THE OLD RUGGED CROSS
On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross,
The emblem of suffering and shame,
And I love that old cross where the dearest and best
For a world of lost sinners was slain
Chorus
So I cherish the old rugged cross,
Till my trophies at last I lay down;
I will cling to the old rugged cross,
And exchange it someday for a crown
Oh, that old rugged cross, so despise by the world
Has a wondrous attraction for me;
For the dear lamb of God left his glory above
To pardon and sanctify me

The King's Business - Hymnal Lyrics
THE KING'S BUSINESS
I'am a stranger here within the foreign land
My home is far away up on a golden strand
Ambassador to be of realms beyond the sea
I am here on business for my king
Chorus
This is the message that I bring,
A message angels fain would sing "Oh be ye reconciled to God"
Thus saith my Lord and King, "Oh be ye reconciled to God"
This is the king's command: that all men, everywhere,
Repent and turn away from sins seductive share;
That all who will obey, with Him shall reign for aye,
And that's my business for my King,
My home is brighter far than sharon's rosy plain,
Eternal life and joy throughout its vast domain,
My sovereign bids me tell how mortals there may dwell,
And that's my business for my King
I'am a stranger here within the foreign land
My home is far away up on a golden strand
Ambassador to be of realms beyond the sea
I am here on business for my king
Chorus
This is the message that I bring,
A message angels fain would sing "Oh be ye reconciled to God"
Thus saith my Lord and King, "Oh be ye reconciled to God"
This is the king's command: that all men, everywhere,
Repent and turn away from sins seductive share;
That all who will obey, with Him shall reign for aye,
And that's my business for my King,
My home is brighter far than sharon's rosy plain,
Eternal life and joy throughout its vast domain,
My sovereign bids me tell how mortals there may dwell,
And that's my business for my King

Trust And Obey - Hymnal Lyrics
TRUST AND OBEY
When we walk with the Lord in the light of His word
What a glory He sheds on our way
While we do His goodwill, He abides with us still
And with all who will trust and obey
Chorus
Trust and obey for there's no other way
Tobe happy in Jesus
But to trust and obey
Not a shadow can rise not, not a sorrow we share
But His smile quickly drives it away
Not a doubt or a fear, not a sigh nor a tear
Can abide while we trust and obey
Not a burden we bear, not a sorrow we share
But our toil He doth richly repay
Not a grief nor a loss, not a frown or a cross
But is blest if we trust and obey
When we walk with the Lord in the light of His word
What a glory He sheds on our way
While we do His goodwill, He abides with us still
And with all who will trust and obey
Chorus
Trust and obey for there's no other way
Tobe happy in Jesus
But to trust and obey
Not a shadow can rise not, not a sorrow we share
But His smile quickly drives it away
Not a doubt or a fear, not a sigh nor a tear
Can abide while we trust and obey
Not a burden we bear, not a sorrow we share
But our toil He doth richly repay
Not a grief nor a loss, not a frown or a cross
But is blest if we trust and obey
To The Work - Hymnal Lyrics
TO THE WORK
To the work, to the work, we are servants of God
Let us follow the path that our Master has trod
With the balm of His counsel our strength to renew
Let us do with our might what our hands find to do
Chorus
Toiling on, toiling on
Toiling on, toiling on
Let us hope, let us watch
And labor till the Master comes
To the work, to the work, let the hungry be fed
To the fountain of life let the weary be led
In the cross and its banner our glory shall be
While we herald the tidings, salvation is free
To the work, to the work, there is labor for all
For the kingdom of darkness and error shall fall
And the name of Jehovah exalted shall be
In the loud swelling chorus, Salvation is free
To the work, to the work, we are servants of God
Let us follow the path that our Master has trod
With the balm of His counsel our strength to renew
Let us do with our might what our hands find to do
Chorus
Toiling on, toiling on
Toiling on, toiling on
Let us hope, let us watch

