Lord, we come before Thee now,
At Thy feet we humbly bow;
Oh, do not our suit disdain!
Shall we seek Thee, Lord, in vain?

Lord, on Thee our souls depend;
In compassion now descend,
Fill our hearts with Thy rich grace,
Tune our lips to sing Thy praise.

In Thine own appointed way
Now we seek Thee, here we stay.
Lord, we know not how to go
Till a blessing Thou bestow.

Send some message from Thy Word
That may joy and peace afford;
Let Thy Spirit now impart
Full salvation to each heart.

Comfort those who weep and mourn,
Let the time of joy return;
Those that are cast down lift up,
Make them strong in faith and hope.

Grant that all may seek and find
Thee a gracious God and kind.
Heal the sick, the captive free;
Let us all rejoice in Thee.

Soon as I heard my Father say,
“Ye children, seek My grace,”
My heart replied without delay,
“I’ll seek my Father’s face.”

Let not Thy face be hid from me,
Nor frown my soul away;
God of my life, I fly to Thee
In a distressing day.

Should friends and kindred near and dear
Leave me to want or die,
My God would make my life His care,
And all my need supply.

My fainting flesh had died with grief
Had not my soul believed,
To see Thy grace provide relief;
Nor was my hope deceived.

Wait on the Lord, ye trembling saints,
And keep your courage up;
He’ll raise your spirit when it faints,
And far exceed your hope.

There’s a gentle voice within calls away,
’Tis a warning I have heard o’er and o’er,
But my heart is melted now, I obey;
From my Savior I will wander no more.

Refrain

Yes, I will go; yes, I will go;
To Jesus I will go and be saved;
Yes, I will go; yes, I will go;
To Jesus I will go and be saved.

He has promised all my sins to forgive,
If I ask in simple faith for His love,
In His holy Word I learn how to live,
And to labor for His kingdom above.

Refrain

I will try to bear the cross in my youth,
And be faithful in its cause till I die;
If with cheerful step I walk in the truth,
I shall wear a starry crown by and by.

Refrain

Still the gentle voice within calls away,
And its warning I have heard o’er and o’er;
But my heart is melted now, I obey:
From my Savior I will wander no more.

Refrain

We are going forth with our staff in hand,
Thro’ a desert wild in a stranger land;
But our faith is bright and our hope is strong,
And the Good Old Way is our pilgrim song.

Refrain

’Tis the Good Old Way, by our fathers trod;
’Tis the way of life, and it leadeth unto God;
’Tis the only path to the realms of day;
We are going home in the Good Old Way.

There are foes without, there are foes within;
They would turn us back to the path of sin;
We will stop our ears to the words they say,
While we onward press in the Good Old Way.

Refrain

In the blissful hour of communion sweet,
Let us come with joy to the Mercy-seat;
O we love to sing, and we love to pray,
And we bless the Lord for the Good Old Way.

Refrain

On the brink of time when we stand at last,
When our sun has set, and our work is past;
When we bid farewell to our mortal clay,
We will praise the Lord for the Good Old Way.

Refrain

My God, my Father, make me strong,
When tasks of life seem hard and long,
To greet them with this triumph song,
Thy will be done.

Draw from my timid eyes the veil,
To show, where earthly forces fail,
Thy power and love must still prevail,
Thy will be done.

With confident and humble mind,
Freedom in service I would find,
Praying through every toil assigned,
Thy will be done.

Things deemed impossible I dare;
Thine is the call and Thine the care;
Thy wisdom shall the way prepare;
Thy will be done.

Heaven’s music chimes the glad days in;
Hope soars beyond death, pain and sin;
Faith shouts in triumph, “Love must win?;
Thy will be done.
