SS & S 1Â Praise, my soul, the King of heaven
- Praise, my soul, the King of heaven ;
To His feet thy tribute bring ;
Ransomed, healed, restored, forgiven,
Who like thee His praise shall sing?
Praise Him! praise Him!
Praise the everlasting King!
2. Praise Him for His grace and favour
To our fathers in distress ;
Praise Him, still the same as ever,
Slow to chide, and swift to bless :
Praise Him! praise Him !
Glorious in His faithfulness !
3. Father- like He tends and spares us,
Well our feeble frame He knows ;
In His hands He gently bears us,
Rescues us from all our foes :
Praise Him ! praise Him !
Widely as His mercy flows.
4. Angels, help us to adore Him,
Ye behold Him face to face!
Sun and moon, bow down before
Him!Dwellers all in time and space,
Praise Him ! praise Him!
Praise with us the God of grace!
SS&S 2 A mighty fortress is our God,
- A mighty fortress is our God,
A bulwark never failing :
Our Helper He, amid the flood
Of mortal ills prevailing.
For still our ancient foe
Doth seek to work his woe ;
His craft and power are great,
And armed with cruel hate
On earth is not his equal.
2. Did we in our own strength confide,
Our striving would be losing,
Were not the right Man on our side,
The Man of God’s own choosing.
Dost ask who that may be?
Christ Jesus, it is He!
Lord Sabaoth is His name,
From age to age the same :
And He must win the battle.
3. And though this world, with devils
filled,
Should threaten to undo us:
We will not fear; for God hath willed
His truth to triumph through us.
Let goods and kindred go,
This mortal life also ;
The body they may kill :
God’s truth abideth still,
His Kingdom is forever.
SS & S 3 A safe stronghold our God is still
- A safe stronghold our God is still,
A trusty shield and weapon ;
He’ll help us clear from all the ill
That hath us now o’er taken.
The ancient prince of hell
Hath risen with purpose fell ;
Strong mail of craft and power
He weareth in this hour,
On earth is not his fellow.
2. With force of arms we nothing can,
Full soon were we down-ridden ;
But for us fights the proper Man,
Whom God Himself hath bidden.
Ask ye, Who is this same?
Christ Jesus is His name,
The Lord Sabaoth’s Son ;
He, and no other one,
Shall conquer in the battle.
3. And were this world all devils o’er,
And watching to devour us,
We lay it not to heart so sore ;
Not they can overpower us.
And let the prince of ill
Look grim as e’er he will,
He harms us not a whit :
For why ? His doom is writ ;
A word shall quickly slay him.
4. God’s word, for all their craft and force,
One moment will not linger,
But, spite of hell, shall have its course;
‘Tis written by His finger.
And though they take our life,
Goods, honour, children, wife,
Yet is their profit small ;
These things shall vanish all,
The city of God remaineth.
(S S &S) Sacred Songs and Solos Hymns

Shall guide me all my happy days
In all my ways: He calls a worm His friend!

And endless praise!

And all the earth shall hear.
Saved by grace alone ;
This is all my plea-
Jesus died for all mankind,
And Jesus died for me.Â

In life’s eternal book ;
‘Twas grace that gave me to the Lamb,
Who all my sorrows took.

To tread the heavenly road ;
And new supplies each hour I meet,
While pressing on to God.

And made mine eyes o’erflow ;

And will not let me go.

May all my powers to Thee aspire,
And all my days be Thine.

Our Shield and Defender,
The Ancient of Days,
Pavilioned in splendour,
And girded with praise.

Oh, sing of His grace !
Whose robe is the light,
Whose canopy space ;
His chariots of wrath
The deep thunder-clouds form,
And dark is His path
On the wings of the storm.
3 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.
4 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 distils in
The dew and the rain.

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,

To hymn Thee above,

Though feeble their lays,
With true adoration
Shall sing to Thy praise.

With heart and with voice ;

And round Him rejoice.
Ye children of Zion,
Your Saviour adore!
And learn to rely on
His grace evermore.

Ye sheep of His fold,
What terror can harm
With Him to uphold?

Their peace will He seek,
And pour without measure
His gifts on the meek.

