1. Our Hearts O’erflow Lord, our hearts o’erflow with praises For the riches of Thy love, For this wondrous gospel story Sent to earth from heaven above; For that life of love so lowly, For the cross of Calvary, For the resurrection morning And our living hope in Thee. For this fellowship so precious That unites us by Thy grace, Growing fuller, deeper, stronger, Sundered not by time nor space. Bind us closer, Lord, and closer: As one body may we be, And our love to one another Manifest our love for Thee. In this world of doubt and darkness, Through us may the Light now shine, And our lives reflect a measure Of Thy boundless love divine. Teach us, Lord, to lift the burden Of the weary traveller’s load, And to journey on together, Ever on the homeward road. So, through all our pilgrim journey Keep us faithful, Lord, we pray, Till, with trumpet loudly sounding, Breaks the dawn of endless day. Then from distant lands, united, Gathered to Thy wounded side– Come! Lord Jesus, Come! Lord Jesus, Haste to claim Thy chosen bride. Copyright→ © author→ K.P. composer→ Annie F. Q. Harrison. Arr.

The meek and lowly Jesus Eternally shall reign, As King in all His glory He’s coming back again. Oh, let me be found waiting– Although I know not when– That when the hour cometh I may be ready then. I do not know the hour– For no-one knows just when– But surely Christ is coming, He’s coming back again. The source of true salvation To all men here below, The hope of every nation For God has planned it so. He came to pay the ransom For weak and sinful men– The Christ who went to Calv’ry Is coming back again. To all who have received Him, The Gospel to obey, T’will be the glorious dawning Of heaven’s eternal day. Copyright→ © author→ K.P. composer→ Don Puffalt 3. The Call to Labour Lord, let me hear once more the call to labour, The call that rang beside blue Galilee, To turn from home and lands and friends and kindred: Speak, Lord, again and say “Come, follow me.” Lift Thou mine eyes to see the fields now waiting Close to my hand or far beyond the sea; Then let me go and give my life, Lord Jesus, Sowing or reaping, all as unto Thee. Help me to see as sheep who have no shepherd, The multitudes that throng on every side; And let me say, wherever they may wander, “These are the souls for whom my Saviour died.” Touch Thou my heart with Thine own deep compassion, Help me to love as Thou hast first loved me; And put within, a burning, deep ambition To guide some lost and wandering soul to Thee. O keep me, Lord, from growing cold or careless, But let my zeal and love still stronger be; And till the day when Thou shalt come, Lord Jesus, Let me be found still labouring for Thee.

