He who pardoned erring Peter never need’st thou fear,He who came to faithless Thomas all thy doubt will clear;He who let the loved disciple on His bosom restBids thee still, with love as tender, lean upon His breast.

He who ’mid the raging billows walked upon the sea;Still can hush our wildest tempest as on Galilee.He who wept and prayed in anguish in Gethsemane,Drinks with us each cup of trembling in our agony.

As of old He walked to Emmaus, with them to abide;So through all life’s way He walketh, ever near our side.Soon again shall we behold Him, hasten, Lord, the day !But ’twill still be “this same Jesus” as He went away.

When Christ shall come with shout of acclamation,And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart !Then I shall bow in humble adorationAnd there proclaim, my God, how great Thou art !

45. THE LOVE OF GOD (3/4)Text & Music : F.M. Lehman

DThe love of God is greater far A DThan tongue or pen can ever tell,

It goes beyond the highest star A DAnd reaches to the lowest hell; G DThe guilty pair, bowed down with care, A DGod gave His Son to win : G DHis erring child He reconciled A DAnd pardoned from his sin.

Chorus G DO love of God, how rich and pure ! A DHow measureless and strong ! G DIt shall forevermore endure - A DThe saints’ and angels’ song.

When years of time shall pass awayAnd earthly thrones and kingdoms fall,When men, who here refuse to pray,On rocks and hills and mountains call,God’s love so sure shall still endure,All measureless and strong :Redeeming grace to Adam’s race -The saints’ and angels’ song.

49. DOES JESUS CARE ? (6/8)Text : F.E. Graeff; Music : J.L. Hall

C F CDoes Jesus care when my heart is pained G CToo deeply for mirth and song; C7 F DmAs the burdens press, and the cares distress, C G7 CAnd the way grows weary and long ?

Chorus G CO yes, He cares - I know He cares ! G D7 G G7His heart is touched with my grief; C C7 F DmWhen the days are weary, the long nights dreary, C G7 CI know my Saviour cares.

Does Jesus care when my way is darkWith a nameless dread and fear ?As the daylight fades into the deep night shades,Does He care enough to be near ?

Does Jesus care when I’ve tried and failedTo resist some temptation strong;When for my deep grief I find no relief,Though my tears flow all the night long ?

Does Jesus care when I’ve said goodbyeTo the dearest on earth to me,And my sad heart aches till it nearly breaks -Is it aught to Him ? Does He see ?

Chorus G DHis power is great and will e-ver endure, Bm F#m G AHis wisdom is peaceable, gentle and pure. G D F#m GBut greater than all these glories I see, D F#m G A DIs the glorious promise that He cares for me.

The earth and the heav'ns are the work of His hands,And billions of angels obey His commands.He guides the great galaxies spinning through space,Yet He gave us His Son as a gift of His grace.

He rides the wild heavens, He strides through the seas;The high mountains tremble to hear His decrees.His voice with great thunderings sounds from above,But to His own children, He whispers His love.

For lo, the days are hast’ning on,By prophet bards foretold,When with the ever-circling years

Tune 1 (St Louis)

E A E B7 EO little town of Bethlehem, how still we see thee lie ! C# F#m E B7 EAbove thy deep and dreamless sleep the silent stars go by; G# C#m A G#Yet in thy dark streets shineth the e - verlasting Light - E A E B7 EThe hopes and fears of all the years are met in thee tonight.

For Christ is born of Mary - and gathered all above,While mortals sleep, the angels keep their watch of wond’ring love.O morning stars, together proclaim the holy birth !And praises sing to God the King, and peace to men on earth.

How silently, how silently the wondrous gift is giv’n !So God imparts to human hearts the blessings of His heav’n.No ear may hear His coming, but, in this world of sin,Where meek souls will receive Him still, the dear Christ enters in.

O holy Child of Bethlehem ! Descend to us, we pray;Cast out our sin, and enter in - be born in us to day.We hear the Christmas angels the great glad tidings tell;O come to us, abide with us, our Lord Emmanuel !

B7 E B7 EOnce in royal David’s cityC#m G#m B7 EStood a low-ly cattle shed,B7 E F# B7 EWhere a mother laid her Baby,C#m G#m B7 EIn a manger for His bed;A E B7 EMary was that mother mild,A E B7 EJesus Christ her little Child.

He came down to earth from heaven,Who is God and Lord of all,And His shelter was a stable,And His cradle was a stall;With the lowly, poor, and mean,Lived on earth our Saviour holy.

