- Savior, Thy dying love
Thou gavest me,
Nor should I aught withhold,
Dear Lord, from Thee;
In love my soul would bow,
My heart fulfill its vow,
Some off’ring bring Thee now,
Something for Thee. - O’er the blest mercy seat,
Pleading for me,
My feeble faith looks up,
Jesus, to Thee:
Help me the cross to bear,
Thy wondrous love declare,
Some song to raise, or prayer,
Something for Thee. - Give me a faithful heart—
Likeness to Thee,
That each departing day
Henceforth may see
Some work of love begun,
Some deed of kin...

- Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee;
Let the water and the blood,
From Thy wounded side which flowed,
Be of sin the double cure,
Save from wrath and make me pure. - Not the labor of my hands
Can fulfill Thy law’s demands;
Could my zeal no respite know,
Could my tears forever flow,
All for sin could not atone;
Thou must save, and Thou alone. - Nothing in my hand I bring,
Simply to Thy cross I cling;
Naked, come to Thee for dress;
Helpless, look to Thee for grace;
Foul, I to the fountain fly;
W...

Safe in the arms of Jesus,
Safe on His gentle
breast;
There by His love o’ershaded,
Sweetly my soul shall rest.
Hark!
’tis the voice of angels
Borne in a song to me,
Over the fields of
glory,
Over the jasper sea.
- Refrain:
Safe in the arms of
Jesus,
Safe on His gentle breast;
There by His love o’ershaded,
Sweetly
my soul shall rest.
Safe in the arms of Jesus,
Safe from corroding care,
Safe from the
world’s temptations;
Sin cannot harm me there.
Free from the blight of
sorrow,
Free from my dou... Continue reading...

- I entered once a home of care,
For age and penury were there,
Yet peace and joy withal;
I asked the lonely mother whence
Her helpless widowhood’s defense;
She told me, “Christ is all.”- Refrain:
Christ is all, all in all,
Yes, Christ is all in all;
Christ is all, all in all,
Yes, Christ is all in all.
- I stood beside a dying bed,
Where lay a child with aching head,
Waiting for Jesus’ call;
I marked his smile, ’twas sweet as May;
And as his spirit passed away,
He whispered, “Christ is all.” - I saw a...
