Deeper yet, deeper yet, into the crimson flood;Deeper yet, deeper yet, under the precious blood. do you follow him, Have you heard the story of the Lamb once slaid, Holiness unto the Lord, shout it over hill and plain, How happy we'd be could we but understand, How many dear friends have passed on from my sight, How many sad partings we have on earth's shore, How oft as you journey, some brother you meet, How often I cry when I think of his grace, How to reach the masses, men of every birth, How we love to sing of heaven and its wealth, I am a pilgrim to a land, that's on the other side, I am bound for that city that is far above, I am happy on the way, that I travel day by day, I am on my way to heaven, to those mansions of the soul, I am on the gospel highway, pressing forward, I am singing and I'm shouting all along the pilgrim way, I am thinking of the rapture in our blessed home on high, I am walking with my Savior, I am walking, I ask not for the highest place, But find a spot more sweet, I did not believe the story of a resurrection day, I have a friend, a precious friend, O how he loves me, I have found a Friend indeed, who supplies, I have found a Friend who has saved my soul, I have found sweet peace for my storm tossed soul, I have left old Egypt, its toiling and its tears, I have made a resolution with the help of God, I have reached the land where living waters flow, I have read of a beautiful city, whose portals are, I have set my face toward the land of Canaan, I see my Savior hanging on the bloody tree, I shall not bear the cross through yon city, I shall see my Savior's face, sometime, sometime, If by some tempest your sail has been driven, If Christ the Redeemer has pardoned your sin, If now in sorrow weeping, Your eyes with tears, If some night God shall send his death angel, If the ship be lost When by billows tossed, If thou wouldst have the dear Savior from heaven, If waves of affliction should over thee roll, If you ask me why I'm happy as I journey down life's way, If you have started for yonder bright city, If you need a friend to help you every moment of the day, If you reach the gates before me to that land of endless day, If you would be a blessing as you're passing down life's way, If you're counting those who are saved and sealed, I'll walk with thee adown life's weary road, I'm as happy as can be, for I'm going home, I'm glad I ever started in this blessed Christian way, I'm safe if the angel of death comes tonight, I'm saved by the blood of the Crucified One, And kept by the power of God’s blessed Son, I'm saved by the blood of the Crucified One, That flowed from His side, In God's home is a book called "The Lambs book of life", In heaven there's rejoicing as angels fair, In my heart the bells are ringing, I rejoice the whole day long, In my heart there's a song like the river, In the blood from the cross I have been washed from sin, In the dreary pathway that I oft must tread, In the name of the Lord I have wielded my pen, In the path I travel Golden sunbeams round me play, In the shadow of the cross The heavenly breezes blow, In the spacious halls of heaven, there is room for every one, Is your cup of blessing now filled to the brim, It was love that brought my Savior to the manger at his birth, I've a special invitation from the New Jerusalem, Jesus, my Savior, O, how dear thou art to me, Joyfully, joyfully praise the name of the Lord, Just a little while to tarry in this vale of grief and tears, Just as the sculptor, from his block of stone, Just over the river there lies a fair land, Learning every day, words of truth and grace, Let others choose pleasures of sin if they may, Let the way be dark, let the way be light, Lift your eyes, ye pilgrims Toward the promised land, Like the sunshine breaking through the clouds, Listen to the Savior while he calls to you, Lonely at evening a mother is sitting waiting, Long I have wandered far away from my Lord, Looking back through the years I can see my dear Lord, Make me, Savior, O, I pray, more like thee, Many long years I sailed o'er life's ocean, My boat had once floated away from the shore, My heart is still singing the praises of God, My life is full of sunshine, My heart is full of song, My Savior bought my pardon upon the cruel tree, My Savior is with me each step of life's way, My Savior has a home prepared beyond the skies, No matter how far from the fold you have wandered, No matter where I may be called of the Lord, Not all earth's gold and silver Can make a sinner whole, N'r din f'rd paa lifvets haf bland