The City of Our God

Author: George W. Bethune

1 O city of the jasper wall,

And of the pearly gate,

For thee amid the storms of life,

Our weary spirits wait,

O may we walk the streets of gold,

No mortal feet have trod;

O may we worship at the shrine,

The temple of our God.

Refrain:

O land of bliss!

O land of light!

O city of the jasper wall!

O land forever bright!

2 O city where they need no light

Of sun, or moon, or star,

Could we with eye of faith but see

How bright thy mansions are,

How soon our doubts would flee away,

How strong our trust would grow,

Until our hearts should trust no more

The treasure here below. 

3 O city where the shining gates

Shut out all grief and sin,

Well may we yearn amid earth’s strife,

Thy holy peace to win,—

Yet will we meekly bear the cross,

Nor seek to lay it down,

Until our Father calls us home,

And gives the promised crown. 

Jesus' Name

Original Spanish Title: De Mi Amante Salvador

Set to the tune of "On the happy golden shore" (Meet me there)

1. Oh my soul will ever sing

of my loving Savior, King

I will glory in His grace, praise His name!

I was blind, but now I see

I was chained, but now I’m free

I’ve been given a new life in His name!

Chorus:

Jesus’ name! Jesus’ name!

Oh how precious is the sound of Jesus’ name!

With His blood He cleansed my sin

Now I’m filled with joy within

I’ve been given a new life in His name!

2. Oh how sad the wretchedness of my heart of wickedness Until Christ redeemed my soul, praise His name He all my sins forgave From destruction, I am saved And my rugged path he paved, praise His name!

3. In this world I used to roam

On my own without a home

I was wandering away from The Lord

All my tears from yesterday

they are past, but now today

I'm experiencing the joy of the Lord

4. See what Christ has brought me through From the false to what is true From the vile to what is pure, Praise His name

He to me salvation brings

There is healing in his wings

Unto Him I'll ever sing, Praise His name

Peace in midst of the tempest

This is an alternate version of Kirk Allen's "Peace In The Midst Of A Storm"

This version is based on the Spanish translation

1. When you're crying from all the times you've tried,

And you're trying to forget the tears you've cried.

You've seen so much pain and sorrow,

You don't know about tomorrow.

You can have peace in midst of the tempest.

Chorus:

You can have peace in midst of the tempest.

You can have hope when you can't go on anymore.

Even if your world shatters around you

You can trust God to guide you

You can have peace in midst of the tempest.

2. Sometimes I feel like I know you feel.

When my heart reaches out for something that I know is real.

Then God's love comes to me and helps my mind to be

At peace in the midst of a storm.

Chorus:

You can have peace in midst of the tempest.

You can have hope when you can't go on anymore.

There's love to be found

When the whole world's tumbling down.

You can have peace in midst of the tempest.

Jesus Has Time

Song by Tom Fettke

People were standing 

in line to meet Jesus

waiting with little ones 

the savior to bless

Some said the Lord 

had no time for the children

He is too busy today

"Let them come, let them come

Let the children come to me

I have time, I have time"

Said the Savior tenderly

"Let them come, let them come

Please don't send them away

I have time, let them come, 

let them stay"

I Hear My Risen Savior Say

Song by George D. Watson

1. I hear my risen Savior say:

“Follow me, follow me, follow me”;

His voice is calling all the day,

“Follow me, follow me, follow me;

For thee I trod the bitter way,

For thee I gave my life away,

And drank the gall thy debt to pay,

Follow me, follow me, follow me.”

2. “I know thy life of guilt and pain;

Follow me, follow me, follow me!

I know each ache of heart and brain;

Follow me, follow me, follow me!

How often I have called in vain,

And offered pardon in my name,

And now I plead yet once again!

Follow me, follow me, follow me!”

3. “Though thou hast sinned I’ll pardon thee;

Follow me, follow me, follow me!

From every sin I’ll set thee free;

Follow me, follow me, follow me!

In all thy changing life I’ll be

Thy God, thy guide on land and sea,

Thy bliss through all eternity,

Follow me, follow me, follow me!”

4. “Come, cast on Me thine every care;

Follow me, follow me, follow me!

Thy heavy load I will upbear;

Follow me, follow me, follow me!

Come, look to Me—dismiss thy fears;

And trust Me through eternal years;

My hand shall wipe away thy tears;

Follow me, follow me, follow me!”

5. Dear Lord, I yield to Thee my will;

I’ll follow Thee, follow Thee, follow Thee!

Oh, bid my struggling soul be still;

I’ll follow Thee, follow Thee, follow Thee!

Lord, cleanse me, with Thy Spirit fill,

And keep me safe from every ill;

And all Thy Word in me fulfill;

I’ll follow Thee, follow Thee, follow Thee!

In Triumph Come Oh Lord

This version of the battle hymn of the republic is based on the Portuguese version

Behold now shines the glory 

of the everlasting King

and the kingdoms of this world 

will see the law they now have spurned

All the signs are now foretelling 

of Christ's glorious return

In Triumph Come Oh Lord

Glory, glory, hallelujah!

