PREFACE.
SURELY no man has ever been called upon to make, or direct the making of, so many Song Books as I have. It is no little consolation at seventy to know that millions of people in every part of the world are singing God's praises together as a result of the efforts He has helped me to put forth or to direct for their good.
Yet it has seemed good to me at this time to attempt something like a thorough selection of those songs which we have found most useful in all lands, so that my people may have a larger storehouse of songs that may be used for all occasions, and that they may the more easily see what I would have them leave behind, and what preserve, translate, and use.
I thank God for the gifts of all His servants, ancient and modern, whose compositions I have been able to adopt, but it is not intended in any degree to limit the flow of new gongs, for wherever these songs are sung they will cause the production of others, and many here may yet be left behind should the number of our best song-makers be multiplied. I also wish to prevent the lowering of our standard, the taste of our people and the character of our service, by the use of songs that may have some worldly popularity just because they are not so definite or so hot as these.
Let others, if they please, heap together pretty poetry and sing it to what is called " refined music." Let us persevere in our singing of the simple old truths in the simple old hearty way that God has already blessed so widely to the salvation of souls and the making and training of red-hot soldiers.
But, above all, let me urge all who possess this book to make the utmost use of it in three ways : —
1. Take in the meaning of every song. How thoughtlessly many sing familiar words. Yet here is a great treasury of truth if you will but search into its riches. Be determined
iv.
that by God's grace you will never sing what you do not really mean and that you will be fitted to sing all you find here.
2. Sing and read and teach these songs to your children, morning and evening, at birthday celebrations and other family functions, as well as to the sick and to all whom you can influence. What a debt many of ue owe to the songs we learnt in childhood ! What clear-thinking, plain- speaking, God-knowing Salvationists will those be who have properly learned what these songs contain. Banish from your homes and children hymns and songs that are not straight and plain.
3. Sing so as to make the world hear. There cannot be a greater farce than for people to sing these songs at home and in our barracks amongst admiring listeners, unless they sing them also to the world. The highest value of our singing after all has not been the mere gladness we have felt because of our own salvation, but the joy of pouring out the praises of our God to those who have not known Him, or of arousing them by our singing to new thoughts and a new life.
And sing till your whole soul is lifted up to God, and then sing till you lift the eyes of those who know not God to Him who is the fountain of all our joy.

