Just When I Need Him Most

Just when I need Him, Jesus is near,
Just when I falter, just when I fear;
Ready to help me, ready to cheer,
Just when I need Him most.

Just when I need Him, Jesus is true,
Never forsaking all the way through;
Giving for burdens pleasures anew,
Just when I need Him most.

Just when I need Him, Jesus is strong,
Bearing my burdens all the day long;
For all my sorrow giving a song,
Just when I need Him most.

Just when I need Him, He is my all,
Answering when upon Him I call;
Tenderly watching lest I should fall,
Just when I need Him most.

Just when I need Him most,
Yes, just when I need Him most,
Jesus is near to comfort and cheer,
Just when I need Him most.

Colossians 2:6

oly:


Step by Step

’Tis so sweet to walk with Jesus,
Step by step and day by day;
Stepping in His very footprints,
Walking with Him all the way.

’Tis so safe to walk with Jesus,
Leaning hard upon His arm,
Following closely where He leads us,
None can hurt and naught can harm.

Step by step I’ll walk with Jesus,
Just a moment at a time;
Heights I have not wings to soar to
Step by step my feet can climb.

Jesus keep me closer — closer,
Step by step and day by day;
Stepping in Thy very footprints
Walking with Thee all the way.

Step by step, step by step,
I would walk with Jesus,
All the day, all the way,
Keeping step with Jesus.

How doth the record before Him appear,
Art thou His precepts pursuing?

Never forget the good Shepherd is near,
Faithfully leading and guiding,
Turn not away, lest His voice thou shalt hear,
Tenderly pleading and chiding.

Never forget the Redeemer is near,
Nor the dear ransom once given.
If we obey, love, and honor Him here,
We shall dwell with Him in Heaven.

Never forget, never forget,
Jesus is near, O receive Him.
He will come in, cleanse from all sin;
Cheerfully trust and believe Him.

Because you have made the LORD, who is my refuge, even the Most High, your dwelling place,
No evil shall befall you, nor shall any plague come near your dwelling.
Psalm 91:9-10

​

oly:


Because Thy Trust is God Alone

Because thy trust is God alone,
Thy refuge is the Highest One;
No evil shall upon thee come,
Nor plague approach thy guarded home.
Angelic guards at His commands
Will bear thee safely in their hands,
Will keep thee, lest, if left alone,
Thou dash thy foot against a stone.

Though fierce and treacherous foes assail,
Their power and wrath shall not prevail;
Their cruel strength, their venomed spite,
Thou shalt o’ercome with conquering might.
Because on Me he set his love,
I will his constant Savior prove,
And since to him My name is known,
I will exalt him as Mine own.

As oft as he shall call me on Me,
Most gracious shall My answer be;
I will be with him in distress,
And in his trouble I will bless.
Complete deliverance I will give,
And honor him while he shall live;
Abundant life I will bestow,
To him My full salvation show.

Work is Sweet, For God Has Blest

Work is sweet, for God has blest
Honest work with quiet rest,
Rest below and rest above
In the mansions of His love,
When the work of life is done,
When the battle’s fought and won.

Work ye, then, while yet ’tis day,
Work ye Christians, while ye may,
Work for all that’s great and good,
Working for your daily food.
Working whilst the golden hours,
Health, and strength, and youth are yours.

Working not alone for gold,
Not the work that’s bought and sold,
Not the work that works strife,
But the working of a life
Careless both of good or ill,
If ye can but do His will.

Working ere the day is gone,
Working till your work is done,
Not as merchants at marts,
But as fits honest hearts,
Working till your spirits rest
With the spirits of the blest.

Present yourself to God as…a workman.
2 Timothy 2:15

​

oly:


Workman of God

Workman of God! O lose not heart,
But learn what God is like;
And in the darkest battlefield
Thou shalt know where to strike.

Thrice blest is he to whom is giv’n
The instinct that can tell
That God is on the field, when He
Is most invisible.

Blest too is he who can divine
Where real right doth lie,
And dares to take the side that seems
Wrong to man’s blindfold eye.

Then learn to scorn the praise of men,
And learn to lose with God;
For Jesus won the world through shame,
And beckons thee His road.

For right is right, since God is God,
And right the day must win;
To doubt would be disloyalty,
To falter would be sin.