O, our eyes at last shall see HimThrough His own redeeming love;For that Child so dear and gentleIs our God in heav’n above;And He leads His children onTo the place where He is gone.

Not in that poor lowly stable,With the oxen standing by,We shall see Him; but in heaven,Set at God’s right hand on high;When like stars His children crownedAll in white shall wait around.

C Dm Am EThou didst leave Thy throne and Thy kingly crown C GWhen Thou camest to earth for me; C B7 Em DBut in Bethlehem’s home was there found no room G D7 GFor Thy holy na-ti-vi-ty.

Chorus C F GO come to my heart, Lord Jesus - C G7 CThere is room in my heart for Thee !

Chorus for last stanza

My heart shall rejoice, Lord Jesus -When Thou comest and callest for me !

Heaven’s arches rang when the angels sang,Proclaiming Thy royal degree;But of lowly birth didst Thou come to earth,And in great humility.

The foxes found rest, and the birds their nestIn the shade of the forest tree;But Thy couch was the sod, O Thou Son of God,In the deserts of Galilee.

Thou camest, O Lord, with the living WordThat should set Thy people free;But with mocking scorn and with crown of thornThey bore Thee to Calvary.


When the heavens shall ring and the angels singAt Thy coming to victory,Let Thy voice call me home, saying, “Yet there is room -There is room at My side for thee.”

ChorusBm G D BmThis, this is Christ the King, Em C B7Whom shepherds guard and angels sing :Bm G D BmHaste, haste to bring Him laud - Em B7 EmThe Babe, the Son of Mary.

Why lies He in such mean estateWhere ox and ass are feeding ?Good Christian, fear - for sinners hereThe silent Word is pleading.

So bring Him incense, gold and myrrh -Come, rich and poor, to own Him;The King of kings salvation brings -Let loving hearts enthrone Him.


92. THE FIRST NOEL (3/4)Text : English carol; Music : English melody

D A G DThe first noel, the angel did say, G D A DWas to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay; A G DIn fields where they lay keeping their sheep, G D A DOn a cold winter’s night that was so deep.

Chorus F#m G DNoel, no-el ! No-el, no-el !G D A DBorn is the King of Is-ra-el !

They looked up and saw a starShining in the east, beyond them far,And to the earth it gave great light,And so it continued both day and night.

And by the light of that same starThree wise men came from country far;To seek for a king was their intent,And to follow the star wherever it went.

This star drew nigh to the northwest,O’er Bethlehem it took its rest,And there it did both stop and stay,Right over the place where Jesus lay.

Then entered in those wise men three,Full rev’rently upon their knee,And offered there in His presence,Their gold and myrrh and frankincense.

Then let us all with one accordSing praises to our heav’nly Lord,That hath made heav’n and earth of naught,And with His blood mankind hath bought.


93. WHILE SHEPHERDS WATCHED THEIR FLOCKS 22 (4/4)Text : N. Tate; Music : G.F. Handel

C G CWhile shepherds watched their flocks by night, GAll seated on the ground, CThe angel of the Lord came down,F C G7 CAnd glory shone around,F C G7 CAnd glory shone around.

“Fear not !” said he; for mighty dreadHad seized their troubled mind,“Glad tidings of great joy I bringTo you and all mankind,To you and all mankind.”

“To you, in David’s town this day,Is born of David’s line,The Saviour who is Christ the Lord,And this shall be the sign :And this shall be the sign.”

“The heav’nly Babe you there shall findTo human view displayed,All meanly wrapped in swathing bands,And in a manger laid,And in a manger laid.”

“All glory be to God on highAnd to the earth be peace :Goodwill henceforth from heav’n to men,Begin and never cease,Begin and never cease !”

22 Luke 2 : 8 - 14

EAlas ! And did my Saviour bleed A E B7And did my Sov’reign die ? EWould He devote that sacred Head A B7 EFor such a worm as I ?

Chorus B7At the cross, at the cross where I first saw the light, EAnd the burden of my heart rolled away - A EIt was there by faith I received my sight, A B7 EAnd now I am happy all the day !

Was it for crimes that I have doneHe groaned upon the tree ?Amazing pity ! Grace unknown !And love beyond degree !

Well might the sun in darkness hideAnd shut His glories in,When Christ, the mighty Maker, diedFor man the creature’s sin.

But drops of grief can ne’er repayThe debt of love I owe :Here, Lord, I give myself away -’Tis all that I can do !