EXPLANATORY NOTES.
EEFEEENCES.
1. The references at the head of the Songs in ordinary type refer to "Salvation Army Music," which is being issued along with this- Song Book, and also to the New Band Book, the numbers being the same, as the tunes and their order are the same in both the Music Book and the Band Book. The italicised refer ences which appear in some instances (for ex ample, "Near the Cross," B.J. 8 — see page 10) have reference to tunes not contained in either the new Music Book or the Band Book.
2. Under the number of the Song letters or figures are in most cases given indicative of the metre (such as L.M., 6-8's, etc.), and below these figures appear letters which refer to Sec-- tions of the Metrical Index of Tunes, which will be found at the end of the Book, in which Index other tunes to which the Song can be. sung will also be found.
VU1.
INDEXES.
Songs are more readily remembered by some people by the first line of the Chorus rather than the first line of the Song itself. To meet this, tliA General Index, in addition to giving the first line of the first verse of the Song, gives the first Une of the Chorus in italics.
CHOBUSES.
1. In the Songs contained in this Boole two choruses have in several cases been given, generally one for each of the tunes indicated at the head of the Song as being available for it.
2. The collection of over 200 Choruses at the end of the book consists of both old and new choruses. The words are given in full, under proper headings and according to keys, so that there will be found in this collection ready-made Medleys for all occasions. To an Officer, a Leader of an Open-air Meeting or a March, this will prove very
helpful.
NOTICE.
Many of the Songs in this book are COPYRIGHT, and may not be reprinted without permission oj the Publisher.
Part I. SALVATION.
CALVARY,
Ou the cross of Calvary, 93, C/D.
the cross of Calvary, _ Jesus died for you and me ; * s There He shed His precious blood, g That from sin we might be free. Oh, the cleansing stream does flow, And it washes white as snow ! It was for me that Jesus died On the cross of Calvary.
O Calvary, O Calvary!
It was for me that Jesus died
On the cross of Calvary.
2 Oh, what wondrous, wondrous love, Brought me down at Jesus' feet 1 Oh, such wondrous, dying love,
Asks a sacrifice complete I
Here I give myself to Thee,
Soul and body, Thine to be ;
It was for me Thy blood was shed
On the cross of Calvary.
8 Take me, Jesus, I am Thine,
Wholly Thine, for evermore ; Blessed Jesus, Thou art mine ; Dwell within for evermore ; Cleanse, oh, cleanse my heart from sin, Make and keep me pure within 1 It was for this Thy blood was shed On the cross of Calvary. B
2 Salvation.
4 Clouds and darkness veiled the skies
When the Lord was crucified ; " It is finished 1 " was His cry,
When He bowed His head and died. It is finished, it is finished ! All the world may now go free ; It was for this that Jesus died On the cross of Calvary.
It was on the cross, 8, G/B6. Thy will be done, 18.
2 TT> XTENDED on a cursed tree, [blood.
Pj Besmeared with dust and sweat and
L-M< See there, the King of Glory see !
a Sinks and expires the Son of God.
It was on the cross He shed His blood,
It was there He was crucified ;
But He rose again, and He lives in my heart,
Where all is peace and perfect love.
2 The burden, for me to sustain
Too great, on Thee, my Lord, was laid ; To heal me Thou hast borne my pain ; To bless me Thou a curse wast made.
3 My Saviour how shall I proclaim,
How pay the mighty debt I owe ? Let all I have and all I am
Ceaseless to all Thy glory show.
4 Too much to Thee I cannot give ;
Too much I cannot do for Thee ; Let all Thy love and all Thy grief Graven on my heart for ever be !
Behold the Saviour. 23, E6/G. Lord, fill my craving heart, 45.
3 ~T) EHOLD the Saviour of mankind
|J Nailed to the shameful tree ; C.M. fjow vast the love that Him inclined b To bleed and die for thee 1
Calvary. 8
2 Hark 1 how He groans, while nature shakes,
And earth's strong pillars bend ; ™he temple's veil in sunder breaks — The solid marbles rend.
3 'Tis done ! the precious ransom's paid 1
" Receive My soul 1 " He cries. See where He bows His sacred head ; He bows His head, and dies.
4 But soon He'll break death's envious chain,
And in full glory shine : O Lamb of God ! was ever pain, Was ever love like Thine ?
It was on the cross, 8, G/B6. Booked in the cradle of the deep, 14.
Calvary's brow my Saviour died, 'Twas there my Lord was crucified ; L.M. 'Twas on the cross He bled for me, a And purchased there my pardon free. It was on the cross He shed His blood, It was there He was crucified ; But He rose again, and He lives in my heart, Where all is peace and perfect love. 2 'Mid rending rocks and darkening skies, My Saviour bows His head and dies ; The opening veil reveals the way To heaven's joys and endless day. 8 O Jesus, Lord, how can it be,
That Thou should' st give Thy life for me, To bear the cross and agony, In that dread hour on Calvary ?
It was on the cross, 8, G/B6. Thy will be done, 18.
c "r'VTHEN I survey the wondrous cross,
V Y On which the Prince of Glory died, L.M. |£y richest gain I count but loss, a And pour contempt on all rny pride. s9
Salvation.
2 Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast,
Save in the death of Christ, my God ; All the vain things that charm me most, I sacrifice them to His blood.
3 See, from His head, His hands, His feet,
Sorrow and love flow mingled down ; Did e'er such love and sorrow meet, Or thorns compose so rich a crown ?
4 Were the whole realm of nature mine.
That were a present far too small : Love so amazing, so divine,
Demands my soul, my life, my all.
Remember me, 58, G/A6. Belmont, 24.
Q A LAS 1 and did my Saviour bleed,
J~\ And did my Sovereign die ? C.M. -pid jje Devote that sacred head b For such a worm as I ?
Remember me, remember me,
O Lord, remember me ; Remember, Lord, Thy dying groans, And then remember me.
2 Was it for sins that I have done,
He suffered on the tree ?
Amazing pity, grace unknown,
And love beyond degree !
3 Well might the sun in darkness hide.
And shut his glories in, When Christ the mighty Maker died For man the creature's sin.
4 Dear Saviour, I can ne'er repay
The debt of love I owe ; Here, Lord, I give myself away, 'Tis all that I can do.

