How Can I Keep from Singing


My life flows on in endless song;
above earth's lamentation,
I catch the sweet, though far off hymn
that hails a new creation;

No storm can shake my inmost calm,
while to that Rock I'm clinging;
Since Christ is Lord of heaven and earth,
How can i keep from singing?

Through all the tumult and the strife;
I hear the music ringing,
It sounds an echo in my soul;
How can I keep from singing.

What though my joys and comforts die?
The Lord my Savior liveth;
What though the darkness gather round?
Songs in the night He giveth;

Count your blessings! Name them one by four


 When upon life’s billows you are tempest tossed,
When you are discouraged, thinking all is lost,
Count your many blessings name them one by one,
And it will surprise you what the Lord hath done.

  Count your blessings, name them one by one;
Count your blessings, see what God hath done;
Count your blessings, name them one by one,
    And it will surprise you what the Lord hath done.

Are you ever burdened with a load of care?
Does the cross seem heavy you are called to bear?
Count your many blessings, every doubt will fly,
And you will be singing as the days go by.

When you look at others with their lands and gold,
Think that Christ has promised you His wealth untold.
Count your many blessings, money cannot buy
Your reward in heaven, nor your Lord on high.

So amid the conflict, whether great or small,
Do not be discouraged, God is over all;
Count your many blessings, angels will attend,
Help and comfort give you to your journey’s end.

But none of the ransomed ever knew

how deep were the waters crossed,

nor how dark was the night that the Lord passed through,

ere he found his sheep that was lost.

Out in the desert he heard its cry,

sick and helpless and ready to die,

sick and helpless and ready to die.

Hymns at Home


Saviour, Again To Thy Dear Name We Raise

Saviour, Again To Thy Dear Name We Raise
With One Accord Our Parting Hymn Of Praise;
We Stand To Bless Thee Ere Our Worship Cease,
Then, Lowly Kneeling, Wait Thy Word Of Peace.

Grant Us Thy Peace Upon Our Homeward Way;
With Thee Begun, With Thee Shall End The Day;
Guard Thou The Lips From Sin, The Hearts From Shame,
That In This House Have Called Upon Thy Name.

Grant Us Thy Peace, Lord, Through The Coming Night,
Turn Thou For Us Its Darkness Into Light;
From Harm And Danger Keep Thy Children Free,
For Dark And Light Are Both Alike To Thee.

Grant Us Thy Peace Throughout Our Earthly Life,
Our Balm In Sorrow, And Our Stay Ln Strife;
Then, When Thy Voice Shall Bid Our Conflict Cease,
Call Us, O Lord, To Thine Eternal Peace.

Words: John Ellerton.    Music: Edward J. Hopkins

When I Survey The Wondrous Cross


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 God! 
All the vain things that charm me most, 
I sacrifice them to His blood...