Jesus, my God ! I know His name -His name is all my trust;Nor will He put my soul to shame,Nor let my hope be lost.

Firm as His throne His promise stands,And He can well secureWhat I’ve committed to His hands,Till the decisive hour.

Then will He set my worthless nameBefore His Father’s face;And, in the new Jerusalem,Appoint my soul a place.

Chorus C GCalvary covers it all, Em D7 G G7My past with its sin and stain; C GMy guilt and despair Jesus took on Him there, D7 GAnd Calvary covers it all.

The stripes that He bore and the thorns that He woreTold His mercy and love evermore;And my heart bowed in shame as I called on His name,And Calvary covers it all.

How matchless the grace, when I looked on the faceOf this Jesus, my crucified Lord;My redemption complete I then found at His feet,And Calvary covers it all.

D EmWhy did Jesus give up heaven’s glory A DFor this world of sin and misery ? EmWhy did Jesus suffer in the garden, A DDrain the bitter cup of agony ? Em A D BmWhy did Je-sus stand in Pilate’s judgement hall, E A7Wear that cruel crown of thorns so patient-ly ? D EmWhy did Jesus give His life to save me ? A DIt was love, God’s wondrous love for me.

Why does Jesus lift me when I stumble,Take my hand whene’er I go astray ?Give me strength I need for each tomorrow,Grace to face the trials of the day ?Why does Jesus share the load I cannot bear,Fill my soul with peace and joy beyond degree ?And why does He watch o’er me and keep me ?It was love, God’s wondrous love for me.

A DOn a hill far away stood an old rugged cross, E E7 AThe emblem of suffering and shame; A7 DAnd I love that old cross where the dearest and best E E7 AFor a world of lost sinners was slain.

Chorus E7 ASo I’ll cherish the old rugged cross,A7 D ATill my trophies at last I lay down; A7 DI will cling to the old rugged cross, A E AAnd exchange it someday for a crown.

O that old rugged cross, so despised by the world,Has a wondrous attraction for me;For the dear Lamb of God left His glory aboveTo bear it to dark Calvary.

In the old rugged cross, stained with blood so divine,A wondrous beauty I see;For ’twas on that old cross Jesus suffered and diedTo pardon and sanctify me.

To the old rugged cross I will ever be true,Its shame and reproach gladly bear;Then He’ll call me someday to my home far away,Where His glory forever I’ll share.

E F#m B7 EWhen I survey the wondrous cross A E B7On which the Prince of glory died,E F#m B7 EMy richest gain I count but loss, B7 C#m F#m B7 EAnd pour contempt on all my pride.

Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast,Save in the death of Christ, my God;All the vain things that charm me most -I sacrifice them to His blood.

See, from His head, His hands, His feet,Sorrow and love flow mingled down;Did e’er such love and sorrow meet,Or thorns compose so rich a crown ?

Were the whole realm of nature mine,That were a tribute far too small;Love so amazing, so divine,Demands my soul, my life, my all !

D7 GHe whose heart is kind beyond all measure Em A D AGives unto each day what He deems best - D D7 GLovingly, its part of pain and pleasure, A DMingling toil with peace and rest.

Every day the Lord Himself is near meWith a special mercy for each hour;All my cares He fain would bear, and cheer me,He whose name is Counsellor and Pow’r.The protection of His child and treasureIs a charge that on Himself He laid;“As thy days, thy strength shall be in measure,”This the pledge to me He made.

Help me then in every tribulationSo to trust Thy promises, O Lord,That I lose not faith’s sweet consolationOffered me within Thy holy Word.Help me, Lord, when toil and trouble meeting,E’er to take, as from a father’s hand,One by one, the days, the moments fleeting,Till I reach the promised land.

Chorus A B7 EHow many are the lost that I have lifted ? A E F#m B7How many are the chained I’ve helped to free ? E A EI wonder, have I done my best for Jesus, F#m B7 EWhen He has done so much for me ?

The hours that I have wasted are so many,The hours I’ve spent for Christ so few;Because of all my lack of love for Jesus,I wonder if His heart is breaking too.

I wonder, have I cared enough for others,Or have I let them die alone ?I might have helped a wand’rer to the Saviour,The seed of precious Life I might have sown.

No longer will I stay within the valley -I’ll climb to mountain heights above;The world is dying now for want of someoneTo tell them of the Saviour’s matchless love.

Then live for Christ both day and night,Be faithful, be pure and true,And lead the lost to Christ our light;Let others see Jesus in you.