Calvary. 5
I am clinging to the cross, 37, D/F. Mary, 48.
(LUNGED in a gulf of dark despair
We wretched sinners lay, C.M. Without one cheerful beam of hope, b Or spark of glimmering day*
I am clinging to the cross.
2 With pitying eyes, the Prince of Peace
Beheld our helpless grief ; He saw, and — oh, amazing love 1 He flew to our relief.
3 Down from the shining seats above
With joyful haste He sped ; Entered the grave in mortal flesh, And dwelt among the dead.
4 Oh, for this love let rocks and hills
Their lasting silence break, And all harmonious human tongues
The Saviour's praises speak 1 6 Angels, assist our mighty joys,
Strike all your harps of gold ! But when you raise your highest notes,
His love can ne'er be told.
Down in the garden, 29, E6/G.
Q ~T^v ABK was the hour, Gethsemane,
I J When through thy walks was heard C.M. rjijje iowly Man of Galilee b Still pleading with the Lord.
Down in the garden,
Hear that mournfu1 sound ; There behold the Saviour weeping,
Praying on the cold, damp ground. 2nd CJiorus — Jesus, my Saviour,
Let me weep with Thee ; Mercy, O Thou Son of David I Mercy's coming down to me.
6 Salvation.
2 Alone in sorrow see Him bow,
As all our griefs He bears ; Not words may tell His anguish now, But sweat and blood and tears.
3 There prostrate on the earth He lies,
God's well-beloved Son ; But still the fainting Sufferer cries, " Father, Thy will be done ! "
4 For me He prays, I hear Him pray,
He will my soul receive. Now, Jesus, take my sins away ; Now, Jesus, I believe.
5 Can I forget the tears and blood
Which there He shed for me ? They flow a constant cleansing flood, Abundant, rich, and fr3e.

To save a poor sinner like me ; For the angels proclaimed that a Saviour was born, To save a poor sinner like me.

4 Death's barriers could not hold Him,
He burst them asunder for thee. On the third day He rose, in spite of His foes, To save a poor sinner like me.

O'er death I shall conqueror be, Then to glory I'll fly, and shout through the sky, " He saved a poor sinner like me."

H /""\H, come and look awhile on Him, [died ; \J Whom we have pierced, Who for us L.M. Together let us look and mourn : a The Christ of God is crucified.
2 His willing hands and feet are bound :
His gracious lips with thirst are dried: His pitying eye is dimmed with woe : The Christ of God is crucified.
8 Salvation.
3 Shall we refuse to hear Him speak ?
Dare we the Sinless One deride ? Surely on Him our sins were laid : Jesus, for us, is crucified.
4 His cross of shame is all our hope ;
The fountain opened in His side Shall purge our deepest stains away : With Jesus we are crucified.
5 A broken and a childlike heart,
To none who ask will be denied ; A broken heart love's dwelling is — The temple of the Crucified.

