| 1 Weary Rest | I heard the voice of Jesus say
I found in Him a resting place,
I heard the voice of Jesus say
“I am this dark world's light.
I found in Him my star, my sun,
|
| 4 Copeland | I pray that God will keep me true,
|
| 5t Dear Friends, Farewell | Dear friends, farewell, I do you tell,
Since you and I must part;
I go away and here you stay,
How can I bear to journey where
With you I cannot meet?
|
| 6 Babel's Streams | With all the pow'r and skill I have
I'll gently touch each string,
If I can reach that charming sound,
I'll tune my harp again.
|
| 7 Jehovah is My God | Dear Lord, I come, to Thee just now,
In pity hear, I pray;
In faith I now before Thee bow,
And when I hear Thy spirit say,
I hold more firmly to His hand,
When I shall lay my burdens down,
I want to hear God's trumpet sound,
|
| 11 Minister's Farewell | Dear friends, farewell I do you tell,
Since you and I must part.
I go away, and here you stay,
How can I bear to journey where
With you I cannot meet.
Yet do I find my heart inclined
When Christ doth call I trust I shall
I leave you all, both great and small,
I trust you'll pray, both night and day,
I hope the Lord will you reward
If I'm called home whilst I am gone,
I hope to sing, and praise my King
|
| 12 Gate of Home | As on life's rugged path I roam,
The gate of home I see.
O have I waged the fight with sin,
Have I been faithful to my Lord?
|
| 13 Traveler's Hope | I'll join with those who've gone before,
To earthly cares I bid farewell,
|
| 14 I'll Serve My Lord | I'll gladly serve my blessed Lord,
Though so unworthy I may be,
I hear His tender voice;
|
| 17 Call to Arms | My brethren all on you I call;
|
| 20 Prison Chains | In sin's dark prison I was bound,
I'm free from ev'ry haunting fear;
I go about and gladly shout,
I'm happy to be called His own,
I'll tell it all my earthly days;
I go about and gladly shout,
|
| 24b Fredrica | To God, in whom I trust,
I lift my heart and voice;
|
| 26b Ninety-Third | And new supplies each hour I meet
|
| 28b Watchman (First) | I was His chief delight,
I dwelt at His right hand.
|
| 30b Dennis | I trust in His almighty pow'r,
I trust a faithful God;
|
| 31t Home | O God forbid that I should sigh,
I feel my work is done.
|
| 32t Rayfield | I raise my wond'ring eye,
When I survey the stars,
|
| 34 Going Home | The day is drawing near, I know,
As I, a pilgrim sadly roam.
|
| 37 Heaven's My Home | I seek a better home than this,
Though awhile the earth I roam;
|
| 40t Mamie | I pray we'll meet together there
My Christian friends I hope that I
|
| 42 Joy Bells | Now I hear them clinging,
I will soon be with them yonder,
I'll be true till death shall call me,
|
| 44t Morning Sun | Serene I laid me down,
I slept and I awoke and found,
|
| 47 Panting for Heaven | Fain would I make thine heav'n my own,
Though I wander sad and alone,
Soon I shall leave it all behind.
When I shall unite in your song?
I'm weary of lingering here,
And I to your Saviour belong.
I'm fettered and chained up in clay,
I struggle and pant to be free:
I long to be soaring away,
|
| 49 Forever with the Lord | Absent from Him I roam,
Yet nightly will I pitch my tent
To reach the land I love,
Like Noah's dove, I flit between,
|
| 54 My Trust | I'm not ashamed to own my Lord
Jesus my God, I know His name,
What I've committed to His hands
|
| 55t Carolina | A charge to keep I have,
|
| 55b Idumea | And am I born to die?
Soon as from earth I go,
I from my grave shall rise;
|
| 56b Sing to Me of Heaven | When I am call'd to die;
|
| 57 Salvation's Rock | Firmly I stand on Zion's hill,
On Him I fix my hope:
|
| 58t Liverpool | And hear what I shall say;
I wish your souls with Christ to live
Young people all, I pray then view
|
| 59b Dove of Peace | And I will rove this world all o'er,
I sought her in the groves of love,
I knew her tender heart;
I sought her on the flow'ry lawn,
So there I sought in vain.
I sought her there, though vainly still,
Then whisper'd “I will tell you where
|
| 62t Sweet Hope (First) | I, even I shall see His face;
I shall be holy here.
To me reached out I view;
Conqu'ror through Him I soon shall seize,
I now exult to see:
|
| 63b Pardoning Love | In evil long I took delight,
|
| 65 The Golden Hill | To God in whom I trust,
I lift my heart and voice;
|
| 67b Dundee | I ask not wealth nor fame;
|
| 68 Bright Mansions | “If I go away” said he,
“I'll come back and call for thee;”
But I hope to meet them there,
O could I view that bright place,
|
| 69 Rocky Mount | Accept the praise I bring.
But when I see Thee as Thou art,
I'll praise Thee as I ought.
|
| 70b Brown | I love to steal awhile away
I want to go, I want to go,
I want to go there, too;
I want to go where Jesus is,
I want to go there too.
I love in solitude to shed
I love to think on mercies past,
On Him whom I adore.
|
| 72t Jordan | On Jordan's stormy banks I stand,
|
| 72b Joyful News | I'll seek His face without delay,
By nature I am all defiled,
|
| 73b Downs | Soon as I know Thy way,
I choose the path of heav'nly truth,
I set before my eyes;
Thence I derive my daily strength,
|
| 75 Sprague | I ask them whence their vict'ry came;
|
| 76t Brainerd | Father I stretch my hands to Thee,
No other help I know;
Ah! wither shall I go?
Before I drew my breath?
