The Lord is my Shepherd, no want shall I know;
Through valley and shadow of death though I stray,
In midst of affliction my table is spread;
Let goodness and mercy, my bountiful God,
This little light of mine,
On Monday, He gave me the gift of love;
This little light of mine,
Now some say you got to run and hide.
This little light of mine,
'tis so sweet to trust in Jesus,
Jesus, Jesus, how I trust Him!
How I love to trust in Jesus,
Jesus, Jesus, how I trust Him!
Yes, I've learned to trust in Jesus,
Jesus, Jesus, how I trust Him!
I'm so glad I learned to trust Him,
I'm just a poor wayfaring stranger
I know dark clouds will gather 'round me,
I want to wear a crown of glory,
Were you there when they crucified my Lord?
Were you there when they nailed Him to the tree?
Were you there when they laid Him in the tomb?
What a friend we have in Jesus,
Have we trials and temptations?
Are we weak and heavy laden,
Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine!
This is my story, this is my song,
Perfect submission, perfect delight,
This is my story, this is my song,
Perfect submission, all is at rest;
Beyond the sunset, O blissful morning.
Beyond the sunset, no clouds will gather.
Beyond the sunset, a hand will guide me,
Beyond the sunset, O glad reunion,
Soft as the voice of an angel,
Wait till the darkness is over,
Whispering hope,
Hope has an anchor so steadfast,
Come then o come glad fruition,
Whispering hope,
If in the dusk of the twilight,
Then when the night is upon us,
Whispering hope,
God be with you till we meet again;
Till we meet, till we meet,
God be with you till we meet again;
Till we meet, till we meet,
God be with you till we meet again;
Till we meet, till we meet,
God be with you till we meet again;
Till we meet, till we meet,
God be with you till we meet again;
Till we meet, till we meet,
Ave Maria! Maiden mild!
We slumber safely 'til the morrow,
Ave Maria! Undefiled!
The murky cavern's air's so heavy
Ave Maria! Stainless styled!
We bow beneath our care so laden
Ave Maria
Ave Maria, gratia plena
Ave Maria
Ave Maria, gratia plena
*******************************
I feed in green pastures, safe folded I rest;
He leadeth my soul where the still waters flow,
Restores me when wand'ring, redeems when oppressed.
Restores me when wand'ring, redeems when oppressed.
Since Thou art my Guardian, no evil I fear;
Thy rod shall defend me, Thy staff be my stay;
No harm can befall, with my Comforter near.
No harm can befall, with my Comforter near.
With blessing unmeasured my cup runneth o'er;
With perfume and oil Thou anointest my head;
O what shall I ask of Thy providence more?
O what shall I ask of Thy providence more?
Still follow my steps till I meet Thee above;
I seek, by the path which my forefathers trod,
Through land of their sojourn, Thy Kingdom of love.
Through land of their sojourn, Thy Kingdom of love.
I'm going to let it shine.
This little light of mine,
I'm going to let it shine.
This little light of mine,
I'm going to let it shine,
Ev'ry day, ev'ry day,
Ev'ry day, ev'ry day,
Gonna let my little light shine.
On Tuesday, peace came from above.
On Wednesday told me to have more faith;
On Thursday, gave me a little more grace.
On Friday, told me to watch and pray
On Saturday, told me just what to say,
On Sunday, gave power divine
Just to let my little light shine. (oh)
I'm going to let it shine.
This little light of mine,
I'm going to let it shine.
This little light of mine,
I'm going to let it shine,
Ev'ry day, ev'ry day,
Ev'ry day, ev'ry day,
Gonna let my little light shine.
But we say there's no place to hide.
And some say let others decide,
But we say let the people decide.
Some say the time's not right,
But we say the time's just right.
If there's a dark corner in our land,
You got to let your little light shine. (oh)
I'm going to let it shine.
This little light of mine,
I'm going to let it shine.
This little light of mine,
I'm going to let it shine,
Ev'ry day, ev'ry day,
Ev'ry day, ev'ry day,
Gonna let my little light shine.
'Tis So Sweet To Trust In Jesus
Just to take Him at His word,
Just to rest upon His promise;
Just to know, Thus saith the Lord.
How I've proved Him o'er and o'er!
Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus!
Oh, for grace to trust Him more!
Just to trust His cleansing blood.
Just in simple faith to plunge me
'Neath the healing cleansing flood!
How I've proved Him o'er and o'er!
Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus!
Oh, for grace to trust Him more!
And from sin and self to cease,
Now from Jesus simply taking
Life and rest and joy and peace.
How I've proved Him o'er and o'er!
Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus!
Oh, for grace to trust Him more!
Precious Jesus, Savior, Friend,
And I know that He is with me,
He'll be with me to the end.
