Joy at the cross
Appears in 823 hymnals First Line: Sweet the moments, rich in blessing Lyrics: 1 Sweet the moments, rich in blessing,
Which before the cross I spend;
Life, and health, and peace possessing,
From the sinner's dying friend
Love and grief, my heart dividing,
With my tears his feet I'll bathe;
Constant still, in faith abiding,
Life deriving from his death.
2 Truly blessed in this station,
Low before his cross to lie,
While I see divine compassion
Beaming in his gracious eye.
Here I'll sit, forever viewing
Mercy streaming in his blood;
Precious drops my soul bedewing,
Plead and claim my peace with God.

The Old, Old Story
Appears in 503 hymnals First Line: Tell me the old, old story Lyrics: 1 Tell me the old, old story
Of unseen things above,
Of Jesus and his glory,
Of Jesus and his love;
Tell me the story simply
As to a little child,
For I am weak and weary,
And helpless and defiled.
2 Tell me the story softly,
With earnest tones, and grave;
Remember! I'm the sinner
Whom Jesus came to save;
Tell me the story always,
If you would really be
In any time of trouble,
A comforter to me.
3 Tell me the same old story,
When you have cause to fear
That this world's empty glory
Is costing me too dear;
Yes, and when that world's glory
Is dawning on my soul,
Tell me the old, old story;
"Christ Jesus makes thee whole."

Ninety and Nine
Appears in 373 hymnals First Line: There were ninety and nine that safely lay Lyrics: 1 There were ninety and nine that safely lay
In the shelter of the fold,
But one was out on the hills away,
Far off from the gates of gold--
Away on the mountains wild and bare,
Away from the tender Shepherd's care.
2 "Lord, thou hast here thy ninety and nine:
Are they not enough for Thee?"
But the Shepherd made answer: "'Tis one of mine
Has wandered away from me:
And although the road be rough and steep
I go to the desert to find my sheep."
3 But none of the ransomed ever knew
How deep were the waters crossed;
Nor how dark was the night that the Lord passed through
Ere he found his sheep that was lost.
Out in the desert he heard its cry--
Sick and helpless, and ready to die.
4 But all through the mountains, thunder-riven,
And up from the rocky steep,
There rose a cry to the gate of heaven
"Rejoice! I have found my sheep!"
And the angels echoed around the throne,
"Rejoice, for the Lord brings back his own!"

Fills with constant joy my heart. [Chorus]

Are but the pastime of an hour.

His kingdom passes not away;
His throne abides, despite assailing,
From henceforth unto endless day.
Each heart will seek and love its own;
My goal is Christ, and Christ alone,
My goal is Christ, and Christ alone.
4 And though a pilgrim I must wander,
Still absent from the One I love;
He soon will have me with him yonder
In his own glory realms above.
Triumphantly I therefore own;
My goal is Christ, and Christ alone,
My goal is Christ, and Christ alone.
