But God, who is rich in mercy.
Ephesians 2:4

Rich in Mercy

“Rich in mercy,” hear the message full of blessings from above;
God is calling to the wayward in the sweetest tones of love:
“Rich in mercy,” gracious accents, falling like a breath from Heav’n;
Souls are purchased with a ransom, and the contrite are forgiv’n.

“Rich in mercy,” loud proclaim it! May the heralds never cease
’Til every soul led captive finds in Christ a sweet release;
Come, then, howe’er needy, all thy needs to Jesus bring;
There are riches, and there’s mercy, in the presence of the King.

I am happy in the presence of the King.
I am happy, O so happy!
I have peace and joy that nothing else can bring,
In the presence of the King.

“Rich in mercy,” wondrous story, let us sing it once again;
Sweeter music to the weary, than the angels’ glad refrain.

Go your way…for the joy of the LORD is your strength.

Psalm 71:16

In The Strength of The Lord

I will go in the strength of the Lord,
In the path He hath marked for my feet:
I will follow the light of His Word,
Nor shrink from the dangers I meet.
His presence my steps shall attend:
His fullness my wants shall supply;
On Him, till my journey shall end,
My hope shall securely rely.

Mercy is Boundless and Free

Thanks be to Jesus, His mercy is free, mercy is free, mercy is free;
Sinner, that mercy is flowing for thee, mercy is boundless and free.
If thou art willing on Him to believe, mercy is free, mercy is free;
Life everlasting thy soul may receive, mercy is boundless and free.

Why on the mountain of sin wilt thou roam, mercy is free, mercy is free;
Gently the Spirit is calling, “Come home,” mercy is boundless and free.
Thou art in darkness, O come to the light, mercy is free, mercy is free;
Jesus is waiting, He’ll save you tonight, mercy is boundless and free.

Think of His goodness, His patience, and love, mercy is free, mercy is free;
Pleading thy cause with His Father above, mercy is boundless and free.
Come and repenting, O give Him your heart, mercy is free, mercy is free;
Grieve Him no longer, but come as thou art, mercy is boundless and free.

Yes, there is pardon for all who believe, mercy is free, mercy is free;
Come and this moment a blessing receive, mercy is boundless and free.
Jesus is waiting, O hear Him proclaim, mercy is free, mercy is free;
Cling to His mercy, believe on His name, mercy is boundless and free.

Jesus the Savior is looking for thee — Mercy is boundless and free.
Looking for thee, looking for thee — Mercy is boundless and free.
Lovingly, tenderly calling for thee — Mercy is boundless and free.
Calling and looking for thee — Mercy is boundless and free.

In every thing give thanks.

Thankfulness

E’er the day is over we our thanks would say,
For the many pleasures we have had today,
Parents, friends and teachers made us happy, quite —
So a hearty, Thank you! tells of our delight.
E’er the day is over, let us now recall
How our heav’nly Father plans our pleasures all,
Planting seeds of kindness in each heart;
Dear Lord, we thank Thee from a thankful heart.

The same came therefore to Philip…saying, Sir, we would see Jesus.

We Would See Jesus

We would see Jesus; for the shadows lengthen
Across this little landscape of our life;
We would see Jesus, our weak faith to strengthen
For the last weariness, the final strife.
We would see Jesus, the great rock Foundation
Whereon our feet were set with sovereign grace;
Nor life nor death, with all their agitation,
Can thence remove us, if we see His face.

We would see Jesus; other lights are paling,
Which for long years we have rejoiced to see;
The blessings of our pilgrimage are failing;
We would not mourn them, for we go to Thee.
We would see Jesus; yet the spirit lingers
Round the dear objects it has loved so long,
And earth from earth can scarce unclasp its fingers;
Our love to Thee makes not this love less strong.

We would see Jesus: sense is all too binding,
And heaven appears too dim, too far away;
We would see Thee, Thyself our hearts reminding
What Thou hast suffered, our great debt to pay.
We would see Jesus: this is all we’re needing;
Strength, joy, and willingness come with the sight;
We would see Jesus, dying, risen, pleading;
Then welcome day, and farewell mortal night.

The LORD of hosts, He is the King of glory.
Psalm 24:10

The King of Glory Standeth

The King of Glory standeth beside the heart of sin;
His mighty voice commandeth the raging waves within;
The floods of deepest anguish roll backward at His will,
As o’er the storm ariseth His mandate, “Peace, be still.”
O Christ, Thy love is mighty; long suffering is Thy grace;
And glorious is the splendor that doth beam from Thy face.
Our hearts doth leap in gladness when we behold that love,
As we go singing onward, to dwell with Thee above.