A-travelling through this world of woe;
But there's no sickness, toil or trouble
In that bright world to which I go.
I'm going there to see my Father,
I'm going there no more to roam;
I'm just a-going over Jordan,
I'm just a-going over home.
I know my way is rough and steep;
But golden fields lay just before me,
Where God's redeemed no more shall weep.
I'm going there to see my mother,
She said she'd meet me when I come;
I'm just a-going over Jordan,
I'm just a-going over home.
When I get home to that bright land;
I want to sing salvation's story,
In concert with that blood-washed band,
I'm going there to meet my Saviour,
To sing His praises forevermore;
I'm just a-going over Jordan,
I'm just a-going over home.
Were you there when they crucified my Lord?
Oh! Sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble.
Were you there when they crucified my Lord?
Were you there when they nailed Him to the tree?
Oh! Sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble.
Were you there when they nailed Him to the tree?
Were you there when they laid Him in the tomb?
Oh! Sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble.
Were you there when they laid Him in the tomb?
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!
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.
Cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Saviour still our refuge;
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
Do thy friends dispise forsake thee?
Take it to the Lord in Prayer!
In His arms He'll take and shield thee;
Thou wilt find a solace there.
O what a foretaste of glory divine!
Heir of salvation, purchase of God,
Born of His Spirit, washed in His blood.
Praising my Savior all the day long;
This is my story, this is my song,
Praising my Savior all the day long.
Visions of rapture now burst on my sight;
Angels descending bring from above
Echoes of mercy, whispers of love.
Praising my Savior all the day long;
This is my story, this is my song,
Praising my Savior all the day long.
I in my Savior am happy and blest,
Watching and waiting, looking above,
Filled with His goodness, lost in His love.
When with our Saviour heaven's begun.
Earth's toiling ended, O glorious dawning
Beyond the sunset when day is done.
No storms will threaten, no fears annoy.
O day of gladness, O day unending.
Beyond the sunset eternal joy.
To God the Father whom I adore.
His glorious presence, His words of welcome,
Will be my portion on that fair shore.
With our dear loved ones who've gone before,
In that fair homeland we'll know no parting.
Beyond the sunset forever more.
Breathing a lesson unheard.
Hope with a gentle persuasion,
Whispers her comforting word.
Wait till the tempest is done.
Hope for the sunshine tomorrow,
After the shower is gone.
O how welcome thy voice,
Making my heart in its sorrow rejoice.
Rends the dark veil for the soul.
Wither the Master has entered,
Robbing the grave of its goal.
Come to my sad weary soul.
Come Thou O blessed hope of glory,
Never O never depart.
O how welcome thy voice,
Making my heart in its sorrow rejoice.
Dim be the region afar.
Will not the deepening darkness,
Brighten the shimmering star?
Why should the heart sink away?
When the dark midnight is over,
Watch for the breaking of day.
O how welcome thy voice,
Making my heart in its sorrow rejoice.
God Be With You Till We Meet Again
By His counsels guide, uphold you,
With His sheep securely fold you;
God be with you till we meet again.
Till we meet at Jesus' feet;
Till we meet, till we meet,
God be with you till we meet again.
Neath His wings protecting hide you;
Daily manna still provide you;
God be with you till we meet again.
Till we meet at Jesus' feet;
Till we meet, till we meet,
God be with you till we meet again.
With the oil of joy anoint you;
Sacred ministries appoint you;
God be with you till we meet again.
Till we meet at Jesus' feet;
Till we meet, till we meet,
God be with you till we meet again.
When life's perils thick confound you;
Put His arms unfailing round you;
God be with you till we meet again.
Till we meet at Jesus' feet;
Till we meet, till we meet,
God be with you till we meet again.
Ended when for you earth's story,
Israel's chariot sweep to glory;
God be with you till we meet again.
Till we meet at Jesus' feet;
Till we meet, till we meet,
God be with you till we meet again.
O listen to a maiden's prayer!
For thou canst hear amid the wild
Tis thou, tis thou canst save amid despair.
Tho' we, by men, outcast, reviled;
O maiden! See a maiden's sorrow -
O mother, hear a suppliant child!
Ave Maria!
The flinty couch whereon we're sleeping
Shall seem with down of eider piled,
If thou above, sweet, watch our keeping
Shall breathe of balm if thou hast smiled;
O maiden! Hear a maiden's pleading!
O mother, hear a suppliant child!
Ave Maria!
O fiends of air and earth the essence
From this their wonted haunt exiled
Shall flee before thy holy presence
To thy dear guidance reconciled;
Then hear, O maiden, simple maiden!
And for a father hear a child!
Ave Maria!
