THEY THAT WAIT UPON THE LORD

Lyrics and Music: James McGranahan

Ho, reapers in

the whitened harvest!

Oft feeble, faint and few;

Come, wait upon

the blessed Master,

Our strength He will renew.

Refrain:

For “they that wait upon the Lord

shall renew their strength,

they shall mount up with wings,

they shall mount up with wings

as eagles,

They shall run and not be weary;

they shall walk and not faint;

They shall run and not be weary;

they shall walk and not faint;

They shall run and not be weary,

shall walk and not faint.��

Too oft aweary and discouraged,

We pour a sad complaint;

Believing in a living Saviour,

Why should we ever faint?

Rejoice! For He is with us alway,

Lo, even to the end!

Look up!

Take courage and go forward��

All needed grace He’ll send!

PUT PEACE INTO EACH OTHER'S HANDS

PUT PEACE INTO EACH OTHER'S HANDS

Words: Fred Kaan

Put peace into each other's hands

and like a treasure hold it;

protect it like a candle flame,

with tenderness enfold it.

Put peace into each other's hands

with loving expectation;

be gentle in your words and ways,

in touch with God's creation.

Put peace into each other's hands,

like bread we break for sharing;

look people warmly in the eye:

our life is meant for caring.

As at communion, shape your hands

into a waiting cradle;

the gift of Christ receive, revere,

united round the table.

Put Christ into each other's hands,

he is love's deepest measure;

in love make peace, give peace a chance

and share it like a treasure.

CLINGING TO THEE

CLINGING TO THEE

O Holy Savior! Friend unseen,

Since on thine arm thou bid'st me lean,

Help me, throughout life's changing scene,

By faith to cling to thee!

What though the world deceitful prove,

And earthly friends and joys remove?

With patient, uncomplaining love

Still I would cling to thee.

Though faith and hope awhile be tried,

I ask not, need not aught beside:

How safe, how calm, how satisfied,

The souls that cling to thee.

THERE’S NOT A FRIEND LIKE THE LOWLY JESUS

THERE’S NOT A FRIEND LIKE THE LOWLY JESUS

Lyrics:Johnson Oatman Jr.

Music:George Crawford Hugg

There’s not a Friend like the lowly Jesus:

No, not one! no, not one!

None else could heal all our souls�� diseases:

No, not one! no, not one!

Refrain:

Jesus knows all about our struggles;

He will guide ’til the day is done:

There’s not a Friend like the lowly Jesus:

No, not one! no, not one!

No friend like Him is so high and holy,

No, not one! no, not one!

And yet no friend is so meek and lowly,

No, not one! no, not one!

There’s not an hour that He is not near us,

No, not one! no, not one!

No night so dark, but His love can cheer us,

No, not one! no, not one!

Did ever saint find this Friend forsake him?

No, not one! no, not one!

Or sinner find that He would not take him?

No, not one! no, not one!

Was e’er a gift like the Savior given?

No, not one! no, not one!

Will He refuse us the bliss of heaven?

No, not one! no, not one!

PUT THOU THY TRUST IN GOD

06 April 2025

PUT THOU THY TRUST IN GOD

Put thou thy trust in God,

In duty’s path go on;

Walk in His strength with faith and hope

So shall thy work be done.

Give to the winds thy fears,

Hope, and be undismayed;

God hears thy sighs and counts thy tears,

God shall lift up thy head.

Through waves, and clouds, and storms

He gently clears thy way;

Wait thou His time; so shall this night

Soon end in joyous day.

Leave to His sovereign sway

To choose and to command;

So shalt thou, wondering, own His way

How wise, how strong His hand.

Thou seest our weakness, Lord;

Our hearts are known to Thee;

O lift Thou up the sinking hand,

Confirm the feeble knee.

Let us, in life, in death,

Thy steadfast truth declare,

And publish, with our latest breath,

Thy love and guardian care.

O FOR A WORLD

spiritualdigest@... (BAYO AFOLARANMI) — Fri, 04 Apr 2025 21:31:01 -0700

05 April 2025

O FOR A WORLD

O for a world where everyone

respects each other's ways,

where love is lived and all is done

with justice and with praise.

