A Little Farther

Author: Unknown Meter: 15.15.15.15.15.15 Appears in 1 hymnal Matching Instances: 1 First Line: Just before His trial, Jesus entered dark Gethsemane Refrain First Line: Let us go a little farther, farther than we’ve gone before Lyrics: 1 Just before His trial, Jesus entered dark Gethsemane; Leaving eight outside, took Peter and two sons of Zebedee. Oh, the anguish in the garden, as again He left the three; And He went a little farther, all the way to Calvary! Refrain: Let us go a little farther, farther than we’ve gone before; Are we workers now for Jesus? Let us do a little more. 2 See Him praying, hear him groaning; death sweeps o’er Him like a flood; “Let this cup pass from me, Father”—sweat runs down as drops of blood! “Not my will, Lord, I will drink it: let Thy will be done in me.” And He went a little farther, all the way to Calvary! [Refrain] 3 Then at Pilate’s hall, behold Him, as the mob who mocked him cried, “Away, away, give us Barabbas; let this Christ be crucified!” Oh, Barabbas, oh, Barabbas, Jesus surely died for thee, When He went a little farther, all the way to Calvary! [Refrain] 4 Now He marches to Golgotha, scourged and thorn-crowned on the road; Bears the cross upon His shoulder, sinks beneath the heavy load! Mocked, reviled, by friends forsaken—all for you, and all for me— And He went a little farther, all the way to Calvary!

Give Me Just a Little Longer

Author: Anon. Appears in 1 hymnal Matching Instances: 1 First Line: Say, dear sinner, take salvation Lyrics: 1 Say, dear sinner, take salvation, Jesus died to set you right; Do not give the dreadful answer, “I’ll be saved, but not tonight. Give me just a little longer, For the world looks now so bright, When I feel that I am dying I’ll be saved, but not tonight.” Chorus: “Give me just a little longer, For the world looks now so bright; When I feel that I am dying I’ll be saved, but not tonight.” 2 When the judgment overtakes you, And those words appear in sight, How they prayed, and pleaded with you, But you answered, “Not tonight;” This will be the time, dear sinner, When you stand on death’s cold brink; When your soul is lost forever, Without Christ you’re sure to sink. [Chorus] 3 Oh, how vain is the delusion That the Lord your time will wait; Millions now are lost forever, Just outside the golden gate. Once like you the Savior bade them Enter into glorious light, But like you they softly answered, “I’ll be saved, but not tonight. [Chorus] 4 Listen, sinner, to the Savior, Pleading with the erring one, Listen to His kind entreaties, Come, ye weary wand’rer, come; List no longer to the tempter, To the world his words seem bright; Answer Jesus, gladly saying, “I’ll be saved, yes, Lord, tonight.” [Chorus] Used With Tune: [Say, dear sinner, take salvation]
