For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal.

For we walk by faith, not by sight.
2 Corinthians 5:7

​

oly:


By Faith in Christ I Walk With God

By faith in Christ I walk with God,
With Heav’n, my journey’s end, in view;
Supported by His staff and rod,
My road is safe and pleasant too.
I travel through a desert wide
Where many round me blindly stray;
But He vouchsafes to be my Guide,
And will not let me miss my way.

Though snares and dangers throng my path,
And earth and hell my course withstand;
I triumph over all by faith,
Guarded by His almighty hand.
The wilderness affords no food,
But God for my support prepares;
Provides me every needful good,
And frees my soul from wants and cares.

With Him sweet converse I maintain,
Great as He is I dare be free;
I tell Him all my grief and pain,
And He reveals His love to me.
Some cordial from His Word He brings,
Whene’er my feeble spirit faints;
Be this my choice, O Lord, to walk
With Thee, my Guide, my Guard, my Friend.

Psalm 17:8

Thou Tender, Gracious Father

Thou tender, gracious Father, Who watches over me,
How shall I ever praise Thee, how love and honor Thee?
Thou guidest me with caution from every secret snare,
And ’neath Thy wings a refuge I find in my despair.

With raiment, food and shelter, whate’er my needs imply,
For soul and body ever, do Thou in grace supply.
O Lord, I soon would perish if aught Thou should exclude;
O could I love Thee better and prove my gratitude.

In childlike, true obedience help me to do the right;
May precious be Thy statutes, Thy yoke be pleasant light!
And when some hardship threatens, a danger frightens me,
May Thou in all my trials my present helper be.

Thy heart is all compassion, with love it overflows;
Whate’er of ill betide me, Thou knowest, and my woes.
Thou dost not sleep nor slumber, by night nor thru the days;
Thine arms, almighty Father, enfold all time and space.

On Thee Each Morning, O My God

On Thee each morning, O my God, my waking thoughts attend;
In whom are founded all my hopes, in whom my desires end.
My soul, in pleading wonder lost, Thy boundless love surveys,
And fired with grateful zeal prepares Her sacrifice of praise.

When evening slumbers press my eyes, with Thy protection blest,
In peace and safety I commit my life in Thee to rest.
My spirit in Thy hands secure fears no approaching ill;
For whether waking or asleep Thou, Lord, art with me still.

Then will I daily to the world Thy wondrous acts proclaim;
Whilst all with me shall praises sing and bless Thy sacred name.
At morn, at noon, at night I’ll still the growing work pursue;
And Thee alone wilt praise, to whom eternal praise is due.

Psalm 74:16

Father, By Thy Love and Power

Father, by Thy love and power comes again the evening hour;
Light has vanished, labors cease, weary creatures rest in peace;
Thou, whose genial dews distill on the lowliest weed that grows
Father, guard our couch from ill, lull Thy children to repose,
We to Thee ourselves resign, let our latest thoughts be Thine.

Savior, to Thy Father bear this our feeble evening prayer;
Thou hast seen how oft today we, like sheep, have gone astray;
Worldly thoughts, and thoughts of pride, wishes to Thy cross untrue,
Secret faults and undescried, meet Thy spirit-piercing view;
Blessèd Savior, yet, through Thee, grant that we may pardoned be.

Holy Spirit, breath of balm fall on us in evening’s calm;
Yet a while, before we sleep, we with Thee will vigils keep;
Lead us on our sins to muse, give us truest penitence;
Then the love of God infuse, breathing humble confidence;
Melt our spirits, mold our will, soften, strengthen, comfort still.

Blessèd Trinity, be near, through the hours of darkness drear;
Then, when shrinks the lonely heart, Thou more clearly present art;
Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, watch o’er our defenseless heads;
Let Thy angels’ guardian host keep all evil from our beds,
Till the flood of morning rays wake us to a song of praise.

Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.
Galatians 6:2

​

oly:


Bear You One Another’s Burdens

Bear you one another’s burdens, as you struggle on thro’ life;
Turn not on your erring brother, add not to his care and strife;
Let your heart beat kindly for him, for this world with sin is rife.
If his burden be so heavy that he stoops beneath the care,
Help him bear it, of your vigor, give him as you well can spare.