8 s & 3 s Aad there for ^ the world He died
n On the cross ;
His cheeks were smote, His flesh was torn, His sacred temples felt the thorn, While heaven and earth in darkness mourn Round the cross.
2 Our sins were all upon Him laid
On the cross ; For all He hath salvation made
On the cross ;
His pierced feet, His hands and side Pour forth redemption's healing tide, Life's cleansing fount was opened wide
On the cross. 2 Ten thousand foes did Him surround
On the cross ; But. lo 1 He did them all confound
On the cross :
Calvary. 9
His heavenly Father veiled His face, While devils thronged the sacred place, Still He redeemed our fallen race On the cross.
4 Oh, haste, my soul, and see Him die
On the cross ; Hark I hear that last expiring cry
On the cross ;
He says — " I suffered this for thee ; Approach in faith the blood-stained tree, And thou shalt My salvation see " —
On the cross.
5 When foes assail, oh, may I fly
To the cross ; Wken strength shall fail, oh, let me die
Near the cross I
And when I reach heaven's glorious plain. And join yon high and dazzling train, I'll sing the Lamb for sinners slain
On the cross.
Behold the Lamb, 122, G/B6. Better world, 123.
13 "OEHOLD1 behold the Lamb of God, c, oo., -D On the cross, s & d s por us jje shed His precious blood,
On the cross.
Oh, hear His all-important cry, " Why perish ; blood-bought sinner, why ?" Draw near and see your Saviour die,
On the cross. 2 Behold His arms extended wide, On the cross, Behold His bleeding hands and side, On the cross. The sun withholds his rays of light, The heavens are clothed in shades of night, While Jesus does with devils fight, On the cross.
10 Salvation.
3 Come, sinners, see Him lifted up, On the cross, He drinks for you the bitter cup, On the cross. The rocks do rend, the mountains quake, While Jesus doth salvation make,
While Jesus suffers for our sake, On the cross.
4 And now the mighty deed is done, On the cross. The battle's fought, the victory's won, On the To heaven He turns His dying eyes ; [cross " 'Tis finished ! " now the Conqueror cries ; Then bo ws His sacred head and dies, On the cross
5 Where'er I go I'll tell the story Of the cross. In nothing else my soul shall glory, Save the cross Yes ; this my constant theme shall be, Through time and in eternity,
That Jesus tasted death for me, On the cross.
Near the crou, B.J. Q, A6/B6.
^^J "TTESUS, keep me near the cross : <J There a precious fountain, Free to all — a healing stream —
Flows from Calvary's mountain. In the cross, in the cross, be my glory ever : Till my raptured soul shall find rest beyond the river.
2 Near the cross, a trembling soul,
Love and mercy found me ; There the Bright and Morning Star, Shed His beams around me.
3 Near the cross ! 0 Lamb of God,
Bring its scenes before me ; Help me walk from day to day With its shadow o'er me.
4 Near the cross I'll watch and wait,
Hoping, trusting ever, Till I reach the golden strand, Just beyond the river.

I j. Lo, Salem's daughters weep around; D.L.M. ^ solemn darkness veils the skies,
a A sudden trembling shakes the ground. Ye saints, with tender hearts review,
How He beneath your burdens groaned ; Not tears, but blood, He shed for you, And for a guilty world atoned.
2 Mysterious love beyond degree !
The Prince of Glory dies for men ; But, lo ! what sudden joys we see !
Jesus, the dead, revives again I In triumph He forsakes His tomb.
Up to His Father's court He flies ; The angel legions guard Him home,
And shout Him welcome to the skies.
3 Dry up your tears, ye saints, and tell
How high your great Deliverer reigns ; Sing how He spoiled the hosts of hell,
And led the tyrant death in chains. Say, " Live for ever, wondrous King !
Born to redeem, and strong to save 1 " Then ask of death, " Where is thy sting ?
Oh, where's thy victory, boasting grave ? "

2 Jesus descended from above,
Our loss of Eden to retrieve. Great God of universal love,
If all the world through Thee may live. In me a quickening Spirit be, And witness Thou hast died for me 1
3 Thou loving, all-atoning Lamb !
Thee — by Thy painful agony, Thy bloody sweat, Thy grief and shame.
Thy cross, and passion on the tree, Thy precious death and life — I pray, Take all, take all my sins away.
4 Oh, let me kiss Thy bleeding feet,
And bathe and wash them with my tears ; The story of Thy love repeat
In every drooping sinner's ears, That all may hear the quickening sound, Since I, even I, have mercy found.
<5 Oh, let Thy love my heart constrain,
Thy love for every sinner free ; That every fallen soul of man
May taste the graca that found out me ; That all mankind with me may prove Thy sovereign, everlasting love 1

The invitation is to ALL :
Come, all the world ; come, sinner, thou !
All things in Christ are ready now. 8 Come, all ye souls by sin opprest,
Ye weary wanderers after rest,
Ye poor, and maimed, and halt, and blind,
In Christ a hearty welcome find.
4 My message as from God receive, Ye all may come to Christ, and live ; Oh, let His love your hearts constrain, Nor suffer Him to die in vain !
5 His love is mighty to compel ;
His conquering love consent to feel, Yield to His love's resistless power. And fight against your God no more