O for a world where goods are shared

and misery relieved,

where truth is spoken, children spared,

equality achieved.

We welcome one world family

and struggle with each choice

that opens us to unity

and gives our vision voice.

The poor are rich, the weak are strong,

the foolish ones are wise.

Tell all who mourn, outcasts belong,

who perishes will rise.

O for a world preparing for

God's glorious reign of peace,

where time and tears will be no more,

and all but love will cease.

TO BE AT PEACE WITH EVERY MAN

spiritualdigest@... (BAYO AFOLARANMI) — Thu, 03 Apr 2025 21:26:16 -0700

04 April 2025

TO BE AT PEACE WITH EVERY MAN

To be at peace with ev'ry man

Each faithful soul desires,

For which they do the best they can,

Like as Saint Paul requir's.

Their aim is not revenge to seek,

Nor yet in malice live:

But like their Saviour humble meek

And freely will forgive.

To wrath and spite they give no place

But keep their Lord in view;

They pray for his renewing grace

To bear his Image too.

Their charity to all extends,

They feel for other's grief,

They pitty foes as well as friends,

And pray for their relief.

They help in ev'ry time of need;

And with a liberal hand;

The naked cloath, the hungry feed,

As Jesus gave command.

O may the Lord impress my mind

With love and christian faith,

To be affectionate and kind

As the Apostle saith.

JESUS CALLS US

03 April 2025

JESUS CALLS US

Words: Cecil Frances Alexander

Music: William H. Jude

Jesus calls us o'er the tumult

of our life's wild, restless sea;

day by day his sweet voice soundeth,

saying, "Christian, follow me!"

As of old the apostles heard it

by the Galilean lake,

turned from home and toil and kindred,

leaving all for Jesus' sake.

Jesus calls us from the worship

of the vain world's golden store,

from each idol that would keep us,

saying, "Christian, love me more!"

In our joys and in our sorrows,

days of toil and hours of ease,

still he calls, in cares and pleasures,

"Christian, love me more than these!"

Jesus calls us! By thy mercies,

Savior, may we hear thy call,

give our hearts to thine obedience,

serve and love thee best of all.

GIVE ME A GENTLE HEART

02 April 2025

GIVE ME A GENTLE HEART

Give me a gentle heart

Filled with meekness,

Dilligent heart like Thine

Jesus, my Lord

Humbleness and patience

A heart of compassion

In every small detail

To be like Him

Give me a contentment

In all conditions

Be it e'en humbler than

His lowly birth

Give me Thou Thy comfort

Give me also Thy help;

In every small detail

To be like Him

Give me enthusiasm

In things of Thine

Earnestness and more love

For things of heav'n

Give me more holiness

Give me hatred for sin

In every small detail

To be like Him

Give me a heart of faith

A hope in Thee

Give joy of salvation

In Jesus Christ

Give me a living soul

Give a crown of glory

And when I shall awake

To be like Him

LORD, THY WORD ABIDETH

spiritualdigest@... (BAYO AFOLARANMI) — Mon, 31 Mar 2025 21:04:55 -0700

01 April 2025

LORD, THY WORD ABIDETH

Lord, thy word abideth,

and our footsteps guideth;

who its truth believeth

light and joy receiveth.

When our foes are near us,

then thy word doth cheer us,

word of consolation,

message of salvation.

When the storms are o'er us,

and dark clouds before us,

then its light directeth,

and our way protecteth.

Who can tell the pleasure,

who recount the treasure,

by thy word imparted

to the simple hearted:

word of mercy, giving

help unto the living;

word of life, supplying

comfort to the dying!

Oh that we, discerning

its most holy learning,

Lord, my love and fear thee,

evermore be near thee.

BY GRACE I’LL STAND

31 March 2025

BY GRACE I’LL STAND

Words: J. H. A. (edited by Robert F. Beveridge)

Music: A. Walwyn Evans

Once I was far from Jesus,

A stranger to His grace,

But o’er the mountains bleak and cold

He sought my steps to trace;

One day, praise God, He found me,

And brought me to His fold,

And now I feel His wondrous grace

Can ne’er be fully told.