O Jesus, could I this believe,
I now should feel Thy pow'r!
|
| 76b Night | With cheerful heart I close my eyes,
Where I may sing Thy praise.
|
| 78b New Britain | I once was lost, but now am found,
Was blind, but now I see.
The hour I first believed.
I have already come;
|
| 79 Kingwood | And I must launch through endless deeps,
|
| 80 The Blind Girl | I dream of them by day, by night,
I cannot touch the distant skies,
I know not why, but often think
And when I hear the voice I dream
And this, I say, is heav'n.
Go with me when I die;
|
| 82t Lady Touch Thy Harp Again | While I catch its echoes sweet,
|
| 82b Gospel Waves | Fear not, 'tis I (Jesus speaks!) O wavering child. (Trust in Me.)
|
| 85 Mercy Seat | If I forget the mercy seat.
|
| 86t Ortonville | Accept the praise I bring.
But when I see Thee as Thou art,
I'll praise Thee as I ought.
Till then, I would Thy love proclaim,
|
| 86b Hicks' Farewell | When I must faint and die;
Through heats and colds I've often went,
|
| 87 The Promised Land | On Jordan's stormy banks I stand,
I'm bound for the promised land,
I'm bound for the promised land
I'm bound for the promised land.
|
| 88 Pisgah | I now the cross sustain,
|
| 90 Brightest Days | And whisper I am His.
I'd break through ev'ry foe;
|
| 91 There is a Fountain | E'er since by faith I saw the stream
And shall be till I die.
I'll sing Thy pow'r to save,
|
| 94 Plenary | Transported with the view, I'm lost
While in the silent womb I lay,
With heedless steps I ran,
|
| 95 Canaan's Land | I need the influ'nce of Thy grace
Lest I should loiter in my race,
|
| 98 Christian Soldier | Am I a soldier of the cross,
And shall I fear to own His cause,
Must I be carried to the skies
Must I not stem the flood?
Sure I must fight, if I would reign,
I'll bear the toil, endure the pain,
|
| 99 Pleasant Hill | May I its great importance learn,
|
| 100 Tennessee | “What have I gained by sin,” he said,
Whilst I am starving here:
I'll go and tell him all I've done,
I'll ask a servant's place.”
“Father, I've sinned, but O forgive!”
For whom I've mourned as dead.”
|
| 101 An Address for All | I sing a song which does belong to all the human race,
Come listen all unto my call which I do make today,
For you must die as well as I, and pass from hence away.
|
| 102 Missionary's Adieu | And names I love them well,
How can I say “Farewell”?
|
| 104 Everlasting Song | 'Tis time I lift mine eyes
|
| 105t Tender Care | Transported with the view, I'm lost
With heedless steps I ran,
|
| 105b Hamburg | When I survey the wondrous cross,
My richest gain I count but loss,
Forbid it, Lord! that I should boast,
I sacrifice them to His blood.
|
| 106 Sweet Rivers | Had I the pinions of a dove,
I'd to those rivers rise:
I'd rise superior to my pain,
While I'm imprisoned here below,
Ofttimes my troubles I forego
I then behold my heart's delight,
And I shall join the heav'nly host
I view the monster death, and smile,
Triumphant I can sing:
I hold my Saviour in my arms,
I'm so delighted with His charms,
No other good I know.
|
| 107 Resignation (First) | When I forsake His ways,
When I walk through the shades of death,
There would I find a settled rest,
|
| 108 Redeeming Love | While I'm imprisoned here below,
Ofttimes my troubles I forego
I then behold my heart's delight,
And I shall join the heav'nly host
|
| 109 Not Made with Hands | I know I know I have another building;
I know, I know
|
| 110 Volunteers | A soldier I will be;
I will enlist, gird on my arms,
|
| 111b Judkins | With cheerful heart I close mine eyes,
Where I may sing Thy praise.
|
| 113 The Converted Thief | I see Thee bathed in sweat and tears,
|
| 117 Angel Band | I know I'm near the holy ranks
I brush the dew on Jordan's banks,
I've almost gained my heav'nly home;
I hear the noise of wings.
|
| 119 Weary Souls | I hope that I shall meet you there
|
| 121t Prosperity | O may I worthy prove to see,
I'll praise Him while He gives me breath,
I hope to praise Him after death,
I hope to praise Him when I die,
And shout salvation as I fly,
|
| 122 The Dying Boy | I'm dying, mother, dying now
I'll soon be freed from all the pain,
For now I am so weak.
I soon must go, but do not fear,
I'll live in endless day.
I can no longer stay,
When I am with the dead?
I'm sinking fast, my mother, dear,
I can no longer dwell;
Yet I'll be with you do not fear,
|
| 125t Endless Joy | While on His breast I lean my head,
|
| 125b Day Dawn | And there may I, though vile as he,
|
| 128t Hester | I love to see the Lord below,
I love to worship at His feet,
I love to meet Him in the courts,
Or I too soon remove.
O Lord, I love Thy service now;
But soon in heav'n I'll to Thee bow,
|
| 128b Ninety-Fifth | When I can read my title clear
I'll bid farewell to ev'ry fear,
Then I can smile at Satan's rage,
So I but safely reach my home,
There I shall bathe my weary soul
|
| 130b Passing Away | And must I be to judgment brought,
And ev'ry word I say?
And I receive my just desert
For all that I have done.
How careful then, ought I to be:
|
| 131 Will You Meet Me? | I am going home today
Soon I'll be at rest above,
With the angels I shall stand,
I will anchor safe at last.
I'll be safe from all alarms;
From all suff'ring I'll be free;
|
| 133 Juniata | Jesus, I love Thy charming name,
Fain would I sound it out so loud
I'll speak the honors of Thy name
|
| 138 Rest in the Kingdom | And I felt so unworthy and blue,
Then I heard Jesus say
While I knelt down to pray,
When to heaven I've ascended,
Not a friend could I trust to be true,
I was lost, I was sad, I was blue,
Then I heard Jesus' voice
|
| 142 The Solid Rock | I dare not trust the sweetest frame,
On Christ, the solid Rock I stand;
I rest on His unchanging grace;
Oh, may I then in Him be found;
|
| 144b Walk with God | Where is the blessedness I knew
When first I saw the Lord?