Ye men of the Lord :
His word be your light,
His promise your sword :
The King of Salvation
Your foes will subdue,
Bring forth your oblation,
Your praises renew.
SS & S 13 Though troubles assail,
Though troubles assail,
And dangers affright;
Though friends should all fail,
And foes all unite
Yet one thing secures us,
Whatever betide :
The Scripture assures us,
The Lord will provide.
2 The birds, without barn
Or storehouse, are fed ;
From them let us learn
To trust for our bread :
His saints what is fitting
Shall ne’er be denied,
So long as ’tis written,
The Lord will provide.

Like Abram of old,
Not knowing our way ;
But faith makes us bold :
For though we are strangers,
We have a good Guide ;
And trust in ail dangers:
The Lord will provide.

Or goodness we claim ;
Yet since we have known
The Saviour’s great name,
In this our strong tower
For safety we hide,
AlmightyHis power:
The Lord will provide.’
SS & S 14 Begone, unbelief
Begone, unbelief,
My Saviour is near,
And for my relief
Will surely appear :
By prayer let me wrestle,
And He will perform ;
With Christ in the vessel,
I smile at the storm.
2 Though dark be my way,
Since He is my Guide,
‘Tis mine to obey,
Tis His to provide :
Though cisterns be broken,
And creatures all fail,
The word He hath spoken
Shall surely prevail.
3 His love,in time past,
Forbids me to think
He’ll leave me at last
In trouble to sink :
Each sweet Ebenezer
I have in review
Confirms His good pleasure
To help me quite through.
4 Why should I complain
Of want or distress,
Temptation or pain?
He told me no less;
The heirs of salvation,
I know from His Word,
Through much tribulation
Must follow their Lord.
5 How bitter that cup
No heart can conceive,
Which He drank quite up,
That sinners might live !
His way was much rougher
And darker than mine ;
Did Christ, my Lord, suffer,
And shall I repine?
6 Since all that I meet
Shall work for my good,
The bitter is sweet,
The medicine,food ;
Though painful at present,
‘Twill cease before long,
And then oh, how pleasant
The conqueror’s song !

And ruined by the Fall ;

And cleansing through the Blood.

And to His saints makes known
The blessed rest from inbred sin,
Through faith in Christ alone.

A glorious foretaste, here below,
Of endless life in heaven.

Let all the ransomed sing,
And triumph in the dying hour,
Through Christ the Lord, our King.

With shoutings victorious,
We’ll join in the chorus,

How still we see thee lie !
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
The silent stars go by ;
Yet in thy dark streets shineth
The everlasting Light;
The hopes and fears of all the years
Are met in thee to-night!

And gathered all above,
While mortals sleep, the angels keep
Their watch of wondering love.
O morning stars,together
Proclaim the holy birth,
And praises sing to God the King,
And peace to men on earth !
3 How silently, how silently,
The wondrous gift is given!
So God imparts to human hearts
The blessings of His heaven.
No ear may hear His coming ;
But in this world of sin,
Where meek souls will receive Him, still
The dear Christ enters in.

Chanted by the angel throng;
Every star took up the story :
Christ has come, the Prince of glory.
Come in humble hearts to dwell;
God with us, God with us,
God with us, Immanuel !

Breaks upon the rising mora ;
While the anthem rolls along,
Floods of light the earth adorn ;
Old and young take up the story:

When we praise the Lord our King;
When we meet to praise and pray,
And His love with gladness sing;
Let the world take up the story :

Watching o’er their flocks by night;

Yonder shines the Infant-light :

Brighter visions beam afar !
Seek the great Desire of nations,
Ye have seen His natal star:

Watching long in hope and fear,
Suddenly the Lord, descending,
In His temple shall appear :

