Rock of Ages.

Author: A. M. Toplady Hymnal: Victory Songs #277 (1920) Topics: Devotional Songs First Line: Rock of Ages, cleft for me Lyrics: 1 Rock of Ages, cleft for me, Let me hide myself in Thee; Let the water and the blood, From Thy wounded side which flow'd, Be of sin the double cure; Save from wrath and make me pure. 2 Could my tears forever flow, Could my zeal no languor know, These for sin could not atone; Thou must save, and Thou alone: In my no price hand I bring, Simply to Thy cross I cling. 3 While I draw this fleeting breath, When mine eyes shall close in death, When I rise to worlds unknown, And behold Thee on Thy throne, Rock of Ages, cleft for me, Let me hide myself in Thee.

There's a Wideness.

Author: Frederick W. Faber Hymnal: Victory Songs #281 (1920) Topics: Devotional Songs First Line: There's a wideness in God's mercy Lyrics: 1 There's a wideness in God's mercy, Like the wideness of the sea, There's a kindness in His justice, Which is more than liberty. 2 There is welcome for the sinner, And more graces for the good; There is mercy with the Savior, There is healing in His blood. 3 For the love of God is broader Than the measures of man's mind; And the heart of the Eternal; Is most wonderfully kind. 4 If our love were but more simple, We should take Him at His word, And our lives be all sunshine In the sweetness of our Lord.

My Jesus, As Thou Wilt.

Oh, may Thy will be mine; Into Thy hand of love I would my all resign; Thro' sorrow, or thro' joy, Conduct me as Thine own, And help me still to say, "My Lord, Thy will be done." 2 My Jesus, as thou wilt! Tho' seen thro' many a tear, Let not my star of hope Grow dim or disappear; Since Thou on earth hast wept, And sorrowed oft alone, If I must weep with Thee, "My Lord, Thy will be done." 3 My Jesus, as Thou wilt! All shall be well for me; Each changing future scene I gladly trust with Thee; Straight to my home above I travel calmly on, And sing, in life or death, "My Lord, Thy will be done."

Lead, Kindly Light.

Author: J. H. Newman Hymnal: Victory Songs #283 (1920) Topics: Devotional Songs First Line: Lead, kindly Light, amid th'encircling gloom Lyrics: 1 Lead, kindly Light, amid th'encircling gloom, Lead Thou me on; The night is dark, and I am far from home; Lead thou me on: Keep thou my feet; I do not ask to see The distant scene,--one step enough for me. 2 I was not ever thus, nor prayed that Thou Shouldst lead me on; I loved to choose and see my path; but now Lead Thou me on. I loved the garish day, and, spite of fears, Pride ruled my will: Remember not past years. 3 So long Thy pow'r hath blest me, sure it still Will lead me on; O'er moor and fen, o'er crag and torrent, till The night is gone; And with the morn those angel-faces smile, Which I have loved long since, and lost awhile.

From Greenland's Icy Mountains.

Author: R. Heber Hymnal: Victory Songs #285 (1920) Topics: Devotional Songs First Line: From Greenlands' icy mountains Lyrics: 1 From Greenlands' icy mountains, From India's coral strand Where Afric's synny fountains Roll down their golden sand; From many an ancient river, From many a palmy plain, They call us to deliver Their land from error's chain. 2 What tho' the spicy breezes, Blow soft o'er Ceylon's isle; Tho' every prospect pleases, And only man is vile? In vain with lavish kindness The gifts of God are strown, The heathen in his blindness Bow down to wood and stone. 3 Shall we, whose souls are lighted With wisdom from on high, Shall we to men benighted The lamp of life deny? Salvation! O salvation! The joyful sound proclaim Till earth's remotest nation Has learned Messiah's name. 4 Waft, waft, ye winds, His story, And yon, ye waters, roll, Till, like a sea of glory, It spreads from pole to pole. Till o'er our ransomed nature The Lamb for sinners slain, Redeemer, King, Creator, In bliss returns to reign. Languages: English Tune Title: [From Greenlands' icy mountains]
