Stricken, smitted and afflicted










1. Stricken, smitten, and afflicted, 
see Him dying on the tree! 
’Tis the Christ by man rejected; 
yes, my soul, ’tis He, ’tis He! 
´Tis the long expected prophet, 
David’s Son, yet David’s Lord; 
proofs I see sufficient of it: 
’tis a true and faithful Word. 

2. Tell me, ye who hear Him groaning, 
was there ever grief like His? 
Friends through fear His cause disowning, 
foes insulting his distress: 
Many hands were raised to wound Him, 
none would interpose to save; 
but the deepest stroke that pierced Him 
was the stroke that Justice gave. 

3. Ye who think of sin but lightly, 
nor suppose the evil great, 
here may view its nature rightly, 
here its guilt may estimate. 
Mark the Sacrifice appointed! 
See Who bears the awful load! 
´Tis the Word, the Lord’s Anointed, 
Son of Man, and Son of God. 

4. Here we have a firm foundation, 
here the refuge of the lost. 
Christ the Rock of our salvation, 
Christ the Name of which we boast. 
Lamb of God for sinners wounded! 
Sacrifice to cancel guilt! 
None shall ever be confounded 
who on Him their hope have built

Seek ye first the kingdom of God




1. Seek ye first the kingdom of God
and his righteousness,
and all these things shall be added unto you,
hallelu, halleluja!

2. Man shall live not by bread alone,
but by every word
that proceeds from the mouth of God,
hallelu, halleluja!

3. Ask, and it shall be given unto you,
seek and ye shall find,
knock and the door shall be opened unto you,
hallelu, halleluja!

4. Seek ye first the kingdom of God
and his righteousness,
and all these things shall be added unto you,
hallelu, halleluja!

I walk in danger all the way




1. I walk in danger all the way; 
the thought shall never leave me 
that Satan, who has marked his prey, 
is plotting to deceive me. 
This foe with hidden snares 
may seize me unawares 
if e'er I fail to watch and pray. 
I walk in danger all the way. 

2. I pass through trials all the way, 
with sin and ills contending; 
in patience I must bear each day 
the cross of God's own sending. 
When in adversity 
I know not where to flee, 
when storms of woe my soul dismay, 
I pass through trials all the way. 

3. And death pursues me all the way, 
nowhere I rest securely; 
he comes by night, he comes by day, 
he takes his prey most surely. 
A failing breath, and I 
in death's strong grasp may lie 
to face eternity today. 
As death pursues me all the way. 

4. I walk with angels all the way, 
they shield me and befriend me; 
all Satan's pow'r is held at bay 
when heav'nly hosts attend me; 
they are my sure defense, 
all fear and sorrow, hence! 
Unharmed by foes, do what they may, 
I walk with angels all the way. 

5. I walk with Jesus all the way; 
His guidance never fails me; 
within His wounds I find a stay 
when Satan's pow'r assails me; 
and by His footsteps led, 
my path I safely tread. 
No evil leads my soul astray; 
I walk with Jesus all the way. 

6. My walk is heav'nward all the way; 
await, my soul, the morrow, 
when God's good healing shall allay 
all suff'ring, sin, and sorrow. 
Then, worldly pomp, begone! 
To heav'n I now press on. 
For all the world I would not stay; 
my walk is heav'nward all the way.