While we herald the tidings, salvation is free
To the work, to the work, there is labor for all
For the kingdom of darkness and error shall fall
And the name of Jehovah exalted shall be
In the loud swelling chorus, Salvation is free
To God Be The Glory - Hymnal Lyrics
TO GOD BE THE GLORY
To God be the glory great things He hath done
So loved He the world that He gave us His Son
Who yielded His life an atonement for sin
And opened the lifegate that all may go in
Chorus
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, let the earth hear His voice
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, let the people rejoice
O come to the Father thro' Jesus the son
And give Him the glory great things He hath done
O perfect redemption, the purchase of blood
To ev'ry believer the promise of God
The vilest offender who truly believes
That moment from Jesus a pardon receives
Great things He hath taught us, great things He hath done
And great our rejoicing thro' Jesus the Son
But purer and higher, and greater will be
Our wonder, our tranport, when Jesus we see
To God be the glory great things He hath done
So loved He the world that He gave us His Son
Who yielded His life an atonement for sin
And opened the lifegate that all may go in
Chorus
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, let the earth hear His voice
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, let the people rejoice
O come to the Father thro' Jesus the son
And give Him the glory great things He hath done
O perfect redemption, the purchase of blood
To ev'ry believer the promise of God
The vilest offender who truly believes
That moment from Jesus a pardon receives
Great things He hath taught us, great things He hath done
And great our rejoicing thro' Jesus the Son
But purer and higher, and greater will be
Our wonder, our tranport, when Jesus we see
The Solid Rock - Hymnal Lyrics
THE SOLID ROCK
My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus blood and righteousness
I dare not trust the sweetest frame
But wholly lean on Jesus name
Chorus
On Christ, the solid rock, I stand
All other ground is sinking sand
All other ground is singking sand
When darkness seems to hide His face
I rest on His unchanging grace
In every high and stormy gale
My anchor holds within the vale
His oath, His covenant, His blood
Support me in the whelming flood
When all around my soul gives way
He then is all my hope and stay.
My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus blood and righteousness
I dare not trust the sweetest frame
But wholly lean on Jesus name
Chorus
On Christ, the solid rock, I stand
All other ground is sinking sand
All other ground is singking sand
When darkness seems to hide His face
I rest on His unchanging grace
In every high and stormy gale
My anchor holds within the vale
His oath, His covenant, His blood
Support me in the whelming flood
When all around my soul gives way
He then is all my hope and stay.
The Mercies Of God - Hymnal Lyrics
THE MERCIES OF GOD
The mercies of God What a theme for my song
Oh I never could number them o'er
They're more than the stars in the heavenly dome
Or the sands of the wavebeaten shore
Chorus
For mercies so great, What return can I make
For mercies so constant and sure
I'll love him, I'll serve Him with all that I have
As long as my life shall endure
They greet me at morn when I waken from sleep
And they gladden my heart at the noon
They follow me on into shades of the night
when the day with its labor is done
His angels of mercy encompass me round
Wheresoever my pathway my lead
Each turn of the road some new token reveals
Oh For me life is blessed indee
The mercies of God What a theme for my song
Oh I never could number them o'er
They're more than the stars in the heavenly dome
Or the sands of the wavebeaten shore
Chorus
For mercies so great, What return can I make
For mercies so constant and sure
I'll love him, I'll serve Him with all that I have
As long as my life shall endure
They greet me at morn when I waken from sleep
And they gladden my heart at the noon
They follow me on into shades of the night
when the day with its labor is done
His angels of mercy encompass me round
Wheresoever my pathway my lead
Each turn of the road some new token reveals
Oh For me life is blessed indee
The Banner Of The Cross - Hymnal Lyrics
THE BANNER OF THE CROSS
There's royal banner given for display
To the soldiers of the king
As an ensign fair we lift it up today
While as ransomed ones we sing
Chorus
Marching on, marching on
For Christ count everything but loss
And to crown Him King, toil and sing
'Neath the banner of the cross
Through the foe my rage and gather as the flood
Let the standard be displayed
And beneath its folds, as soldiers of the Lord
For the truth be not dismayed
Over land and sea, wherever man may dwell
Make the glorious tiding known
Of the crimson banner now the story tell
While the Lord shall claim His own
There's royal banner given for display
To the soldiers of the king
As an ensign fair we lift it up today
While as ransomed ones we sing
Chorus
Marching on, marching on
For Christ count everything but loss
And to crown Him King, toil and sing
'Neath the banner of the cross
Through the foe my rage and gather as the flood
Let the standard be displayed
And beneath its folds, as soldiers of the Lord
For the truth be not dismayed
Over land and sea, wherever man may dwell
Make the glorious tiding known
Of the crimson banner now the story tell
While the Lord shall claim His own
What a Friend We Have in Jesus
What a Friend we have in Jesus, all our sins and griefs to bear
What a privilege to carry everything to God in prayer
O what peace we often forfeit, O what needless pain we bear
All because we do not carry everything to God in prayer
Have we trials and temptations? Is there trouble anywhere
We should never be discouraged; take it to the Lord in prayer
Can we find a friend so faithful who will all our sorrows share
Jesus knows our every weakness; take it to the Lord in prayer
Are we weak and heavy laden, cumbered with a load of care
Precious Savior, still our refuge, take it to the Lord in prayer
Do your friends despise, forsake you? Take it to the Lord in prayer
In His arms He’ll take and shield you; you will find a solace there
Blessed Savior, Thou hast promised Thou wilt all our burdens bear
May we ever, Lord, be bringing all to Thee in earnest prayer
Soon in glory bright unclouded there will be no need for prayer
Rapture, praise and endless worship will be our sweet portion there
What a privilege to carry everything to God in prayer
O what peace we often forfeit, O what needless pain we bear
All because we do not carry everything to God in prayer
Have we trials and temptations? Is there trouble anywhere
We should never be discouraged; take it to the Lord in prayer
Can we find a friend so faithful who will all our sorrows share
Jesus knows our every weakness; take it to the Lord in prayer
Are we weak and heavy laden, cumbered with a load of care
Precious Savior, still our refuge, take it to the Lord in prayer
Do your friends despise, forsake you? Take it to the Lord in prayer
In His arms He’ll take and shield you; you will find a solace there
Blessed Savior, Thou hast promised Thou wilt all our burdens bear
May we ever, Lord, be bringing all to Thee in earnest prayer
Soon in glory bright unclouded there will be no need for prayer
Rapture, praise and endless worship will be our sweet portion there