What peaceful hours I once enjoyed!
|
| 145t Milledgeville | Far from the world, O Lord, I flee,
|
| 146t Solemn Warning | Attend, young friends, while I relate
|
| 147 Fairfield | I'll go to Jesus, though my sin
I know His courts, I'll enter in,
Prostrate I'll lie before His throne,
I'll tell Him I'm a wretch undone,
I'll to the gracious King approach,
But if I perish, I will pray,
I can but perish if I go;
I am resolved to try;
For if I stay away, I know
I must forever die.
But if I die with mercy sought,
When I the King have tried,
|
| 148 Leander | Am I a soldier of the cross,
And shall I fear to own His cause,
Must I be carried to the skies
Must I not stem the flood?
Sure I must fight, if I would reign;
I'll bear the toil, endure the pain,
|
| 149 A Good Time Coming | When I think about the many mansions there,
Then I look across with longing eye;
I am striving to be ready for that day,
And I know the time is drawing nigh;
|
| 150 Salvation | I'll go to Jesus, though my sin
I know His courts, I'll enter in,
Prostrate I'll lie before His throne,
I'll tell Him I'm a wretch undone,
I'll do the gracious King approach,
But if I perish I will pray,
I can but perish if I go;
I am resolved to try;
For if I stay away, I know
I must forever die.
|
| 151 Sweet Prospect | Where is the blessedness I knew
When first I saw the Lord?
What peaceful hours I then enjoyed!
But now I find an aching void
I hate the sins that made Thee mourn,
The dearest idol I have known,
|
| 152b Messiah | So shall I to my ways take heed,
To all I speak or do.
Before I at Thy bar appear.
|
| 153 Columbus | Oh, once I had a glor'ous view
He said, “I'll be a God to you”
And I believed His word.
But now I have a deeper stroke
He's gone, I know not where.
Oh, what immortal joys I felt,
I've strayed! I'm left! I know not how;
Once I rejoiced the saints to meet,
I then could stoop to wash their feet,
But now I meet them as the rest,
Or else I've nought to say.
I once could mourn o'er dying men,
I travailed for their poor children,
I forward go in duty's way,
Then backwards on the road I stray,
And on the right I find Him not,
What shall I do? shall I lie down,
He knows the way I've strolled;
And when I'm tried sufficiently,
I shall come forth as gold.
|
| 154 Happy Time | Since I have met the saints once more,
When I with you my love renew,
Oh, what a heav'n have I.
My sorrows passed and I at last
My heart to Jesus I have giv'n,
And I'm for Canaan bound:
If I could know which of you'd go,
I'd take you by the hand,
|
| 155 Solemn Call | I sing a song which doth belong
Which I do make today
For you must die as well as I,
|
| 156 Repentance | How would I vent my sighs?
|
| 158 The Land of Rest | How I long to be there,
|
| 159b Long Sought Home | Oh, how I long for thee!
Thy joys when shall I see?
My friends, I bid you all adieu,
I leave you in God's care;
And if I here no more see you,
Go on, I'll meet you there.
|
| 160 The Saint's Delight | When I can read my title clear,
I'll bid farewell to ev'ry fear,
I feel like I'm on my journey home.
Then I can smile at Satan's rage,
So I but safely reach my home,
There I shall bathe my weary soul
|
| 163t Hollis | God of my life, to Thee I call,
Afflicted at Thy feet I fall;
Where shall I lodge my deep complaint,
|
| 163b Burroughs | My Saviour calls and I must go;
I launch my barque upon the sea,
I hope in Christ you'll still go on;
I hope you'll all remember me,
If you on earth no more I see;
An int'rest in your prayers I crave
|
| 164t Convict | I come, I come to Thee, my God!
I am so guilty I'm ashamed;
But I will come, with heart and hand,
And own how guilty, Lord, I am.
Be with me now or I must die;
I come to Thee with heart and hand,
I am, I am a sinful man.
|
| 164b The Pilgrim's Song | I am a stranger here below,
And what I am, 'tis hard to know:
I am so vile, so prone to sin,
I fear that I'm not born again.
When I exper'ence call to mind,
Which makes me think that I am wrong.
I find myself out of the way,
Like one alone, I seem to be,
|
| 166 What Can I Do? | What can I do for my dear King,
Can I to Him some tribute bring,
Dear Lord, I give this life to Thee,
O may I by some word or deed,
I'll go dear Lord, where you may lead
I pray Thee Saviour, make me strong,
If I can lead one soul above
How happy I would be;
|
| 167t Detroit | Do not I love Thee, O my Lord?
Do I not love Thee from my soul?
|
| 168b Sunrise | I'm weary of the pain,
I long to sail away
I'll meet my friends gone on before;
How happy I will be
When from the earth I'm free,
I'll sing my Saviour's praise
I'll join the angel's song,
|
| 170 On My Way | I'm on my way with Christ today
And at His side I shall abide,
With Jesus near, I shall not fear
The many trials I shall meet;
His love will share the ills I bear
I shall not yield for He will shield
There I shall sing to Christ my King
|
| 175 O How I Love Jesus | There is a name I love to hear,
I love to sing its worth;
Oh, how I love Jesus,
And though I tread a darksome path,
|
| 176 Heavenly Treasures | Oh, won't you come with me? I'm going home
To walk the streets with loved ones that I long to see,
I won't be a stranger up there with God,
For here His way I trod;
|
| 178 That Beautiful Land | O I long, O I long to be there.