Chorus Em AmIf I have no charity, EmIf love does not flow from me,Am E Am EmI am nothing.Am Em AmJesus, please teach me to love.

Love is patient and kind,Love is not envious,Not proud, but gentle and meek,And seeks not its own way.Love sings when Jesus prevails,Believes and endures all things;Love hopes and bears every wrong,

59 1 Cor 13


And love never fails.

One season I was a child,I spoke and I thought as a child,But when I turned to a man,Such ways put aside;Though now we see through a glass,Yet then we shall see face to face;Though now abide faith and hope,The greatest is love.

320. TRUST AND OBEY (3/4)Text : J.H. Sammis; Music : D.B. Towner

ChorusA7 D B7 EmTrust and obey - for there’s no other way A D D A7 DTo be happy in Jesus, but to trust and o - bey.

Not a shadow can rise, not a cloud in the skies,But His smile quickly drives it away;Not a doubt nor a fear, not a sigh nor a tear,Can abide while we trust and obey.

Not a burden we bear, not a sorrow we share,But our toil He doth richly repay;Not a grief nor a loss, not a frown nor a cross,But is blest if we trust and obey.

But we never can prove the delights of His loveUntil all on the altar we lay;For the favour He shows and the joy He bestowsAre for them who will trust and obey.

Then in fellowship sweet we will sit at His feet,Or we’ll walk by His side in the way;What He says we will do, where He sends we will go -Never fear, only trust and obey.

A E7 AFar away the noise of strife upon my ear is falling,D A B7 E7Then I know the sins of earth beset on every hand :A E7 A A7Doubt and fear and things of earth in vain to me are calling;D A D A E7 ANone of these shall move me from Beulah Land.

Chorus E7I’m living on the mountain, underneath a cloudless sky, A B7 E7I’m drinking at the fountain that never shall run dry; A A7 D AO yes ! I’m feasting on the manna from a bountiful supply, D A E7 AFor I am dwelling in Beulah Land.

Far below the storm of doubt upon this world is beating,Sons of men in battle long the enemy withstand;Safe am I within the castle of God’s Word retreating;Nothing then can reach me - ’tis Beulah Land.

Let the stormy breezes blow, their cry cannot alarm me;I am safely sheltered here, protected by God’s hand :Here the sun is always shining, here there’s naught can harm me,I am safe forever in Beulah Land.

Viewing here the works of God, I sink in contemplation,Hearing now His blessed voice, I see the way He planned :Dwelling in the Spirit, here I learn of full salvation,Gladly will I tarry in Beulah Land.

360. EACH STEP OF THE WAY (3/4)Text & Music : R. Harper

D A7I’m following Jesus one step at a time, DI live for the moment in His love divine; D7 GWhy think of tomorrow ? Just live for today, D A7 DI’m following Jesus each step of the way.

The pathway is narrow, but He leads me on,I walk in His shadow, my fears are all gone;My spirit grows stronger each moment, each day,For Jesus is leading each step of the way.

Help me, Lord, to press on o’er each hill and dale,Help me, Lord, to conquer - with You I’ll not fail.A task You have given each child of Your care;Give me strength and courage my burden to bear.

Soon life’s journ’ying’s over and our work is done;I can hear my Saviour calling all and one.Leave me not behind, Lord, till my race is won;Help me do my homework till the task is done.

E A EGod hath not promised skies always blue, B7 EFlower-strewn pathways all our lives through, A EGod hath not promised sun without rain, E7 F# B7Joy without sorrow, peace without pain.

Chorus E A EBut God hath promised strength for the day, B7 ERest for the labour, light for the way, A F# B7Grace for the trials, help from above,E B7 EUnfailing kindness, undying love.

God hath not promised we shall not know,Toil and temptation, trouble and woe;He hath not told us we shall not bearMany a burden, many a care.

God hath not promised smooth roads and wide,Swift, easy travel, needing no guide;Never a mountain, rocky and steep,Never a river turbid and deep.

Would you be whiter, much whiter than snow ?There’s pow’r in the blood, pow’r in the blood;Sin-stains are lost in its life-giving flow -There’s wonderful pow’r in the blood.

Would you do service for Jesus your King ?There’s pow’r in the blood, pow’r in the blood;Would you live daily His praises to sing ?There’s wonderful pow’r in the blood.

Who’ll go and help this Shepherd kind,Help Him the wand’ring ones to find ?Who’ll bring the lost ones to the foldWhere they’ll be sheltered from the cold ?
