276 (G)
If Jesus should come,
If Jesus should come,
I'd welcome the call from on high;
There's nothing can hold me,
No money nor home,
I'd leave without saying goodbye.
Chorus:
I'm longing to go, I'm longing to go,
When the trumpet shall sound
From those mansions on high,
I'll leave without saying goodbye.
2) I've laid aside weights,
I've washed my robes white,
And the blood's flowing over my soul;
The way is so dark, and so long is the night
But faith keeps its eye on the goal.
3) I'm tired of things earthly,
Everything here,
There's nothing can hold me I know;
This world is a wilderness,
Nought I hold dear,
I'm longing, just longing to go.
4) You laugh at me now,
But some day you will long,
To have chosen your lot with me here;
You will wish for a mansion,
A robe and a crown,
But 'twill be too late then I fear.
277 (Eb) MP 468
On the cross crucified
In great sorrow He died
The Giver of life was He;
Yet my Lord was despised,
And rejected of men,
This Jesus of Calvary.
Chorus:
He was wounded for our transgressions,
He was bruised for our iniquities,
Surely He bore our sorrows,
And by His stripes we are healed.
2) Price for healing was paid
As those cruel stripes were made;
Within Pilate's judgement hall,
Now His suff'ring affords
Perfect healing for all
This wonderful Healer is mine.
3) He has healed my sick soul,
Made me ev'ry whit whole,
And He'll do the same for you,,
He's the same yesterday,
And today and forever,
This Healer of men today.

I've wandered far away from God,
Now I'm coming home;
The paths of sin too long I've trod,
Lord, I'm coming home.
Chorus:
Coming home, coming home,
Never more to roam;
Open wide Thine arms of love,
Lord, I'm coming home.
2) I've wasted many precious years,
Now I'm coming home;
I now repent with bitter tears,
Lord, I'm coming home.
3) I'm tired of sin and straying, Lord,
Now I'm coming home;
I'll trust Thy love, believe Thy Word;
Lord, I'm coming home.
4) My soul is sick, my heart is sore,
Now I'm coming home;
My strength renew, my hope restore,
Lord, I'm coming home.
5) My only hope, my only plea,
Now I'm coming home;
That Jesus died and died for me,
Lord, I'm coming home.
6) I need His cleansing blood, I know,
Now I'm coming home;
O wash me whiter than the snow,
Lord, I'm coming home.
279 (G) RH 369 OB 140
Redeemed how I love to proclaim it,
Redeemed by the blood of the Lamb;
Redeemed through His infinite mercy,
His child, and forever, I am.
Chorus:
Redeemed, redeemed!
Redeemed by the blood of the Lamb;
Redeemed, redeemed!
His child, and forever, I am.
2) Redeemed and so happy in Jesus,
No language my rapture can tell;
I know that the light of His presence
With me doth continually dwell.
3) I think of my blessed Redeemer,
I think of Him all the day long;
I sing, for I cannot be silent;
His love is the theme of my song.
4) I know I shall see in His beauty
The King in whose law I delight;
Who lovingly guardeth my footsteps,
And giveth me songs in the night.