When We See Christ

Oft times the day seems long, our trials hard to bear,
We're tempted to complain, to murmur and despair;
But Christ will soon appear to catch His Bride away,
All tears forever over in God's eternal day.

Sometimes the sky looks dark with not a ray of light,
We're tossed and driven on, no human help in sight;
But there is one in heav'n who knows our deepest care,
Let Jesus solve your problem — just go to Him in pray'r.

Life’s day will soon be o’er, all storms forever past,
We'll cross the great divide, to glory, safe at last;
We'll share the joys of heav’n — a harp, a home, a crown,
The tempter will be banished, we'll lay our burden down.

It will be worth it all when we see Jesus,
Life’s trials will seem so small when we see Christ;
One glimpse of His dear face all sorrow will erase,
So bravely run the race till we see Christ.

Now we see but a poor reflection…then we shall see face to face.

When are banished grief and pain;

And the dark things shall be plain.
Face to face I shall behold Him,
Far beyond the starry sky;
Face to face in all His glory,
I shall see Him by and by!

Lord, I Believe a Rest Remains

Lord, I believe a rest remains to all thy people known;
A rest where pure enjoyment reigns, and thou art loved alone.
A rest where all our soul’s desire is fixed on things above;
Where doubt, and pain, and fear expire, cast out by perfect love.
From every evil motion freed, the Son hath made us free,
On all the powers of hell we tread, in glorious liberty.

Safe in the way of life, above death, earth, and dread we rise;
We find, when perfect in love, our long-sought paradise.
O that I now the rest might know, believe, and enter in!
Now, Savior, now the power bestow, and let me cease from sin!
Remove this hardness from my heart, this unbelief remove;
To me the rest of faith impart, the Sabbath of thy love.

Come, O Savior, come away, upon my soul descend
No longer from thy creature stay, my Author and my End.
The bliss thou hast for me prepared no longer be delay’d;
Come, my exceeding great reward, for whom I first was made.
Come, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, and seal me thine abode!
Let all I am in thee be lost, let all be lost in God.

Yet midst all my soul keeps singing, I am in His care.

Sometimes dark clouds hang o’er me, not one step I see before me,
Still, my Savior, I adore Thee, I am in His keeping.
I can trust His hand to guide me, ’neath His wings He’ll safely hide me,
And no harm can e’er betide me, I am in His care.

When gentle eventide is nearing, light from heaven disappearing,
Still the blessed tho’t so cheering, I am in His keeping.
Now night’s curtains gather ’round me, yet its dangers have not found me,
For His angel guards surround me, I am in His care.

I am in my Father’s keeping,
I am in His tender care;
Whether waking, whether sleeping,
I am in His care.

Music and Rest

Called aside – From the glad working of thy busy life,
From the world’s ceaseless stir of care and strife,
Into the shade and stillness by thy Heavenly Guide
For a brief space thou hast been called aside.
Called aside – Perhaps into a desert garden dim;
And yet not alone, when thou hast been with Him,
And heard His voice in sweetest accents say:
’Child, wilt thou not with Me this still hour stay?

Called aside – In hidden paths with Christ thy Lord to tread,
Deeper to drink at the sweet Fountainhead,
Closer in fellowship with Him to roam,
Nearer, perchance, to feel thy Heavenly Home.
Called aside – Oh, knowledge deeper grows with Him alone;
In secret of His deeper love is shown,
And learnt in many an hour of dark distress
Some rare, sweet lesson of His tenderness.

Called aside – We thank thee for the stillness and the shade;
We thank Thee for the hidden paths Thy love hath made,
And, so that we have wept and watched with Thee,
We thank Thee for our dark Gethsemane.
Called aside – Oh, restful thought–He doeth all things well;
Oh, blessed sense, with Christ alone to dwell;
So in the shadow of Thy cross to hide,
We thank Thee, Lord, to have been called aside.

Waiting

Only waiting till the shadows are a little longer grown;
Only waiting till the glimmer of the day’s last beam is flown;
Till the night of death is faded from the heart once full of day;
Till the stars of heav’n are breaking thro’ the twilight soft and gray.

Only waiting till the reapers have the last sheaf gathered home;
For the summertime has faded and the autumn winds have come.
Quickly, reapers! gather quickly, all the ripe hours of my heart;
For the bloom of life has withered, and I hasten to depart.

Only waiting till the angels open wide the pearly gate,
At whose portals long I’ve lingered weary, poor and desolate:
Even now I hear their footsteps, and their voices far away;
If they call me, I am waiting, only waiting to obey.