23 T^iAKK shadows were falling, .., I J My spirit appalling, [stains lay ^
For hid in my heart sin's deep crimson* y And when I was weeping,
The past o'er me creeping, I heard of the blood which can wash sin awajn.
The wounds of Christ are open,
Sinner, they were made for thee : The wounds of Christ are open,
There for refuge flee. 2nd Chorus. — For the conquering Saviour
Shall break every chain, And give us the victory
Again and again.
2 It soothes all life's sorrows, It smooths all its furrows,
It binds up the wounds which transgression- has made ;
It turns night to morning,
So truly adorning The spirit with Joy when all other lights fade*,
3 The current's first waking Was when Christ was taking
A world's shame and sorrow through death and the grave ;
And angels were scheming To make known the meaning To the hearts of all nations His power to save.,
4 Come, cast in thy sorrow,
Wait not till to-morrow, [toll :
Life's evening is closing, the death-bell
His blood for thee streaming,
His grace so redeeming, His love intervening will pardon thy soul.

IDBEAMED that the great Judgment morning
Had dawned, and the trumpet had blown, I dreamed that the nations had gathered In Judgment before the white throne ; From the throne went a bright, shining angel,
And stood on the land and the sea, And swore, with his hand raised to heaven, That time was no longer to be.
Then, oh, what a weeping and wailing
When the lost ones heard of their fate ! They cried on the rocks and the mountains, They prayed, but their prayer was too late
2 The rich man was there, but his money
Had melted and vanished away, A pauper he stood at the Judgment —
His debts were too heavy to pay. The great man stood there, but his greatness
When death came was left far behind, The angel tha,t carried the records
No trace of his greatness could find.
108
Salvation.
3 The widow was there, and the orphan,
God heard and remembered their cries — No sorrow in heaven for ever —
God wiped all the tears from their eyes. The gambler was there, and the drunkard,
And the man that had sold him the drink, With all who'd refused God's salvation,
Together in hell they did sink.
4 The moral man came to the Judgment,
But his self-righteous rags would not do ; The men that had crucified Jesus —
They passed off as moral men too. The souls that had put off salvation —
" Not to-night, I'll get 'saved by-anJ-by — No time now to thinkiof religion " —
At last they had found time to die.

2 The trumpet sounds, the thunders roll, The heavens passing as a scroll,
The earth will burn with fire- 8 Poor sinners then on earth will cry, While lightning's flashing from the sky, " O mountains, on us fall 1 "
4 Yes, sinners then on earth will burn, To ashes will their bodies turn ;
The saints will shout with joy.
5 Then on a sea of glass shall stand King Jesus, with His conquering band,
Safe-housed above the fire.
6 Come, buy your oil, before too late, And ready for the Bridegroom wait,
And watch to enter in.
7 Come, soldiers, all, and let us try To warn poor sinners, and to cry,
" Behold, the Bridegroom comes I '*