SS & S 32 Once in royal David’s city
Once in royal David’s city
Stood a lowly cattle shed,
Where a mother laid her Baby,
In a manger for His bed.
Mary was that mother mild,
Jesus Christ her little Child.
2 He came down to earth from heaven,
Who is God and Lord of all,
And His shelter was a stable,
And His cradle was a stall.
With the poor, and mean, and lowly,
Lived on earth our Saviour holy.
3 And through all His wondrous child-
He would honour and obey, [hood
Love and watch the lowly mother
In whose gentle arms He lay.
Christian children all must be
Mild,obedient, good as He.
4 For He is our childhood’s pattern,
Day by day like us He grew ;
He was little, weak, and helpless,
Tears and smiles like us He knew ;
And He feeleth for our sadness,
And He shareth in our gladness.
5 And our eyes at last shall see Hirn
Through His own redeeming love,
For that Child so dear and gentle
Is our Lord in heaven above ;
And He leads His children on
To the place where He is gone.
6 Not in that poor lowly stable,
With the oxen standing by,
We shall see Him– but in heaven,
Set at God’s right hand on high;
When like stars His children crowned,
All in white shall wait around.
SS & S 33 While shepherds watched their flocks
While shepherds watched their flocks
by night,
All seated on the ground;
The angel of the Lord came down,
And glory shone around.
2 Fear not ! said he for mighty dread
Had seized their troubled mind,
Glad tidings of great joy I bring
To you and all mankind.
3 o you, in David’s town, this day,
Is born of David’s line [Lord;
The Saviour, who is Christ the
And this shall be the sign :
4 he heavenly Babe you there shall find
To human view displayed,
All meanly wrapped in swathing bands,
And in a manger laid.
5 Thus spake the seraph– and forth- [with
Appeared a shining throng
Of angels, praising God, who thus
Addressed their joyful song
6 All glory be to God on high!
And to the earth be peace!
Goodwill henceforth from heaven to men
Begin, and never cease!

SS & S 34 To us a Child of hope is born
To us a Child of hope is born,
To us a Son is given;
Him shall the tribes of earth obey,
Him all the hosts of heaven.
2 His name shall be the Prince of Peace,
Forevermore adored,
The Wonderful, the Counsellor,
The great and mighty Lord !
3 His power, increasing, still shall spread;
His reign no end shall know:
Justice shall guard His throne above,
And peace abound below.
SS & S 35 Thou didst leave Thy throne and Thy
Thou didst leave Thy throne and Thy
kingly crown,
When Thou earnest to earth for me ;
But in Bethlehem’s home was there
found no roomFor Thy holy nativity :
Oh, come to my heart, Lord Jesus !
There is room in my heart for Thee ;
Oh, come to my heart, Lord Jesus, come !
There is room in my heart for Thee.
2 Heaven’s arches rang when the angels sang,
ProclaimingThy royal degree;
But of lowly birth cam’st Thou, Lord, on earth,
And in great humility :
3 The foxes found rest,and the birds
had their nest
In the shade of the forest tree ;
But Thy couch was the sod, O Thou
Son of God,
In the deserts of Galilee :
4 Thou earnest, O Lord, with the living Word
That should set Thy people free ;
But with mocking scorn, and with crown of thorn,
They bore Thee to Calvary:
Oh, come to my heart, Lord Jesus !
Thy cross is my only plea ;
Oh, come to my heart, Lord Jesus,come!
Thy cross is my only plea.
5 When heaven’s arches shall ring, and
her choirs shall sing
At Thy coming to victory ;
Let Thy voice call me home, saying,
Yet there is room,
There is room at My side for thee !
And my heart shall rejoice, Lord Jesus !
When Thou comest and callest for me.

Greater love was never known ;
Yielding up His life for sinners,
Oh, what love to me was shown !
I will praise… my great Redeemer, . . .
As my days … are on the wing ;

I will magnify the Lord my King.

Words of life from lips Divine ;
Full of comfort,joy,and courage,
Precious to this soul of mine.

Grace my heart may now receive;
He by faith will seal my pardon,
If His promise I believe.

Name of all most dear to me ;
By the ransomed host in glory
Shall His name exalted be.

SS & S 37 Sitting by the wayside, sinful
weak,Sitting by the wayside, sinful, weak,
and blind,
Waiting in my darkness for the day,
O Thou Saviour,Jesus, merciful and kind,
Hear me now, and take my sins away !
No one knows my sorrow, no one cares for me–
Waiting in the darkness for the day ;
Hear a sinner pleading, pleading, Lord, with Thee–
Jesus, come and take my sins away!
2 Long in darkness waiting, weary, sad, and lone,
How I long Thy glorious face to see!
O Thou blessed Jesus, make me al!
Thine own ;
Speak the word, and Thou canst set me free !
3 Weary with my blindness, waiting all
the day, [pain ;
Weary with my sorrow and my
O Thou Son of David, pass me not,
I pray :
Leave me not in hopeless night again!

