Amazing Grace!!! Joyful sounds 18
This is my story!
Old rugged cross!
In the hollow of his hands!

my 'bestest' hymn ever.....

On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross,
the emblem of suffering and shame;
and I love that old cross where the dearest and best
for a world of lost sinners was slain.
Refrain:
So I'll cherish the old rugged cross,
till my trophies at last I lay down;
I will cling to the old rugged cross,
and exchange it some day for a crown.
2. O that old rugged cross, so despised by the world,
has a wondrous attraction for me;
for the dear Lamb of God left his glory above
to bear it to dark Calvary.
(Refrain)
3. In that old rugged cross, stained with blood so divine,
a wondrous beauty I see,
for 'twas on that old cross Jesus suffered and died,
to pardon and sanctify me.
(Refrain)
4. To that old rugged cross I will ever be true,
its shame and reproach gladly bear;
then he'll call me some day to my home far away,
where his glory forever I'll share.
(Refrain)

STANDING ON THE PROMISES OF GOD

On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross,
The emblem of suff’ring and shame;
And I love that old cross where the dearest and best
For a world of lost sinners was slain.

Refrain:
So I’ll cherish the old rugged cross,
Till my trophies at last I lay down;
I will cling to the old rugged cross,
And exchange it some day for a crown.

Oh, that old rugged cross, so despised by the world,
Has a wondrous attraction for me;
For the dear Lamb of God left His glory above
To bear it to dark Calvary.

In that old rugged cross, stained with blood so divine,
A wondrous beauty I see,
For ’twas on that old cross Jesus suffered and died,
To pardon and sanctify me.

To the old rugged cross I will ever be true;
Its shame and reproach gladly bear;
Then He’ll call me some day to my home far away,
Where His glory forever I’ll share.

It brings tears to my eyes.....everytym....

When peace, like a river, attendeth my
way,
When sorrows like sea billows roll;
Whatever my lot, Thou hast taught me
to say,
It is well, it is well with my soul.
Refrain:
It is well with my soul,
It is well, it is well with my soul.
Though Satan should buffet, though
trials should come,
Let this blest assurance control,
That Christ hath regarded my helpless
estate,
And hath shed His own blood for my
soul.
My sin—oh, the bliss of this glorious
thought!—
My sin, not in part but the whole,
Is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no
more,
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my
soul!
For me, be it Christ, be it Christ hence
to live:
If Jordan above me shall roll,
No pang shall be mine, for in death as
in life
Thou wilt whisper Thy peace to my soul.
But, Lord, ’tis for Thee, for Thy coming
we wait,
The sky, not the grave, is our goal;
Oh, trump of the angel! Oh, voice of the
Lord!
Blessed hope, blessed rest of my soul!
And Lord, haste the day when the faith
shall be sight,
The clouds be rolled back as a scroll;
The trump shall resound, and the Lord
shall descend,
Even so, it is well with my soul.

Old Rugged Cross nd What a friend we have in Jesus.

In Christ Alone

Lyrics:

In Christ alone my hope is found,
He is my light, my strength, my song;
this Cornerstone, this solid Ground,
firm through the fiercest drought and storm.
What heights of love, what depths of peace,
when fears are stilled, when strivings cease!
My Comforter, my All in All,
here in the love of Christ I stand.


In Christ alone! who took on flesh
Fulness of God in helpless babe!
This gift of love and righteousness
Scorned by the ones he came to save:
Till on that cross as Jesus died,
The wrath of God was satisfied -
For every sin on Him was laid;
Here in the death of Christ I live.


There in the ground His body lay
Light of the world by darkness slain:
Then bursting forth in glorious Day
Up from the grave he rose again!
And as He stands in victory
Sin's curse has lost its grip on me,
For I am His and He is mine -
Bought with the precious blood of Christ.


No guilt in life, no fear in death,
This is the power of Christ in me;
From life's first cry to final breath.
Jesus commands my destiny.
No power of hell, no scheme of man,
Can ever pluck me from His hand;
Till He returns or calls me home,
Here in the power of Christ I stand

Wonderful hymn

Abide With Me.

Amusaopeyemi: When we walk in the lord
In the light of his love
What a glory he sheds on our way
While we do his good will, he abides with us still
And to all who will trust and obey


Trust and Obey
For there is no other way
To be happy in jesus
But to trust and Obey.