Refrain:

Yes, by grace alone,

God helping me, I’ll stand.

True and faithful till

I reach the glory land,

Just trusting Him each moment

For His help divine,

Confessing Jesus,

My blessèd Savior.

He’s filled my life with blessing,

And changed my heart’s desire;

To witness for Him day by day

My soul is all on fire;

Full well I know that dangers

Lie thickly round my way,

But keeping sight of Jesus Christ

I cannot go astray.

So more and more of Jesus

I’m learning every day;

With such a precious friend and guide

I’ll follow all the way;

I can reflect His image,

And everyone around

My testimony clear shall know:

The Savior I have found.

I AM THINE, O LORD

Lyrics: Fanny Jane Crosby

Music: William Howard Doane

I am Thine, O Lord, I have heard Thy voice,

And it told Thy love to me;

But I long to rise in the arms of faith,

And be closer drawn to Thee.

Draw me nearer, nearer, blessed Lord,

To the cross where Thou hast died;

Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer, blessed Lord,

To Thy precious, bleeding side.

Consecrate me now to Thy service, Lord,

By the pow’r of grace divine;

Let my soul look up with a steadfast hope,

And my will be lost in Thine.

O the pure delight of a single hour

That before Thy throne I spend,

When I kneel in prayer, and with Thee, my God,

I commune as friend with friend!

There are depths of love that I yet may know

Ere Thee face to face I see;

There are heights of joy that I yet may reach

Ere I rest in peace with Thee.

I HAVE WALKED WITH SIN, TOO LONG

I Have Walked With Sin, Too Long

Seperate Us, Saviour, Lord

Friend Of Destruction Is He

Save Me Jesus Or I Die

There’s No Benefit I Find

Within My Heart And Body

All Of Them Are Quite Corrupt

Save Me Jesus Or I Die

I Find Life Within Thy Word

Thy Communion Is So Sweet

Sin Doth Hold Me Fast, O Lord

Save Me Jesus, Do Save Me

Will Thou Silently Watch Me

Till I Die ‘Cause Of Weakness

Will Thou Leave Me Unto Sin

God Forbid, Jesus Save Me

Thou Who Knows Me Inside Out

My Efforts Are Known To Thee

You Know All My Strivings Lord

And My Secret Tears You See

Sin Has Put Me In Fetters

Break The Fetters And The Chains

I Will Ever Worship Thee

Jesus My Saviour And Lord

GOD IS WORKING HIS PURPOSE OUT

28 March 2025

GOD IS WORKING HIS PURPOSE OUT

Words: Arthur C. Ainger

Music: Martin Shaw,

God is working his purpose out as year succeeds to year.

God is working his purpose out, and the time is drawing near.

Nearer and nearer draws the time,

when the earth shall be filled with the glory of God

as the waters cover the sea.

From utmost east to utmost west, where human feet have trod,

by the mouth of many messengers goes forth the voice of God,

"Give ear to me, ye continents, ye isles, give ear to me,

that the earth may be filled with the glory of God

as the waters cover the sea.

March we forth in the strength of God,

With the banner of Christ unfurled,

that the light of the glorious gospel of truth may shine throughout the

world. Fight we the fight with sorrow and sin to set the captives free,

that the earth shall be filled with the glory of God

as the waters cover the sea.

All we can do is nothing worth unless God blesses the deed.

Vainly we hope for the harvest-tide till God gives life to the seed.

Yet nearer and nearer draws the time, the time that shall surely be,

when the earth shall be filled with the glory of God

as the waters cover the sea.

LIKE AS A MOTHER COMFORTETH

Words: William M. Runyan

Music: John B. Dykes

Like as a mother comforteth

O words of gentle worth!

So will I comfort you, declares

The Lord of all the earth.

He bends in faithful watchfulness;

He slumbers not nor sleeps;

Above His trusting child the Lord

A constant vigil keeps.

He patient is, as mothers are

Who love their children well;

Our faults and failings He forgives;

His mercies—who can tell!

Like as a mother, grant, O God,

This likeness e’er may be

A holy symbol to declare

The love that dwells in Thee.

