When I survey the wondrous cross

1. 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.

2. 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.

3. 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?

4. 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.

O take my hand dear Father

1. O take my hand, dear Father,
and lead Thou me,
till at my journey’s ending
I dwell with Thee.
Alone I cannot wander
one single day,
so do Thou guide my footsteps
on life’s rough way.

2. O cover with Thy mercy
my poor, weak heart,
lest I in joy or sorrow
from Thee depart.
Permit Thy child to linger
here at Thy feet,
Thy goodness blindly trusting
with faith complete.

3. Though oft Thy power but faintly
may stir my soul,
with Thee, my Light in darkness,
I reach the goal.
Take then my hand, dear Father,
and lead Thou me,
till at my journey’s ending
I dwell with Thee.

Lead me, Lord

//: Lead me, Lord, 
lead me in Thy righteousness, 
make Thy way plain before my face :// 
//: For it is Thou, Lord, 
Thou, Lord, only, 
that makest me dwell in safety ://

Lord Jesus Christ, be present now

1. Lord Jesus Christ, be present now,
Our hearts in true devotion bow,
Thy Spirit send with grace divine,
And let Thy truth within us shine.

2. Unseal our lips to sing Thy praise,
Our souls to Thee in worship raise,
Make strong our fiath, increase our light
That we may know Thy name aright:

3. Until we join the hosts that cry,
"Holy art Thou, O Lord, most high!"
And in the light of that blest place
Fore'er behold Thee face to face.

4. Glory to God the Father, Son,
And Holy Spirit, Three in One!
To Thee, O blessed Trinity,
Be praise throughout eternity!

Children of the heav´nly Father

1. Children of the heav’nly Father
safely in His bosom gather;
nestling bird nor star in Heaven
such a refuge e’er was given.

2. God His own doth tend and nourish;
in His holy courts they flourish;
from all evil things He spares them;
in His mighty arms He bears them.

3. Neither life nor death shall ever
from the Lord His children sever;
unto them His grace He showeth,
and their sorrows all He knoweth.

4. Praise the Lord in joyful numbers:
your Protector never slumbers.
At the will of your Defender
ev’ry foeman must surrender.

5. Though He giveth or He taketh,
God His children ne’er forsaketh;
His the loving purpose solely
to preserve them pure and holy.

All the way my Savior leads me

1. All the way my Savior leads me;
what have I to ask beside?
Can I doubt His tender mercy,
who through life has been my Guide?
Heav’nly peace, divinest comfort,
here by faith in Him to dwell!
For I know, whate’er befall me,
Jesus doeth all things well;
for I know, whate’er befall me,
Jesus doeth all things well.

2. All the way my Savior leads me,
cheers each winding path I tread;
gives me grace for every trial,
feeds me with the living Bread.
Though my weary steps may falter,
and my soul athirst may be,
gushing from the Rock before me,
lo! A spring of joy I see;
gushing from the Rock before me,
lo! A spring of joy I see.

3. All the way my Savior leads me
O the fullness of His love!
Perfect rest to me is promised
in my Father’s house above.
When my spirit, clothed immortal,
wings its flight to realms of day
this my song through endless ages—
Jesus led me all the way;
this my song through endless ages—
Jesus led me all the way.

There is a gate that stands ajar

1. There is a gate that stands ajar,
and through its portals gleaming
a radiance from the cross afar,
the Savior’s love revealing.
O depth of mercy! Can it be
that gate was left ajar for me?
For me! For me!
Was left ajar for me!

2. That gate ajar stands free for all
who seek through it salvation;
the rich and poor, the great and small,
of every tribe and nation.
O depth of mercy...

3. Press onward, then, though foes may frown,
while mercy’s gate is open;
accept the cross, and win the crown,
love’s everlasting token.
O depth of mercy...

4. Beyond the river’s brink we’ll lay
the cross that here is given,
and bear the crown of life away,
and love Him more in Heaven.
O depth of mercy...