Wipe away the tears of sorrow falling from his weary eyes;
Point him to a joy eternal, in the land beyond the skies,
Ere his pining heart in anguish, bitter, hopeless anguish, dies.
Sympathy and love can brighten burdens that are hard to bear;
Angels bright will help you nobly, angels from the land so fair.

Wrap not close your mantle ’round you — Mantle dark, of selfish pride;
In your bosom, gentle impulse do not strive to crush or hide;
There is much of good and evil in this world so broad and wide.
Much for willing hearts of labor, much of good there is to do;
Then arouse! leave not the burden bearing heavy on the few.

The load of grief in anguish borne,
The Lord is near, He knows.

Oh, fainting soul, with doubts oppressed,
Thy Lord is near and knows;
He knows it all — how thou art pressed
On every side with foes;
He waits to be thy cherished guest;
The Lord is near, He knows.

Oh, weary head, that fain would rest,
Thy Lord is near and knows;
He knows it all, and on His breast
Thou mayest now repose;
Drop every care at His behest,
The Lord is near, He knows.

Oh, lonely one, live thou thy best,
Thy Lord is near and knows;
He knows it all, sees every test,
Yes, every tear that flows;
Rejoice, faint heart, His way is best,
Thy Lord is near, He knows.

While countless ages roll.

Thy boundless love I’ll sing,

’Tis under Thy protecting wing,
My soul delights to be.

For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord. 1 Thessalonians. 4:16-17​

Therefore comfort one another with these words.

What a Greeting

On the great eternal morning, when we’ll hear the trumpet blast,
When eternal day is dawning and the night of sin is past;
When we see the Savior coming in His glorious array,
Hallelujah! what a greeting there will be that day!

When the sun of righteousness shall rise above the eastern hills,
When its golden rays in splendor glitter o’er the rocks and rills,
On that resurrection morning when the dead in Christ shall rise,
We will shout to meet each other yonder in the skies.

There will be no sin or evil, and the tempter will be bound;
In the place of grief and sorrow shouts of glory will resound;
We shall reign with Christ a thousand years, His face we then shall see;
Hallelujah! what a time of glory that will be!

What a greeting, what a meeting,
When our Savior we shall see by and by!
What a greeting, what a meeting,
When the blessed Savior comes in the sky!

Praise His Name Forever

Glory, honor, majesty and power
Be to Him now risen from the dead,
Who from death hath taken every terror,
And hath made the grave a victor’s bed.

Songs of joy we sing in exultation,
Of our king, Redeemer, Lord of all!
For He lives, o’er sin and death victorious;
Earth and Heav’n His mighty deeds extol.

Angels praise Him, in the highest glory,
Cherubim and seraphim adore;
While our human hearts awake the chorus,
Jesus lives! He lives forevermore!

Praise His name forever,
Lift up the voice in honor of our risen king!
Mighty to deliver,
With angels we His praise will sing.

Glory to God! I’m out of hell.

The Lord has pardoned all my sin,
And now to praise Him I’ll begin;
I never praised the Lord before,
But now I’ll praise Him more and more.

I spurned His grace, I broke His laws,
But Jesus undertook my cause;
Bad as I was, He cleansed my soul,
Healed my disease, and made me whole.

Praise God for what He’s done for us!
He’s turned our hearts to praise Him thus,
And now He cries, “Go on, go on!
I’ll crown you when your work is done.”

To Be Used of God

I’ve a yearning in my heart that cannot be denied,
It’s a longing that has never been satisfied;
I want this world to know, the one who loves them so,
Like a flame its burning deep down inside.

When I think about the shortness of all these earthly years,
I remember all the wasted days all the wasted tears;
I long to preach the word to those who have never heard,
Of the One who can dispel all they feel.

To be used of God to sing, to speak, to pray,
To be used of God to show someone the way,
I long so much to feel the touch of His consuming fire,
To be used of God is my desire.

