Cleansing for Me

Author: Herbert Booth Meter: 10.8.10.8.10.10.10.8 Appears in 24 hymnals First Line: Lord, through the blood of the Lamb that was slain Lyrics: 1. Lord, through the blood of the Lamb that was slain, Cleansing for me, cleansing for me; From all the guilt of my sins now I claim Cleansing from Thee, cleansing from Thee. Sinful and black though the past may have been, Many the crushing defeats I have seen, Yet on Thy promise, O Lord, I now lean, Cleansing for me, cleansing for me. 2. From all the sins over which I have wept, Cleansing for me, cleansing for me; Far, far away by the blood-current swept, Cleansing for me, cleansing for me; Jesus, Thy promise I dare to believe, And as I come Thou wilt surely receive, That over sin I may never more grieve, Cleansing for me, cleansing for me. 3. From all the doubts that have filled me with gloom, Cleansing for me, cleansing for me; From all the fears that would point me to doom, Cleansing for me, cleansing for me; Jesus, although I may not understand, In childlike faith now I stretch forth my hand, And through Thy Word and Thy grace I shall stand, Cleansèd by Thee, cleansèd by Thee. 4. From all the care of what men think or say, Cleansing for me, cleansing for me; From ever fearing to speak, sing or pray, Cleansing for me, cleansing for me; Lord, in Thy love and Thy power make me strong That all may know that to Thee I belong; When I am tempted, let this be my song, Cleansing for me, cleansing for me.

Joyfully, joyfully, onward I move

Author: William Hunter Appears in 322 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Joyfully, joyfully, onward I move, Bound for the land of bright glory above; Angelic choristers sing as I come, "Joyfully, joyfully, haste to thy home." Soon shall I pass from this dark vale of woe, Home to the land of the righteous I'll go; Pilgrim and stranger, no more shall I roam, Joyfully, joyfully, resting at home. 2 Friends fondly cherished now sleep in the ground, But they'll awake when the last trump shall sound, Loosed from Death's fetters, and upward we'll soar, Joyfully meeting to part nevermore. Sounds of sweet melody fall on the ear; Harps of the blessed, your voices I'll hear Filling with harmony heaven's high dome, "Joyfully, joyfully, haste to thy home." 3 Death with his weapons of war has laid low Many a pilgrim who feared not the blow; Jesus has broken the bars of the tomb; Joyfully, joyfully, will they come home. Bright will the morn of eternity dawn, Death shall be banished, his scepter be gone; Joyfully, then, shall I witness his doom, Joyfully, joyfully, safely at home.

Had I The Wings Of A Dove

Author: Marion P. Aird Meter: 10.8.10.8.10.10.10.8 Appears in 4 hymnals First Line: Had I the wings of a dove, I would fly Lyrics: 1 Had I the wings of a dove, I would fly Far, far away, far, far away. Where not a cloud ever darkens the sky, Far, far away, far, far away. Fadeless the flow’rs in yon Eden that blow, Green, green the bow’rs where the still waters flow, Hearts like their garments are pure as the snow, Far, far away, far, far away. 2 There never trembles a sigh of regret, Far, far away, far, far away. Stars of the morning in glory ne’er set; Far, far away, far, far away. There I for ever from sorrow would rest, Leaning with joy on Emmanuel’s breast, Tears never flow in the home of the blest, Far, far away, far, far away. 3 Friends there united in glory ne’er part, Far, far away, far, far away. One is their temple, their home, and their heart, Far, far away, far, far away. River of crystal and city of gold, Portals of pearl such a glory unfold; Eye cannot image, and tongue hath not told, Far, far away, far, far away. 4 List how yon harpers on golden harps play— Come, come away, come, come away. Falling and frail is your cottage of clay— Come, come away, come, come away. Come to these mansions, there’s room yet for you, Dwell with the Friend ever faithful and true, Sing ye the song never old, ever new, Come, come away, come, come away.

Long, Long Ago

Author: T. H. B. Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Tell me the tales that to me were so dear Lyrics: 1 Tell me the tales that to me were so dear, Long, long ago, Long, long ago; Sing me the songs I delighted to hear, Long, long ago, long ago. Now you are come all my grief is removed, Let me forget that so long you have rov'd. Let me believe that you love as you lov'd, Long, long ago, long ago. 2 Do you remember the path where we met, Long, long ago, Long, long ago? Ah, yes, you told me you ne'er would forget, Long, long ago, long ago. Then, to all others my smile you prefer'd, Love, when you spoke, gave a charm to each word, Still my heart treasures the praises, I heard, Long, long ago, long ago. 3 Tho' by your kindness my fond hopes were rais'd, Long, long ago, Long, long ago, You by more eloquent lips have been prais'd, Long, long ago, long ago. But by long absence your truth has been tried, Still to your accents I listen with pride, Blest as I was when I sat by your side. Long, long ago, long ago.

Come to Him Now

Author: W. N. Ogborn Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Jesus invites you to feast with Him now Lyrics: 1. Jesus invites you to feast with Him now; Come to Him now, come to Him now; If at His cross you will but meekly bow, Come to Him now, come to Him now; Jesus will pardon if you will confess; Jesus will turn into joy your distress; Jesus will save and most wondrously bless; Come to Him now, come to Him now. 2. If you but knew of the joy He’ll impart, Come to Him now, come to Him now; You would most gladly surrender your heart; Come to Him now, come to Him now; He’ll write your name in the Lamb’s book of life; He’ll drive away all your sorrow and strife; He’ll make your pathway with vict’ry more rife; Come to Him now, come to Him now. 3. Jesus is ready salvation to give, Come to Him now, come to Him now; Will you not hasten, and pardon receive? Come to Him now, come to Him now; Now while He calls you, O brother, obey; Now while He’s waiting, no longer delay; Jesus is anxious to save you today; Come to Him now, come to Him now. 4. If you refuse Him a place in your heart, Come to Him now, come to Him now; He may forever, and ever depart; Come to Him now, come to Him now; If His sad death on the cross you despise, Closing your heart against love’s sacrifice, You at the last may be filled with surprise; Come to Him now, come to Him now.
