With the light of God they shine;
And the walls resound with the joyous sound
Of the saints' glad song divine. [Chorus]

Jesus has Died for Me
Author: A. H. A. Appears in 4 hymnals Person Name: A. H. A. First Line: O to be there, where the songs of glory Lyrics: 1 O to be there, where the songs of glory
Float o'er the waves of the bright crystal sea;
This the refrain of the wondrous story,
"Jesus has died for me."
While still I linger in this world below,
Waiting till homeward I am called to go,
I will repeat o'er and o'er the story,
"Jesus has died for me.
2 O for a voice to proclaim the message
In ev'ry land and the isles of the sea,
"God's only Son is the Friend of sinners,
Jesus has died for me."
'Tis but a little that my hands can do
For this dear loving One so kind and true,
But I can tell to the world the story,
"Jesus has died for me."
3 Now that I've tasted thy love, O Jesus,
Taken my cross and am following thee,
Help me to tell this great truth to others,
"Jesus has died for me."
O that the world would seek the Father's face,
Trust in his mercy and forgiving grace;
Then how all hearts would rejoice in singing,
"Jesus has died for me."
4 O for a heart that will always love him,
Trusting his promise wherever I be;
Bearing in mind this sweet truth so precious,
"Jesus has died for me."
Washed in the blood of Jesus Christ my King,
Thro' endless ages I this song shall sing,
"Glory to God, everlasting glory,
Jesus has died for me."

Life's Railway to Heaven
Author: M. E. Abbey Appears in 90 hymnals Person Name: M. E. Abbey First Line: Life is like a mountain railroad Refrain First Line: Blessed Saviour, Thou wilt guide us Lyrics: 1 Life is like a mountain railroad,
With an engineer that's brave;
We must make the run successful,
From the cradle to the grave;
Watch the curves, the fills, the tunnels;
Never falter, never quail;
Keep your hand upon the throttle,
And your eye upon the rail.
Chorus:
Blessed Saviour, Thou wilt guide us,
Till we reach that blissful shore;
Where the angels wait to join us,
In Thy praise forevermore.
2 You will roll up grades of trial;
You will cross the bridge of strife;
See that Christ is your conductor,
On this lightning train of life;
Always mindful of obstruction,
Do your duty, never fail;
Keep your hand upon the throttle,
And your eye upon the rail. [Chorus]
3 You will often find obstructions;
Look for storms of wind and rain;
On a fill, or curve, or trestle,
They will almost ditch your train;
Put your trust alone in Jesus;
Never falter, never fail;
Keep your hand upon the throttle,
And your eye upon the rail. [Chorus]
4 As you roll across the trestle,
Spanning Jordan's swelling tide,
You behold the Union Depot,
Into which your train will glide;
There you'll meet the Superintendent,
God the Father, God the Son,
With the hearty, joyous plan-dit,
"Weary pilgrim, welcome home. [Chorus] Topics: Consecration Used With Tune: [Life is like a mountain railroad]

Sarah Flower Adams
1805 - 1848 Person Name: Mrs. S. F. Adams Hymnal Number: 217c Author of "Bethany" in Light in the Valley Adams, Sarah, nee Flower. born at Harlow, Essex, Feb. 22nd, 1805; died in London, Aug. 14, 1848, and was buried at Harlow, Aug. 21,1848. She was the younger daughter of Mr. Benjamin Flower, editor and proprietor, of The Cambridge Intelligencer; and was married, in 1834, to William B. Adams, a civil engineer. In 1841 she published Vivia Perpetua, a dramatic poem dealing with the conflict of heathenism and Christianity, in which Vivia Perpetua suffered martyrdom; and in 1845, The Flock at the Fountain; a catechism and hymns for children. As a member of the congregation of the Rev. W. J. Fox, an Unitarian minister in London, she contributed 13 hymns to the Hymns and Anthems, published by C. Fox, Lond., in 1841, for use in his chapel. Of these hymns the most widely known are— "Nearer,my God,to Thee," and "He sendeth sun, He sendeth shower." The remaining eleven, most of which have come into common use, more especially in America, are:—
Creator Spirit! Thou the first. Holy Spirit.
Darkness shrouded Calvary. Good Friday.
Gently fall the dews of eve. Evening.
Go, and watch the Autumn leaves. Autumn.
O hallowed memories of the past. Memories.
O human heart! thou hast a song. Praise.
O I would sing a song of praise. Praise.
O Love! thou makest all things even. Love.
Part in Peace! is day before us? Close of Service.
Sing to the Lord! for His mercies are sure. Praise.
The mourners came at break of day. Easter.
Mrs. Adams also contributed to Novello's musical edition of Songs for the Months, n. d. Nearly all of the above hymns are found in the Unitarian collections of Great Britain, and America. In Martineau's Hymns of Praise & Prayer, 1873, No. 389, there is a rendering by her from Fenelon: —" Living or dying, Lord, I would be Thine." It appeared in the Hymns and Anthems, 1841.