Jesus The Saviour Jesus the Saviour from heaven descending Down to this earth with its sin and its woe, Bringing the promise of life that’s unending, Came to His own, but His own would not know. Jesus is risen. He liveth again. Soon He is coming forever to reign. Born in a stable and laid in a manger, Birds have their nests but no room in the inn. Lord of creation–on earth as a stranger Giving His life as a ransom for sin. Out to dark Calvary, bruised, He was taken, Nailed to the cross where He suffered alone, Jesus the Saviour, to die thus forsaken, Buried and laid in a tomb not His own. Bitter the anguish–then wonderful dawning, Jesus the crucified raised from the dead, Hope of the ages–eternity’s morning– “He is not here, but is risen” they said. Copyright→ © author→ K.P. 5. Incline Thine Ear Incline Thine ear, we pray, to hear Our humble plea, Our deepest need, our hopes, our fears Are known to Thee. O, grant us now Thy face to see, Almighty Lord. O, cleanse we pray and purify Our hearts within, And take away the guilt and stain Of all our sin; And in Thy mercy make us clean, Almighty Lord. Grant us Thy strong protecting hand From day to day, And lead us safely ever on In Thine own way; And may Thy presence be our stay, Almighty Lord. Receive us now for we, Thy children, Come to Thee, Our lives, our all, we now present An off’ring free; Now and forever Thine to be, Almighty Lord. Copyright→ © author→ K.P. 6. Thy Saviour Calls Thy Saviour calls, O, hearken now to Him, He gave Himself to save thee from thy sin; He left His Father’s home in heav’n above And came on earth to manifest His love. Calling for thee–Oh, how He pleads! Calling for thee–Oh, how He intercedes! Calling in love for thee–He calls so eagerly! Thy Saviour calls and waits an answer from thee. For thee He wept, in agony He prayed, And faced the cross undaunted, undismayed, For thee the crown of thorns upon His head, And ’twas for thee His precious blood was shed. For thee He lived and ’twas for thee He died, Yea, ’twas for thee God’s Son was crucified. Triumphant o’er the tomb He rose again That life eternal thou could’st also gain. Softly He calls, O, hearken to His voice, Pleading with thee to make the highest choice; Can you reject such love, so pure, divine, Open thy heart and make the Saviour thine. Copyright→ © author→ K.P. 7. I Thank Thee Lord I thank Thee, Lord, that Thou dost see My inmost heart e’en now, And that Thou knowest every need When at Thy feet I bow. I thank Thee that when weary, worn And sorely pressed by sin, My broken, grieving heart can feel Thy healing touch within. I thank Thee that the future years Are hidden far from me, But, more than this, I thank Thee, Lord, That they are known to Thee. For saving grace and keeping power And love so full and free, For all I have and all Thou art Be praise eternally. Copyright→ © author→ K.P. composer→ K.P. tune→ Coalport 8. Lord, How Good Lord, how good, and oh, how pleasant When Thy people dwell as one, Bound in bonds of love, uniting To the Father and the Son. Bowing lowly in Thy presence, Grant us now Thy liberty, And anoint our hearts together With the oil of unity. As before Thy throne we worship And with humble hearts adore, Wilt Thou, Lord, command the blessing, Even life forevermore. Lord, how good, and oh, how pleasant When Thy people dwell as one, Scattered far, yet bound so closely Through the work that Thou hast done. May Thy Spirit, Lord, unite us– Bringing peace no tongue can tell– As the dew so soft descending On the hills of Israel. Lord, how good, and oh, how pleasant When Thy people dwell as one, Hand in hand to face the conflict Till the crown at last is won: Love uniting, ever closer, Hearts as one to seek Thy face, Overflowing with Thy praises For the riches of Thy grace.

The Saviour Gently Calls The Saviour gently calls you now In accents soft and clear; His hand outstretched in tender love Will guide you to His home above– O come while He is near. This weary world so full of sin Can offer naught but loss: Its empty joys, its foolish pride, False hopes that, like an ebbing tide, Recede to leave but dross. Your life is but a flickering flame That fades to shine no more; Then with that great and countless band, Before His throne you, too, will stand On an eternal shore. So heed His gentle, pleading voice That calls you still today. He offers you a home in heaven, The inward peace of sins forgiven– O come while yet you may. Copyright→ © author→ K.P. composer→ J.

Lord, Hear My Prayer Lord, hear my prayer, O, hearken to my pleading, Thou knowest all my heart, and more beside, Grant me Thy love, Thy grace and all I’m needing To be found worthy as Thy chosen bride. Thy whispered word this heart of mine is wooing, O, speak to me in Thy dear tones of love, Then shall my greatest joy, Lord, be in doing Thy blessed will, as done in heaven above. Only of Thee I would my life could savour, No other love shall lurk within my breast, Fix Thou mine eyes that they may never waver But on my Bridegroom evermore may rest. Only to Thee, my soul, O Lord, is clinging, O, help me prove my heart’s deep love for Thee; Then shall my life with praise be ever ringing To Him who shed such wondrous love on me. Take Thou my life, and with Thine own now blending, Fold me to Thee in Thy strong arms of love, Blest union then–a fellowship unending– Now, here on earth, and then for aye above.

And so, within this heart of mine, Although I may not see, I know that there behind the clouds Is One who cares for me. And though my heart be weary, worn, And though the way be long, Still I may journey on with Thee And sing the victor’s song. For Thou, my Lord and Saviour true, Dost hear my faintest sigh, And all the riches of Thy grace My every need supply. Though Satan often may assail, Though failure I may meet, And sometimes in my heart I hear The whispers of defeat, Still I will journey on with Thee, My hand held safe in Thine; For nothing, Lord, can separate From Thy great love divine. And so along this homeward road I know that Thou wilt guide, And future days shall hold no fear If Thou art by my side, Until one day with boundless joy, Thy wondrous face I see: My blessèd, risen, living Lord, Who died on Calvary.