stormar b'r, O brother, if the Lord has forgiv'n your sin, O how often I think as I walk down the valley, O, Lord, when alone and dreary is the night, O sinner, are you seeking that country in the sky, O sinner, come list to this wonderful story, O soul in the struggle and trials of life, O the love of God constrains me in the way, O there is great joy in heaven when a sinner starts for home, O what is the song that the blood washed sing, O where is my father who used to love me so, Often my soul seems to catch a sweet strain, Often when the stars are shining overhead, O the best songs of all are the songs about Jesus, O the gospel light is spreading over all the earth today, On the golden streets of heaven all men hope to walk some day, On the mountain of Zion beyond the blue sky, Once a little cloud was sighted, not much larger than a hand, Once a sinner far from Jesus, I was perishing with cold, Once deep conviction the Lord on me did roll, Once far from my Jesus, and blinded by sin, Once from my poor sin-sick soul Christ did every burden roll, Once my poor heart found that a sinner's prayer, Once Peter took a step or two upon the rolling sea, Once shepherds in the fields their flocks were tending, One night my bark by the tempest was driven, Our friends are gathering one by one Upon the hills of glory, Our Lord can hold the ocean in the hollow of His hand, Over yonder stands the mansion Christ prepared for me, Peter asked the Savior, What shall this man do, Praise be to our God, let us sing and extol, Praise God for the gospel that came from above, Praise the Lord, there is mercy in heaven, Put your hand to the plow and go straight ahead, Rejoice with great joy each hour of the day, Ring out the glad bells, the sweet Christmas bells, Savior, I will follow Thee Thou art all the world to me, Shall we meet beyond the river, on that happy golden shore, Since I first started for heaven and right, Since I found the Savior, I'm happy alway, Since I gave to Jesus my poor broken heart, Since I have found Jesus, life is not the same, Since I have received salvation, Savior, wheresoever I be, Since I read that my friend gave his life on the, Since I started for the city over in the promised land, Since I started out for the promised land, Since Jesus washed my sins away, 'tis glory all, Since stormy winds and cloudy skies his blessed, Soldiers who are fighting on the fields of sin, Some day I'll see my Savior, I know not when 'twill be, Soul, art thou seeking that heavenly land, Soul on your journey from earth to heaven, Souls who now are starving on the husks of sin, Standing like a lighthouse on the shores of time, Sweetest song that earth can sing, Jesus saves, Tell it over mountain, and tell it over plain, The feast is prepared, you're urged to come in, The home of my childhood was cheerful and bright, The Lord sends me blessings again and again, The Savior now is calling, O don't you hear, The children are gathering from near and from far, The soldiers are gathering from near and from far (Oatman), The stars now shining o'er me are calling, The story that came from the heavens above, The time for the zephyrs of springtime is here, The way our fathers traveled is good enough for me, The whole world will be drawn to the Savior, The wise men beheld a bright star in the sky, The world is full of constant friends who bless me with their love, There are roads that lead to the hills of peace, There are those, blessed Lord, who are dear to our hearts, There is a face at heaven's gate, The face of one I love, There is a place of perfect rest, Under the blood, There is help for your soul, O poor sinner, There is hope for you, weary sin sick soul, There is music in my soul, While from my lips hallelujahs roll, There is one of whom my praises ne'er shall end, There is work to do for Jesus, Work for everyone to do, There will be music throughout the whole day, There will be no darkened glass to look through yonder, There's a beautiful land that awaits the just, There's a city bright and fair, In that country over there (Oatman), There's a day now fast approaching, the most wonderful day of all, There's a great and mighty Captain who has never lost a fight, There's a home beyond the stars in the palace of the King, There's a land of fadeless beauty in the sky, There's a land of joy and beauty just across the surging tide, There's a land where the storms on life's ocean never break, There's a place where the angels of God love to meet, There's a promise older than Bethlehem's manger, There's a question that I o'er and