Waiting for a brighter dwelling than I ever yet have seen,
Where the tree of life is blooming, and the fields are ever green:
Waiting for my full redemption, when my Savior shall restore,
All that sin has caused to wither; age and sorrow come no more.

Knowing Spring shall follow Winter and the earth again be green,
For the hope of that glad meeting far from mortal grief and pain -

For the lives that yet may need us, for their guidance and their cheer,
For the work that waits our doing, for the help we can bestow,
For the care that watches o'er us wheresoe'er our steps my go.

Lord of the years that are left to me,
I give them to Thy hand;
Take me and break me, mold me to
The pattern Thou hast planned.

I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me. Galatians 2:20​

Only to Know

Only to know that the path I tread
Is the path marked out for me;
That the way, though thorny, rough and steep,
Will lead me nearer to Thee!
Nearer to Thee! nearer to Thee!
Blessed Redeemer, to Thee!
Only to know that the path I tread
Is bringing me nearer to Thee!

Now a leper came to Him, imploring Him, kneeling down to Him and saying to Him, "If You are willing, You can make me clean." Then Jesus, moved with compassion, stretched out His hand and touched him, and said to him, "I am willing; be cleansed." As soon as He had spoken, immediately the leprosy left him, and he was cleansed. Mark 1:40-42​

The Touch of His Hand on Mine

There are days so dark that I seek in vain
For the face of my friend divine;
But though darkness hide, He is there to guide
By the touch of His hand on mine.

There are times, when tired of the toilsome road,
That for ways of the world I pine;
But He draws me back to the upward track
By the touch of His hand on mine.

When the way is dim, and I cannot see
Through the mist of His wise design,
How my glad heart yearns and my faith returns
By the touch of His hand on mine.

In the last sad hour, as I stand alone,
Where the powers of death combine,
While the dark waves roll He will guide my soul
By the touch of His hand on mine.

Oh, the touch of His hand on mine,
Oh, the touch of His hand on mine,
There is grace and power, in the trying hour,
In the touch of His hand on mine.

Cast your burden on the LORD, and He shall sustain you.
Psalm 55:22
Casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.
1 Peter 5:7

Does Jesus Care?

Does Jesus care when my heart is pained
Too deeply for mirth or song,
As the burdens press, and the cares distress
And the way grows weary and long?
Oh yes, He cares, I know He cares,
His heart is touched with my grief;
When the days are weary, the long nights dreary,
I know my Savior cares.

Always Enough

Always enough of grace is giv’n to me from day to day,
Always enough of grace to help me on the upward way.

Always enough of comfort to console me when I’m sad,
Always enough of peace in time of storm to make me glad.

Always enough of Jesus’ love to fill me with delight,
Always enough of hope to keep faith’s altar burning bright.

Always enough of joy to make my heart rejoice and sing,
Always enough of pleasure in the service of my King.

Always enough for me,
This is my song, the whole day long,
There’s always enough for me.

For the Son of Man will come in the glory of His Father with His angels,
and then He will reward each according to his works.
Matthew 16:27

The Last Mile of the Way

If I walk in the pathway of duty,
If I work till the close of the day;
I shall see the great King in His beauty,
When I’ve gone the last mile of the way.
When I’ve gone the last mile of the way,
I will rest at the close of the day,
And I know there are joys that await me,
When I’ve gone the last mile of the way.

Moreover the law entered that the offense might abound. But where sin abounded, grace abounded much more, so that as sin reigned in death, even so grace might reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Romans 5:20-21​

Show Us Thy Grace

Show Us Thy Grace!
Show us our need, O Lord; how lost, how hopeless,
How poor, how sunk in sin our carnal hearts;
Show us how vain to change our sad condition,
Our best endeavor and our utmost arts;
Show us how weak we are, and how dependent,
How multiplied defeats our pride abase;
And then — O Lord, lest we despair too wholly —
Show us Thy grace!
Show us Thy grace, the great, the all-sufficient,
Infinite riches for our poverty,
Mercy of God for uttermost salvation,
Weapon that turns defeat to victory;
Gladness unspeakable and full of glory,
Beyond our needs, a vast unmeasured space.
Lord, as we never yet have seen or known it,
Show us Thy grace!

Whoever believes will not act hastily.
Isaiah 28:16
The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delights in his way.
Psalm 37:23

He That Believeth

He that believeth shall not make haste
In useless hurry his strength to waste;
Who walks with God can afford to wait,
For he can never arrive too late.
He that believeth shall walk serene,
With ordered steppings and leisured mien,
He dwells in the midst of eternities,
And the timeless ages of God are his.
