• [Luk 8:23] When The Storms Of Life Surround Me

  When the storms of life surround me, And the world seems dark and cold, When the rain beats down upon me, And the lightning stabs my soul, I cry out to my Savior, “Lord, help me, lest I die! Do You care not that the billows Push my boat toward the shoal?” When the raging winds and tempest, And the noxious clouds of sin, Whirl around me like an army, And my faith is wearing thin, In a whispering distant thunder, Comes a voice like morning calm: “Fear not, I am with you ever, Till the world shall see its end. “I command the winds of heaven, And the lightning does My will, I Who walked upon the waters, And Who bid the storm be still. I seek not your destruction, But to strengthen and make pure; Keep your faith in Me, believing I My promises fulfill.” He is greater than the thunder, He is mightier than the storm; He extends His hand to lift me, And protect my soul from harm. He will see me safe to harbor, To the haven of my rest, Sheltered by the Rock of Ages, Held in His almighty arm.

• [Mrk 4:37] Fierce Raged O’er The Tempest Deep

  Fierce raged the tempest o’er the deep, Watch did Thine anxious servants keep But Thou wast wrapped in guileless sleep, Calm and still. “Save, Lord, we perish,” was their cry, “O save us in our agony!” Thy word above the storm rose high, “Peace, be still.” The wild winds hushed; the angry deep Sank, like a little child, to sleep; The sullen billows ceased to leap, At Thy will. So, when our life is clouded o’er, And storm winds drift us from the shore, Say, lest we sink to rise no more, “Peace, be still.”

• [Mrk 4:37] Fierce Was The Storm Of Wind

  Fierce was the storm of wind, The surging waves ran high, Failed the disciples’ hearts with fear, Tho’ Thou, their Lord, wast nigh. But at the stern rebuke, Of Thy almighty word, The wind was hushed, the billows ceased, And owned Thee God and Lord. So now, when depths of sin, Our souls with terrors fill, Arise, and be our Helper, Lord, And speak Thy “Peace, be still.” When death’s dark sea we cross, Be with us in Thy power, Nor let the water floods prevail In that dread trial hour. And, when amid the sighs, Which speak Thine Advent near, The roaring of the sea and waves Fills faithless hearts with fear; May we all undismayed The raging tempests see, Lift up our head and hail with joy Thy great Epiphany.

  Lord, the wind and sea obey Thee, Moon and stars their homage pay Thee; Listen to us, as we pray Thee, Who on Thee for all depend. Bless all travelers and strangers, Safely keep the ocean rangers, Guide them in the midst of dangers: All to Thee we now commend. Bless the friends we’ve left behind us; Closer may our parting bind us: May they dearer, better, find us, When we reach our journey’s end. On our way, dear Lord, direct us; Where we err do Thou correct us; From the powers of ill protect us, From all perils us defend. May we know Thy presence o’er us, See Thy guiding hand before us, Till Thou safely dost restore us, Love to love and friend to friend. Holy God, in mercy bending, Human souls with love befriending, Fit us all for joy unending, When this earthly course doth end.

  Master, the tempest is raging! The billows are tossing high! The sky is o’ershadowed with blackness, No shelter or help is nigh; Carest Thou not that we perish? How canst Thou lie asleep, When each moment so madly is threatening A grave in the angry deep? Refrain The winds and the waves shall obey Thy will, Peace, be still!

Peace, be still! They all shall sweetly obey Thy will, Peace, peace, be still! Master, with anguish of spirit I bow in my grief today; The depths of my sad heart are troubled Oh, waken and save, I pray! Torrents of sin and of anguish Sweep o’er my sinking soul; And I perish! I perish! dear Master Oh, hasten, and take control. Refrain Master, the terror is over, The elements sweetly rest; Earth’s sun in the calm lake is mirrored, And heaven’s within my breast; Linger, O blessèd Redeemer! Leave me alone no more; And with joy I shall make the blest harbor, And rest on the blissful shore. Refrain

  O troubled sea of Galilee, When run thy billows high, And through thy dreaded storms I see That pain and death are nigh; O when thy threatening clouds appear And floods impending chill, Through surge and tempest may I hear A voice say, “Peace, be still.” O storied sea of Galilee, Through all the changing years, Thy stress is type of storms to be And sign of rising fears; Thy tempests drive our hopes across The floods of human ill; The conquest o’er all pain and loss Is in thy “Peace, be still.” Thou vaster sea than Galilee, Where may I look for peace? What wondrous power commanding thee Can cause thy winds to cease?

