He Saved Me

Appears in 4 hymnals First Line: I was once far away from the Saviour

Appears in 2,928 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Rock of Ages, cleft for me, Let me hide myself in Thee; Let the water and the blood, From Thy wounded side which flowed, Be of sin the double cure, Save from wrath and make me pure. 2. Could my tears forever flow, Could my zeal no languor know, These for sin could not atone; Thou must save, and thou alone; In my hand no price I bring; Simply to the cross I cling. 3. While I draw this fleeting breath, When my eyes shall close in death, When I rise to worlds unknown, And behold thee on thy throne, Rock of Ages, cleft for me, Let me hide myself in Thee.

Stand By Me

Author: C.A. Tindley Appears in 59 hymnals First Line: When the storms of life are raging, stand by me Lyrics: 1. When the storms of life are raging, stand by me; when the storms of life are raging, stand by me. When the world is tossing me like a ship upon the sea, thou who rulest wind and water, Ssand by me. 2. In the midst of tribulation, stand by me; in the midst of tribulation, stand by me. When the hosts of hell assail, and my strength begins to fail, thou who never lost a battle, stand by me. 3. In the midst of faults and failures, stand by me; in the midst of faults and failures, stand by me. When I do the best I can, and my friends misunderstand, thou who knowest all about me, stand by me. 4. In the midst of persecution, stand by me; in the midst of persecution, stand by me. When my foes in battle array undertake to stop my way, thou who saved Paul and Silas, stand by me. 5. When I’m growing old and feeble, stand by me; when I’m growing old and feeble, stand by me. When my life becomes a burden, and I’m nearing chilly Jordan, O thou “Lily of the Valley,” stand by me. Used With Tune: [When the storms of life are raging]

My Secret of Joy

Author: C. A. Tindley Appears in 4 hymnals First Line: You ask me where I get the joys Refrain First Line: Hallelujah! I belong to the King Lyrics: 1. You ask me where I get the joys That make my heart so light, Which all the gloom of day destroys And gives me songs at night. Chorus: Hallelujah! I belong to the King, I am saved now, and I have a right to sing, For the light from heaven fills my soul, And the night has passed away. 2. It is not wealth or land or gold, Nor health or honored fame, But joys of heaven in my soul A heav'n in Jesus' name. 3. I once was full of anxious fear, I tried, but failed to see, That all I needed was so near The Christ that died for me. 4. I counted much upon my state, Of goodness, sense, and birth, These only added to my fate, They had no place or worth. 5. I then gave up myself and all, And trusted to His care, Who sees the sparrows e'er they fall, And left my burden there. 6. I wish I had the tongue to tell, The comfort then was given, How my poor soul was brought from hell, And car'ied almost to heav'n. Used With Tune: [You ask me where I get the joys]

I Have Found at Last a Saviour

Author: C.A. Tindley Appears in 5 hymnals First Line: I have found at last the Saviour Lyrics: 1. I have found at last the Saviour, Of whom I've often heard, And I have the precious favor, He has promised in His word; O the joy that comes to me, And the pow'r that makes me free, My soul is filled with praises, 'Tis the year of jubilee. 2. I have promised I would follow, However rough the way, Leaving all things of tomorrow, I will trust Him just today; For the morning doth appear, Which will banish ev'ry fear, I shall see the land of Beulah, With my eyes undimmed by tears. 3. Christ is now my sum of pleasure, Counting all things else but dross, I have found my richest treasure, Around the sacred cross; My soul is satisfied, Forever to abide In Thy cleft, O Rock of Ages, Where no harm can e'er betide. 4. Should the world in arms confront me, Though the host of hell combine, In His name I'll win the vict'ry, With his word the conqueror's sign. Our Lord forever reigns, And to His dazzling train, He has bound the fate of nations, And His kingdom He'll maintain. 5. By and by when war is over, And the saints are gath'ring home, In the presence of Jehovah, Where the pilgrim ne'er shall roam; My Jesus will be there, His glory I shall share, He will introduce my spirit, To His Father as an heir.

Some Day

Author: C. A. Tindley Appears in 21 hymnals First Line: Beams of heaven, as I go Refrain First Line: I do now know how long 'twill be, nor what the future holds for me Lyrics: 1. Beams of heaven, as I go, Thro' this wilderness below, Guide my feet in peaceful ways, Turn my midnights into days; When in the darkness I would grope, Faith always sees a star of hope, And soon from all life's grief and danger, I shall be free someday. Chorus: I do not know how long 'twill be, nor what the future holds for me, but this I know, if Jesus leads me, I shall get home some day. 2. Oftentimes my sky is clear, Joy abounds without a tear, Though a day so bright begun, Clouds may hide tomorrow's sun. There'll be a day that's always bright, A day that never yields to night, And in its light the streets of glory I shall behold someday. 3. Harder yet may be the fight, Right may often yield to might, Wickedness awhile may reign, Satan's cause may seem to gain, There is a God that rules above, With hand of pow'r and heart of love; If I am right, He'll fight my battle, I shall have peace some day. 4. Burdens now may crush me down, Disappointments all around, Troubles speak in mournful sigh, Sorrow through a tear-stain'd eye. There is a world where pleasure reigns, No mourning soul shall roam its plains, And to that land of peace and glory I want to go some day. Used With Tune: [Beams of heaven, as I go]

Author: C. A. Tindley Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: When the pathway of duty seems with danger fill'd Refrain First Line: I will go, I will go Lyrics: 1.

Tho' my strength is weak, by His grace I will seek To repose like Mary at the Savior's feet; Then to climb to the heights of the pure delight, I will go, if my Father holds my hand. 4. When in the vale of sorrow I am call'd to go, And it seems each tomorrow simply brings another woe. I am satisfied to follow where He leads, this I know, I will go, if my Father holds my hand. 5. When the awful waves of Jordan beat upon my soul, In the icy hands of death my limbs are growing cold I have nothing then to fear if my Lord is near, I will go, if my Father holds my hand.
