The Bible

Appears in 90 hymnals First Line: The Bible! the Bible! more precious than gold Refrain First Line: The Bible! the Bible! so dear to the heart Lyrics: 1 The Bible! the Bible! more precious than gold, The hopes and the glories its pages unfold; It speaks of redemption--wide opens the door-- It offers salvation to rich and to poor. Chorus: The Bible! the Bible! so dear to the heart, A volume so precious we'll ne'er from it part. 2 The Bible! the Bible! blest volume of truth, How sweetly it smiles on the season of youth; Ere hearts are enslaved in the bondage of vice, It bids us seek early the "pearl of great price." [Chorus] 3 The Bible! the Bible! the valleys shall ring, And hill tops reecho the notes that we sing; Our banners inscribed with its precepts and rules, Shall long wave in triumph the joy of our schools. [Chorus] Used With Tune: [The Bible! the Bible! more precious than gold]

If Papa Were Only Ready

Author: P. P. Bliss Appears in 11 hymnals First Line: I should like to die, said Willie, if my papa could die too Lyrics: 1 I should like to die, said Willie, if my papa could die too; But he says he isn’t ready, ’cause he has so much to do; And my little sister Nellie says that I must surely die, And that she and mama--then she stopp'd, because it made me cry, And that she and mama--then she stopp'd, because it made me cry 2 But she told me, I remember, once while sitting on her knee, That the angels never weary, watching over her and me; And that if we’re good--(and mama told me just the same before,) They will let us into heaven when they see us at the door, They will let us into heaven when they see us at the door. 3 There I know I shall be happy, and will always want to stay; I shall love to hear the singing, I shall love the endless day; I shall love to look at Jesus, I shall love Him more and more, And I’ll gather water-lilies for the angel at the door; And I’ll gather water-lilies for the angel at the door. 4 There will be none but the holy--I shall know no more of sin Though I’ll see mama and Nellie, for I know he’ll let them in, But I’ll have to tell the angel, when I meet him at the door, That he must excuse my papa, 'cause he couldn’t leave the store. That he must excuse my papa, ’cause he couldn’t leave the store. 5 Nellie says, that may be I shall very soon be called away; If papa were only ready, I should like to go to-day; But if I should go before him to that world of light and joy, Then I guess he’d want to come to Heaven to see his little boy. Then I guess he’d want to come to Heaven to see his little boy. Used With Tune: [I should like to die, said Willie, if my paper could die too]

Waiting and Watching for Me

Appears in 19 hymnals First Line: When my final farewell to the world I have said Refrain First Line: Be waiting and watching Lyrics: 1 When my final farewell to the world I have said, And gladly lie down to my rest; When softly the watchers shall say, "He is dead," And fold my pale hands o'er my breast; And when, with my glorified vision, at last The walls of "That City" I see, Will any one then at the beautiful gate, Be waiting and watching for me? Will any one then, at the beautiful gate, Be waiting and watching for me? Be waiting and watching, Be waiting and watching for me. Be waiting and watching, Be waiting and watching for me. 2 There are little ones glancing about in my path, In want of a friend and a guide; There are dear little eyes looking up into mine, Whose tears might be easily dried. But Jesus may beckon the children away In the midst of their grief and their glee-- Will any of them, at the beautiful gate Be waiting and watching for me? Will any of them, at the beautiful gate, Be waiting and watching for me? Be waiting and watching, Be waiting and watching for me. Be waiting and watching, Be waiting and watching for me. 3 There are old and forsaken who linger awhile In homes which their dearest have left; And a few gentle words or an action of love May cheer their sad spirits bereft. But the Reaper is near to the long standing corn, The weary will soon be set free-- Will any of them, at the beautiful gate Be waiting and watching for me? Will any of them, at the beautiful gate Be waiting and watching for me? Be waiting and watching, Be waiting and watching for me. Be waiting and watching, Be waiting and watching for me. 4 Oh, should I be brought there by the bountiful grace Of him who delights to forgive, Though I bless not the weary about in my path, Pray only for self while I live,-- Methinks I should mourn o'er my sinful neglect, If sorrow in heaven could be, Should no one I love, at the beautiful gate Be waiting and watching for me! Should no one I love, at the beautiful gate, Be waiting and watching for me. Be waiting and watching, Be waiting and watching for me. Be waiting and watching, Be waiting and watching for me.