Refrain Speak thro’ the storm when the billows run high, Say to my soul, “Do not fear, it is I”; Speak thro’ the storm when the billows run high, Say to my soul, “Do not fear, it is I.” Over the noise of the tempest, Over the dash of the wave, Rings the sweet voice of the Savior; See, He is mighty to save; Calmed in a moment the billows, Hushed in an instant to sleep, Stilled is the roar of the wild winds, Steadied their boat on the deep. Refrain Wonderful Jesus, I need Thee, Out in the storm and the strife, Oft it has seemed I was sinking, Tossed on the ocean of life; Speak to the winds and the waters, Each Thy behest must fulfill; Speak to my heart in the tempest, Whispering softly, “Be still.” Refrain When I am toiling in rowing, Almost engulfed in the sea, Make of the billows a pathway, Come thro’ the darkness to me; Failures and terrors will vanish, Soon as I know Thou art nigh; Say to my soul in the danger, “Be not afraid, it is I.” Refrain Waters unknown are awaiting Travelers leaving earth’s shore; Back to this side of the river, Passengers come nevermore; O when that chill tide is bringing Boatmen to bear me away, Galilee’s Conqu’ror, be with me; Pilot me over, I pray.

When the darkling heavens frown, And the wrathful winds come down, And the fierce waves, tossed on high, Lash themselves against the sky, Jesus, Savior, pilot me, Over life’s tempestuous sea. As a mother stills her child, Thou canst hush the ocean wild; Boisterous waves obey Thy will, When Thou sayest to them, “Be still!” Wondrous Sovereign of the sea, Jesus, Savior, pilot me.

Take care, said Jesus clearly, for many will appear; They’ll claim to be Messiah, yet people should not fear. For in the days of Noah, the people went along In eating and in drinking, in merriment and song— Then suddenly the world changed with great, surprising power; So too will be Christ’s coming, and no one knows the hour. So keep awake and watchful; salvation is at hand! Our hope is in Christ Jesus, and by God’s grace we stand. The night is almost over, we wait for God’s new day, And through the Holy Spirit, we follow Jesus’ way. Be ready in your living, for when you feed the poor, Or give to thirsty children the water they long for, And when you welcome strangers and help the ones in need, Christ says: “Receive my kingdom, for you are serving me.”

  The King is coming in glory To catch His bride away, It may be in the morning It may be at midday, At the even or midnight; The trump will sound so clear, The dead in Christ, and we that live, His voice shall hear. Refrain The King is coming, hallelujah! He’s coming in the air, The fig tree is budding, The signs are everywhere, The King is coming, hallelujah! He’s coming in the air, He’s coming, hallelujah! To catch His bride away. Behold!

Refrain The King is coming, “Be ready,” To meet Him on that day; With your heart right, with your robes white, And in this holy way; Like the lightning that flashes In the twinkling of an eye, Our Lord shall come to claim His own, He’s drawing nigh. The saints are looking ever upward While journ’ing on their way. He’s coming, hallelujah! To catch His bride away. The saints are looking ever upward While journ’ing on their way.

  Lift up your heads, rejoice, redemption draweth nigh; Now breathes a softer air, now shines a milder sky; The early trees put forth their new and tender leaf; Hushed is the moaning wind that told of winter’s grief. Lift up your heads, rejoice, redemption draweth nigh; Now mount the laden clouds, now flames the darkening sky; The early scattered drops descend with heavy fall, And to the waiting earth the hidden thunders call. Lift up your heads, rejoice, redemption draweth nigh; O note the varying signs of earth, and air, and sky; The God of glory comes in gentleness and might, To comfort and alarm, to succor and to smite. He comes, the wide world’s King, He comes, the true heart’s Friend, New gladness to begin, and ancient wrong to end; He comes, to fill with light the weary waiting eye; Lift up your heads, rejoice, redemption draweth nigh.

Arise! Go forth to meet the bride.’ Beware, my soul; beware, beware, Lest thou in slumber lie, And like, the five, remain without, And knock, and vainly cry; But watch, and bear thy lamp undimmed, And Christ shall gird thee on His own bright wedding robe of light— The glory of the Son.

  Hark! A voice divides the sky, happy are the faithful dead! In the Lord who sweetly die, they from all their toils are freed; Them the Spirit hath declared blessed, unutterably blessed; Jesus is their great reward, Jesus is their endless rest. Followed by their works, they go where their Head has gone before; Reconciled by grace below, grace has opened mercy’s door; Justified through faith alone, here they knew their sins forgiven, Here they laid their burden down, hallowed, and made fit for heaven. Who can now lament the lot of a saint in Christ deceased? Let the world, who know us not, call us hopeless and unblessed: When from flesh the spirit freed hastens homeward to return, Mortals cry, “A man is dead!” Angels sing, “A child is born!” Born into the world above, they our happy brother greet, Bear him to the throne of love, place him at the Savior’s feet; Jesus smiles, and says, “Well done, good and faithful servant thou; Enter, and receive thy crown, reign with Me triumphant now.” Angels catch the approving sound, bow, and bless the just award; Hail the heir with glory crowned, now rejoicing with his Lord: Fuller joys ordained to know, waiting for the general doom, When the archangel’s trump shall blow, “Rise, ye dead, to judgment come!”