o'er have pondered, There's a record that is being kept up yonder, There's a song that I am singing as I journey on my road, There's a song that I keep singing as I journey on my way, There's a still small voice now speaking to you, There's a train that runs from the earth to the sky, There's joy in my soul as I labor each day, There's not a friend like the lowly Jesus, There's One who left glory to die for my soul, These are the words of our Savior one day, These scenes, so bright, now take their flight, This is my mission wherever I go, Spreading the heavenly sunshine, This promise stands forth in the word of God, Though on the sea of life my little bark is tossed, Though friends are kind, though friends are true, Though I may wander this world far and wide, Though o'er my lifeless form you may be bending, Though o'er the earth you may wander afar, Though our on life's ocean the storm may be wild, Though sometimes the storms sweep around me, Though stormy gales sweep over life's sea, Though the mystic veil of darkness throws her mantle over all, Though the shadows gather over our pathway here, Though the storm beaten waves may dash over me, Though the waves of life may dash around us, Though the years of your life shall be many, Though thy path may lead through the world's great deep, "Though your sins be as scarlet" there is hope for you, Through narrows some vessels are passing each day, Time is gliding like the shuttle of the weaver, 'Tis but a little longer to travel down life’s road, To tell the world about the Savior's birth, Toiling for the Master in the fields around me, Upon the clouds of heaven our Savior went away, Upon the cross our Savior died, on Calvary's brow, 無一朋友能像謙卑耶穌 (Wú yÄ« péngyǒu néng xiàng qiānbēi yēsÅ«), Washed in the blood of the wonderful Savior, We are free from the chains that bound us here, We are on the Lord's side in the gospel fight, We are pressing toward a country where the surges never roll, We are told that up in heaven in the birthplace of the soul, We have sweet consolation while on our pilgrim way, Weary with toiling and worn out with care, We'll sing the praise of Jesus, the whole day long, We're watching and praying all along life's way, What though God's servants travel as heralds, What though our backs are bending at times, What though our parents have left us today, What though our pathway be shrouded in darkness, What though storms may sweep over life's ocean, When clouds, dark and heavy, hang over my way, When clouds, dark as midnight, hang over my head, When darkness once her wings had spread over slumbering Galilee, When days are gloomy, my heart still sings, When days become dreary and we become weary, When I, a poor, lost sinner, Before the Lord did fall, When I came to the Lord with a burden of sin, When I have reached the soul's bright land, When I reach the golden city, in the glorious summer land, When I see life's golden sunset lighting up the rosy west, When I'm weary with my walk down life's road, When in life's battle my weary soul would rest, When Israel's hosts were marching across the burning sand, When I've sailed the last league on life's ocean, When Jesus died on [upon] the cross (Oatman), When my barque I shall steer for the heavenly land, When my boat I shall anchor over on the golden strand, When my ship sails away for the land over the foam, When storms of life are 'round us sweeping, When the captive maid had told of a prophet grave and old, When the darkening twilight gathers over all the lea, When the fires are brightly burning on the altars, When the gates of heaven opened years ago, When the golden gate swings open to admit the ransomed throng, When the heavens at last roll up like a scroll, When the last day shall come and the roll shall be called, When the saints enter Zion on the resurrection day, When the Savior shall call for his saints, When the Savior was born on that wonderful night, When the shades of evening gather and the sun, When the storm clouds gather above my head, When the tempests of life sweep around my poor soul, When the way is rough before [for] you don't you know that Jesus knows, When time shall be over and God's children gather home, When to my spirit there comes a sweet strain, When to Zion the saints shall return some day, When trouble oppress you O do not despair, When upon life's billows you are tempest tossed, When upon life's rolling ocean fraught with danger is the trip, When upon the hills of glory we shall meet our friends again, When we hear the trumpet sounding On the resurrection day.