and blind,
Is there any hope for one like me ?
Something seems to whisper in my darkened mind,
Christ has power to set the sinner free
SS & S 38 I am so glad that our Father in
I am so glad that our Father in heaven
Tells of His love in the Book He has given :
Wonderful things in the Bible I see ;
This is the dearest, that Jesus loves me.
I am so glad that Jesus loves me,
Jesus loves me, Jesus loves me,
I am so glad that Jesus loves me,
Jesus loves even me.
2 Though I forget Him, and wander away,
Still He doth love me wherever I stray ;
Back to His dear loving arms do I flee,
When I remember that Jesus loves me.
3 Oh, if there’s only one song I can sing,
When in His beauty I see the great King,
This shall my song in eternity be,
Oh, what a wonder that Jesus loves me!
4 Jesus loves me, and I know I love Him :
Love brought Him down my poor soul to redeem ;
Yes, it was love made Him die on the tree :
Oh, I am certain that Jesus loves me!
5 If one should ask of me, how can I tell?
Glory to Jesus, I know very well!
God’s Holy Spirit with mine doth agree,
Constantly witnessing– Jesus loves me.
6 In this assurance I find sweetest rest,
Trusting in Jesus, I know I am blest;
Satan, dismayed, from my soul now
doth flee,
When I just tell him that Jesus loves me.
SS & S 39 Tell the glad story of Jesus, who
Tell the glad story of Jesus,who
came,
Full of compassion, the lost to reclaim ;

Tell the glad story to suffering man;
Tell it,oh tell it,again !

Many in bondage are sighing for rest;
Tell them in Jesus they all may be blest:
Tell the glad story again !

Urging the lost ones His mercy to prove;
Tell them of mansions preparing above:
Tell the glad story again!

Calleth our loved ones its billows to brave
Tell them that Jesus is mighty to save :
Tell the glad story again !

SS & S 40 Jesus, my Saviour, to Bethlehem
Jesus, my Saviour, to Bethlehem came,
Born in a manger to sorrow and shame;
Oh, it was wonderful– blest be His name!
Seeking for me, for me!
Seeking for me ! for me ! . .
Seeking for me ! for me ! . .
Oh, it was wonderful– blest be His name
Seeking for me, for me !
2 Jesus, my Saviour, on Calvary’s tree,
Paid the great debt, and my soul He set free;
Oh, it was wonderful– how could it be?–
Dying for me, for me !
Dying for me ! for me ! . .
Dying for me ! for me ! . .
Oh, it was wonderful– how could it be ?–
Dying for me, for me !
3 Jesus, my Saviour, the same as of old,
While I was wand’ring afar from the fold,
Gently and long did He plead with my soul,
Calling for me, for me !
Calling for me ! for me ! . .
Calling for me ! for me ! . .
Gently and long did He plead with my soul,
Calling for me, for me !

Sweet is the promise as weary years fly ;
Oh, I shall see Him descend from the sky,
Coming for me, for me !
Coming for me ! for me ! . .

Oh, I shall see Him descend from the sky,
Coming for me, for me!
SS & S 41 I have heard of Jesus in Bethlehem
I have heard of Jesus in Bethlehem born,
Of whom it hath been said,
That a star the wise men followed from far,
Till they reached His lowly bed.
He is my Saviour ! This same Jesus of
whom I’ve heard ;
He is my Saviour! I’ve found it in His Word.
2 I have heard of Jesus on Galilee’s wave;
The wind obeyed His will,
And the sea grew calm at hearing His voice
In the wondrous Peace,be still !
3 I have heard of Jesus at Bethany’s home,
When standing by the grave,
How He cried, Come forth, O Lazarus,now!
In His mighty power to save.
4 I have heard of Jesus on Calvary’s brow,
He died a Saviour true ;
And He said, Forgive them, Father,
I pray, For they know not what they do.
5 I have heard of Jesus in sepulchre laid,
In death’s dark, sullen gloom ;
How He burst the bars, and rising, came forth,
Mighty Victor from the tomb.
SS & S 42 There is no love like the love of Jesus
There is no love like the love of Jesus,
Never to fade or fall,
Till into the fold of the peace of God
He has gathered us all.
Jesus’ love, precious love,
Boundless and pure and free ;
Oh, turn to that love, weary wandering soul,
Jesus pleadeth for thee.
2 There is no heart like the heart of Jesus,
Filled with a tender love;
No throb nor throe that our hearts can know,
But He feels it above,
3 Oh, let us hark to the voice of Jesus !
Oh, may we never roam,
Till safe we rest on His loving breast
In the dear heavenly home.

