To a home on
God's celestial shore, I'll fly away
Chorus:
Oh I'll fly away, oh glory, I'll fly away

When the shadows of this life have grown, I'll fly away
Like a bird
from prison bars has flown, I'll fly away

To a land where
joy shall not end, I'll fly away

Lyrics:
There's a land beyond the river
That we call the sweet
forever
And we only reach that shore by faith's decree
One by one
we'll gain the portals
There to dwell with the immortals
When they
ring those golden bells for you and me
Oh can't you hear the bells a-ringing
Oh can't you hear the angels
singing
Well it's the glory oh hallelujah, Jubilee
In that far off
sweet forever
Just beyond the shining river
When they ring those
golden bells for you and me
When our days shall know no number
When in death we sweetly
slumber
When the King commands the spirit to be free
Nevermore with
anguish laden
We shall reach that lovely Aidenn
When they ring those
golden bells for you and me

Lyrics:
Once I stood in the night with my head bowed low
In the darkness as
black as could be
And my heart felt alone and I cried, "O Lord
Don't
hide Your face from me"
Chorus:
Hold my hand all the way every hour every day
From here
to the great unknown
Take my hand; let me stand
Where no one stands
alone
Like a king I may live in a palace so tall
With great riches to call
my own
But I don't know a thing in this whole wide world
That's
worse than being alone
Repeat Chorus
Scriptural Reference:
"But if I do judge, my decisions are right, because I am not alone. I stand with the Father, who sent me." John 8:16

Jesus knows all about our struggles
He will guide till
the day is done
There's not a friend like the lowly Jesus
No, not

one!
And yet no friend is so meek and lowly
No, not one! No, not
one!

No, not one! No, not

No night so dark but His love can cheer us
No, not one! No, not
one!

This song also appeared on Life by New Reign and as
part of "When I Survey/Old Rugged Cross" on Hymns for All the World by
Acappella.
Lead:
Lyrics:
When I survey the wondrous cross
On which the Prince of glory
died
My richest gain I count but loss
And pour contempt on all my
pride
Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast
Save in the death of Christ, my
Lord
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 present far too
small
Love so amazing, so divine
Demands my soul, my life, my
all
Scriptural Reference:
"But whatever was to my profit I now consider loss for the sake of Christ." Philippians 3:7

Lyrics:
O sacred head now wounded with grief and shame weighed down
Now
scornfully surrounded with thorns, Thine only crown
How art Thou pale
with anguish with sore abuse and scorn
How does that visage languish
which once was bright as morn
What Thou, my Lord, has suffered was all for sinner's gain
Mine,
mine was the transgression but Thine the deadly pain
Lo, here I fall,
my Savior; 'Tis I deserve Thy place
Look on me with Thy favor,
vouchsafe to me Thy grace
What language shall I borrow to thank Thee dearest friend
For this
Thy dying sorrow, thy pity without end
O make me Thine forever and
should I fainting be
Lord, let me never, never outlive my love to
Thee
Scriptural Reference:
“They stripped him and put a scarlet robe on him, and then twisted together a crown of thorns and set it on his head. They put a staff in his right hand and knelt in front of him and mocked him. 'Hail, king of the Jews!' they said.” Matthew 27:28-29

Tis the fount of love from the source above
And He
bids us all, freely drink
Chorus:
Will you come to the fountain free?
Will you come? Tis
for you and me
Thirsty soul, here the welcome call
Tis the fountain
open for all
There's a living stream with a crystal gleam
From the throne of life
now it flows
While the waters roll, let the weary soul
Hear the call
that forth freely goes
Repeat Chorus
There's a rock that's cleft and no soul is left
That will not its
pure waters share
Tis for you and me and its dream I see
Let us
hasten joyfully there

In the soul cleansing blood
of the Lamb

blood of the Lamb?
Do you rest each moment in the Crucified?
Are you
washed in the blood of the Lamb?

Lyrics:
I once was lost in sin but Jesus took me in
And then a little light
from heaven filled my soul
It bathed my heart in love and wrote my name
above
And just a little talk with Jesus made me whole
Chorus:
(Now let us) Have a little talk with Jesus
(Let us) Tell
Him all about our troubles
(He will) Hear our faintest cry
(And He
will) Answer by and by
(Now when you) Feel a little prayerful
yearning
(As your) Heart unto heaven is turning
(You will) Find a
little talk with Jesus makes it right
Sometimes my path seems drear without a ray of cheer
And then a
cloud of doubt may hide the light of day
The mist of sin may rise and
hide the starry skies
But just a little talk with Jesus clears the
way
Repeat Chorus
I may have doubts and fears, my eyes be filled with tears
But Jesus
is a friend who watches day and night
I go to Him in prayer, He knows
my every care
And just a little talk with Jesus makes it right
Repeat Chorus

It is well, it is well, in my

Praise
the Lord, praise the Lord

Even so it is well with my soul

A God, concealed from human
sight
He tinted skies with heav'nly hue
And framed the worlds with
His great might
Chorus:
There is a God, He is alive
In Him we live and we
survive
From dust our God created man
He is our God, the great I
Am

A God whose voice the prophets
heard
He is the God that we should know
Who speaks from His inspired
word
Repeat Chorus
Secure is life from mortal mind
God holds the germ within His
hand
Though men may search they cannot find
For God alone does
understand
Repeat Chorus
Our God, whose Son upon a tree
A life was willing there to
give
That He from sin might set man free
And evermore with Him could
live
Repeat Chorus
