Lyrics to Hymns

His Eye is on the Sparrow

Why should I feel discouraged and why should the shadows come?
Why should my heart be lonely and long for heaven and home?
When Jesus is my portion, a constant Friend is He,
His eye is on the sparrow and I know He watches me.

I sing because I'm happy; And I sing because I'm free;
His eye is on the sparrow and I know He watches over me. 

Don't you know that I sing because I'm so happy? And I sing because I'm free;
His eye is on the sparrow and I know that He watches over me. 

His eye is on the sparrow and I know He watches me. 

At Calvary/At the Cross

Years I spent in vanity and pride,
Caring not my Lord was crucified,
Knowing not it was for me He died, on Calvary.

Mercy there was great, and grace was free;
Pardon there was multiplied to me;
There my burdened soul found liberty, at Calvary.

Oh, the love that drew salvation’s plan!
Oh, the grace that brought it down to man!
Oh, the mighty gulf that God did span, at Calvary.

Mercy there was great, and grace was free;
Pardon there was multiplied to me;
There my burdened soul found liberty, at Calvary.

Mercy there was great, and grace was free;
Pardon there was multiplied to me;
There my burdened soul found liberty, at Calvary.

Alas! and did my Savior bleed,
and did my Sovereign die!
Would he devote that sacred head
for such a wretch as I?

At the cross, at the cross
Where I first saw the light,
And the burden of my heart rolled away,
It was there by faith I received my sight,
And now I am happy all the day!

At the cross, at the cross
Where I first saw the light,
And the burden of my heart rolled away,
It was there by faith I received my sight,
And now I am happy all the day!

It was there by faith I received my sight,
And now I am happy all the day!

Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus/Blessed Assurance/Farther Along

Turn your eyes upon Jesus, 
Look full in His wonderful face, 
And the things of earth will grow strangely dim, 
In the light of His glory and grace.

Blesed assurance, Jesus is mine;
Oh, what a foretaste of glory divine!
Heir of salvation, purchase of God,
Born of His Spirit, washed in His blood.

This is my story, this is my song,
Praising my Savior all the day long.
This is my story, this is my song,
Praising my Savior all the day long.

Farther along we’ll know all about it,
Farther along we’ll understand why;
Cheer up, don't worry, live in the sunshine,
We’ll understand it all by and by.

This is my story, this is my song,
Praising my Savior all the day long.
This is my story, this is my song,
Praising my Savior all the day long.

Praising my Savior all the day long.

In the Garden
I come to the garden alone,
While the dew is still on the roses;
And the voice I hear, falling on my ear,
The Son of God discloses.

And He walks with me, and He talks with me,
And He tells me I am His own, 
And the joy we share as we tarry there, 
None other has ever known.

He speaks, and the sound of His voice
Is so sweet the birds hush their singing;
And the melody that He gave to me
Within my heart is ringing.

And He walks with me, and He talks with me,
And He tells me I am His own, 
And the joy we share as we tarry there, 
None other has ever known.

And the joy we share as we tarry there,
None other has ever known. 

Wayfaring Stranger

I am a poor wayfaring stranger
Traveling through this world of woe
There's no sickness toil nor danger
In that bright land to which I go

I'm going there to see my father
I'm going there no more to roam
I'm only going over Jordan
I'm only going over home

I know dark clouds will gather over me
I know my way my way is rough and steep
Yet beautiful fields lie just before me
And God's redeemed their vigils keep

I'm going there to see my mother
I'm going there no more to roam
I'm only going over Jordan
I'm only going over home

I want to wear that crown of glory
When I get home to that good land
I want to shout salvation's story
In concert with the blood-washed band

I'm going there to see my Savior
Who shed for me His precious blood
I'm only going over Jordan
I'm only going over home

I'm only going over home

Amazing Grace

Amazing grace! how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch; like me!
I once was lost, but now I'm found,
I was blind, but now I see.

’Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
And grace my fears relieved;
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed!

When we've been there ten thousand years, 
Bright shining as the sun,
We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise
Than when we first begun.

We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise
Than when we first begun.

Power in the Blood

Would you be free from your burden of sin?
There's power in the blood, power in the blood;
Would you o'er evil a victory win?
There's wonderful power in the blood.