I have friends who have gone to that land on high,
And I trust I shall meet them above the sky,
O I long, O I long to be there.
O I long, O I long to be there.
|
| 179 Traveling On | I feel like traveling on;
I feel like traveling on.
Yes, I feel like traveling on;
I feel like traveling on.
I feel like traveling on;
I feel like traveling on.
I feel like traveling on;
I feel like traveling on.
I feel like traveling on
I feel like traveling on.
I feel like traveling on;
Until that blessed home I see,
I feel like traveling on.
|
| 180 The Sinless Summerland | I am longing for the coming of the snow-white angel band,
As I tread the narrow pathway through the thorny vale I dream
I am longing for the coming
I am waiting for the signal that shall speak my full release,
I shall sing among the angels by the golden throne of God.
I am longing to be going, yet my Father's kind command,
When my pilgrimage is ended I shall stem the turbid flood,
|
| 184 Where We'll Never Grow Old | I have heard of a land
|
| 185 Corinth | No: when I blush be this my shame,
That I no more revere His name.
Ashamed of Jesus! yes, I may,
When I've no sins to wash away;
|
| 186 Lord Remember Me | When I shall stand at the judgement of God,
I cannot stand there in judgement alone,
Lord, I'm depending on you.
Lord, I'm depending on you in that hour,
Will I be one of the few?
Lord, I'm depending on you.
Then I can go to my Saviour in prayer,
Lord, I'm depending on you.
Lord, I'm depending on you.
|
| 188 He Loves Me | For such a worm as I?
He loves me this I know;
Was it for crimes that I have done,
The debt of love I owe;
Here, Lord I give myself away,
'Tis all that I can do.
|
| 192 The Penitent | How would I vent my sighs?
|
| 193 Kay | I love the Lord for what He's done;
I feel my sins are all forgiv'n,
And I've a resting place in heav'n.
And I am chained to earth no more,
With what glad accents shall I rise
|
| 194 O Happy Day | While to that sacred shrine I move.
I am the Lord's, and He is mine;
He drew me, and I followed on,
|
| 199 Vernon | Whom still I hold, but cannot see;
And I am left alone with Thee.
With Thee all night I mean to stay,
I need not tell Thee who I am,
But who, I ask Thee, who art Thou?
I never will give up my hold;
Wrestling, I will not let Thee go,
Till I Thy name, Thy nature know.
|
| 200 Parting Hand | Yet when I see that we must part,
Oh could I stay with friends so kind;
How oft I've seen your flowing tears,
I hope in Christ you'll still go on;
I hope you'll all remember me
If you on earth no more I see;
An int'rest in your prayers I crave,
|
| 201 Mission | While I address you in God's name;
I've sought for bliss in glitt'ring toys,
Until I heard my Saviour's voice.
And thus I found the heav'nly way.
And now with trembling sense I view
|
| 204t What a Day | I know my Lord will pilot me,
And I'll dwell with Him above,
|
| 204b Evening Bells | When last I heard those soothing chimes.
And so 'twill be when I am gone,
|
| 206 Prayer Meeting | I'll cast on Him my ev'ry care
May I thy consolation share,
I view my home and take my flight;
This robe of flesh I'll drop, and rise
|
| 208t He Lives | I know that my Redeemer lives;
|
| 208b French Broad | But far above them I must dwell,
Oh, God! forbid that I should fall
But may I rise on wings of love,
Although I walk the mountains high,
There I must lie till that great day,
Then will I sing God's praises there,
I'll sing, and be forever blest,
|
| 210b Contented Soldier | I've listed in the holy war,
I draw my rations from above,
|
| 211t Hopewell | He whom I fix my hopes upon;
His track I see and I'll pursue
The narrow way till Him I view.
Hallelujah! I love the Lord;
|
| 212 Christian Prospect | I feel no ways like getting tired
I am making for the harbor,
I hope to get there by and by,
|
| 215 In That Morning | He whom I fix my hopes upon,
His track I see, and I'll pursue,
The narrow way, till Him I view,
I have some friends before me gone,
I am determined to follow on,
He died for you, I hope for me.
|
| 216b Social Band | Behold! I see among the rest,
Say, who are these I now behold,
|
| 217 Jerusalem | He whom I fix my hopes upon;
His track I see and I'll pursue
The narrow way till Him I view.
I'm on my journey home,
I am going home.
I'll go, for all His paths are peace.
|
| 221t Pleyel's Hymn | When I faint with summer's heat,
Safe the dreary vale I tread,
|
| 221b Poor, Weak, and Worthless | Poor, weak and worthless though I am,
I have a rich, Almighty Friend;
And says that I shall shortly be,
|
| 224b Hark My Soul | “I delivered thee when bound,
Yet I will remember thee.
|
| 225b Martin | Other refuge have I none;
All my help from Thee I bring;
|
| 228 Pass Me Not | Would I seek Thy face;
|
| 232t Heavenly Armor | Through grace I am determined
To conquer though I die;
On wings of love I'll fly.
I bid you all adieu,
|
| 232b Olean | Why do I fear the darkest hour,
Why should I either flee or yield,
I know not what may soon betide.
|
| 233 Believer and His Soul | O, I sink beneath the load
How can I be cheerful?
This by faith I sometimes view,
O, I'm leprous, filthy, foul,
Have not I, if any soul,
And what works have I to plead,
If from death I'm fully saved,
Why am I not healthy?
I depend on solely,
I would be holy.
That He can, I nothing doubt,
But I feel myself so hard.
But I'm cold, I'm dark, I'm dead.
|
| 234 The Singing Christian | I can not but rejoice.
|
| 235 Faithful Soldier | Oh, when shall I see Jesus,
When shall I be delivered
But now I am a soldier,
Through grace I am determined
To conquer though I die,
On wings of love I'll fly:
I bid you all adieu!
|
| 236b Complainer | I am a great complainer that bears the name of Christ;
I've many sore temptations, and sorrows to my soul;
I feel my faith declining and my affections cold.
