Sabbath

Author: Dr. Eli Corwin Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Welcome the day! arise and pay Lyrics: 1 Welcome the day! arise and pay Thy tribute to the Lord. Sing to his praise, in grateful lays, And feast upon his word. 2 Welcome the light that scatters night, Darkness and doubt dispels; Our ears shall greet the music sweet, Of solemn Sabbath bells. 3 Welcome the rest among the blest, The fainting spirit cries: Oh, when shall we the city see That's built above the skies? 4 If now so dear the Sabbaths here, What must they be above? Oh, that were joy without alloy, An ecstasy of love. Used With Tune: SABBATH

Jesus by the Sea

Author: Rev. Wm. O. Cushing Appears in 29 hymnals First Line: O I love to think of Jesus as he sat beside the sea Lyrics: 1 O I love to think of Jesus as he sat beside the sea, Where the waves were only murm'ring on the strand; When he sat within the boat, on the silver wave afloat Where he taught the waiting people on the land. O I love to think of Jesus by the sea, O I love to think of Jesus by the sea, And I love the precious Word, Which he spake to them that heard, While he taught the waiting people by the sea. 2 O I love to think of Jesus as he walked upon the sea, When the waves were rolling fearfully and grand; How the winds and waves were still, at the bidding of his will, While he bro't his loved disciples safe to land. O I love to think of Jesus by the sea, O I love to think of Jesus by the sea, How he walked upon the wave, His beloved ones to save, While he bro't them safely o'er the stormy sea. 3 O I love to think of Jesus as he walked beside the sea, Where the fishers spread their nets upon the shore; How he bade them follow him and forsake the paths of sin, And to be his true disciples evermore. O I love to think of Jesus by the sea, O I love to think of Jesus by the sea, And I long to leave my all, At my dear Redeemer's call, And his true disciple evermore to be. Used With Tune: [O I love to think of Jesus as he sat beside the sea]

The Ninety and Nine

Appears in 380 hymnals First Line: There were ninety and nine that safely lay Lyrics: 1 There were ninety and nine that safely lay In the shelter of the fold, But one had wandered far away, In the desert so lone and cold; Away on the mountains wild and bare, Away from the Shepherd’s tender care; Away on the mountains wild and bare, Away from the Shepherd's tender care. 2 Shepherd, hast thou not here thy ninety and nine; Are they not enough for thee? The Shepherd replied, "This one of mine, Has wandered away from me; The way may be wild and rough and steep, I go to the desert to find my sheep; The way may be wild and rough and steep, I go to the desert to find my sheep." 3 But none of the ransomed ever know How deep were the waters crossed, How dark was the night the Lord passed through Ere he found the sheep that was lost. Away in the desert he heard its cry, So feeble and helpless and ready to die; Away in the desert he heard its cry, So feeble and helpless and ready to die. 4 And afar up the mountain, thunder riven, And along the rocky steep, There arose the glad song of joy to heaven, "Rejoice, I have found my sheep!" And the angels echoed around the throne, "Rejoice, for the Lord brings back his own; And the angels echoed around the throne, "Rejoice, for the Lord brings back his own!" Used With Tune: [There were ninety and nine that safely lay]

Mount of thy redeeming love. 2 Oh! to grace how great a debtor Daily I'm constrained to be; Let that grace, Lord, like a fetter, Bind my wandering heart to thee; Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it; Prone to leave the God I love; Here's my heart; Lord, take and seal it; Seal it from thy courts above.
