Be Not Dismayed Whate'er Betide
Lyrics: Civilla Durfee Martin (1866-1948)
Music: Walter Stillman Martin (1862-1935)

1. Be not dismayed whate'er betide,
God will take care of you!
Beneath His wings of love abide,
God will take care of you!

God will take care of you,
Through every day o'er all the way;
He will take care of you;
God will take care of you!

2. Through days of toil when heart doth fail,
God will take care of you!
When dangers fierce your path assail,
God will take care of you!

3. All you may need He will provide,
God will take care of you!
Trust Him, and you will be satisfied,
God will take care of you!

4. Lonely and sad, from friends apart,
God will take care of you!
He will give peace to your aching heart,
God will take care of you!

5. No matter what may be the test,
God will take care of you!
Lean, weary one, upon His breast,
God will take care of you!

He Set Me Free
The King's Heralds

Once like a bird... in prison I dwelt...
No freedom from... my sorrow I felt...
But Jesus came and listened to me...
And glory to God... He set me free...

He set me free... yes... He set me free...
He broke the bonds... of prison for me...
I'm glory... bound my Jesus to... see...
For glory to God... He set me free...

Now I am climbing... higher each day...
Darkness of night... has drifted away...
My feet are planted... on higher ground...
And glory to God... I'm homeward bound...

Good bye to sin... and things that confound...
Naught of this world... shall turn me around...
Daily... I'm working... and I'm praying too...
And glory to God... I'm going through...

He set me free... yes... he set me free...
He broke the bonds... of prison for me...
I'm glory... bound my Jesus to... see...
For glory to God... He set me free...

OLAADEGBU:


I'm Free Again

Satan led my soul astray (Satan led my soul astray I drifted)
From the straight and narrow way (that leads to happiness and life eternal)
But to Jesus I did pray (to the Lord I humbly prayed)
He heard my prayer, rescued me that very day (that very day)

Chorus:
Praise God I'm free (free from every chain of sin)
I've been set free by the grace of God
I'm free (with a settled peace within)
No more the paths of sin I trod
I'm free (heaven's gates I'll enter in)
The blood has cleansed every sinful stain
I'm free (praise the living God)
I'm free again (I'm free again)

Soon the pearly gates I'll see (soon the pearly gates I'll see in heaven)
Soon I'll live eternally (and then I'll never die but live forever)
Friends and loved ones wait for me (friends and love ones wait for me)
I'll sail up high through the sky because I'm free (because I'm free)

Repeat Chorus

1. Sometimes the shadows gather
And mists obscure the way
Sometimes the clouds grow heavy
And darken all the day
How precious to remember
Our Father's loving care
That He still loves His children
And He answers prayer

Keep on believing
God will answer prayer
Keep on believing, never despair
Tho' you be heavy-laden
And burdened down with care
Remember God still loves you
And He answers prayer

2. Sometimes the way is dreary
We seem to walk alone
Forgetting that the Father
Keeps watch above His own
How many needless sorrows
The faithless have to bear
For God still loves His children
And He answers prayer

Keep On Believing
God will answer prayer
Keep on believing, never despair
Tho' you be heavy-laden
And burdened down with care
Remember God still loves you
And He answers prayer

3. O soul, weighed down with sorrow
Beneath a heavy load
Remember God will help you
However rough the road
His grace is still sufficient
For ev'ry load of care
God ever loves His children
And He answers prayer

Keep on believing
God will answer prayer
Keep on believing, never despair
Tho' you be heavy-laden
And burdened down with care
Remember God still loves you
And He answers prayer

Work, for the Night is Coming
Mrs. Harry Coghill

1. Work, for the night is coming,
Work thro' the morning hours;
Work while the dew is sparkling,
Work 'mid springing flow'rs.
Work when the day grows brighter,
Under the glowing sun;
Work, for the night is coming,
When man's work is done.

2. Work for the night is coming,
Work thro' the sunny noon;
Fill brightest hours with labor--
Rest comes sure and soon.
Give every flying minute
Something to keep in store;
Work, for the night is coming,
When man works no more.

3. Work for the night is coming,
Under the sunset skies:
While their bright tints are glowing,
Work, for daylight flies.
Work till the last beam fadeth,
Fadeth to shine no more;
Work, while the night is dark'ning,
When man's work is o'er.

