Songs of faith and farewell

1: JESUS, lover of my soul,  Let me to Thy bosom fly,  While the nearer waters roll,  While the tempest still is high:  Hide me, O my Saviour, hide,  Till the storm of life is past;  Safe into the haven guide,  O receive my soul at last. 2: Other refuge have I none,  Hangs my helpless soul on Thee;  Leave, ah! leave me not alone,  Still support and comfort me:  All my trust on Thee is stayed,  All my help from Thee I bring;  Cover my defenseless head  With the shadow of Thy wing.  3: Thou, O Christ, art all I want,  More than all in Thee I find.  Raise the fallen, cheer the faint,  Heal the sick, and lead the blind:  Just and holy is Thy name,  I am all unrighteousness;  False and full of sin I am,  Thou art full of truth and grace.  4: Plenteous grace with thee is found,  Grace to cover all my sin;  Let the healing streams abound,  Make and keep me pure within:  Thou of life the fountain art,  Freely let me take of Thee,  Spring Thou up within my heart,  Rise to all eternity. Amen.

1 Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee; E’en though it be a cross That raiseth me, Still all my song shall be Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee. 2 Though, like a wanderer, The sun gone down, Darkness comes over me, My rest a stone; Yet in my dreams I’d be Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee. 3 There let me see the sight, An open heaven; All that Thou sendest me, In mercy given; Angels to beckon me Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee. 4 Then, with my waking thoughts Bright with Thy praise, Out of my stony griefs Bethel I’ll raise, So by my woes to be Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee.

1. Guide me, O thou great Jehovah, Pilgrim through this barren land I am weak, but thou art mighty hold me with thy powerful hand. Bread of heaven, bread of heaven Feed me till I want no more. 2. Open now the crystal fountain, Whence the healing stream doth flow Let the fire and cloudy pillar Lead me all my journey through Strong deliverer, strong deliverer Be thou still my strength and shield. 3. When I tread the verge of Jordan, Bid my anxious fears subside Death of death and hell's destruction Land me safe on Canaan's side Songs of praises, songs of praises I will ever give to thee.

1 Pleasant are Thy courts above In the land of light and love; Pleasant are Thy courts below In this land of sin and woe. O my spirit longs and faints For the converse of Thy saints, For the brightness of Thy face, For Thy fullness, God of grace. 2 Happy birds that sing and fly Round Thy altars, O Most High; Happier souls that find a rest In a heavenly Father's breast! Like the wandering dove that found No repose on earth around, They can to their ark repair And enjoy it ever there. 3 Happy souls, their praises flow Even in this vale of woe; Waters in the desert rise, Manna feeds them from the skies; On they go from strength to strength Till they reach Thy throne at length, At Thy feet adoring fall, Who hast led them safe through all. 4 Lord, be mine this prize to win; Guide me through a world of sin, Keep me by Thy saving grace, Give me at Thy side a place. Sun and shield alike Thou art; Guide and guard my erring heart. Grace and glory flow from Thee; Shower, O shower them, Lord, on me.