There is power, power, wonder-working power 
In the blood of the Lamb 
There is power, power, wonder-working power 
In the precious blood of the Lamb.

Would you be free from your passion and pride?
There's power in the blood, power in the blood;
Come for a cleansing to Calvary's tide- 
There's wonderful power in the blood.

There is power, power, wonder-working power 
In the blood of the Lamb 
There is power, power, wonder-working power 
In the precious blood of the Lamb.

There is power, power, wonder-working power 
In the blood of the Lamb 
There is power, power, wonder-working power 
In the precious blood of the Lamb.

In the precious blood of the Lamb.

This is My Father’s World

This is my Father's world,
And to my listening ears
All nature sings, and round me rings
The music of the spheres.

This is my Father's world:
The birds their carols raise,
The morning light, the lily white,
Declare their Maker's praise.

This is my Father's world:
I rest me in the thought
Of rocks and trees, of skies and seas--
His hand the wonders wrought.

This is my Father's world:
O let me ne'er forget 
That though the wrong seems oft so strong, 
God is the Ruler yet.

This is my Father's world:
Why should my heart be sad?
The Lord is King: let the heavens ring!
God reigns; let earth be glad!

This is my Father's world:
He shines in all that’s fair
In rustling grass, I hear Him pass--
He speaks to me everywhere

In rustling grass, I hear Him pass--
He speaks to me everywhere

My Jesus I Love Thee/Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing/There is a Fountain

My Jesus I love Thee, I know Thou art mine
For Thee all the follies of sin I resign
My gracious Redeemer, my Savior art Thou
If ever I loved Thee my Jesus 'tis now

Come Thou fount of every blessing
Tune my heart to sing Thy grace
Streams of mercy never ceasing
Call for songs of loudest praise

Teach me some melodious sonnet
Sung by flaming tongues above
Praise the mount, I'm fixed upon it
Mount of Thy redeeming love

There is a fountain filled with blood
Drawn from Immanuel’s veins;
And sinners, plunged beneath that flood,
Lose all their guilty stains: 

Lose all their guilty stains, Lose all their guilty stains;
And sinners, plunged beneath that flood,
Lose all their guilty stains.

E’er since by faith I saw the stream
Thy flowing wounds supply,
Redeeming love has been my theme,
And shall be till I die:   

And shall be till I die, And shall be till I die;
Redeeming love has been my theme,
And shall be till I die.

Redeeming love has been my theme,
And shall be till I die.

The Unclouded Day/Leaning on the Everlasting Arms

Oh, they tell me of a home far beyond the skies
Oh, they tell me of a home far away 
Oh, they tell me of a home where no storm clouds rise 
Oh, they tell me of an unclouded day

Oh, the land of a cloudless day
Oh, the land of an uncloudy sky 
Oh, they tell me of a home where no storm clouds rise 
Oh, they tell me of an unclouded day

Oh, they tell me of a home where my friends have gone
And they tell me of a land far away 
And they tell me that no tears ever come again 
In that lovely land of unclouded day

Oh, the land of a cloudless day
Oh, the land of an uncloudy sky 
Oh, they tell me of a home where no storm clouds rise 
Oh, they tell me of an unclouded day

What a fellowship, what a joy divine,
leaning on the everlasting arms;
what a blessedness, what a peace is mine,
leaning on the everlasting arms.

Leaning, leaning,
safe and secure from all alarms;
Leaning, leaning,
leaning on the everlasting arms.

What have I to dread, what have I to fear,
leaning on the everlasting arms?
I have blessed peace with my Lord so near,
leaning on the everlasting arms. 

Leaning, leaning,
safe and secure from all alarms;
Leaning, leaning,
leaning on the everlasting arms.

Leaning, yes, I'm leaning,
safe and secure from all alarms;
Leaning, leaning,
leaning on the everlasting arms.

…. leaning on the ever la…sting… arms

Battle Hymn of the Republic

Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord
He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored
He hath loosed the fateful lightning of His terrible swift sword

His truth is marching on

Glory, Glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
His truth is marching on

In the beauty of the lilies Christ was born across the sea
With a glory in His bosom that transfigures you and me
As He died to make men holy, let us die to make men free

While God is marching on

Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
His truth is marching on, His truth is marching on…

Glory, Glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
His truth is marching on

Glory, Glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
His truth is marching on

His truth is marching on!