Keep On The Firing Line
Bessie F. Hatcher, 1915

1. If you're in the battle for the Lord and right,
Keep on the firing line;
If you win, my brother, surely you must fight,
Keep on the firing line;
There are many dangers that we all must face,
If we die still fighting it is no disgrace;
Cowards in the service will not find a place,
So keep on the firing line.

Refrain:
Oh, you must fight, be brave against all evil,
Never run, nor even lag behind;
If you would win for God and the right,
Just keep on the firing line.

2. God will only use the soldier He can trust,
Keep on the firing line;
If you'll wear a crown then bear the cross you must,
Keep on the firing line.
Life is but to labour for the Master dear,
Help to banish evil and to spread good cheer;
Great you'll be rewarded for your service here,
So keep on the firing line.

3. When we get to heaven, brother, we'll be glad,
Keep on the firing line;
How we'll praise the Saviour for the call we had,
Keep on the firing line;
When we see the souls that we have helped to win,
Leading them to Jesus, from the paths of sin,
With a shout of welcome, we will all march in,
So keep on the firing line.

Let Others See Jesus In You

While passing thro' this world of sin,
and others your life shall view,
Be clean and pure without, within;
Let others see Jesus in you.

Refrain:
Let others see Jesus in you,
Let others see Jesus in you.
Keep telling the story, be faithful and true;
Let others see Jesus in you.

2. Your life's a book before their eyes,
They're reading it thro' and thro'
Say, does it point them to the sky,
Do others see Jesus in you?

Refrain

3. Then live for Christ both day and night,
Be faithful, be brave and true,
and lead the lost to life and Christ.
Let others see Jesus in you.

TAKE MY LIFE (GHS 87)

1. Take my life, and let it be
Consecrated, Lord, to Thee;
Take my moments and my days,
Let them flow in ceaseless praise.

2. Take my hands, and let them move
At the impulse of Thy love;
Take my feet, and let them be
Swift and beautiful for Thee.

3. Take my voice and let me sing
Always, only for my King;
Take my lips and let them be
Filled with messages from Thee.

4. Take my silver and my gold;
Not a mite would I withhold;
Take my intellect, and use
Every power as Thou shalt choose.

5. Take my will and make it Thine,
It shall be no longer mine;
Take my heart, it is Thine own;
It shall be Thy royal throne.

6. Take my love; my Lord, I pour
At Thy feet its treasure-store;
Take myself, and I will be
Ever, only, all for Thee.

O BROTHER, LIFE'S JOURNEY BEGINNING
Ira D. Sankey (1840–1908)

1. O brother, life's journey beginning,
With courage and firmness arise!
Look well to the course thou art choosing;
Be earnest, be watchful, and wise!
Remember—two paths are before thee,
And both thy attention invite;
But one leadeth on to destruction,
The other to joy and delight.

Refrain

God help you to follow His banner,
And serve Him wherever you go;
And when you are tempted, my brother,
God give you the grace to say No!

2. O brother, yield not to the tempter,
No matter what others may do;
Stand firm in the strength of the Master,
Be loyal, be faithful, and true!
Each trial will make you the stronger,
If you, in the name of the Lord,
Fight manfully under your leader,
Obeying the voice of His Word.

Refrain

3. O brother, the Saviour is calling!
Beware of the danger of sin;
Resist not the voice of the Spirit,
That whispers so gently within.
God calls you to enter His service—
To live for Him here, day by day;
And share by and by in the glory
That never shall vanish away.

Hear My Cry Oh Lord (Psalm 61:1-3).

"Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer.
From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee,
When my heart is overwhelmed:
lead me to the rock that is higher than I
For thou hast been a shelter for me,
And a strong tower from the enemy" (Psalm 61:1-3).

HIS WAY WITH THEE

Would you have Him bear your burden, carry all your load?
Let Him have His way with thee.

His blood can cleanse your heart and make you free;

Who is on the Lord's side?
Frances Ridley Havergal (1836-1879)

1. Who is on the Lord's side?
Who will serve the King?
Who will be His helpers,
Other lives to bring?
Who will leave the world's side?
Who will face the foe?
Who is on the Lord's side?
Who for Him will go?

By Thy grand redemption,
By Thy grace divine,
We are on the Lord's side;
Saviour, we are Thine.