Wow!!!, this is also ma favorites hymn. I sang it with passion during ma high school days...Trust and Obey

psucc: Fading away like the dates of the morning
Losing their light to the glorious sun
Thus would we pass from and its toiling
Only remembered by what we have done

CHORUS
Only remembered, only remembered
Only remembered by what we have done
Thus we will pass from this earth and its toiling
Only remembered by what we done

The most Excellency is Jesus ... Shout Halleluyah, Amen!!
listen here

O Jesus, I have promised to serve Thee to the end;
Be Thou forever near me, my Master and my Friend;
I shall not fear the battle if Thou art by my side,
Nor wander from the pathway if Thou wilt be my Guide.
Oh, let me hear Thee speaking in accents clear and still,
I dare not trust my judgment: Thy way shall be my will;
Oh, speak to reassure me, to hasten or control;
Oh, speak, and help me listen, Thou Guardian of my soul.
O Jesus, Thou hast promised to all who follow Thee
That where Thou art in glory there shall Thy servant be;
And Jesus, I have promised to serve Thee to the end—
Oh, give me grace to follow, my Master and my Friend.
Oh, let me see Thy footprints, and in them plant mine own;
My hope to follow duly is in Thy strength alone;
Oh, guide me, call me, draw me, uphold me to the end;
And then in Heav’n receive me, my Savior and my Friend.
Source:

kilokeys: Abide with me; fast falls the eventide;
The darkness deepens; Lord, with me abide;
When other helpers fail and comforts flee,
Help of the helpless, oh, abide with me.

Swift to its close ebbs out life’s little day;
Earth’s joys grow dim, its glories pass away;
Change and decay in all around I see—
O Thou who changest not, abide with me.

I need Thy presence every passing hour;
What but Thy grace can foil the tempter’s pow’r?
Who, like Thyself, my guide and stay can be?
Through cloud and sunshine, Lord, abide with me.

I fear no foe, with Thee at hand to bless;
Ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness;
Where is death’s sting? Where, grave, thy victory?
I triumph still, if Thou abide with me.

Hold Thou Thy cross before my closing eyes;
Shine through the gloom and point me to the skies;
Heav’n’s morning breaks, and earth’s vain shadows flee;
In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me.

Henry F.lyte 1847

Chr: Olorun to da awon oke igbani,

Amusaopeyemi:

I cry each time I hear this hynm, it was sang during my mom's burial so it brings back memories.

I felt vicariously sorrowful scrolling through your post. My sincere condolence.

Btw, i quite like your signature. I surmise you have been reading Adichie's "Half of a yellow sun''.

ROCK OF AGES" Rock!!!!

All hail the power of Jesus’
Name!
Let angels prostrate fall;
Bring forth the royal
diadem,
And crown Him Lord of
all!
Ye chosen seed of Israel’s
race,
Ye ransomed from the
fall,
Hail Him Who saves you
by His grace,
And crown Him Lord of
all! Let every kindred, every
tribe,
On this terrestrial ball,
To Him all majesty
ascribe,
And crown Him Lord of
all!
Oh, that with yonder
sacred throng
We at His feet may fall!
We’ll join the everlasting
song,
And crown Him Lord of
all!

Heaven came down and glory filled my soul, when at the cross the saviour made me whole; my sins were washed away and my night was turned to day! Heaven came down and glory filled my soul!

This is mine: In Christ alone my hope is found, He is my light, my strenght, my song; This cornerstone, this solid ground, Firm through the fiercest drought and storm. What heights of love, what depths of peace, when fears are stilled, when strivings cease! My comforter, my all in all, here in the love of Christ I stand.

Jesus my Lord, I thee adore, oh make me love you more and more

It pays to serve Jesus, I speak from my heart,
He'll always be with us, if we do our part
There's naught in this wide world can pleasure afford;
There's peace and contentment in serving the Lord.
CHORUS
I love Him far better than in days of yore
I'll serve Him more truly than ever before,
I'll do as He bids me, whatever the cost,
I'll be a true soldier, I'll die at my post.

(1) On a hill far away stood an old
rugged cross
the emblem of suffering and sham,
And i love that old cross where the
dearest and best
for a world of lost sinners was slain

so I'll cherish the old rugged
cross
till my trophies at last i lay
down
i will cling to the old rugged
cross
and exchange it someday for a crown

2) oh, that old rugged cross, so
despised by the world
has a wondrous attraction for me
for the dear lamb of God left his glory above
to bear it at dark calvary

3) in the old rugged cross
stain with blood so divine
a wondrous beauty i see
for' twas on that old cross
Jesus suffer and died
to pardon & sanctify me