So I am filled with folly, and so neglect to pray;
I am so weak I stumble, and so I'm left behind,
|
| 238 Child's Wish | I want to be an angel,
I'll make the sweetest music,
I never should be weary,
I'll dwell in Jesus' sight,
I know I'm weak and sinful,
Dear Saviour, when I languish,
O there I'll be an angel,
I'll join the heav'nly music,
|
| 239b I Want to Be an Angel | I want to be an angel,
I'll make the sweetest music,
|
| 241 Closer Walk with God | I want my friends to go with me
I want my friends to go with me
Where is the blessedness I knew,
When first I saw the Lord?
|
| 244t Mutual Love | O when shall I see Jesus,
When shall I be delivered
But now I am a soldier,
|
| 244b The Christian's Conflicts | But O how I am tempted
So often I'm surrounded
My Jesus I have found,
|
| 245 Bozrah | I that reign in righteousness,
Son of God and man I am;
|
| 246 The Good Physician | I thought a cure to gain;
I looked, and I was healed.
|
| 247 Oh! How Charming | O when shall I see Jesus
But now I am a soldier,
Through grace I am determined
To conquer, though I die;
On wings of love I'll fly.
|
| 248 Twilight is Falling | Lonely I wander, sadly I roam,
Cheering my pathway, while here I roam,
|
| 249 Green Fields | When Jesus no longer I see;
But when I am happy in Him,
I should, were He always thus nigh,
No mortal as happy as I,
Dear Lord, if indeed I am Thine,
Say why do I languish and pine,
|
| 250b Disciple | Jesus, I my cross have taken,
All I've sought, or hoped, or known.
I have called Thee Abba, Father,
I have set my heart on Thee;
|
| 253 Is It Far? | I am weary waiting here alone;
I shall soon cross Jordan's rolling tide,
|
| 256b Sacred Rest | Then shall I share a glor'ous part,
Then shall I see, and hear and know
All I desired and wished below;
|
| 259t Crumly | While I see divine compassion
Here it is I find my heaven,
While I gaze upon the Lamb.
Love I much, I've much forgiven,
I'm a miracle of grace.
With my tears His feet I'll bathe;
May I still enjoy this feeling,
|
| 259b Olney | Daily I'm constrained to be!
Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it,
Prone to leave the God I love;
|
| 260t Bavaria | Jesus I my cross have taken,
All I've sought, or hoped, or known,
|
| 261t Come Thou Fount | Praise the mount, I'm fixed upon it,
I shall see Thy lovely face,
How I'll sing Thy sov'reign grace;
|
| 261b Alone | And I cannot here longer stay.
|
| 265 Mourner's Lamentation | Oh, woe is me that I was born!
Fain would I be some earthly worm,
Or had I died when I was young,
Oh, what would I have given!
But now may I lament my case,
From day to day I look for peace,
How can I live! how can I rest!
For I am weary of my life,
Without relief I soon shall die,
For I am resolved here to trust,
For such I ne'er rejected;
I am such soul's protector
“I come to seek, I come to save,
I come to make atonement,
I lived, I died, laid in the grave,
By faith my glor'ous Lord I see,
|
| 266 Chrystler's Field | My brethren all, on you I call;
|
| 272 Felicity | Soon with angels I'll be marching,
Lo! I come, earth can't contain me,
|
| 274 Mother Tell Me of the Angels | I am weary waiting mother;
Mother, when I wake at morning,
Then I think dear father's near;
But I wait till twilight's coming,
Yes, I know that we shall greet him
|
| 275 Missionary's Farewell | Yes, my native land, I love thee,
All thy scenes I love them well;
Can I bid you all farewell?
Can I leave you,
Happy home! 'tis sure I love thee!
Can I, can I say farewell?
Can I leave thee,
Can I say at last farewell?
Can I leave you,
Yes, I hasten from you gladly,
From the scenes I loved so well!
Pleased I leave thee,
|
| 278 God Holds the Future | I want to trust in Jesus' love,
Till I am safe with Him above,
I care not for earth's silver, gold,
|
| 281t Am I Born to Die? | And am I born to die?
I from my grave shall rise,
|
| 281b Palmetto | Which before the cross I spend;
Here I'll sit forever viewing mercy's
Had I heart to hold its pleasure,
Had I tongue to tell its bliss;
Could I share with all my treasure,
I've a home in realms of gold.
|
| 284 Don't Grieve Your Mother | I had a mother, loving and true,
Well I remember, how sad the day,
Where I will meet her, she whom I love.
|
| 286 Ganges | My soul in guilt and thrall I found,
Amazed I stood, but could not tell
I strove indeed, but strove in vain,
When to the law I trembling fled,
I no relief could find:
Alas, I read, and saw it plain,
The saints I heard with rapture tell
But when I found this truth remain,
I sank in deep despair.
But while I thus in anguish lay,
|
| 290 Amity | How pleased and blest was I
|
| 291 Warrenton | I am bound for the kingdom
Here I raise my Ebenezer,
Hither by Thy help I'm come;
And I hope, by Thy good pleasure,
|
| 292 Grief of Love | I travel on in pain;
I hope the prize to gain.
But when I come to bid adieu,
To those I dearly love,
I hope you'll all be faithful,
|
| 294 Carmarthen | Rejoice, again I say rejoice!
|
| 296 He's Holding My Hand | I'm pressing onward day by day,
To His control I trust my all,
I tell Him all my griefs and woes,
I feel no way like turning back,
I've left the broad and downward track,
|
| 297 Lucas | “I have fought my way through;
I have finished the work which Thou gav'st me to do,”
|
| 298 My Shepherd Guides | If I but trust His holy word
In paths of right I'll stay.
