309 (G)
This world is not my home
I'm just a passing through
My treasures are laid up
Somewhere beyond the blue.
The angels beckon me
From heaven's open door,
And I can't feel at home
In this world, any more.
Chorus:
Oh Lord you know
I have no friend like you
If heaven's not my home
Then Lord, what will I do?
The angels beckon me
From heaven's open door
And I can't feel at home
In this world any more.
2) They're all expecting me
And that one thing I know
I fixed it up with Jesus
Many years ago.
I know He'll see me through
Though I am weak and poor,
And I can't feel at home
In this world any more.
3) Just over in glory land
We'll live eternally
The saints on every hand
Are shouting victory.
The songs of sweetest praise
Drift back from heaven's shore
And I can't feel at home
In this world any more.
310 (F)
Grace, grace, God's grace
Grace that will pardon
And cleanse within,
Grace, grace, God's grace
Grace that is greater
Than all my sin.
311 (C)
I'd rather have Jesus
Than silver or gold,
I'd rather be His
Than have riches untold;
I'd rather have Jesus
Than houses or lands,
I'd rather be led
By His nail pierced hand.
Chorus:
Than to be the King
Of a vast domain,
And be held in sin's dread sway;
I'd rather have Jesus,
Than anything
This world affords today.
|
2) I'd rather have Jesus
Than men's applause,
I'd rather be faithful
To His dear cause;
I'd rather have Jesus
Than world wide fame,
I'd rather be true
To His holy name.
3) He's fairer than lilies
Of rarest bloom,
He's sweeter than honey
From out of the comb;
He's all that my hungering spirit needs,
I'd rather have Jesus
And let Him lead.
312 (F) OB 7
I am thinking of the rapture
In our blessed home on high,
When the redeemed are gathering in
How we'll raise the heavenly anthem
In that city in the sky,
When the redeemed are gathering in.
Chorus:
When the redeemed
Are gathering in,
Washed like snow,
And free from all sin,
How we will shout
And how we will sing
When the redeemed
Are gathering in.
2) There will be a great procession
Over on the streets of gold,
When the redeemed are gathering in,
O what music, O what singing,
O'er the city will be rolled
When the redeemed are gathering in.
3) Saints will sing redemption's story
With their voices clear and strong,
When the redeemed are gathering in,
Then the angels all will listen,
For they cannot join that song,
When the redeemed are gathering in.
4) Then the Saviour will give orders
To prepare the banquet board,
When the redeemed are gathering in,
And we'll hear His invitation:
Come ye, blessed of the Lord;
When the redeemed are gathering in.
313 (F) OB 160
Hold to God's unchanging hand,
Hold to God's unchanging hand,
Build your hopes on things eternal,
Hold to God's unchanging hand.
