Jesus Only (Conrey)

Author: Hattie M. Conrey Appears in 23 hymnals First Line: What tho' clouds are hov'ring o'er me Lyrics: 1. What tho’ clouds are hov’ring o’er me, And I seem to walk alone— Longing ’mid my cares and crosses, For the joys that now are flown— If I’ve Jesus, Jesus only, Then my sky will have a gem; He’s a sun of brightest splendor, And the star of Bethlehem. 2. What tho’ all my earthly journey Bringeth naught but weary hours, And, in grasping for life’s roses, Thorns I find instead of flowers— If I’ve Jesus, Jesus only, I possess a cluster rare; He’s the lily of the valley, And the rose of Sharon fair. 3. What tho’ all my heart is yearning For the loved of long ago— Bitter lessons, sadly learning From the shadowy page of woe— If I’ve Jesus, Jesus only, He’ll be with me to the end; And, unseen by mortal vision, Angel bands will o’er me bend. 4. When I soar to realms of glory And an entrance I await, If I whisper, Jesus only! Wide will ope the pearly gate; When I join the heavenly chorus, And the angel hosts I see, Precious Jesus, Jesus only, Will my theme of rapture be.

He can never be forgotten throughout heaven's eternal days. 2 On the mount of crucifixion fountains opened deep and wide; through the floodgates of God's mercy flowed a vast and gracious tide.

The Cradle On The Nile

Author: Alfred J. Hough Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Just a baby in a cradle Lyrics: 1 Just a baby in a cradle In the waters on the Nile, Then a leader moves a nation, Like an army, rank and file. This is how God works His wonders, Without trumpet or display, And we know not what is rocking In the cradle of today. 2 Who will solve the nation’s problems, Level mountains, tame the seas, Crystallize in splendid action Visions of the centuries! Who will lead the world tomorrow In its upward, onward way? Hush! we know not what is rocking In the cradle of today. 3 Lips are molding now in silence The illuminating word— Hearts are beating splendid measures That we never yet have heard. Comes a face with light upon it— God, behind a face of clay— Oh, we know not what is rocking In the cradle of today. 4 On some Nile, amidst the rushes, Dreaming, hidden from our view, There may be a master workman Who shall make this old world new. Scorn the fear of craven spirits, Heed no word the doubters say, For they know not what is rocking In the cradle of today. 5 When the night is at its deepest, And the darkness Heaven fills, There is morning somewhere molding, Back behind the eastern hills. Never yet has lived a pharaoh But some Moses broke his sway, And we know not what is rocking In the cradle of today. 6 Earth is full of strange surprises, In her near and distant isles, For the hand of God is moving, Through the rushes, on the Niles, Working out new movements, slowly, As the older forms decay, And we know not what is rocking In the cradle of today. 7 God, a boy, one woman moving In a path to her unknown, May emancipate a nation, And strike down an ancient throne, Purposes divine are shaping, Without haste, without delay, And we know not what is rocking In the cradle of today. 8 See, a princess from the rushes, Takes one of an alien race, Clothes him with the royal purple, Sets him in a lofty place. He will bide his time in silence, Wait to hear what God will say— Oh, we know not what is rocking In the cradle of today. 9 To the future step right boldly, Hail with hope the coming years, There is little room for doubting, There is little cause for tears; With the day’s need comes the needed, At the need hour, on its way, For we know not is rocking In the cradle of today.

Pwy all beidio cofio amdano Pwy all beidio canu ei glod? Dyma gariad nad â’n anghof Tra bod nefoedd wen yn bod. 2 Ar Galfaria yr ymrwygodd Holl ffynonau’r dyfnder mawr; Torrodd holl argaeau’r nefoedd Oeddynt gytfain hyd yn awr: Gras a chariad megis dylif Yn ymdywallt yma’nghyd, A chyfiawnder pur a heddwch Yn cusanu euog fyd.

Raise His Praise

Author: Franklin Hunter Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Blessèd God, we bow in worship Lyrics: 1. Blessèd God, we bow in worship May this house be filled with praise, As we turn our eyes on Jesus Dwell upon His earthly days. With His blood He paid the ransom, Broke our fetters, set us free, Blessed Saviour, Thy salvation Saves for all eternity. 2. Voices then we all lift heavenward To the Lord of all Supreme And like one of old in Scripture In the temple in a dream. Cherubim are there before Him, Seraphim surround and sing, O this wonder of all wonders Jesus now is Lord and King. 3. Spread the word to all who love Him, Raise an anthem to His name. Jesus Christ the only Saviour Yester-day, today the same. Ground of peace and of salvation O what grace and joy abound, Grandest theme throughout the ages, Praise the Lord, redemption ground. 4. Sing His praise and like a clarion, Loud and long retain the sound. For ‘tis through His great salvation, That we are no longer bound. Sin no more can have dominion, In His death He set us free; Shout this message to the nations, Jesus Christ brings liberty. Used With Tune: [Blessed God, we bow in worship]