Sweeter Than Them All

I have made my choice forever
’twixt this world and God's dear Son,
Not can change my mind, no never,
He my heart has fully won.
Just take this world with all its treasure,
Take them, take them one and all,
Give me Christ my precious Savior,
For He's sweeter than them all

When my life's work here is ended,
When I pass death's open door,
When to God I have ascended,
And my feet shall press the shore,
When my eyes have seen the angels,
Seen them, seen them one and all,
Then give me Christ my precious Savior,
For He's sweeter than them all.

He's sweeter than them all,
Yes, He's sweeter than them all,
Just give me Christ my precious Savior,
For He's sweeter, sweeter than them all.

Luke 23:34

Blessed Redeemer

Up Calvary’s mountain, one dreadful morn,
Walked Christ my Savior, weary and worn;
Facing for sinners death on the cross,
That He might save them from endless loss.

“Father forgive them!” thus did He pray,
E’en while His lifeblood flowed fast away;
Praying for sinners while in such woe
No one but Jesus ever loved so.

O how I love Him, Savior and Friend,
How can my praises ever find end!
Through years unnumbered on Heaven’s shore,
My tongue shall praise Him forevermore.

Blessed Redeemer! Precious Redeemer!
Seems now I see Him on Calvary’s tree;
Wounded and bleeding, for sinners pleading,
Blind and unheeding — dying for me!

Joy and Triumph Everlasting

Joy and triumph everlasting
Hath the heav’nly Church on high;
For that pure immortal gladness
All our feast days mourn and sigh:
Yet in death’s dark desert wild
Doth the mother aid her child;
Guards celestial thence attend us,
Stand in combat to defend us.

Here the world’s perpetual warfare
Holds from Heav’n the soul apart;
Legioned foes in shadowy terror
Vex the Sabbath of the heart.
O how happy that estate
Where delight doth not abate!
For that home the spirit yearneth,
Where none languisheth nor mourneth.

There the body hath no torment,
There the mind is free from care,
There is every voice rejoicing,
Every heart is loving there.
Angels in that city dwell;
Them their King delighteth well:
Still they joy and weary never,
More and more desiring ever.

There the seers and fathers holy,
There the prophets glorified,
All their doubts and darkness ended,
In the Light of Light abide.
There the saints, whose memories old
We in faithful hymns uphold,
Have forgot their bitter story
In the joy of Jesus’ glory.

Blessed Are They That Believe

Come to the fountain of mercy and live, come, and a pardon receive;
Drink of the water that Jesus will give, freely to those that believe;
Weary and burdened with sorrow, sweet is the message to thee,
Learn of the meek and the lowly, come, heavy laden to Me.

Happy the nation whose God is the Lord; hearing in meekness and love
Counsels of wisdom and truth in His Word, looking for comfort above;
He is their rock and salvation, He is their strength and their song,
Onward from glory to glory, leading them gently along.

Look unto Jesus, ye regions of earth, victor of death and the grave,
Though He was humble, and lowly His birth He is the mighty to save.
Why should we wander in darkness? Why to the world should we cling?
Hope, like a bird, is before us, pluming her beautiful wing.

Come to the clear flowing river, drink of its waters forever,
Hungry and thirsty, O! never, blessed are they that believe!

Sing to the Lord, the Rock of Our Salvation

Sing to the Lord, the rock of our salvation!
Sing to the Lord a song of joy and praise!
Kneel in His presence, lowly in thanksgiving!
The lofty psalm upraise!

The land and sea are His, for He has made them,
The valleys of the earth, its rugged hills;
Corn-land and vineyards and the olive orchards,
All these His mercy fills.

And we, His people, sheep of His own pasture,
Lambs of His bosom, whom His hand has fed,
Shall we not hearken to our kindly shepherd
By whom our feet are led?

Oh, harden not your hearts, like those who wandered
The desert forty years to Jordan’s strand;
Humble and comforted, O chosen people,
Enter the promised land.

John 3:30

Less of Self and More of Jesus

Less of self and more of Jesus,
Less of man and more of God;
Earnest prayer of many workers
In the vineyard of the Lord.
Less of self and more of Jesus
Girds the soul with holy pow’r,
Brightens life, and sweetens labor,
In the use of every hour.