Dear Father Dear Father, we Thy children bow And humbly pray Thee now, Oh, may the light of Thy blest face Reflect to us Thy pard’ning grace. Revive us, Lord, we pray. At Calvary our Saviour died, Forsaken and denied. His body broken on the tree, His blood poured out to make us free. Forgive us Lord, we pray. Now in the bread and in the wine We see Thy love divine, Oh, may we now be cleansed from sin, Thy temple purified within. Receive us, Lord, we pray. Copyright→ © author→ K.P. composer→ F. C.

Now let me feel Thy touch, Ever so true and kind, That heals my sorrow deep within And every wound doth bind. Help me to roll my care Only, dear Lord, on Thee, Knowing that Thou dost all things well And that Thou lovest me. Now let me gladly bow To Thy blest will divine; O, hear this prayer I lift to Thee And keep me ever Thine. Copyright→ © author→ K.P. tune→ Trentham 14. What Do I Think What do I think when days are bright and glad And I can see the way that leads ahead, And feel Thy great, unfailing love and care That keeps me safely in the path I tread? What do I think when days are dark and sad, When black the night and stormy billows roll, When I am worn and weary in the fray And wounds have entered deep into my soul? I think, dear Lord–The days are all the same If I but take Thy hand and walk with Thee, For all of this alike must pass away, And Thou alone art for eternity. Copyright→ © author→ K.P. composer→ K. C. Fitchett 15. Humbly I Lift My Voice Humbly I lift my voice in praise To Thee, O Lord, in heaven above, For all the wonder of Thy ways, The depth of Thy redeeming love. In Thy great Kingdom Thou hast given To me, dear Lord, to have a part, A place with Thee–a hope of heaven– And gratitude o’erflows my heart. This life of mine I yield to Thee, Accept, I pray, for it is Thine. Point me again to Calvary And fill my soul with love divine. Help me to know as I shall know When dawns that great eternal day, The emptiness of all below That soon must fade and pass away. Help me to seek the things above Where Thou dost sit upon the throne, The riches of Thy grace and love Reserved in heaven for all Thine own. And though ahead my pilgrim way May lead through vale and over hill, Help me, dear Lord, to ever stay Within the safety of Thy will. May Thy strong hand be leading me Across these swiftly fleeting years, And every step I take with Thee I know the blessed Homeland nears. Copyright→ © author→ K.P. composer→ D. B. Towner 16. Let Me See Thee Let me see Thee, blessed Lord, Walking on this earth below, Meek, despised, rejected, poor, All Thy life as seed to sow. Let me see Thy touch that made Weary, wand’ring sinners whole. Let me see, and may the sight Bring fresh hope into my soul, Let me see, and may the sight Bring fresh hope into my soul. Let me see Thee, blessed Lord, Dying on the cruel tree, Yielding up Thy life divine–Sacrifice of love so free. Let me see the cleansing stream Flowing out from Calvary. Let me see, and make me know That Thy blood was shed for me, Let me see, and make me know That Thy blood was shed for me. Let me see Thee, blessed Lord, In that resurrection hour, Rising, victor o’er the tomb–Sown in weakness, raised in power. Let me see Thee, Lord on high, There my great High Priest to be, Living now to intercede, Touched with my infirmity, Living now to intercede, Touched with my infirmity. Let me see Thee, blessed Lord, Quickly coming back again, Prince of Peace and Lord of lords, Ever King of kings to reign. Let me see Thee– ’All in All’, Wondrous, soul-refreshing view, Quick’ning all this life of mine, Kindling love and hope anew, Quick’ning all this life of mine, Kindling love and hope anew.

