Overcoming Faith

Hymnal: JW1878 #161 (1879) First Line: Oh for a faith that will not shrink Lyrics: 1 Oh for a faith that will not shrink, Though press'd by every foe, That will not tremble on the brink Of any earthly woe;-- 2 A faith that shines more bright and clear When tempests rage without; That when in danger knows no fear, In darkness feels no doubt;-- 3 A faith that keeps the narrow way Till life's last hour is fled, And with a pure and heavenly ray Illumes a dying bed. 4 Lord, give us such a faith as this, And then, whate'er may come, We'll taste, e'en here, the hallow'd bliss Of an eternal home.

A Perfect Heart

Hymnal: JW1878 #162 (1879) First Line: Oh for a heart to praise my God Lyrics: 1 Oh for a heart to praise my God, A heart from sin set free;-- A heart that always feels thy blood, So freely spilt for me. 2 A heart resign'd, submissive, meek, My great Redeemer's throne; Where only Christ is heard to speak, Where Jesus reigns alone. 3 A heart in every thought renewed, And full of love divine; Perfect, and right, and pure, and good, A copy, Lord, of thine. 4 Thy nature, gracious Lord, impart; Come quickly from above; Write thy new name upon my heart, Thy new, best name of Love.

The Heavenly Canaan

Hymnal: JW1878 #163 (1879) First Line: There is a land of pure delight Lyrics: 1 There is a land of pure delight, Where saints immortal reign; Infinite day excludes the night, And pleasures banish pain. There everlasting spring abides, And never-with'ring flowers; Death, like a narrow sea, divides This heavenly land from ours. 2 Sweet fields beyond the swelling flood Stand dressed in living green; So to the Jews old Canaan stood, While Jordan roll'd between. Could we but climb where Moses stood, And view the landscape o'er, Not Jordan's stream, nor death's cold flood Should fright us from the shore. Languages: English Tune Title: VARINA

Assurance of Hope

Hymnal: JW1878 #164 (1879) First Line: How happy every child of grace Lyrics: 1 How happy every child of grace, That knows his sins forgiven! This earth, he cries, is not my place; I seek my place in heaven: A country far from mortal sight, Yet, oh, by faith I see The land of rest, the saints' delight, The heaven prepared for me. 2 Oh, what a blessed hope is ours! While here on earth we stay; We more than taste the heavenly powers, And antedate that day; We feel the resurrection near-- Our life in Christ concealed-- And with his glorious presence here Our earthen vessel's filled.

Refining Fire

Hymnal: JW1878 #165 (1879) First Line: Jesus, thine all-victorious love Lyrics: 1 Jesus, thine all-victorious love Shed in my heart abroad: Then shall my feet no longer rove, Rooted and fixed in God. 2 Oh that it now from heaven might fall, And all my sins consume; Come, Holy Ghost, for thee I call; Spirit of burning, come. 3 Refining fire, go through my heart; Illuminate my soul; Scatter thy life through every part, And sanctify the whole. 4 My steadfast soul, from falling free, Shall then no longer move, While Christ is all the world to me, And all my heart is love.

Triumphant Joy

Hymnal: JW1878 #166 (1879) First Line: My God, the spring of all my joys Lyrics: 1 My God, the spring of all my joys, The life of my delights, The glory of my brightest days, And comfort of my nights. 2 In darkest shades, if thou appear, My dawning is begun; Thou art my soul's bright morning star, And thou my rising sun. 3 The opening heavens around me shine With beams of sacred bliss, If Jesus shows his mercy mine, And whispers I am his. 4 My soul would leave this heavy clay At that transporting word; Run up with joy the shining way, To see and praise my Lord.

The Church

Her walls before thee stand Dear as the apple of thine eye, And graven on thy hand. 3 For her my tears shall fall; For her my prayers ascend; To her my cares and toils be given, Till toils and cares shall end. 4 Sure as thy truth shall last, To Zion shall be given The brightest glories earth can yield, And brighter bliss of heaven.

Free Salvation

Hymnal: JW1878 #169 (1879) First Line: I'm glad salvation's free Lyrics: 1 I'm glad salvation's free, And without price or cost; For had it been for me to buy, My soul must have been lost. 2 In this cold world below, With none to care for me, A pilgrim often sad and lone, I'm glad salvation's free. 3 Once I was blind and lost, Of sin and sorrow full; But now I'm saved thro' Jesus' blood, I feel it in my soul. 4 And now I'm on my way To brighter worlds above; I hope to triumph evermore Through my Redeemer's love.
