267 (G) RH 520 MP 356
There's within my heart a melody,
Jesus whispers sweet and low:
Fear not, I am with you peace be still,
In all of life's ebb and flow.
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus,
Sweetest name I know,
Fills my ev'ry longing,
Keeps me singing as I go.
2) All my life was wrecked by sin and strife,
Discord filled my heart with pain,
Jesus swept across the broken strings
Stirred the slumb'ring chords again.
3) Feasting on the riches of His grace,
Resting 'neath His shelt'ring wing,
Always looking on His smiling face,
That is why I shout and sing.
4) Though sometimes He leads
Through waters deep,
Trials fall across the way,
Though sometimes
The path seems rough and steep,
See His footprints all the way.
5) Soon He's coming back to welcome me;
Far beyond the starry sky;
I shall wing my flight to worlds unknown,
I shall reign with Him on high.
268 (Bb) MP 474 OB 167
On a hill far away, stood an old rugged cross,
The emblem of suff'ring and shame;
And I love that old cross
Where the dearest and best
For a world of lost sinners was slain.
So I'll cherish the old rugged cross,
Till my trophies at last I lay down;
I will cling to the old rugged cross
And exchange it some day for a crown.
2) Oh, that old rugged cross,
So despised by the world
Has a wondrous attraction for me;
For the dear Lamb of God,
Left His glory above,
To bear it to dark Calvary.
3) In the old rugged cross,
Stained with blood so divine,
A wondrous beauty I see;
For 'twas on that old cross
Jesus suffered and died
To pardon and sanctify me.
4) To the old rugged cross
I will ever be true;
Its shame and reproach gladly bear;
Then He'll call me some day
To my home far away,
Where His glory forever I'll share.

269 (G) MP 411
I thirsted in a barren land of sin and shame
And nothing satisfying there I found
But to the blessed cross of Christ
One day I came
Where springs of living water did abound.
Chorus:
Drinking at the springs of living water
Happy now am I, my soul is satisfied
Drinking at the springs of living water
O wonderful and bountiful supply.
2) How sweet the living water
From the hills of God
It makes me glad and happy all the way
Now glory, grace and blessing
Mark the path I've trod
I'm shouting hallelujah every day.
3) O sinner won't you come today to Calvary
A fountain there is flowing deep and wide
The Saviour now invites you
To the water free
Where thirsting spirits can be satisfied.
270 (F)
O what a wonderful, wonderful day
Day I will never forget
After I wandered in darkness away
Jesus my Saviour I met.
O what a tender compassionate Friend
He met the need of my heart,
Shadows dispelling with joy I am telling
He made all the darkness depart.
Chorus:
Heaven came down and glory filled my soul
When at the cross
The Saviour made me whole,
My sins were washed away,
And my night was turned to day
Heaven came down
And glory filled my soul.
2) Born of the Spirit with life from above
Into God's family divine
Justified fully through Calvary's love
O what a standing is mine.
And the transaction so quickly was made
When as a sinner I came,
Took of the offer of grace He did proffer
He saved me, O praise His dear name.
3) Now I've a hope that will surely endure
After the passing of time,
I have a future in heaven for sure
There in those mansions sublime.
And it's because of that wonderful day
When at the cross I believed
Riches eternal and blessings supernal
From His precious hand I received.