1VI Damnation and the dead : C.M. What horrors haunt the guilty soul b Upon a dying bed !
2 Lingering about these mortal shores,
She makes a long delay ; Till, like a flood, with rapid force Death sweeps the wretch away.
110 Salvation.
3 Then swift and dreadful she descends,
Down to the fiery coast, Amongst the abominable fiends, Herself for ever lost.
4 Not all their anguish and their blood
For their old guilt atones ; Nor the compassion of a God Shall hearken to their groans.
5 Amazing grace, that kept my breath,
Nor bid my soul remove, Till I had learned my Saviour's death, And well ensured His love I
Beyond the river, 214. D/F.
159 npHERE is a land of endless woe,
I Beyond, beyond the river, Where all the Christ rejecters go, ,
Beyond, beyond the river. From hope and mercy driven, From friendship, love, and heaven, To fire and darkness given, In that land beyond the river.
O sinner turn, no longer spurn The love of Christ, your Saviour ;
Then you shall know His joy below, And reign in heaven for ever.
2 Wide is the pate and broad the way
To the land beyond the river, And thousands throng it day by day.
To the land beyond the river. Allured by sinful pleasure, They turn in vain for treasure— 'Tis sorrow without measure In that land bevond the river.
Hell. Ill
8 Thank God, there is a narrow way, This side, this side the river,
That leads to realms of endless day, Beyond, beyond the river I
For men of every nation,
Of every rank and station,
There's mercy and salvation,
Through the blood, this side the river,
What'B the news ? 126, A/Bft. Better world. 120.
16O /^\H, millions cry in hell to-day,
U "All is lost!" 8 s & 6 s Ajnia eternal flames they stay : n All is lost 1
The summer's o'er, the harvest past, The die, the dreadful die, is cast, And threatened woe is come at last :
All is lost 1 2 They wring their hands, and tear their hair ;
All is lost 1 Their souls are filled with blank despair :
All is lost 1
Like smoke their endless torments rise, They feel the worm that never dies, While unavailing are their cries : All is lost 1
8 And now a word to you who are
Not yet lost I But in the way which leadeth there,
To be lost !
You now are standing on the brink, When life is gone at once you sink ; Oh, stop, poor sinner, stop, and think.
Ere you're lost !
112 Salvation.
4 See, there's a man begins to weep I
He'll be saved ! The Lord has caught the wandering sheep
He'll be saved !
Hark, don't you hear some one at prayer ? It comes from that poor sinner there ; I'll change my chorus, I'll declare :
He'U be saved!
5 Look up, believe, pray on, pray on,
You'll be saved I To-night, praise God ! it can be done,
You'll be saved I
The Lord will ease your troubled breast, With peace and pardon you'll be blest ; Now let us pray that all the rest
May be saved !
Stop, poor tinner. Sal. Muric, Vol. 1, 108, B.J. 89 F/G.
TOP, poor sinner, stop and think,
Before you farther go — Can you sport upon the brink
Of everlasting woe ? Hell beneath is gaping wide,
Vengeance waits the dread command Soon to stop your sport and pride, And sink you with the damned.
Once again I charge you, stop !
For, unless you warning take, Ere you are aware, you'll drop
Into the burning lake.
2 Ghastly death will quickly come,
And drag you to the bar ;
Then to hear your awful doom
Will fill yo" with despair.
Hell. 113
All your sins will round you crowd, Sins of blood and crimson dye ;
Each for vengeance crying loud, And what will you reply ?
3 But as yet there is a hope,
You may His mercy know ; Though His arm be lifted up,
He still forbears the blow. 'Twas for sinners Jesus died,
Sinners He invites to come ; None who come shall be denied,
He says, " There still is room."
Oh, the drunkard ma,- come. 183, E6/F. The rounds of Christ 181.

tomb? [gloom?
Shall heaven's bright glory or hell's deepest
Oh, the drunkard may come, and the swearer may
come,
Backsliders and sinners are all welcome home ; If you will but believe and be washed in the blood, For ever and ever you will dwell with the Lord.
The wounds of Christ are open, Sinner, they were made for thee :
The wounds of Christ are open, There for refuge flee.
2 In that land before you all rest is unknown, In blackness and darkness for ever they groan ; What writhing and tossing, what weeping and
pain, The soul cries in woe, "I'm tormented in flame ! "
114 Salvation.
3 The sight of the blood-washed, the throne and
the Lamb, [palm,
The bright, shining mansions, the conqueror's All add to their sufferings and bitter despair, When keenly remembering they might have been
there.
4 Now, sinner, take warning in God's day of grace, In Jesus' blest kingdom you may find a place ; Be wise, then, in time, at His cross kneel and
pray, And prove that His blood can wash all sin awaj*.

5 Kindled His relentings are, Me He now delights to spare, Cries, " How shall I give thee up ?" Lets the lifted thunder drop.
6 There for me the Saviour stands, Shows His wounds, and spreads His
hands !
God is love, I know, I feel ; Jesus lives and loves me still.
O Saviour, I am coining, 174, F/G.

Empty is the world's enjoyment, Fleeting is its glittering show ; When I see my Saviour's brightness. All is darkness here below.
O Saviour, I am coming, I'm coming now to Thee.
2 Coming with my heart of sorrow,
Coming with my life of care, Coming to the Lord of mercy,
Coming to the God of prayer ; Leaving all the world behind me,
Leaving all my doubts and fears, Pressing on to find my Saviour,

8 Giving now my soul and body,
As an offering, Lord, to Thee ; In Thy footsteps I would follow,
Living, dying, Thine to be. Oh, in mercy let Thy blessing
Fill and overflow my heart 1 All my ways and thoughts possessing,
Come, dear Lord, no more to part,
4 Till I close my earthly story,
Till I rest within my grave, Till I see Thee in Thy glory —
Thou, the Mighty One to save, Keep me still to Calvary clinging,
Walking, talking, Lord, with Thee ; Then my soul to glory bringing,
There eternally to be.