2. Not for weight of glory,
Not for crown and palm,
Enter we the army,
Raise the warrior psalm;
But for love that claimeth
Lives for whom He died;
He whom Jesus nameth
Must be on His side.

3. Jesus, Thou hast bought us,
Not with gold or gem,
But with Thine own life-blood,
For Thy diadem;
With Thy blessing filling
Each who comes to Thee,
Thou hast made us willing,
Thou hast made us free.

4. Fierce may be the conflict,
Strong may be the foe,
But the King's own army
None can overthrow.
Round His standard ranging
Victory is secure,
For His truth unchanging
Makes the triumph sure.

5. Chosen to be soldiers
In an alien land:
Chosen, called, and faithful,
For our Captain's band;
In the service royal
Let us not grow cold;
Let us be right loyal,
Noble, true, and bold.

Are clouds obscuring the sun from view?
Keep trusting Jesus tho storms assail!
You have His promise, He will not fail!

Don't be discouraged but carry on,
He'll not forsake you, the sun will break through,

Just put your problem in His great Hands;
No trouble meets you, but in His will!
He's not forgotten- He loves you still!

Jesus will help you, and he'll bring you through;
He'll never leave you, or let you down;

There is no shadow of turning with Thee;

As Thou hast been Thou forever wilt be.

Morning by morning new mercies I see;
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided—
"Great is Thy faithfulness," Lord, unto me!

2. Summer and winter, and springtime and harvest,
Sun, moon and stars in their courses above,
Join with all nature in manifold witness
To Thy great faithfulness, mercy and love.

Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow,
Blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside!

Come Unto Me
Charles P. Jones, pub.1908

1. Hear the blessed Saviour calling the oppressed,
"Oh, ye heavy-laden, come to Me and rest;
Come, no longer tarry, I your load will bear,
Bring Me every burden, bring Me every care."

Refrain:
Come unto Me, I will give you rest;
Take My yoke upon you, hear Me and be blest;
I am meek and lowly, come and trust My might;
Come, My yoke is easy, and My burden's light.

2. Are you disappointed, wand'ring here and there,
Dragging chains of doubt and loaded down with care?
Do unholy feelings struggle in your breast?
Bring your case to Jesus—He will give you rest.

3. Stumbling on the mountains dark with sin and shame,
Stumbling toward the pit of hell's consuming flame;
By the pow'rs of sin deluded and oppressed,
Hear the tender Shepherd, "Come to Me and rest."

4. Have you cares for business, cares of pressing debt?
Cares of social life or cares of hopes unmet?
Are you by remorse or sense of guilt depressed,
Come right on to Jesus, He will give you rest.

5. Have you by temptation often conquered been,
Has a sense of weakness brought distress within?
Christ will sanctify you, if you'll claim His best;
In the Holy Spirit, He will give you rest.

You Can't Do Wrong and Get By
Lethal A. Ellis, 1929

There's a God who's standing at heaven's door,
He's looking this universe o'er;
And He sees each mortal with a searching eye,
You can't do wrong and get by.

Refrain:
You can't do wrong and get by,
No matter how much you may try;
Nothing hidden can be, everything He doth see,
You can't do wrong and get by.

Out into the darkness you alone may go,
And seeds for the wicked one sow;
There's an eye that's watching from the throne on high,
You can't do wrong and get by.

Yes, He knows your secrets, everything you do,
He knows that your life is untrue;
You can ne'er deceive Him, there's no use to try,
You can't do wrong and get by.

You Have Longed For Sweet Peace, And For Faith To Increase
Elisha Albright Hoffman (1839-1929)

1. You have longed for sweet peace, and for faith to increase,
And have earnestly, fervently prayed;
But you cannot have rest, or be perfectly blest,
Until all on the altar is laid.

Is your all on the altar of sacrifice laid?
Your heart, does the Spirit control?
You can only be blest and have peace and sweet rest,
As you yield Him your body and soul.

2. Would you walk with the Lord in the light of His Word,
And have peace and contentment alway;
You must do His sweet will to be free from all ill;
On the altar your all you must lay.

3. Oh, we never can know what the Lord will bestow
Of the blessings for which we have prayed,
Till our body and soul He doth fully control,
And our all on the altar is laid.

4. Who can tell all the love He will send from above!
Oh, how happy our heart will be made!
Oh, what fellowship sweet we shall share at His feet,
When our all on the altar is laid!