Thine all encircling arms Have compassed me around, And ’neath Thy shelt’ring wings A refuge I have found. So weak and prone to fail– I have no other plea But Thy shed blood, O Lord, Poured out on Calvary. No claim would I retain To this poor life of mine, For Thou hast ransomed me Through Thy great love divine. And so to Thee I bow, Whate’er Thy will may be, In full surrender, Lord, My all I yield to Thee. Copyright→ © author→ K.P. tune→ Quam Dilecta 18. I’ll Follow My Master I’ll follow my Master, My own way forsaking, And His Way now taking, I’ll serve Him. His yoke gladly bearing, His fellowship sharing, His great love declaring around me. His kind arm enfolding, His strength now upholding, He claims me and makes me His own. Whate’er may betide me, If He is beside me, And His hand doth guide me, I’ll follow. I’ll follow my Shepherd, Wherever He goeth, I trust Him–He knoweth the pathway. In love interceding, In green pastures feeding By still waters leading He guides me. He goeth before me, In love watches o’er me, And softly He calls me His own. I’ll follow my Saviour, And love Him forever, I know He will never forsake me. In love He has sought me, Thru grace He has brought me, By blood He has bought me on Cal’vry. The clouds have been riven. New hope He has given, And I am forever His own.

And though the passing years Sometimes are wet with tears, Thy hand shall calm my fears, For I am Thine. So when my course is run, When my short day is done, Beyond the setting sun– I shall be Thine.

The Precious Seed Is Scattered Now the precious seed is scattered Through Thy message from above: Blest, unchanging gospel story– Seed of life and seed of love. Shall it fall upon the wayside After all the sower’s toil? Quickly to be robbed and taken– Wild, unclaimed, unbroken soil. Or upon a heart so stony That it never root can find: Not a harvest ever garnered, Nor a single sheaf to bind. In a life of worldly seeking, Midst the thorns that tangle there, Shall the seed be sown to perish, Choked by every earthly care? Nay! but let my life be broken By the tiller’s patient skill, Ready to receive Thy message, Yielded to Thy blessèd will.

Help me to see, as I shall see so clear one day, The emptiness of all that soon shall pass away Help me to live to gain Thy recompense above- The endless treasures of Thy grace and love. And tho’ my path may lead through vale and over hill Help me to keep within the safety of Thy will; Thy loving hand shall guide across the passing years And every step with Thee the homeland nears.

Fellowship I thank Thee, Lord, for those who seek to help me on my way, Who speak my name whene’re they go to pray, Who have for me a love that’s pure and true, Who seek to show me what is right to do. I thank Thee, Lord, for those who seek my daily load to share, Who have for me a true and tender care, Whose hearts are glad when my own joy is deep, Whose tears have flowed when I had cause to weep. I thank Thee, Lord, for those who sit with me at Thy dear feet, With whom my fellowship is pure and sweet, Who seek to share my hopes and joys and fears, Who spur me on to face the coming years. I thank Thee, Lord, for those who in the secret place, alone, Surrender all each day before Thy throne, Striving to lift the standard up on high, Knowing the corn of wheat must fall and die. I thank Thee, Lord, for all the love that has its source in Thee, For ties more strong than human ties could be, For every heart in harmony with Thine And that can beat in sympathy with mine. So now I pray– Let me be true, my Saviour, unto Thee, And unto those who mean so much to me. Cleansed by Thy blood, united by Thy grace, Grant us, one day, to see Thee face to face.

Dear Lord, I Bow Dear Lord, I bow at Thy throne of grace And lift my heart in praise For all Thy faithful and tender care That has enclosed my days. Out of the depth, Lord, I cried to Thee, Out of a stormy sea– Thy loving hand so kind and true Drew me nearer Thee. Thy love so wonderful, full and free Surrounds me everywhere, And flows from hearts in united bonds Unseen– yet always there. I thank Thee, Lord, for a living hope, A faith set sure in Thee, For peace of heart that I know can bring My soul serenity. So help me, Lord, as I spend my days To trust my all to Thee, For Thou can’st keep me from day to day Unto eternity. Copyright→ © author→ K.P. composer→ Henry Barraclough 41. All Death is Conquered Dear Lord, we humbly thank Thee, As nears life’s evening hour, For all Thy grace and mercy, Thy love and keeping power. Upon the shadowed skyline The clouds which now unfold Are, by the dying sunlight, Shot through with shafts of gold. Life’s little day, now ending, Has quickly passed away. Yet sun that shone at dawning Still gilds the closing day. Thy promises unfailing, In days of joy or tears, Have been our hope and comfort Throughout the passing years. And now on life’s horizon, As twilight turns to night, The Morning Star is rising, Eternal hope shines bright. To God be all the glory, To Him who gave His Son; Through Christ all death is conquered, The final vict’ry won.
