The Master Has Called Us by Sarah Doudney

Posted by Kiki Riki on Saturday, July 7, 2012
  1. The Master has come, and He calls us to follow
    The track of the footprints He leaves on our way;
    Far over the mountain and through the deep hollow,
    The path leads us on to the mansions of day:
    The Master has called us, the children who fear Him,
    Who march ’neath Christ’s banner, His own little band;
    We love Him and seek Him, we long to be near Him,
    And rest in the light of His beautiful land.
  2. The Master has called us; the road may be dreary,
    And dangers and sorrows are strewn on the track;
    But Godâ...

Jesus, The Very Thought of Thee by Bernard of Clairvaux

Posted by Kiki Riki on Saturday, June 30, 2012
  1. Jesus, the very thought of Thee
    With sweetness fills the breast;
    But sweeter far Thy face to see,
    And in Thy presence rest.
  2. Nor voice can sing, nor heart can frame,
    Nor can the mem’ry find
    A sweeter sound than Thy blest name,
    O Savior of mankind!
  3. O hope of every contrite heart,
    O joy of all the meek,
    To those who fall, how kind Thou art!
    How good to those who seek!
  4. All those who find Thee find a bliss
    Nor tongue nor pen can show;
    The love of Jesus, what it is,
    None but His loved ones know.
  5. Jesus, our only ...

If, On a Quiet Sea by Augustus M. Toplady

Posted by Kiki Riki on Saturday, June 23, 2012
  1. If, on a quiet sea,
    Toward Heav’n we calmly sail,
    With grateful hearts, O God, to Thee,
    We’ll own the fav’ring gale;
    With grateful hearts, O God, to Thee,
    We’ll own the fav’ring gale.
  2. But should the surges rise,
    And rest delay to come,
    Blest be the tempest, kind the storm,
    Which drives us nearer home;
    Blest be the tempest, kind the storm,
    Which drives us nearer home.
  3. Soon shall our doubts and fears
    All yield to Thy control;
    Thy tender mercies shall illume
    The midnight of the soul;
    Thy tender mercie...

My Faith Has Found A Resting Place by Eliza E. Hewitt

Posted by Kiki Riki on Saturday, June 9, 2012
  1. My faith has found a resting place,
    Not in device or creed;
    I trust the ever-living One,
    His wounds for me shall plead.
    • Refrain:
      I need no other argument,
      I need no other plea,
      It is enough that Jesus died,
      And that He died for me.
  2. Enough for me that Jesus saves,
    This ends my fear and doubt;
    A sinful soul I came to Him,
    He’ll never cast me out.
  3. My heart is leaning on the Word,
    The living Word of God,
    Salvation by my Savior’s name,
    Salvation through His blood.
  4. My great physician heals the sick,
    The lost He ...

Draw Thou My Soul, O Christ by Lucy Larcom

Posted by Kiki Riki on Saturday, June 2, 2012
  1. Draw Thou my soul, O Christ, closer to Thine;
    Breathe into every wish Thy will divine;
    Raised my low self above, won by Thy deathless love,
    Ever, O Christ, through mine let Thy life shine.
  2. Lead forth my soul, O Christ, one with Thine own,
    Joyful to follow Thee through paths unknown;
    In Thee my strength renew; give me Thy work to do;
    Through me Thy truth be shown, Thy love made known.
  3. Not for myself alone may my prayer be;
    Lift Thou Thy world, O Christ, closer to Thee;
    Cleanse it from guilt and wrong; t...