Less of self and more of Jesus,
Pleads the saint in earnest prayer,
For he labors souls to rescue
From the tempter’s cruel snare.
Self concealed, faith works its wonders,
Trusts the merit of the blood;
Claims for Christ the sinner’s ransom,
Leads the penitent to God.

Less of self and more of Jesus,
As in social life we meet;
May the beauties of salvation
Others lead to Jesus’ feet.
Not in vain exalt we Jesus,
Not in vain hide self away;
Great the joy and sweet the pleasure
Heaven grants us on our way.

Less of self and more of Jesus;
Less of man and more of God;
Earnest prayer of many workers
In the vineyard of the Lord.

With one mind striving together…and not in any way terrified by your adversaries.
Philippians 1:27-28

You therefore must endure hardship as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.
2 Timothy 2:3

​

oly:


We are Soldiers of Christ

We are soldiers of Christ, who is mighty to save,
And His banner the cross is unfurled;
We are pledged to be faithful and steadfast and brave
Against Satan, the flesh, and the world.
We are brothers and comrades, we stand side by side,
And our faith and our hope are the same;
And we think of the cross on which Jesus has died,
When we bear the reproach of His name.

At the font we were marked with the cross on our brow,
Of our grace and our calling the sign;
And the weakest is strong to be true to his vow,
For the armor we wear is divine.
We will watch ready armed if the Tempter draw near,
If he comes with a frown or a smile;
We will heed not his threats, nor his flatteries hear,
Nor be taken by storm or by wile.

We will master the flesh, and its longings restrain,
We will not be the bond slaves of sin,
The pure Spirit of God in our nature shall reign,
And our spirits their freedom shall win.
For the world’s love we live not, its hate we defy,
And we will not be led by the throng;
We’ll be true to ourselves, to our Father on high,
And the bright world to which we belong.

Now let each cheer his comrade, let hearts beat as one,
While we follow where Christ leads the way;
’Twere dishonor to yield, or the battle to shun,
We will fight, and will watch, and will pray.
Though the warfare be weary, the trial be sore,
In the might of our God we will stand;
Oh! what joy to be crowned and be pure evermore,
In the peace of our own fatherland.

Together, Lord, We Come To Thee

Together, Lord, we come to Thee, and in Thy presence bow the head;
A band of hard-pressed folk are we, who find life’s pathway rough to tread.
We bring our daily life to Thee, all soiled, and worn, and marred with sin;
Thine eyes of holy love can see each tempted life without, within.

We bring our bitterness of heart, our hate and want of charity;
We fain would choose the better part, and learn to love, dear Lord, like Thee.
We bring our care for daily bread, the fear that turns the heart to stone;
We cry to Thee; lift up our head and show us we are not alone.

We bring the faith that over all though faint and feeble, flickers still;
Increase it, Lord, that at Thy call we may our daily task fulfill.
Lord, make us pure; enrich our life with heavenly love for evermore;
Give us Thy strength to face the strife, and serve Thee better than before.

And fountains in valleys
On them He’ll bestow.

And walked in His ways;
May His water sustain thee

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?

Does Jesus care when my way is dark
With a nameless dread and fear?
As the daylight fades into deep night shades,
Does He care enough to be near?

Does Jesus care when I’ve tried and failed
To resist some temptation strong;
When for my deep grief there is no relief,
Though my tears flow all the night long?

Does Jesus care when I’ve said goodbye
To the dearest on earth to me,
And my sad heart aches till it nearly breaks,
Is it aught to Him? Does He see?

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.

Come Ye Yourselves Apart

Come ye yourselves apart and rest awhile,
Weary, I know it, of the press and throng;
Wipe from your brow the sweat and dust of toil,
And in My quiet strength again be strong.

Come ye aside from all the world holds dear,
For converse which the world has never known;
Alone with me and with my Father here,
With Me and with my Father not alone.

Come, tell me all that ye have said and done,
Your victories and failures, hopes and fears;
I know how hardly souls are wooed and won;
My choicest crowns are always wet with tears.

Come ye and rest: the journey is too great,
And ye will faint beside the way and sink:
The bread of life is here for you to eat,
And here for you the wine of love to drink.

Then, fresh from converse with your Lord, return
And work till daylight softens into even:
The brief hours are not lost in which ye learn
More of your Master and His rest in heaven.