I'll fear no evil if He leads,
Though I walk through the valley dark,
I'll praise Thee Lord of all.
|
| 300 Desire | Help me, Lord, for Thee I mourn:
I only live for this:
This I always will require,
Thy pow'r I pant to prove,
|
| 301 John Street | To Canaan's bounds I urge my way,
The wat'ry deep I pass,
The goodly land I see,
|
| 302 Olivers | Jehovah, Father, great I AM,
I join the heav'nly lays,
|
| 304 Blue Vale of Naucoochee | To Canaan's bounds I urge my way,
The wat'ry deep I pass,
The goodly land I see,
|
| 305 The Weary Soldier | I'm a weary wayworn soldier,
I am waiting, only waiting,
I shall lay aside my armor,
When I've fought the last food fight;
When I near the homeland portals
May I see the harbor light.
|
| 307 True Happiness | I first found in the blood of the Lamb;
Oh what joy I received,
He hath loved me, I cried,
I was carried above,
And I could not believe
That I ever should grieve,
That I ever should suffer again.
I then rode in the sky,
Freely justified, I,
Which I felt in the life-giving blood,
I was perfectly blessed,
How unspeakably favored am I,
Would I spend to His praise,
|
| 308 The Happy Time | Since I have met the saints once more,
When I with you my love renew,
O what a heav'n have I.
My sorrows past and I at last,
And I'm for Canaan bound.
|
| 309 Singing School | Shall I find your singing school?
O yes, I've found them;
And I'm glad indeed to see
O, yes, I think I see
|
| 310b Weary Sinner | Lo, I come, your Saviour, friend;
|
| 312 Penitence | False to Thee, like Peter, I
Give what I have long implored,
|
| 314 The Christian | I love my blessed Saviour,
I feel I'm in His favor,
And I am His forever,
If I but faithful prove;
And now I'm bound for Canaan,
I feel my sins forgiven,
I long to see the hour
While I'm engaged in praising
|
| 316 This Heavy Load | I love Thee, Oh my God, I hope
I hope to praise Thee perfectly,
When I draw my last breath.
This heavy load, I'll lay aside,
I'll see my Saviour face to face,
|
| 319 Weary Pilgrim | Joy and peace in Christ I find,
The fullness of His pow'r I prove,
I then more highly prize His favor.
Friends, believe me when I tell,
I all their efforts do despise:
In the world I've tribulation,
But in Christ I've consolation.
|
| 320 Longing for the Day | I am still rejoicing in victory,
I long for the day, the wonderful day,
Oh I am longing for that sweet day.
|
| 322 Among that Band | I'll be among that band,
I'll be among that band.
The farther on I go,
I want my light to glow,
|
| 325b Jesus Died For Me | Whene'er I cross the stream of death,
I'll be happy with the blest,
I love to tell of that sweet home,
And this I know I'm on my way,
I will join the happy throng,
Fare well, dear friends, I'm going home,
For I'm a pilgrim on my way,
|
| 327 The Christian's Hope | And I shall see my God and friend,
And I shall find the peaceful shore
I'll joyfully the call obey,
There shall I see my Saviour's face,
|
| 328 Mercy's Free | Great God of love, I can but wonder,
Though I've no price at all to tender,
|
| 329 Redeeming Grace | And like old David I will tell,
Though chief of sinners, I've found favor,
I late estranged from Jesus wandered,
Though like Bartimeus I was blinded,
Now I will praise Him while He spares me,
Though I'm opposed and sinners mock me,
In rapt'rous songs I'll praise my God.
By faith I view the heav'nly concert,
|
| 335 When I am Gone | When I am gone, when I am gone;
When I am gone, when I am gone;
When I am gone, I am gone.
When I am gone, when I am gone;
When I am gone, when I am gone;
When I am gone, I am gone.
When I am gone, when I am gone;
When I am gone, when I am gone;
Praise ye the Lord that I'm freed from all care,
Look up on high and believe that I'm there,
When I am gone, I am gone.
|
| 336t Sweet Harmony | A country I've found
To dwell I'm determined
Lo, onward I move,
Great spoils I shall win,
I in His dear breast,
When I am to die,
Receive me, I'll cry,
I cannot tell why;
But this I do find,
|
| 336b Probation | 'Twixt two unbounded seas I stand,
And tell me, Lord, may I there find
|
| 337 To Die No More | His track I see, and I'll pursue,
The narrow way till Him I view.
I'm going home to die no more.
I'll go, for all His paths are peace.
|
| 338t How Firm a Foundation | The flame shall not hurt thee, I only design
|
| 338b Davis | On whom in affliction I call,
For why in the valley of death should I weep,
O why should I wander an alien from Thee?
And smile at the tears I have shed.
|
| 339 Samanthra | On whom in affliction I call;
Say why in the valley of death should I weep,
|
| 340 Concord | I soon shall exchange you for views more sublime,
I soon shall behold, with increasing delight,
I soon contemplate more beautiful skies,
The summit of bliss I shall speedily gain,
I joyfully quit for the mansions of God,
In Jesus' fair image I soon shall appear,
|
| 341 The Lone Pilgrim | That I shall forevermore wear:
I came to the place where the lone pilgrim lay,
When in a lone whisper I heard something say,
How sweetly I sleep here alone.
I bade my companion farewell;
I blest my dear children, who now for me mourn –
I wandered an exile and stranger from home,
I met the contagion and sank to the tomb,
To weep not for me now I'm gone;
|
| 343 Tell the Story | I love to tell the story
I love to tell the story,
Because I know 'tis true;
I love to tell the story,
I love to tell the story;
I love to tell the story;
I tell it now to thee.
