- My days are swiftly passing by,
My time ere long will close,
But I’ve a home beyond the sky
Where I shall soon repose.- Refrain:
Yes, passing gently, gently on
To realms of holy rest,
My soul is filled with rapt’rous song,
I’ll sing among the blest.
- Then help me, Lord, to ever be
A faithful child of Thine,
Washed in Thy blood that flowed so free,
And filled with love divine. - I press my hand, dear Lord, in Thine,
And walk by faith with Thee,
Oh, let Thy glory in me shine,
That men Thy life may see. - I walk...

- Brightest and best of the sons of the morning,
Dawn on our darkness and lend us Thine aid;
Star of the East, the horizon adorning,
Guide where our infant Redeemer is laid. - Cold on His cradle the dewdrops are shining;
Low lies His head with the beasts of the stall;
Angels adore Him in slumber reclining,
Maker and Monarch and Savior of all! - Say, shall we yield Him, in costly devotion,
Odors of Edom and off’rings divine?
Gems of the mountain and pearls of the ocean,
Myrrh from the forest, or gold from th...

- Oh, for a thousand tongues to sing
My great Redeemer’s praise,
The glories of my God and king,
The triumphs of His grace! - My gracious Master and my God,
Assist me to proclaim,
To spread through all the earth abroad,
The honors of Thy name. - Jesus! the name that charms our fears,
That bids our sorrows cease—
’Tis music in the sinner’s ears,
’Tis life, and health, and peace. - He breaks the pow’r of canceled sin,
He sets the pris’ner free;
His blood can make the foulest clean,
His blood availed for...

- O Lord, be with me through this day;
Direct my thoughts aright, I pray,
That I, this day, my place fulfill,
According to Thy holy will. - Thy Word, O Lord, is bread indeed,
And as upon Thy Word I feed,
It shall to me new strength impart,
As truth abounds within my heart. - I need Thy armor, Lord, to go
Against a fierce and ruthless foe;
Girt—breastplate, helmet, shoe, and shield—
I shall prevail as sword I wield. - My lips shall sweetly sound Thy praise,
And thankfulness shall fill my days;
Within Thy joy my...

- The Babe in the manger
Is Jesus my King,
Now reigning in heaven—
I joyfully sing.
He lived as a human
Like you and like me;
He suffered our manners,
And died on a tree. - But why did He do it?
’Twas love in His heart;
He saw my condition,
So He took my part.
He died for the sinner—
For you and for me;
He gave His life gladly
To set captives free. - A wonderful Savior
To rescue my soul—
In glad adoration
I give Him control.
My blessed Redeemer,
I love You today;
I’ll praise You forever
In heaven someday.