I Love to Tell the Story - Hymnal Lyrics
I love to tell the story of unseen things above
Of Jesus and His glory, of Jesus and His love
I love to tell the story, because I know ’tis true
It satisfies my longings as nothing else can do
I love to tell the story, ’twill be my theme in glory
To tell the old, old story of Jesus and His love
I love to tell the story; more wonderful it seems
Than all the golden fancies of all our golden dreams
I love to tell the story, it did so much for me
And that is just the reason I tell it now to thee
I love to tell the story; ’tis pleasant to repeat
What seems, each time I tell it, more wonderfully sweet
I love to tell the story, for some have never heard
The message of salvation from God’s own holy Word
I love to tell the story, for those who know it best
Seem hungering and thirsting to hear it like the rest
And when, in scenes of glory, I sing the new, new song
’Twill be the old, old story that I have loved so long
Of Jesus and His glory, of Jesus and His love
I love to tell the story, because I know ’tis true
It satisfies my longings as nothing else can do
I love to tell the story, ’twill be my theme in glory
To tell the old, old story of Jesus and His love
I love to tell the story; more wonderful it seems

And when, in scenes of glory, I sing the new, new song
’Twill be the old, old story that I have loved so long
When We All Get To Heaven
Sing the wondrous love of Jesus
Sing His mercy and His grace
In the mansions bright and blessèd
He’ll prepare for us a place
When we all get to Heaven
What a day of rejoicing that will be
When we all see Jesus
We’ll sing and shout the victory
While we walk the pilgrim pathway
Clouds will overspread the sky
But when traveling days are over
Not a shadow, not a sigh
Let us then be true and faithful
Trusting, serving every day
Just one glimpse of Him in glory
Will the toils of life repay
Onward to the prize before us
Soon His beauty we’ll behold
Soon the pearly gates will open
We shall tread the streets of gold
Sing His mercy and His grace
In the mansions bright and blessèd

Since Jesus Came Into My Heart
What a wonderful change in my life has been wrought,
since Jesus came into my heart.
I have light in my soul for which long I had sought,
since Jesus came into my heart.
Chorus:
Since Jesus came into my heart,
since Jesus came into my heart.
Floods of joy o`er my soul.
like the sea billows roll,
since Jesus came into my heart.
I have ceased from my wandering and going astray,
since Jesus came into my heart.
And my sins, which were many, are all washed away,
since Jesus came into my heart.
I`m possessed of a hope that is steadfast and sure,
since Jesus came into my heart.
And no dark clouds of doubt now my pathway obscure,
since Jesus came into my heart.
There`s a light in the valley of death now for me,
since Jesus came into my heart.
And the gates of the City beyond I can see,
since Jesus came into my heart.