  “Servant of God, well done! Rest from thy loved employ; The battle fought, the victory won, Enter thy Master’s joy.” The voice at midnight came; He started up to hear; A mortal arrow pierced his frame: He fell, but felt no fear. Tranquil amid alarms, It found him on the field, A veteran, slumbering on his arms, Beneath his red cross shield. His sword was in his hand, Still warm with recent fight, Ready that moment, at command, Through rock and steel to smite. The pains of death are past, Labor and sorrow cease; And, life’s long warfare closed at last, His soul is found in peace. Soldier of Christ, well done!

  O do some good deed ev’ry day, And speak kind words along the way; O sing a glad and cheerful song, For it may make some weak heart strong. Refrain O do some good deed ev’ry day, Then will the loving Master say: “Your deeds wrought in My Name shall be Recorded as done unto Me.” O help a brother bear his load O’er life’s uphill and dreary road; With those who need, share ev’ry day The blessings God has sent your way. Refrain O seek, and you will always find The sheaves of good to reap and bind; There’s something you can do or say For Christ the Master’s sake each day. Refrain

  O God of mercy! hearken now Before Thy throne we humbly bow; With heart and voice to Thee we cry For all on earth who suffering lie. We seek Thee where Thou dwell’st on high; Beyond the glittering, starry sky: We find Thee where Thou dwell’st below Beside the beds of want and woe. O let the healing waters spring, Touched by Thy pitying angel’s wing; With quick’ning pow’r new strength impart To palsied will, to withered heart. Where poverty in pain must lie, Where little suffering children cry, Bid us haste forth as called by Thee, And in Thy poor Thyself to see.

  O God of mercy, God of might, In love and pity infinite, Teach us, as ever in Thy sight, To live our life to Thee. And Thou Who cam’st on earth to die, That fallen man might live thereby, O hear us, for to Thee we cry In hope, O Lord, to Thee. Teach us the lesson Thou hast taught, To feel for those Thy blood hath bought; That every word and deed and thought May work a work for Thee. For all are brethren, far and wide, Since Thou, O Lord, for all hast died; Then teach us, whatsoe’er betide, To love them all in Thee. In sickness, sorrow, want or care, Whate’er it be, ’tis ours to share; May we, when help is needed, there Give help as unto Thee. And may Thy Holy Spirit move All those who live, to live in love, Till Thou shalt greet in Heaven above All those who live to Thee.

  O, sing we a carol all blithe and free, And fit for our Christmas morn, For the world is as cold as the cold can be, Though its Lord on this day was born; Though its Lord on this day was born: ’Tis a wintry time for the rich and poor, And who should be driv’n from a Christian’s door? Refrain ’Tis a wintry time for the rich and poor, And who should be driven from a Christian’s door? And who should be driv’n from a Christian’s door?

Yet ’twas winter time for the rich and poor, Refrain True sages were they who to Bethlehem led, Brought frankincense, myrrh, and gold, Which they offered to Christ on His manger bed, With a reverent love untold. Yet ’twas winter time for rich and poor, When the wise men knelt at the stable door.

• [Mat 25:40] Poor Wayfaring Man Of Grief, A

  A poor wayfaring Man of grief Hath often crossed me on my way, Who sued so humbly for relief That I could never answer nay. I had not power to ask his name, Whereto he went, or whence he came; Yet there was something in his eye That won my love; I knew not why. Once, when my scanty meal was spread, He entered; not a word he spake, Just perishing for want of bread. I gave him all; he blessed it, brake, And ate, but gave me part again. Mine was an angel’s portion then, For while I fed with eager haste, The crust was manna to my taste. I spied him where a fountain burst Clear from the rock; his strength was gone. The heedless water mocked his thirst; He heard it, saw it hurrying on. I ran and raised the suff’rer up; Thrice from the stream he drained my cup, Dipped and returned it running o’er; I drank and never thirsted more. ’Twas night; the floods were out; it blew A winter hurricane aloof. I heard his voice abroad and flew To bid him welcome to my roof. I warmed and clothed and cheered my guest And laid him on my couch to rest; Then made the earth my bed, and seemed In Eden’s garden while I dreamed. Stripped, wounded, beaten nigh to death, I found him by the highway side. I roused his pulse, brought back his breath, Revived his spirit, and supplied Wine, oil, refreshment—he was healed. I had myself a wound concealed, But from that hour forgot the smart, And peace bound up my broken heart. In pris’n I saw him next, condemned To meet a traitor’s doom at morn. The tide of lying tongues I stemmed, And honored him ’mid shame and scorn. My friendship’s utmost zeal to try, He asked if I for him would die. The flesh was weak; my blood ran chill, But my free spirit cried, “I will!” Then in a moment to my view The stranger started from disguise. The tokens in His hands I knew; The Savior stood before mine eyes. He spake, and my poor name He named, “Of Me thou hast not been ashamed. These deeds shall thy memorial be; Fear not, thou didst them unto Me.”

