Only an armor-bearer

Lyrics: 1 Only an armer-bearer, proudly I stand, Waiting to follow at the King's command; Marching if "onward" shall the order be, Standing by my Captain, serving faithfully. Chorus: Hear ye the battle cry! "Forward," the call! See! see the faltering ones! backward they fall! Surely the Captain may depend on me, Tho' but an armor-bearer I may be. Surely the Captain may depend on me, Tho' but an armor-bearer I may be. 2 Only an armor-bearer, now in the field, Guarding a shining helmet, sword, and shield, Waiting to hear the thrilling battle-cry, Ready then to answer, "Master, here am I."

He Carries the Lambs in His Bosom

Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: A sweet, golden head had forgotten life's way Lyrics: 1 A sweet, golden head had forgotten life's way, Asleep on its pillow of roses, Wee hands shutting close as if tired of play, Like buds which the summer discloses; The beautiful song of my birdie was still, And over the lips of my blossom The disciples lay white as the frost on the rill, When a spirit sang low in my spirit at will, "He carries the lambs in his bosom, He carries the lambs in his bosom." 2 There's never a lamb from love's sorrowful fold But wanders in fields that are vernal, And never a bud hid away from the cold But blooms in the summer eternal; When storms sweep the hill, and the night gathers deep, I think of my paradise blossom; I hear the same song for the weary that weep, The weakest are safest, for over the steep, "He carries the lambs in his bosom, He carries the lambs in his bosom." Used With Tune: [A sweet, golden head had forgotten life's way]

There's a Light in the Valley

Author: P. P. Bliss Appears in 16 hymnals First Line: Thro' the valley of the shadow I must go Lyrics: 1 Thro' the valley of the shadow I must go, Where the cold waves of Jordan roll; But the promise of my Shepherd will I know, Be the rod and the staff to my soul. Even now down the valley as I glide, I can hear my Savior say, “Follow me!” And with him I’m not afraid to cross the tide, There’s a light in the valley for me. There’s a light in the valley, There’s a light in the valley, There’s a light in the valley for me, And no evil will I fear, While my Shepherd is so near, There’s a light in the valley for me. 2 Now the rolling of the billows I can hear, As they beat on the turf-bound shore; But the beacon light of love so bright and clear, Guides my bark, frail and lone, safely o’er. I shall find down the valley no alarms, For my Savior’s blessed smile I can see; He will bear me in his loving, mighty arms, There’s a light in the valley for me. There’s a light in the valley, There’s a light in the valley, There’s a light in the valley for me, And no evil will I fear, While my Shepherd is so near, There’s a light in the valley for me.