MAKE ME AN INSTRUMENT OF YOUR PEACE

Words: St. Francis of Assisi

Make me an instrument of your peace:

Where there is hatred, let me bring love.

Where there is injury, Your pardon, Lord,

And where there’s doubt, true faith in You.

Make me an instrument of Your peace:

Where there’s discouragement, let me bring hope.

Where there is darkness, let me bring your light,

And where there’s sadness, let me bring joy.

Make me an instrument of your peace:

It is in pardoning that we are pardoned,

It is in giving that we do receive,

And it’s in dying, that we’re born to life.

HOLY SPIRIT, FAITHFUL GUIDE

Words and Music: Marcus M. Wells

Holy Spirit, faithful guide,

Ever near the Christian’s side;

Gently lead us by the hand,

Pilgrims in a desert land.

Weary souls fore’er rejoice,

While they hear that sweetest voice,

Whispering softly, Wanderer, come,

Follow Me, I’ll guide thee home.

Ever present, truest friend,

Ever near Thine aid to lend,

Leave us not to doubt and fear,

Groping on in darkness drear.

When the storms are raging sore,

Hearts grow faint and hopes give o’er.

Whispering softly, Wanderer, come,

Follow Me, I’ll guide thee home.

When our days of toiling cease,

Waiting still for sweet release,

Nothing left but Heaven and prayer,

Wondering if our names are there;

Wading deep the dismal flood,

Pleading naught but Jesus�� blood,

Whispering softly, Wanderer, come,

Follow Me, I’ll guide thee home.

GIVE TO ME, LORD, A THANKFUL HEART

Lyrics: T. Caryl Micklem

Music: Frederick Charles Maker

Give to me, Lord, a thankful heart

And a discerning mind;

Give, as I play the Christian's part,

The strength to finish what I start

And act on what I find.

When, in the rush of days, my will

Is habit bound and slow,

Help me to keep in vision, still,

What love and power and peace can fill

A life that trusts in you.

By your divine and urgent claim,

And by your human face,

Kindle our sinking hearts to flame,

And as you teach the world your name

Let it become your place.

Jesus, with all your church I long

To see your kingdom come:

Show me your way of righting wrong

And turning sorrow into song

Until you bring me home.

WHY SHOULD I WORRY, DOUBT AND FEAR

WHY SHOULD I WORRY, DOUBT AND FEAR

Lyrics: Augustus Montague Toplady

Music: S. Chandler

Why should I worry, doubt and fear?

Has God not caused His Son to bear

My sins upon the tree?

The debt that Christ for me has paid,

Would God another mind have made

To claim again from me?

Redemption full the Lord has made,

And all my debts has fully paid,

From law to set me free.

I fear not for the wrath of God,

For I’ve been sprinkled with His blood,

It wholly covers me.

For me forgiveness He has gained,

And full acquittal was obtained,

All debts of sin are paid;

God would not have His claim on two,

First on His Son, my Surety true,

And then upon me laid.

So now I have full peace and rest,

My Savior Christ hath done the best

And set me wholly free;

By His all-efficacious blood

I ne’er could be condemned by God,

For He has died for me!

THE PATHWAY OF THE JUST

Words and Music: Barney E. Warren

There are beams of brilliant sunlight along the holy way,

Where the weary pilgrims travel in the dust;

They are happy as they’re nearing that land of blissful day,

They are walking in the pathway of the just.

Refrain:

They are walking, they are walking,

They are walking in the pathway of the just;

They are walking, they are walking,

They are walking in the pathway of the just.

They are walking in the footsteps of Jesus all the time,

For the needed strength and grace in Him they trust;

They are on the way to glory where joys are more sublime,

They are walking in the pathway of the just.

They are joyful in temptation because the Lord is near,

Let offences come, for Jesus said they must;

So with sword and shield they conquer without a doubt or fear,

They are walking in the pathway of the just.

By the pastures ever green, by refreshing waters free,

Christ will lead them if in Him they fully trust;

To the Father He will say, “These are mine Thou gavest me,

“I have kept them in the pathway of the just.”��
