I heard the voice of Jesus say
Come unto Me, and rest
Lay down, thou weary one, lay down
Thy head upon My breast
I came to Jesus as I was
Weary, and worn, and sad
I found in Him a resting-place
And He has made me glad
I heard the voice of Jesus say
Behold, I freely give
The living water: thirsty one
Stoop down, and drink, and live
I came to Jesus, and I drank
Of that life-giving stream
My thirst was quenched my soul revived
And now I live in Him
I heard the voice of Jesus say
“I am this dark world’s Light
Look unto Me, thy morn shall rise
And all thy day be bright"
I looked to Jesus, and I found
In Him my Star, my Sun
And in that Light of life I’ll walk
Till trav’lling days are done

How Firm a Foundation
03:40
|
|||
|
How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord
Is laid for your faith in His excellent word
What more can He say than to you He hath said
To you who for refuge to Jesus have
Fear not, I am with thee, oh, be not dismayed
For I am thy God, and will still give thee aid
I’ll strengthen thee, help thee, and cause thee to stand
Upheld by My gracious, omnipotent hand
When through the deep waters I call thee to go
The rivers of sorrow shall not overflow
For I will be with thee thy trouble to bless
And sanctify to thee thy deepest distress
The soul that on Jesus doth lean for repose
I will not, I will not, desert to his foes
That soul, though all hell should endeavor to shake
I’ll never, no never, no never forsake

For All the Saints
03:50
|
|||
|
For all the saints, who from their labors rest
Who thee by faith before the world confessed
Thy name, O Jesus, be forever bless’d
Alleluia, alleluia
And when the strife is fierce the warfare long
Steals on the ear, the distant triumph song
And hearts are brave, again and arms are strongt
Alleluia, alleluia
Alleluia, alleluia
From earth’s wide bounds, from ocean’s farthest coast
Through gates of pearl streams in the countless host
Singing to Father, Son, and Holy Ghost
Alleluia, alleluia
Alleluia, alleluia

When I Survey
03:48
|
|||
|
When I survey the wondrous cross
On which the Prince of glory died
My richest gain I count but loss
And pour contempt on all my pride
See from His head, His hands, His feet
Sorrow and love flow mingled down
Did e’er such love and sorrow meet
Or thorns compose so rich a crown
I look upon your mercy
Displayed upon the cross
I offer up my life as
A living sacrifice
Were the whole realm of nature mine
That were an offering far too small
Love so amazing, so divine
Demands my soul, my life, my all

Nothing but the Blood
05:02
|
|||
|
What can wash away my sin
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
What can make me whole again
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
Oh! precious is the flow
That makes me white as snow
No other fount I know
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
Nothing can for sin atone
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
Naught of good that I have done
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
This is all my hope and peace
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
This is all my righteousness
Nothing but the blood of Jesus

This is my Father's world
And to my listening ears
All nature sings, and round me rings
The music of the spheres
This is my Father's world
I rest me in the thought
Of rocks and trees, of skies and seas
His hand the wonders wrought
This is my Father's world
The birds their carols raise
The morning light, the lily white
Declare their Maker's praise
This is my Father's world
He shines in all that's fair
In the rustling grass I hear Him pass
He speaks to me everywhere
:
This is my Father's world
O let me ne'er forget
That though the wrong seems oft so strong,
God is the Ruler yet
This is my Father's world
Why should my heart be sad
The Lord is King: let the heavens ring
God reigns; let earth be glad