Delivered thus from Satan’s snare He starts, as from a sleep; His Savior’s look he could not bear, But hasted forth to weep. But sure the faithful cock had crowed A hundred times in vain; Had not the Lord that look bestowed, The meaning to explain.

Lo, here I fall, my Savior! ’Tis I deserve Thy place; Look on me with Thy favor, vouchsafe to me Thy grace.

O Lord of Life, desiring Thy glory now to see, Beside Thy cross expiring, I’d breathe my soul to Thee. My Savior, be Thou near me when death is at my door; Then let Thy presence cheer me, forsake me nevermore! When soul and body languish, oh, leave me not alone, But take away mine anguish by virtue of Thine own!

In the grave they laid Him, Love Whom we had slain, Thinking that He’d never wake to life again, Laid in the earth like grain that sleeps unseen: Love is come again, like wheat that springs up green. Up He sprang at Easter, like the risen grain, He that for three days in the grave had lain; Up from the dead my risen Lord is seen: Love is come again, like wheat that springs up green. When our hearts are saddened, grieving or in pain, By Your touch You call us back to life again; Fields of our hearts that dead and bare have been: Love is come again, like wheat that springs up green.

• [Mat 27:64] Sealed Was The Tomb

  Sealed was the tomb, guarded by soldiers, Brightly the moonlight shone around; Roadway and hill gleamed in the brightness, Flooded with light the garden’s bound. Brighter the light seen ’neath the olives; Forms bright as sunlight, ’mid the trees, Soldiers were there, clad as for warfare; Lo! they are gone, and who are these? See yonder, hast’ning to the city, The trembling soldiers in terror go! Earthquake astounding, strange light surrounding, Drive them away these things to show. Refrain O wonderful light in the garden, That fadeth not away! The King Who was laid in the shadow With vict’ry is crowned this glorious day. Darkly they plan; falsely as darkly, Stories that He was borne away— Borne by His friends, poor weak disciples, Stol’n when the moon was bright as day! Soldiers of Rome ne’er slept on duty, False was the tale for silver told; Death could not hold that mighty Victor! Lift up your heads, ye gates of gold! The morn of glory hath awakened, And death no longer holds boundless pow’r; Empty the prison, Jesus has risen; Time hath no richer, grander hour. Refrain

• [Mat 27:66] Lift Up, Lift Up Your Voices Now

  Lift up, lift up your voices now! The whole wide world rejoices now; The Lord has triumphed gloriously, The Lord shall reign victoriously. In vain with stone the cave they barred; In vain the watch kept ward and guard; Majestic from the spoilèd tomb, In pomp of triumph Christ is come. And all He did, and all He bare, He gives us as our own to share; And hope, and joy and peace begin, For Christ has won, and man shall win. O Victor, aid us in the fight, And lead through death to realms of light; We safely pass where Thou hast trod; In Thee we die to rise to God. Thy flock, from sin and death set free, Glad alleluias raise to Thee; And ever with the heavenly host Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

• [Mat 27:66] Wake, Sweetest Strain

  Low in the grave they had buried Christ the Savior; Dark was the night round the silent guarded tomb, But with the dawn came a glow of heav’nly splendor Glory filled the earth dispelling gloom. Refrain Wake, sweetest strains of music! Telling out the story How from death the Savior rose To live forevermore. Wake, sweetest strains of music! Drive away all sadness Let your anthems ring from shore to shore. Close to the tomb were the soldiers vigil keeping, When from above came a form of dazzling light, Then He arose from the grave a mighty Victor Angels welcomed Him in robes of white. Refrain Joy to the world, let this day be filled with gladness— Wake sweetest strains join this happy Easter song, Peace shall abide for the grave has lost its terror Christ is risen—let His praise prolong.
