away the night;
Somebody's work bore joy and peace,
Surely his life shall never cease,
Was that somebody you?
Was that somebody you!

Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Appears in 2,078 hymnals Topics: The Christian Way of Life Stewardship and Service First Line: Am I a soldier of the cross Lyrics: 1 Am I a soldier of the cross?
A follower of the Lamb,
And shall I fear to own His cause,
Or blush to speak His name?

On flowery beds of ease,
While others fought to win the prize,
And sailed thro' bloody seas?
3 Are there no foes for me to face?
Must I not stem the flood?
Is this vile world a friend to grace,
To help me on to God?
4 Sure I must fight, if I would reign;
Increase my courage, Lord;
I'll bear the toil, endure the pain,
Supported by Thy word.

Shall reign eternally. (Refrain) Used With Tune: GEIBEL

with words of truth and grace.

the church on earth can raise!
the highest heavens in which he reigns
shall give him nobler praise. Scripture: Psalm 118:24 Used With Tune: BISHOPTHORPE
