Have you heard the message?

1

Have you heard the wondrous message

of the coming of the Lord?

He will call the faithful to the other shore.

If you’ve made the preparation,

when the midnight trumpet sounds

He will take you to His home forevermore.

Refrain:

He’s coming! He’s coming! Behold!

The glorious event long foretold.

Pearly gates will open wide

for the saved and glorified,

Who will find a beauteous Eden now restored.

In triumphant song uniting

with the happy angel throng

They shall dwell forever with the Lord.

2

We will ascend to the heaven with the angels of the light,

and the loved ones, they will join us in the air.

we won't be never asunder, in that city that's so bright

because we'll abide with Jesus everyday.

3

Then we'll visit to those worlds where the sin they never knew,

and we'll talk about Christ Jesus and His might.

Who came looking for us sinners just to give us ageless life,

and we'll see the years passing byand by.

4

Then we'll see the ages passing without counting every year,

in eternal youth we'll live forever more.

We'll abide with Jesus ever with no sorrow, with no fear,

and we'll be under the shadow of the Lord.

There is A Place I Love To Be

1 There is a place I love to be,

Down low at my Redeemer’s feet,

To linger there is joy to me,

Down low at my Redeemer’s feet.

Refrain:

Down low at my Redeemer’s feet,

I sweetly rest, and I am blest;

My peace is perfect and complete,

Down low at my Redeemer’s feet.

2 The world cannot disturb my peace;

Down low at my Redeemer’s feet,

And love doeth more and more increase

Down low at my Redeemer’s feet. [Refrain]

3 I cannot have a doubt nor fear;

Down low at my Redeemer’s feet,

For all is sunshine, love and cheer,

Down low at my Redeemer’s feet. [Refrain]

4 Here will I linger day by day;

Down low at my Redeemer’s feet,

Here will I feast my soul alway,

Down low at my Redeemer’s feet. [Refrain]

There’s an Eye that’s watching o’er me

1. There’s an Eye that’s watching o’er me

In the shadow, in the light

Ev’ry step that lies before me

Plann’d by His all perfect sight

Up the sunny hills of gladness

Thro the valley, lone and dim

Well I know in joy and sadness

All my paths shall lead to Him

Chorus

There’s an eye that’s watching o’er me

There’s a Friend that plans my way

T’ward the shining goal before me

He will lead me day by day

2. There’s a Hand whose gentle pressure

Tells me that my Friend is near

He will hallow grief and pleasure

He will save me from all fear

Surely His hand will uphold me

Wounded, bleeding once for me

Safely will His arms enfold me

Till I reach the crystal sea

3. There’s a Heart for sinners broken

In that broken heart I hide

Since His word hath comfort spoken

Since He drew me to His side

O with love that heart is beating

Fill’d with tenderness divine

Grace and truth in Him are meeting

I am His and He is mine

Hasten on, day eternal!

1. I am waiting for the morning

Of the day that brings release,

Waiting for the golden dawning

Of God's everlasting peace.

Chorus:

Hasten on, day eternal!

Bid the night of sorrow cease;

Usher in love supernal, 

Bring the golden (golden dawn) 

Dawn of peace (golden dawn of peace)

2. O'er the hilltops brightly breaking,

Sun of Righteousness arise,

Ev'ry soul from slumber waking

As God's glory gilds the skies. [Chorus]

3. Endless joy for hours of crying,

Everlasting peace for care;

Immortality for dying,

Hallelujahs glad, for prayer! [Chorus]

There Is Rest For The Weary

1. In the Christian's home in glory

There remains a land of rest;

And my Savior's gone before me

To fulfill my soul's request.

Refrain:

There is rest for the weary,

There is rest for the weary,

There is rest for the weary,

There is rest for you.

On the other side of Jordan,

In the sweet fields of Eden,

Where the tree of life is blooming,

There is rest for you.

2 He is fitting up my mansion,

Which eternally shall stand,

For my stay shall not be transient

In that holy, happy land. [Refrain]

3 Sing, O sing ye heirs of glory!

Shout your triumph as you go!

Zion's gates will open for you,

You shall find an entrance through. [Refrain]

O the way is long and weary

1. O the way is long and weary,

And our bleeding feet are sore;

Is it far to Canaan’s land?

Is it far to Canaan’s land?

In the desert we are longing

For its shelter more and more

Is it far, is it far to Canaan’s land?

Refrain

We are weary, we are weary

Sadly wand’ring thro’ the wilderness,

And o’er the desert sand;

We are weary, oh so weary,

Is it far, is it far to Canaan’s land?

2. Thro’ the wilderness we’re foll’wing

Where the stronger ones have led;

Is it far to Canaan’s land?

Is it far to Canaan’s land?

Where the sand is often burning,

And the ground our only bed.

Is it far, is it far to Canaan’s land? [Refrain]

3. O how sweet would be a resting place,

A safe and quiet home;

Is it far to Canaan’s land?

Is it far to Canaan’s land?

Where the cruel days of bondage

And of fear will never come,

Is it far, is it far to Canaan’s land? [Refrain]

Keep Looking Up

Life has its joys and sorrows, too,

Sometimes the mists will hide our view;

If we would hope and strength renew,

There’s just one thing to do:

Refrain:

Keep looking up, thy God is still the same today,

Keep looking up, He will not fail thee, come what may;

Keep looking up, the darkest cloud will roll away,

So do not doubt, but keep looking up!

When darkened clouds have filled your sky,

And faithless friends have passed you by;

When prone to doubt or reason why,

There’s just one thing to do:

So when your faith is sorely tried,

And earnest prayers have been denied;

Whenever you need a faithful guide,

There’s just one thing to do:

— Virgil P. Brock

I hear my blessed Saviour say

1 I hear my blessed Saviour 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 “Tho’ thou hast sinn’d, I’ll pardon thee,

Follow me, follow me, follow me;

From ev’ry 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 thro’ all eternity,

Follow me, follow me, follow me.”

3 “Bring unto me thy many cares,

Follow me, follow me, follow me;

Thy heavy load my arm upbears,

Follow me, follow me, follow me;

Lean on my breast, dismiss thy fears,

And trust me thro’ thy future years,

My hand shall wipe away all tears,

Follow me, follow me, follow me.”

Hear the blessed Savior calling the oppressed

1 Hear the blessed Savior calling the oppressed,

“O ye heavy-laden, come to Me and rest;

Come, no longer tarry, I your load will bear,

Bring Me every burden, bring Me ev'ry care.”

Chorus:

Come unto Me; I will give you rest;

Take My yoke upon you, hear Me and be blest;

I am meek and lowly, come and trust My might;

Come, My yoke is easy, and My burden’s light.

2 Are you disappointed, wand’ring here and there,

Dragging chains of doubt and loaded down with care?

Do unholy feelings struggle in your breast?

Bring your case to Jesus, He will give you rest. 

3 Stumbling on the mountains dark with sin and shame,

Stumbling toward the pit of hell’s consuming flame;

By the pow’rs of sin deluded and oppressed,

Hear the tender Shepherd, “Come to Me and rest.” 

4. Have you cares of business, cares of pressing debt, 

Cares of social life or cares of hopes unmet, 

Are you by remorse or sense of guilt depressed, 

Come right on to Jesus, he will give you rest.

5 Have you by temptation often conquered been,

Has a sense of weakness brought distress within?

Christ will sanctify you, if you’ll claim His best,

In the Holy Spirit He will give you rest.
