I'm glad Jesus came glory to his name of what a friend is he
He's so freely gave his own love to save from all the sins set free
I've got that old time religion in my heart it's way down inside
I've got that new kind of feeling in my heart real lullabies
Nobody knows what it means to me, nobody knows but my God and me
I've got that old time religion in my heart this way down inside

What a joy to know one who loves us so, he is so crying down too
He has changed my life from all the sins and strive
He'll do the same for you
I've got that old time religion in my heart, it's way down inside
I've got that new kind of feeling in my heart real lullabies
Nobody knows what it means to me, nobody knows but my God and me
I've got that old time religion in my heart, it's way down inside

Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine!
O what a foretaste of glory divine!
Heir of salvation, purchase of God,
I'm born of his Spirit, washed in his blood.

Refrain:
This is my story, this is my song,
Praising my Savior all the day long;
This is my story, this is my song,
It's praising my Savior all the day long.

Perfect submission, perfect delight,
Visions of rapture now burst on my sight;
Angels descending bring from above
Echoes of mercy, whispers of love.
(Refrain)

Perfect submission, all is at rest;
I in my Savior am happy and blest,
Watching and waiting, looking above,
I'm filled with God's goodness, I'm lost in his love.

Let me walk, blessed Lord, in the way Thou hast gone,
Leading straight to the land above;
Giving cheer everywhere to the sad and the lone,
Fill my way every day with love.

REFRAIN:
Fill my way every day with love,
As I walk with the heav'nly Dove;
Let me go all the while with a song and a smile,
Fill my way every day with love.

Keep me close to the side of my Saviour and guide,
Let me never in darkness rove;
Keep my path free from wrath and my soul satisfied,
Fill my way every day with love.

REFRAIN:
Fill my way every day with love,
As I walk with the heav'nly Dove;
Let me go all the while with a song and a smile,
Fill my way every day with love.

Soon this race will be o'er and I'll travel no more,
But abide in my home above;
Let me sing, blessed King, all the way to that shore,
Fill my way every day with love.

REFRAIN:
Fill my way every day with love,
As I walk with the heav'nly Dove;
Let me go all the while with a song and a smile,

Sometimes I feel discouraged
And I think my works in vain
I'm tempted oft(en) to murmur
To grumble and complain
But then I think of Jesus
And all he's borne for me

Then I cry
Oh rock of ages
Hide thou me
Ohh rock of ages
Hide thou me

Ohh rock of ages
Hide thou me
No other refuge
Can save but thee
Through this old world
I've wandered so far, far from thee

Then I cry
Ooh rock of ages
Hide thou me

Ooh rock of ages
Hide thou me
No other refuge
Can save but thee
Through this old world
I've wandered so far, far from thee

Then I cry
Ooh rock of ages

I have good new to bring
And that is why I sing,
All my joys with you I will save.
Well I'm gonna take a trip
On the old gospel ship
And go sailing through the air.

Refrain:
Well I'm gonna take a trip
On the old gospel ship;
I'm going far beyond the sky.
Well I'm gonna shout and sing,
Until heavens bring,
That's I'm bidding this world goodbye.

Refrain:
Oh I can scarecely wait,
I know I'll not be late.
For I'll spend all my time in prayer
And when my ship comes in,
I will leave this world of sin
And go sailing through the air.

Refrain:
Well I'm gonna take a trip
On the old gospel ship;
I'm going far beyond the sky.
Well I'm gonna shout and sing,
Until heavens bring,
As I'm bidding this world goodbye.

If you are ashamed of me,
You've got no cause to be
What we've got, I ain't ???
It's too much fault you find,
You'll sure be left behind,
I'll go sailing through the air.

Refrain:
Well I'm gonna take a trip
On the old gospel ship;
I'm going far beyond the sky.
Well I'm gonna shout and sing,
Until heavens bring,
As I'm bidding this world goodbye.

Lyrics: William Walford
Music: William B. Bradbury

Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer!
that calls me from a world of care,
and bids me to my Father's throne
make all my wants, my wishes known.
In seasons of distress and grief,
my soul has often found relief,
and oft escaped the tempter's snare
by thy return, sweet hour of prayer!

Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer!
thy wings shall my petition bear
to him whose truth and faithfulness
engage the waiting soul to bless.
And since he bids me seek his face,
believe his word, and trust his grace,
I'll cast on him my every care,

There will be a happy meeting in Heaven, I know
When we see the many loved ones we've known here below
Gathered on that blessed hilltop with hearts all aglow
That will be a glad reunion day.
A glad day, a wonderful day,
A glad day, a glorious day
There with all the holy angels and loved ones to stay
That will be a glad reunion day.

When we live a million years in that wonderful place
Basking in the love of Jesus, beholding His face
It will seem but just a moment of praising His grace
That will be a glad reunion day.
A glad day, a wonderful day,
A glad day, a glorious day
There with all the holy angels and loved ones to stay

Lyrics: Elisha A. Hoffman

What a fellowship, what a joy divine,
Leaning on the everlasting arms;
What a blessedness, what a peace is mine,
Leaning on the everlasting arms.
Leaning, leaning,
Safe and secure from all alarms;
Leaning, leaning,
Leaning on the everlasting arms.

Oh, how sweet to walk in this pilgrim way,
Leaning on the everlasting arms;
Oh, how bright the path grows from day to day,
Leaning on the everlasting arms.
Leaning, leaning,
Safe and secure from all alarms;
Leaning, leaning,
Leaning on the everlasting arms.

What have I to dread, what have I to fear,
Leaning on the everlasting arms;
I have blessed peace with my Lord so near,
Leaning on the everlasting arms.
Leaning, leaning,
Safe and secure from all alarms;
Leaning, leaning,

Long years ago when out in sin,
I had no hope no peace within;
Down on my knees in agony,
I prayed to Jesus and He gladly set me free.

I never shall forget the day,
When all the burdens from my soul were rolled away;
It made me happy, glad and free,
I'll sing it, shout it, for He's everything to me.

Oh, sinner come to Jesus now,
At His dear feet just humbly bow;
Confess to Him your every sin,
He'll save and cleanse you, give you peace and joy within.

I never shall forget the day,
When all the burdens from my soul were rolled away;
It made me happy, glad and free,
I'll sing it, shout it, for He's everything to me.

I never shall forget the day,
When all the burdens from my soul were rolled away;
It made me happy, glad and free,

(traditional)

In this world we have our trials
sometimes long-term, sometimes blew
but the hope of life eternal
Makes all old hopes brand new

I don't want to get adjusted to this world, to this world
I've got a home so much better
and I'm gonna go there sooner or later
And I don't want to get adjusted to this world, to this world
I've got a home so much better
and I'm gonna go there sooner or later
And I don't want to get adjusted to this world, to this world

Lord, I'm growing old and weary
There's no place that feels like home
Saviour come, my soul in ferry
to where I've never  (?)

God walks the dark hills
The ways, the by ways
He walks through the billows
Of life's troubled sea
He walks through the cold dark night
The shadows of midnight
God walks the dark hills
Just to guide you and me

Chorus:
God walks the dark hills
To guide my footsteps
He walks everywhere
By night and by day
He walks in the silence
On down the highway
God walks the dark hills
To show me the way.

God walks in the storm
The rain and the sunshine
He walks on the billows
On through glimmering light
Helps us walk up the mountain so high
Cross our rivers through valleys
God walks the dark hills
'Cause he loves you and me