Glory, glory, hallelujah!

Glory, glory, hallelujah!

In Triumph Come Oh Lord

Hear the trumpet sounding now, 

It calls us now into the fight

Christ stands up for us, His people, 

Granting us the victory

The enemy must call retreat, 

he lost on Calvary

In Triumph Come Oh Lord

Glory, glory, hallelujah!

Glory, glory, hallelujah!

Glory, glory, hallelujah!

In Triumph Come Oh Lord

And finally before His throne

All the nations shall be judged

Whether they be great or small

They'll see the justice of the King

And all of us who are redeemed 

Will praise and shout and sing

“In Triumph Come Oh Lord”

Glory, glory, hallelujah!

Glory, glory, hallelujah!

Glory, glory, hallelujah!

In Triumph Come Oh Lord

Glory, glory, hallelujah!

Glory, glory, hallelujah!

Glory, glory, hallelujah!

In Triumph Come Oh Lord

The Best Place In The World

Original Portuguese title: O Melhor Lugar do Mundo

Author: Eli Soares

There's plenty of beauty around in this world

Astonishing places for mankind to see

So many miraculous wonders of nature

Where any human being would love to be

But out of all these lovely places

There one resembling paradise

Is where a sinner kneels down to pray

At the feet of Jesus Christ

For the best place in the world 

Is at the feet of Jesus Christ

There is healing in His presence

He's the way the truth the light

In His grace I find the true source

Of an every lasting life

For the best place in the world 

Is at the feet of Jesus Christ

We dream of success, we crave for more comfort

We long for a life of ease and delight

But all we may own is empty and senseless

If anything but Christ is in control of our lives

When I feel God's endless power

When His peace reigns in my soul

I will be glad no matter where I may be

Because I am at the best place in the world

For the best place in the world 

Is at the feet of Jesus Christ

There is healing in His presence

He's the way the truth the light

In His grace I find the true source

Of an every lasting life

For the best place in the world 

Is at the feet of Jesus Christ

There is no better place in this world

That at the feet of Jesus Christ

In His grace I find the true source

Of an every lasting life

For the best place in the world 

Is at the feet of Jesus Christ

There Is A Pathway

Original title: Hay Una Senda

Author: Tomás Estrada

There is a pathway that this world is ignoring,

There is a pathway that I could find at last!

I've found in Jesus salvation and redemtion,

Christ is the pathway, and He'll my steps shall guide!

I've found in Jesus salvation and redemtion,

Christ is the pathway, and He'll my steps shall guide!

Also my kindred and all my friends were mocking,

because I changed my way to live my life.

They were detesting my fellowship with Jesus,

when they found out that I gave myself to Christ.

They were detesting my fellowship with Jesus,

when they found out that I gave myself to Christ.

As I was walking that pathway with a hardship,

it was the pathway that leads to heaven's gate.

I'll be transformed in the twinkling of an eye,

then I shall live forever with my God!

I'll be transformed in the twinkling of an eye,

then I shall live forever with my God!

I Have Need Of The Lord

Original title: Necesito Al Señor

Song by: Omhed Gutierrez Gonzalez

I have need of the Lord

In my everyday life

I must never forget

He is here by my side

I have need from above

His wonderful love

and I need to believe

He'll carry me through

I have need of the Lord

every day when I rise

In The Lord I abide

in Him I safely hide

 

I have need from above

His wonderful love

and I need to believe

He'll carry me through

I have need of the Lord

and I need to believe

that He is here with me

to help me when I feel

my faith fading away

His voice I shall hear

He will make plain to me

the things I need to see

Oh His wonderful great love

dispels all unbelief

though I may be in grief

in great sorrow or pain

I'll triumph in the end

For close by my side

the Lord here abides

and He saves my soul

I have need of the Lord

for He saves my soul

I have need of the Lord

and I need to believe

that He is here with me

to help me when I feel

my faith fading away

His voice I shall hear

He will make plain to me

the things I need to see

Oh His wonderful great love

dispels all unbelief

though I may be in grief

in great sorrow or pain

I'll triumph in the end

For close by my side

the Lord here abides

and He saves my soul

I have need of the Lord

for He saves my soul

O Lord, divine companion

Original title: Divino compañero del camino

Song by Antonio Rivera

O Lord, divine companion on this journey

Your presence warms my heart along the way

Jesus you have scattered every shadow

I walk in light, Your light divine, light of Your love

Stay with me, O Lord, for it is evening

The day is almost done, abide with me

Savior of my soul, my heart I offer

Make it Your home

Make it Your home eternally

The shadows of the night close in around me

The darkness speaks to me, I feel its power

Leave me not, I pray, come close beside me

My only hope till journey's end

Lord, be my guide

Stay with me, O Lord, for it is evening

The day is almost done, abide with me

Savior of my soul, my heart I offer

Make it Your home

Make it Your home eternally