SS & S 43 Tell me the story of Jesus
Tell me the story of Jesus,
Write on my heart every word ;
Tell me the story most precious,
Sweetest that ever was heard :
Tell how the angels in chorus
Sang, as they welcomed His birth,
Glory to God in the highest,
Peace and good tidings to earth!
2 Fasting alone in the desert,
Tell of the days that He passed;
How for our sins He was tempted,
Yet was triumphant at last:
Tell of the years of His labour,
Tell of the sorrows He bore ;
He was despised and rejected,
Homeless, afflicted, and poor.
3 Tell of the cross where they nailed Him ;
Tell of His anguish and pain;
Tell of the grave where they laid Him,
Tell how He liveth again:
Love, in that story so tender,
Clearer than ever I see :
Glory for ever to Jesus !
He paid the ransom for me.
SS & S 44 From the Bethlehem manger-home
From the Bethlehem manger-home,
Walking His dear form beside,
We to Calvary’s mount have come,
Where our Lord was crucified.
Sweet tones of love come down the ages through :
Father, forgive! they know not what they do.
2 Scornful words the soldiers fling,
Wicked rulers Him deride,
Saying,If Thou be the King,
Save Thyself, Thou Crucified!
3 Wondrous love for sinful men,
Of the sinless .One that died !
May we wound Thee not again,
Thou, O Christ, the Crucified !
SS & S 45 Tis known on earth and heaven too
‘Tis known on earth and heaven too,
‘Tis sweet to me because ’tis true ;
The old, old story is ever new ;
Tell me more about Jesus !
Tell me more about JesusI
Tell me more about Jesus !
Him would I know who loved me so :
ell me more about Jesus!
2 Earth’s fairest flowers will droop and die,
Dark clouds o’erspread yon azure sky ;
Life’s dearest joys flit fleetest by ;
Tell me more about Jesus !
3 When overwhelmed with unbelief,
When burdened with a blinding grief
Come kindly then to my relief;
Tell me more about Jesus !
4 And when the glory-land I see,
And take the place preparedfor me,
Through endless years my song shall be-
Tell me more about Jesus !
SS & S 46 I love to tell the Story
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 it’s 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.
2 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.
3 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.
4 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.
SS & S 47 Neither do I condemn thee
Neither do I condemn thee ! —
Oh, words of wondrous grace !
Thy sins were borne upon the cross :
Believe, and go in peace.
Neither do I condemn thee!
Oh, sing it o’er and o’er :
Neither do I condemn thee
Go, and sin no more.
2 Neither do I condemn thee !
For there is therefore now
No condemnation for thee,
As at the cross you bow.
3 Neither do I condemn thee !-
I came not to condemn ;
I came from God to save thee,
And turn thee from thy sin.
4 Neither do I condemn thee !–
Oh, praise the God of grace !
Oh, praise His Son, our Saviour
For this His word of peace!

Hears thy feeblest prayer ;
Do not fear to trust Him–
Tell Him all thy grief;
Cast on Him thy burden,

Thou art precious there ;
SurelyHe would shield thee
From the tempter’s snare ;
SafelyHe would lead thee,
By His own sweet way,
Out into the glory
Of a brighter day.

Overcome thy fears;

Wipe away thy tears.

Trusting only Jesus !
Oh, ’tis joy from day to day,
Trusting only Jesus !

Looking unto Jesus!
Till the land of rest I view,
There to dwell with Jesus!
SS & S 50 I met a Stranger fair to see
I met a Stranger fair to see,
As walked I down life’s rugged way ;
He spoke so sweet, so tenderly,
He won me to Himself that day.
It was the Man …of Galilee . . .
Who whispered words …of joy to me : . . .
Thy many sins …be all forgiven thee,
Thy sins be all . . . forgiven thee.
2 And when that Stranger spoke to me,
My heart threw off its guilty load ;
I felt at once that I was free ;
I left my burdens by the road.
3 I love that Stranger since the hour
He talked to me in tender tone ;
A joy is mine, I feel its power–
And Him as Lord I’m glad to own.