I love to tell the story,
Which seems, each time I tell it
I love to tell the story,
I love to tell the story,
I sing the new, new song,
That I have loved so long.
|
| 344 Morality | I sigh not for beauty, nor languish for wealth,
What pleasure in beauty or wealth can I find?
That peace! I'll preserve it as pure as 'twas giv'n,
And when I the burden of life shall have borne,
I'll bless the kind summons, and lie down and die.
|
| 350 The Rock | In seasons of grief to my God I'll repair,
From the ends of the earth unto Thee will I cry,
Lead me to the Rock that is higher than I.
I will pray to the Saviour who kindly did die,
Lead me to the Rock that is higher than I.
And when I have ended my pilgrimage here,
From the swellings of Jordan to Thee will I cry,
Lead me to the Rock that is higher than I.
|
| 351 Sweet Home | Though, oft from Thy presence, in sadness I roam,
I long to behold Thee in glory at home.
I sigh from this body of sin to be free,
All, all will be peace when I'm with Thee at home.
|
| 353 Bower of Prayer | From that blessed retreat where I've chosen to pray,
I've chosen to pray.
How oft have I knelt on the evergreen there,
That dwelt in my bow'r, I observed as my bell,
Sing anthems of praises as I went to prayer,
as I went to prayer.
The joys I have tasted in answer to prayer,
Dear bow'r, I must leave you and bid you adieu,
|
| 354 Summer | I would not live alway; I ask not to stay
I would not live alway; no! – welcome the tomb,
Since Jesus hath lain there, I dread not its gloom;
|
| 358 O Come, Come Away | I love their voice to hear; O come, come away!
And gladly I will meet them there; O come, come away!
'Tis there I may learn the ways of heav'nly wisdom,
I there hear the voice in heav'nly accents speaking,
And I will them receive:” O come, come away!
With joy I accept the gracious invitation;
My deathless spirit, when I die,
|
| 359 Wondrous Love | When I was sinking down, sinking down,
When I was sinking down,
To God, and to the Lamb, I will sing;
Jehovah great I AM,
While millions join the theme, I will sing.
And when from death I'm free I'll sing on;
And when from death I'm free,
I'll sing, and joyful be,
And through eternity I'll sing on.
|
| 361 Solemn Thought | The God that built the sky, great I AM,
And, O my friends, don't you, I entreat,
Your guilty souls undo, I entreat.
|
| 362 Shining Light | I hate the sins that made Thee mourn,
|
| 363 The Christian Warfare | I find myself placed in a state of probation,
And I am resolved to regard all His precepts,
I know I must go through great tribulation,
And I shall be able forever to stand.
I'm called to contend with the powers of darkness,
And many sore conflicts I have to pass through.
In Thy name and Thy strength I'll soon put to flight.
|
| 364 Redemption (Second) | Come, listen a while, and to you I will tell
How I was first called to seek for salvation,
I was not yet sixteen when Jesus first call'd me,
To think of my soul, and the state I was in;
I found myself standing a distance from Jesus,
The devil perceived that I was convinced,
He strove to persuade me that I was too young.
That I would get weary before my ascension,
And wish that I had not so early begun.
That I was forsaken and quite reprobated,
And now I've found favor in Jesus my Saviour
And all His Commandments I'm bound to obey;
I trust He will keep me from all Satan's power,
|
| 365 The Indian's Petition | Where I often have sported in boyhood's bright day,
I have sported so oft in the noon of my pride,
To the bosom I love, let me go, let me go,
To the bosom I love, oh! there let me go.
|
| 366 Millennium (First) | They hope to obstruct the light from shining, I think.
|
| 367 David's Lamentation | Would to God I had died
|
| 368t Brush Creek | No: when I blush, be this my shame,
That I no more revere His Name.
|
| 369 Easter Anthem | Then I rose!
|
| 372 I Won't Turn Back | I won't turn back,
Lord, I won't turn back
No, I won't turn back any more;
But I won't turn back any more.
The Lord has been so great as I travel
Let come what may, I'll serve my dear Saviour,
I will go where ages shall roll.
|
| 374 Heavenly Vision | I beheld and lo, a great multitude, which no man could number,
And I heard a mighty angel flying through the midst of heav'n, crying with a loud voice:
|
| 382 How Sweet the Sound | I once was lost but now am found,
was blind, but now I see.
the hour I first believed.
I have already come;
|
| 384 Lord I'm Depending on You | I hope to be there through the ages fair to sing with that band.
Lord, I seek Thy face, save me by Thy grace, take me to that place,
|
| 385 Sweet Heaven | By faith I trust in His Grace;
How I'd like to sit down at the Master's feet;
|
| 386 Spartanburg | Transported with the view, I'm lost
With heedless steps I ran,
|
| 392 Imandra | I dreamt I was out, to the east cast mine eye,
I thought the last judgement was dawning to light.
The next I heard Jesus say “Come you up here;”
|
| 394 Stubborn Heart | That one in all His grace I need;
|
| 395 King of Peace | Lord, I cannot let Thee go,
Dost Thou ask me who I am?
That poor rebel, Lord was I.
|
| 397t Hants | I consecrate to Thee.
Thy ransom'd servant, I
|
| 399b Thatcher | To God in whom I trust,
I lift my heart and voice;
|
| 404t Rosalie | I shall be well supplied;
Since He is mine and I am His,
What can I want beside?
If e'er I go astray,
|
| 404b Arion | I bid farewell to ev'ry fear,
|
| 405t Honeywel | To Thee my all I owe,
On Thee alone I live;
Shall I withhold Thy due,
|
| 409b Newingham | Oh that I could repent,
|
| 411 The Trumpeters | A soldier I will be;
I will enlist, gird on my arms,
|
| 412t Howard | Will I for help repair.