A wretch of a tenant proved he, A plausible, smooth- voiced fellow enough,
But such a great trouble to me. It was all through sin he ever got in, But seemed so pleasant and nice ; I bid him not roam, but my heart for his home He could, if he chose, make his choice. Now Jesus dwells within, now Jesus dwells within ;
The devil's turned out, and put to rout, And Jesus dwells within. 2 On closer acquaintance my tenant turned out
A regular sham and a sell ; So full of deceit and deception was he
That lies, just like truth, he could tell. I told him to quit, oft tried to evict
This tenant from out of my heart ; The struggles we had they near turned me mad, But still he would never depart.

And still keep the Stranger without ; But I opened it wide, for help to Him cried,
He came, and my tenant threw out.

What music and joy fill my heart 1 How sweet is the sound of His voice when He
What peace does His presence impart ! New furnished within, my heart He keeps clean,

But Jesus took me in, Down where the living waters flow , 'Twas there He gave me sight, And let me see the light, Down where the living waters flow.

With Jesus at my side, I need no other guide, Down where the living waters flow ; He is my Hope and Stay, He saves me every day, Down where the living waters flow.

My mind to seek her peace in Thee ; Yet while I seek, but find Thee not,
No peace my wandering soul shall see : Oh, when shall all my wanderings end, And all my steps to Thee, Lord, tend ?
3 Is there a thing beneath the sun
That strives with Thee my heart to share ? Ah, tear it thence, and reign alone,
The Lord of every motion there ! Then shall my heart from earth be free, When it hath found repose in Thee.
4 Oh, hide this self from me, that I
No more, but Christ in me, may live; My vile affections crucify,
Nor let one darling lust survive ! In all things nothing may I see, Nothing desire or seek, but Thee!

Only show me how faulty I've been ? Will He not attend to my cry?

I know that Thy power cannot fail, Here and now I know — yes, I feel,
The prayer of my heart does prevail.
3 Now I know to me Thou wilt show
What before I never could see ; Now I know in me Thou wilt dwell,
And un.ted to Thee I shall be. The light of Thy smile is on me,
Thy love to my heart is made known ; Now the face of my God I shall see,
And His power in my life shall be shown.

I here confess is small ; But on Thy sti'ength, O God, I lean, And through the blood that makes me clean,
Thou art my all-in-all.

I look into my Saviour's breast ; Away, sad doubt and anxious fear ! Mercy is all that's written there.

Though strength and health and friends
be gone, Though joys be withered all and dead,
Though every comfort be withdrawn, On this my steadfast soul relies : Father, Thy mercy never dies.

Our enemies make boast, They forget that with us
Comes the almighty Holy Ghost, And unseen battalions
Of the glorious heavenly host, As we go marching to glory.

For Jesus and His train : All the world shall hear us
As fresh converts still we gain ; Sin shall fly before us,
For resistance is in vain, As we go marching to glory.

One by one ; Through the waters of death they enter life,
One by one.
To some are the floods of the river still, As they ford their way to the heavenly hill ; While to others the waves run fierce and wild ; Yet all reach the home of the undefiled,
One by one.
3 0 Jesus ! Eedeemer 1 we look to Thee,
One by one ; We lift our voices tremblingly,
One by one.
The waves of the river are dark and cold, We know not the spots where our feet may hold ; But Thou who didst pass through in deepest
midnight, Strengthen us, send us the staff and light,
One by one.
4 Oh, plant Thou Thy feet beside as we tread,
One by one ; On Thee let us lean each drooping head,
One by one.
. Let but Thy strong arm around us be twined. We shall cast our cares and fears to the wind ; Saviour and Eedeemer 1 with Thee in full view Smilingly, gladsomely, we shall pass through,
One by one.