Rock of Ages, Cleft for Me - Hymnal Lyrics
Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
let me hide myself in thee;
let the water and the blood,
from thy wounded side which flowed,
be of sin the double cure;
save from wrath and make me pure.
Not the labors of my hands
can fulfill thy law's commands;
could my zeal no respite know,
could my tears forever flow,
all for sin could not atone;
thou must save, and thou alone.
Nothing in my hand I bring,
simply to the cross I cling;
naked, come to thee for dress;
helpless, look to thee for grace;
foul, I to the fountain fly;
wash me, Savior, or I die.
While I draw this fleeting breath,
when mine eyes shall close in death,
when I soar to worlds unknown,
see thee on thy judgment throne,
Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
let me hide myself in thee.
let me hide myself in thee;
let the water and the blood,
from thy wounded side which flowed,
be of sin the double cure;
save from wrath and make me pure.
Not the labors of my hands
can fulfill thy law's commands;
could my zeal no respite know,
could my tears forever flow,
all for sin could not atone;
thou must save, and thou alone.
Nothing in my hand I bring,
simply to the cross I cling;
naked, come to thee for dress;
helpless, look to thee for grace;
foul, I to the fountain fly;
wash me, Savior, or I die.
While I draw this fleeting breath,
when mine eyes shall close in death,
when I soar to worlds unknown,
see thee on thy judgment throne,
Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
let me hide myself in thee.
Our Best - Hymnal Lrics
Hear ye the Master’s call, “Give Me thy best
For, be it great or small, that is His test
Do then the best you can, not for reward
Not for the praise of men, but for the Lord
Every work for Jesus will be blest
But He asks from everyone his best
Our talents may be few, these may be small
But unto Him is due our best, our all
Wait not for men to laud, heed not their slight
Winning the smile of God brings its delight
Aiding the good and true ne’er goes unblest
All that we think or do, be it the best
Night soon comes on apace, day hastens by
Workman and work must face testing on high
Oh, may we in that day find rest, sweet rest
Which God has promised those who do their best
For, be it great or small, that is His test
Do then the best you can, not for reward
Not for the praise of men, but for the Lord
Every work for Jesus will be blest
But He asks from everyone his best
Our talents may be few, these may be small
But unto Him is due our best, our all
Wait not for men to laud, heed not their slight
Winning the smile of God brings its delight
Aiding the good and true ne’er goes unblest
All that we think or do, be it the best
Night soon comes on apace, day hastens by
Workman and work must face testing on high
Oh, may we in that day find rest, sweet rest
Which God has promised those who do their best
O Worship the King - Hymnal Lyrics
O worship the King, all glorious above
O gratefully sing God's power and God's love
our Shield and Defender, the Ancient of Days
pavilioned in splendor, and girded with praise
O tell of God's might, O sing of God's grace
whose robe is the light, whose canopy space
whose chariots of wrath the deep thunderclouds form
and dark is God's path on the wings of the storm
The earth with its store of wonders untold
Almighty, thy power hath founded of old
hath stablished it fast by a changeless decree
and round it hath cast, like a mantle, the sea
Thy bountiful care, what tongue can recite
It breathes in the air, it shines in the light
it streams from the hills, it descends to the plain
and sweetly distills in the dew and the rain
Frail children of dust, and feeble as frail
in thee do we trust, nor find thee to fail
thy mercies how tender, how firm to the end
our Maker, Defender, Redeemer, and Friend
O gratefully sing God's power and God's love
our Shield and Defender, the Ancient of Days
pavilioned in splendor, and girded with praise
O tell of God's might, O sing of God's grace
whose robe is the light, whose canopy space
whose chariots of wrath the deep thunderclouds form
and dark is God's path on the wings of the storm
The earth with its store of wonders untold
Almighty, thy power hath founded of old
hath stablished it fast by a changeless decree
and round it hath cast, like a mantle, the sea
Thy bountiful care, what tongue can recite
It breathes in the air, it shines in the light
it streams from the hills, it descends to the plain
and sweetly distills in the dew and the rain
Frail children of dust, and feeble as frail
in thee do we trust, nor find thee to fail
thy mercies how tender, how firm to the end
our Maker, Defender, Redeemer, and Friend
Love Lifted Me Hymnal Lyrics
I was sinking deep in sin, far from the peaceful shore
Very deeply stained within, sinking to rise no more
But the Master of the sea, heard my despairing cry
From the waters lifted me, now safe am I
Love lifted me! Love lifted me
When nothing else could help
Love lifted me!
All my heart to Him I give, ever to Him I’ll cling
In His blessèd presence live, ever His praises sing
Love so mighty and so true, merits my soul’s best songs
Faithful, loving service too, to Him belongs
Souls in danger look above, Jesus completely saves
He will lift you by His love, out of the angry waves
He’s the Master of the sea, billows His will obey
He your Savior wants to be, be saved today
Very deeply stained within, sinking to rise no more
But the Master of the sea, heard my despairing cry
From the waters lifted me, now safe am I
Love lifted me! Love lifted me
When nothing else could help
Love lifted me!
All my heart to Him I give, ever to Him I’ll cling
In His blessèd presence live, ever His praises sing
Love so mighty and so true, merits my soul’s best songs
Faithful, loving service too, to Him belongs
Souls in danger look above, Jesus completely saves
He will lift you by His love, out of the angry waves
He’s the Master of the sea, billows His will obey
He your Savior wants to be, be saved today
