How They Sing Up Yonder

Author: Harriet E. Jones Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.7.7.6 Appears in 7 hymnals First Line: When the sinner turns from sin Lyrics: 1 When the sinner turns from sin, How they sing up yonder! Comes to Christ sweet peace to win, How they sing up yonder! Asks for cleansing in the blood, Sinks beneath the healing flood, Rises, cleansed and owned of God, How they sing up yonder! 2 When the wanderer seeks his home, How they sing up yonder! Just a servant to become, How they sing up yonder! Leaves the byways cold and bare, Seeks again a Father’s care, All His wealth of love to share, How they sing up yonder! 3 Brother, would you join the song, In the home up yonder? Sing while ages roll along, In the home up yonder! Then forsake the paths so cold, Fly to Jesus and His fold, That your name may be enrolled, In the home up yonder!

Jesus, Only Jesus

Be our joyful song today, Jesus, only Jesus, He who took our sins away, Jesus, only Jesus; Name with every blessing rife, Be our joy and hope thro’ life, Be our strength in every strife, Jesus, only Jesus. 2. Once we wandered far from God, Knowing not of Jesus, Treading still the downward road, Leading far from Jesus. Till the Spirit taught us how, ’Neath the Savior’s yoke to bow, And we fain would follow now, Jesus, only Jesus. 3. Be our trust thro’ years to come, Jesus, only Jesus. Password to the heav’nly home, Jesus, only Jesus; When from sin and sorrow free, On thro’ all eternity, This our theme and song shall be, Jesus, only Jesus. Used With Tune: LAS VEGAS

Once A Woman Silent Stood

Author: John Newton Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.7.7.6 Appears in 7 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Once a woman silent stood While Jesus sat at meat; From her eyes she poured a flood, To wash His sacred feet: Shame and wonder, joy and love, All at once possessed her mind, That she e’er so vile could prove, Yet now forgiveness find. 2 "How came this vile woman here? Will Jesus notice such? Sure, if He a prophet were, He would disdain her touch!" Simon thus, with scornful heart, Slighted one whom Jesus loved, But her Savior took her part, And thus his pride reproved. 3 "If two men in debt were bound, One less, the other more; Fifty, or five hundred pound, And both alike were poor; Should the lender both forgive, When he saw them both distressed; Which of them would you believe, Engaged to love him best?" 4 "Surely he who much did owe," The Pharisee replied; Then our Lord, “By judging so, Thou dost for her decide: Simon, if like her you knew, How much you forgiveness need; You like her had acted too, And welcomed Me indeed! 5 "When the load of sin is felt, And much forgiveness known; Then the heart of course will melt, Though hard before as stone: Blame not then, her love and tears, Greatly she in debt has been: But I have removed her fears, And pardoned all her sin." 6 When I read this woman’s case, Her love and humble zeal; I confess, with shame of face, My heart is made of steel; Much has been forgiv’n to me, Jesus paid my heavy score, What a creature must I be, That I can love no more!
