I WILL PRAISE HIM

I WILL PRAISE HIM

When I saw the cleansing fountain
Open wide for all my sin,
I obeyed the Spirit’s wooing,
When He said, “Wilt thou be clean?”

Refrain

I will praise Him! I will praise Him!
Praise the Lamb for sinners slain;
Give Him glory, all ye people,
For His blood can wash away each stain.

Though the way seems straight and narrow,
All I claimed was swept away;
My ambitions, plans and wishes,
At my feet in ashes lay.

Refrain

Then God’s fire upon the altar
Of my heart was set aflame;
I shall never cease to praise Him
Glory, glory to His Name!

Refrain

Blessèd be the Name of Jesus!
I’m so glad He took me in;
He’s forgiven my transgressions,
He has cleansed my heart from sin.

Refrain

I LOVE HIM

I LOVE HIM

Gone from my heart
The world and all its charms
Now, through the blood,
I'm saved from all alarms,
Down at the cross
My heart is bending low;
The precious blood of Jesus
Cleanses white as snow.

Refrain

I love Him, I love Him
Because He first loved me
And purchased my salvation
On Calvary's tree.

Once I was lost,
And 'way down deep into sin;
Once I was a slave
To passions fierce within;
Once was afraid
To trust a loving God;
But now I'm cleansed from every stain
Through Jesus' blood.

Refrain

Once I was bound,
But now I am set free;
Once i was blind,
But now the light I see;
Once I was dead,
But now in Christ I live,
To tell the world around
The peace He doth give.

Refrain

HIDE ME

HIDE ME

Hide me, O my Savior, hide me
In Thy holy place;
Resting there beneath Thy glory,
O let me see Thy face.

Refrain

Hide me, hide me,
O blessèd Savior, hide me;
O Savior, keep me,
Safely, O Lord, with Thee.

Hide me, when the storm is raging
O’er life’s troubled sea;
Like a dove on ocean’s billows,
O let me fly to Thee.

Refrain

Hide me, when my heart is breaking
With its weight of woe;
When in tears I seek the comfort
Thou canst alone bestow.

Refrain

SUCH LOVE

SUCH LOVE

That God should love a sinner such as I,
Should yearn to turn my sorrow into bliss,
Nor rest till He had planned to bring me high,
How wonderful is love like this.

Such love, such wondrous love,
Such love, such wondrous love,
That God should love a sinner such as I,
How wonderful is love like this!

That Christ should join so freely in the scheme,
Although it meant His death on calvary,
Did ever human tongue find nobler theme
Than love divine that ransomed me!

Refrain

That for a willful outcast such as I'
The Father planned, the Saviour bled and died;
Redemption for a worthless slave to buy,
Who long had low and grace defied!

Refrain

And now He takes me to His heart, a son,
He asks me not to fill a servant's place;
The "far-off country" wand'rings are all done
Wide open are His arms of grace!

Refrain

I'VE WANDERED FAR AWAY

I'VE WANDERED FAR AWAY

I've wandered far away from God,
Now I'm coming home;
The paths of sin too long I've trod;
Lord, I'm coming home.

Coming home, coming home,
Never more to roam.
Open wide Thine arms of love
Lord, I'm coming home.

I've wasted many precious years,
Now I'm coming home;
I now repent with bitter tears
Lord, I'm coming home;

Refrain

My soul is sick, my heart is sore,
Now, I'm coming home;
My strength renew, my hope restore,
Lord, I'm coming home.

Refrain

My only hope, my only plea,
Now, I'm coming home;
That Jesus died, and died for me,
Lord, I'm coming home.

Refrain

I need His cleansing blood, I know,
Now, I'm coming home;
Oh, wash me whiter than the snow;
Lord, I'm coming home.

Refrain

COME AND DINE

COME AND DINE

Jesus has a table spread
Where the saints of God are fed,
He invites His chosen people, “Come and dine”;
With His manna He doth feed
And supplies our every need:
O ’tis sweet to sup with Jesus all the time!

Refrain

“Come and dine,” the Master calleth, “Come and dine”;
You may feast at Jesus’ table all the time;
He Who fed the multitude, turned the water into wine,
To the hungry calleth now, “Come and dine.”

The disciples came to land,
Thus obeying Christ’s command,
For the Master called unto them, “Come and dine”;
There they found their heart’s desire,
Bread and fish upon the fire;
Thus He satisfies the hungry every time.

Refrain

Soon the Lamb will take His bride
To be ever at His side,
All the host of Heaven will assembled be;
O ’twill be a glorious sight,
All the saints in spotless white;
And with Jesus they will feast eternally.

Refrain

TRUST AND OBEY

TRUST AND OBEY

When we walk with the Lord in the light of His Word,
What a glory He sheds on our way!
While we do His good will, He abides with us still,
And with all who will trust and obey.

Refrain

Trust and obey, for there’s no other way
To be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey.

Not a shadow can rise, not a cloud in the skies,
But His smile quickly drives it away;
Not a doubt or a fear, not a sigh or a tear,
Can abide while we trust and obey.

Refrain

Not a burden we bear, not a sorrow we share,
But our toil He doth richly repay;
Not a grief or a loss, not a frown or a cross,
But is blessed if we trust and obey.

Refrain

But we never can prove the delights of His love
Until all on the altar we lay;
For the favor He shows, for the joy He bestows,
Are for them who will trust and obey.

Refrain

Then in fellowship sweet we will sit at His feet.
Or we’ll walk by His side in the way.
What He says we will do, where He sends we will go;
Never fear, only trust and obey.

Refrain

TAKE THE WORLD, BUT GIVE ME JESUS

TAKE THE WORLD, BUT GIVE ME JESUS

Take the world, but give me Jesus,
All its joys are but a name;
But His love abideth ever,
Through eternal years the same.

Refrain

Oh, the height and depth of mercy!
Oh, the length and breadth of love!
Oh, the fullness of redemption,
Pledge of endless life above!

Take the world, but give me Jesus,
Sweetest comfort of my soul;
With my Savior watching o’er me,
I can sing though billows roll.

Refrain

Take the world, but give me Jesus,
Let me view His constant smile;
Then throughout my pilgrim journey
Light will cheer me all the while.

Refrain

Take the world, but give me Jesus.
In His cross my trust shall be,
Till, with clearer, brighter vision,
Face to face my Lord I see.

Refrain
