Kynett

Author: Montgomery Appears in 40 hymnals First Line: God shall charge his angel legions Lyrics: 1 God shall charge his angel legions Watch and ward o'er thee to keep; Tho' thou walk thro' hostile regions, Tho' in desert wilds thou sleep; On the lion vainly roaring, On his young thy foot shall tread, And the dragon's den exploring, Thou shalt bruise the serpent's head. 2 Since with pure and firm affection Thou on God hast set thy love, With the wings of his protection He will shield thee from above; Thou shalt call on him in trouble, He will hearken, he will save; Here for grief reward thee double, Crown with life beyond the grave.

The Heavenly Canaan

Guide

Leave us not to doubt and fear, Groping on in darkness drear. When the storms are raging sore, Hearts grow faint and hopes give o'er, Whisper softly, wanderer, come! Follow me, I'll guide thee home. 3 When our days of toil shall cease, Waiting still for sweet release, Nothing left but heaven and prayer, Wond'ring if our names are there; Wading deep the dismal flood, Pleading naught but Jesus' blood; Whisper softly, wanderer, come! Follow me I'll guide thee home. Used With Tune: [Holy Spirit, faithful Guide]

O, let the dear Savior come in, He'll cleanse the heart from sin; O keep him no more, out at the door, But let the dear Savior come in. 2 O lovely attitude he stands With melting heart and loaded hands; O matchless, kindness and he shows This matchless kindness to his foes. O, let the dear Savior come in, He'll cleanse the heart from sin; O keep him no more, out at the door, But let the dear Savior come in. 3 But will he prove a friend indeed? He will the very friend you need. The friend of sinners? Yes, 'tis he, With garments dyed on Calvary. O, let the dear Savior come in, He'll cleanse the heart from sin; O keep him no more, out at the door, But let the dear Savior come in. 4 Rise, touched with gratitude divine; Turn out his enemy and thine; That soul-destroying monster, sin, And let the heavenly Stranger in. O, let the dear Savior come in, He'll cleanse the heart from sin; O keep him no more, out at the door, But let the dear Savior come in. 5 Admit him, ere his anger burn His feet, departed, ne'er return; Admit him, or the hour's at hand, You'll at his door rejected stand. O, let the dear Savior come in, He'll cleanse the heart from sin; O keep him no more, out at the door, But let the dear Savior come in.