For we are sojourners and pilgrims before You, as were all our fathers.
1 Chronicles 29:15​

The days of our lives are seventy years; and if by reason of strength they are eighty years, yet their boast is only labor and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away. So teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom. Psalm 90:10, 12​

oly:


Time, By Moments, Steals Away

Time, by moments, steals away, first the hour, and then the day;
Small the daily loss appears, yet it soon amounts to years:
Thus another year is flown, now it is no more our own
If it brought or promised good, than the years before the flood.

But may none of us forget it has left us much in debt;
Favors from the Lord received, sins that have His Spirit grieved;
Marked by an unerring hand in His book recorded stand;
Who can tell the vast amount, placed to each of our account?

Happy, the believing soul! Christ for you has paid the whole;
While you own the debt is large, you may plead a full discharge:
But poor careless sinner, say, what can you to justice pay?
Tremble, lest when life is past, into prison you be cast!

Will you still increase the score? Still be careless, as before?
O, forbid it, gracious Lord, touch their spirits by Thy Word!
Now, in mercy, to them show what a mighty debt they owe!
All their unbelief subdue, let them find forgiveness too.

Spared to see the years and days, let Thy blessing meet us here;
Come, Thy dying work revive, bid Thy drooping garden thrive:
Sun of righteousness arise, warm our hearts, and bless our eyes;
Let our prayer Thy heart move, make the next moment a time of love!

Matthew 9:37

Ho! Reapers of Life’s Harvest

Ho! reapers of life’s harvest,
Why stand with rusted blade,
Until the night draws round thee,
And day begins to fade?
Why stand ye idle, waiting
For reapers more to come?
The golden morn is passing,
Why sit ye idle, dumb?

Thrust in your sharpened sickle,
And gather in the grain,
The night is fast approaching,
And soon will come again;
The Master calls for reapers,
And shall He call in vain?
Shall sheaves lie there ungathered,
And waste upon the plain?

Mount up the heights of wisdom,
And crush each error low;
Keep back no words of knowledge
That human hearts should know.
Be faithful to thy mission,
In service of thy Lord,
And then a golden chaplet
Shall be thy just reward.

When Jesus shall come in His beauty
To earth, to His great harvest field?

The Lord of the harvest is coming,
The world shall acknowledge His might
When He shall descend with His angels,
His angels of glory and light.
A message of joy to His faithful,
But where will the faithless be found?
When Jesus shall come to His people
His voice through the world shall resound.

The Lord of the harvest is coming,
Be ready, He bids thee to wait,
For oh, in the clouds we shall see Him,
If early He cometh, or late.
Prepare, nor delay, bid Him welcome,
So soon His dear face thou shalt see,
The Savior is coming so surely,
A message He’ll bring unto thee.

The Lord of the harvest is coming, is coming
We know not the day and we know not the hour,
When He shall appear in His glory,

There came down a storm of wind on the lake; and they were filled with water, and were in jeopardy. And they came to Him, and awoke Him, saying, “Master, Master, we perish.” Then He arose, and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water: and they ceased, and there was a calm.

When the Storms of Life Surround Me

When the storms of life surround me,
And the world seems dark and cold,
When the rain beats down upon me,
And the lightning stabs my soul,
I cry out to my Savior,
“Lord, help me, lest I die!
Do You care not that the billows
Push my boat toward the shoal?”

When the raging winds and tempest,
And the noxious clouds of sin,
Whirl around me like an army,
And my faith is wearing thin,
In a whispering distant thunder,
Comes a voice like morning calm:
“Fear not, I am with you ever,
Till the world shall see its end.”

“I command the winds of heaven,
And the lightning does My will,
I who walked upon the waters,
And who bid the storm be still.
I seek not your destruction,
But to strengthen and make pure;
Keep your faith in Me, believing
I My promises fulfill.”

He is greater than the thunder,
He is mightier than the storm;
He extends His hand to lift me,
And protect my soul from harm.
He will see me safe to harbor,
To the haven of my rest,
Sheltered by the Rock of Ages,
Held in His almighty arm.

And from all enmity and strife we're free.
No unkind words to wrong the heart are spoken,

And join the throng upon the glassy sea?
To greet our loved ones and crown Christ forever,
