Hymnal: JW1878 #131 (1879) First Line: Jesus, my all, to heaven is gone Lyrics: 1 Jesus, my all, to heaven is gone, He, whom I fix my hopes upon; His track I see, and I'll pursue The narrow way till him I view. The way the holy prophets went-- The road that leads from banishment,-- The King's highway of holiness, I'll go, for all his paths are peace. 2 This is the way I long have sought, And mourned because I found it not; My grief a burden long has been, Because I was not saved from sin. The more I strove against its power, I felt its weight and guilt the more; Till late I heard my Savior say, Come hither, soul, I am the way. 3 Lo! glad I come; and thou, blest Lamb, Shalt take me to thee as I am; Nothing but sin have I to give-- Nothing but love shall I receive. Then will I tell to sinners round What a dear Savior I have found; I'll point to thy redeeming blood, And say, Behold the way to God. Languages: English Tune Title: [Jesus, my all, to heaven is gone]

Deliverance Will Come

Author: Rev. W. McDonald Hymnal: JW1878 #133 (1879) First Line: I saw a way-worn trav'ler Refrain First Line: Then palms of victory Lyrics: 1 I saw a way-worn trav'ler, In tattered garments clad, And, struggling up the mountain, It seemed that he was sad. His back was laden heavy, His strength was almost gone, Yet he shouted as he journeyed, "Deliverance will come!" Chorus: Then palms of victory, Crowns of glory, Palms of victory I shall wear. 2 The summer sun was shining, The sweat was on his brow, His garments worn and dusty, His step seemed very slow; But he kept pressing onward, For he was wending home, Still shouting as he journeyed, "Deliverance will come!" [Chorus] 3 I saw him in the evening, The sun was bending low, He'd overtopped the mountain And reached the vale below: He saw the golden city,-- His everlasting home,-- And shouted loud, Hosanna, "Deliverance will come!" [Chorus] 4 I heard the song of triumph They sang upon that shore, Saying, Jesus has redeemed us To suffer nevermore; Then, casting his eyes backward On the race which he had run, He shouted loud, "Hosanna, Deliverance has come!" [Chorus] Languages: English Tune Title: [I saw a way-worn trav'ler]

Let Me Go

Hymnal: JW1878 #134 (1879) First Line: Let me go where saints are going Refrain First Line: Let me go, 'tis Jesus calls me Lyrics: 1 Let me go where saints are going, To the mansions of the blest; Let me go where my Redeemer Has prepared his people's rest I would gain those realms of brightness Where they dwell for evermore; I would join the friends that wait me Over on the other shore. Chorus: Let me go, 'tis Jesus calls me; Let me gain the realms of day; Bear me over angel pinions, Longs my soul to be away. 2 Let me go where none are weary, Where is raised no wail of woe; Let me go and bathe my spirit In the raptures angels know; Let me go, for bliss eternal Lures my soul away, away, And the victor's song triumphant Thrills my heart--I can not stay. [Chorus] 3 Let me go where tears and sighing Are for evermore unknown, Where the joyous songs of glory Call me to a happier home. Let me go--I'd cease this dying, I would gain life's fairer plains; Let me join the myriad harpers, Let me chant their rapturous strains. [Chorus] Languages: English

The Night Cometh

Hymnal: JW1878 #135 (1879) First Line: Work, for the night is coming Lyrics: 1 Work, for the night is coming, Work through the morning hours; Work while the dew is sparkling, Work 'mid springing flowers; Work when the day grows brighter, Work in the glowing sun; Work, for the night is coming, When man's work is done. 2 Work, for the night is coming, Work through the sunny noon; Fill brightest hours with labor, Rest comes sure and soon. Give every flying minute Something to keep in store; Work, for the night is coming, When man works no more. 3 Work, for the night is coming, Under the sunset skies; While their bright tints are glowing, Work, for the daylight flies. Work till the last beam fadeth, Fadeth to shine no more; Work while the night is darkening, When man's work is o'er. Languages: English

Love passing Knowledge

Hymnal: JW1878 #138 (1879) First Line: Of him who did salvation bring Lyrics: 1 Of him who did salvation bring, I could forever think and sing; Arise, ye needy,--he'll relieve; Arise, ye guilty, he'll forgive. 2 'Tis thee I love, for thee alone I shed my tears and make my moan; Where'er I am, where'er I move, I meet the object of my love. 3 Insatiate to this spring I fly; I drink, and yet am ever dry: Ah! who against thy charms is proof?