To Thee devoutly I'll look up,
|
| 413t Warwick | To Thee will I direct my pray'r,
|
| 413b Barby | I set my worthless name;
I seal th'engagement to my Lord,
|
| 414 Friend | When I begin Thy praise,
Thy goodness I adore;
That I may love Thee more.
|
| 419b Fountain | O may I there, though vile as he,
|
| 420 Cambridge | I hear, but seem to hear in vain,
To find I cannot feel.
I sometimes think myself inclined
To love Thee, if I could;
I fain would strive for more;
But, when I cry, “My strength renew,”
Thy saints are comforted, I know,
I sometimes go where others go,
|
| 421t Seymour | And here may I, though vile as he,
|
| 422t Boswell | I thought upon Thy pow'r;
I kept Thy lovely face in sight,
While I lay resting on my bed,
My God, my life, my hope, I said,
I strive to mount Thy holy hill;
I walk the heav'nly road,
While I commune with God.
|
| 423b Benediction | To Thee I breathe my sighs;
Here would I rest till light returns,
|
| 424 Nightingale | Yes, I will bless Thee, O my God,
|
| 425b Ryland | Where is the blessedness I knew
when first I saw the Lord?
What peaceful hours I then enjoyed!
But now I find an aching void
|
| 429 Charming Name | Jesus, I love Thy charming name,
Fain would I sound it out so loud,
I'll speak the honors of Thy name
|
| 432b Fish Pond | Yet with my God I leave my cause,
Not all the pains that e'er I bore,
|
| 433 New Haven | I seek my place in heav'n:
Yet O! by faith I see,
|
| 436b It Is I | “'Tis I, be not afraid!”
“'Tis I, be not afraid!”
“'Tis I, be not afraid!”
|
| 437 The Dying Penitent | I see Thee bathed in sweat and tears,
|
| 438 The Mouldering Vine (Second) | Whilst I sit, my fate deploring,
Since I know no earthly joy?
Long I've lost all youthful pleasure.
|
| 440t Beulah | Lord, I approach Thy mercy seat,
With this I venture nigh;
And such, O Lord, am I.
I come to Thee for rest.
|
| 442 Lanesboro | I haste to seek Thy face;
I've seen Thy glory and Thy pow'r
|
| 447 Mount Pisgah | Might I but climb to Pisgah's top,
I would forget my breath,
|
| 448t Suffield | I would survey life's narrow space,
And learn how frail I am.
What can I wish, or wait for then,
|
| 450t Burford | Thy pleasure I fulfil.”
|
| 451b Devotion (Second) | Sweet was the time when first I felt
And when I read His holy word,
I called each promise mine.
|
| 452t Head | And there I write His praise.
|
| 452b Hebron | And I, perhaps, am near my home;
I lay my body down to sleep,
|
| 455t New Lebanon | Sent by my Lord, on you I call;
|
| 458 Rolland | My God, my King, why should I be
|
| 460b Gratitude | I yield myself to Thy command;
|
| 465t Breaker | Though I have done thee such despite;
Though I have steeled my stubborn heart,
Though I have most unfaithful been,
|
| 465b Welton | Thou great Instructor, lest I stray,
On earth Thy glories I'll declare,
|
| 471b Hesperia | Though I have done Thee such despite;
Though I have most unfaithful been
I shall not see Thy people's rest.
|
| 472t Sunset | While on His breast I lean my head,
|
| 476b Shepherd (Second) | Fain would I feed among Thy sheep,
The footsteps of Thy flock I see;
|
| 478t Brentford | How much I owe, how much I love.
|
| 480 Salineville | Oh might I once mount up and see
|
| 491 Nashville | I love the volume of Thy word;
|
| 492t Ramesis | But shall I therefore let Him go,
I never will give up my shield.
|
| 492b Supplication | I cannot live without Thy light,
And guard me that I fall no more.
|
| 493t Kedron | Father, if I may call Thee so,
I tremble, lest the wrath divine,
|
| 497b Horton | I will guide you to your home;
|
| 498 Hendon | When I faint with summer's heat,
Safe the dreary vale I tread,
|
| 505 Waterford | I feel the mortal smart!

And as now I eat and drink,
|
| 509t Break of Day | Upwards now I bend my way,
|
| 516 Oliphant | I am weak, but Thou art mighty:
Feed me till I want no more.
When I tread the verge of Jordan,
I will ever give to Thee.
|
| 518 Ariel | Oh, could I speak the matchless worth,
Oh, could I sound the glories forth,
I'd soar, and touch the heav'nly strings,
I'd sing the precious blood He spilt,
I'd sing His glorious righteousness,
I'd sing the characters He bears,
I would to everlasting days
And I shall see His face:
A blest eternity I'll spend,
|
| 525 Goodly Land | I on His oath depend,
I shall, on eagle's wings upborne,
I shall behold His face,
I shall His pow'r adore.
To Canaan's bounds I urge my way,
The wat'ry deep I pass,
The goodly land I see,
|
| 528 Throne of Glory | I joy to call Thee mine.
Before Thy cross I lie.
What language can I borrow
Oh, can I leave Thee ever?
|
| 532 Boerne | When Jesus no longer I see:
But when I am happy in Him,
I should, were He always thus nigh,
No mortal so happy as I,
|
| 535 Trial's Hour | When I can trust my all with God,
|
| 537 Crucifixion | Crying, “Father, I have died,
To redeem them, I pray Thee, forgive!”
|
| 540 Funeral Anthem | I heard a great voice from heav'n

When I walk through the shades of death,
There would I find a settled rest,

The Bridegroom of my soul I seek, Oh, when will He appear?

I feel Thy Spirit and Thy love which say awake arise.
I want to sing eternal praise to Christ my God and Friend.
I'll pitch my tent no more to roam from Heaven's Higher Ground.
