Ho, my comrades! See the signal waving in the sky!
Reinforcements now appearing, victory is nigh.
Chorus:
"Hold the fort, for I am coming," Jesus signals still;
wave the answer back to Heaven,
"By Thy grace we will."
See the mighty host advancing, satan leading on;
Mighty ones around us falling, courage almost gone!
[Chorus]
See the glorious banner waving! Hear the trumpet blow!
In our leader's Name we triumph over every foe.
[Chorus]
Fierce and long the battle rages, but our help is near;
Onward comes our great commander, cheer, my comrades cheer!
[Chorus]
Praise Him!
Praise Him! Praise Him! Jesus our blessed Redeemer!
Sing ye saints! His wonderful love proclaim!
Hail Him! Hail Him! Mightiest angels in glory;
Strength and honor give to His holy name;
Like a shepherd, Jesus will feed His people;
In His arms He carries them all day long;
O ye saints that live in the light of His presence,
Praise Him! Praise Him! Ever in joyful song!
Praise Him! Praise Him! Jesus our blessed Redeemer,
For our sins He suffered and bled and died;
He, our Rock, our hope of eternal salvation;
Hail Him! Hail Him! Jesus the Crucified;
Loving Savior, meekly enduring sorrow;
Crowned with thorns that cruelly pierced His brow;
Once for us rejected, despised and forsaken,
Prince of Glory, ever triumphant now.
Praise Him! Praise Him! Jesus our blessed Redeemer,
Heavenly portals, loud with hosannahs ring!
Jesus, Savior, reigneth for ever and ever;
Crown Him! Crown Him! Prophet and Priest and King!
Death is vanquished! Tell it with joy, ye faithful,
Where is thy victory, boasting grave?
Jesus lives! No longer thy portals are cheerless,
Jesus lives! The mighty and strong to save.
Sing ye saints! His wonderful love proclaim!
Hail Him! Hail Him! Mightiest angels in glory;
Strength and honor give to His holy name;
Like a shepherd, Jesus will feed His people;

Down here for cleansing from sin I cried,
There to my heart was the blood applied;
Glory to His name.

Glory to His name.

O precious fountain that saves from sin,
I am so glad that I entered in,
There Jesus saves me and keeps me clean,

Plunge in today and be made complete,

I am Thine, O Lord,
I have heard Thy voice,
And it told Thy love to me;
But I long to rise in the arms of faith
And be closer drawn to Thee.

Draw me nearer,
Nearer blessed Lord,
To the cross where Thou hast died.
Draw me nearer,
Nearer blessed Lord,
To Thy precious bleeding side.
Consecrate me now
To Thy service Lord,
By the power of grace divine;
Let my soul look up with a steadfast hope,
And my will be lost in Thine.
[Chorus]
O the pure delight of a single hour
That before Thy throne I stand,
When I kneel in prayer,
And with Thee, my God,
I commune as friend with friend.

There are depths of love that I cannot know
Till I cross the narrow sea,
There are heights of joy that I cannot reach
Till I rest in peace with Thee.

There is a Fountain
There is a fountain filled with blood
Drawn from Emmanuel's veins;
And sinners plunged beneath that flood,
Lose all their guilty stains.
Lose all their guilty stains,
Lose all their guilty stains;
And sinners plunged beneath that flood
Loose all their guilty stains.
The dying thief rejoiced to see
That fountain in his day;
And there may I, though vile as he,
Wash all my sins away.
Wash all my sins away,
Wash all my sins away;
And there may I, though vile as he,
Wash all my sins away.
Dear dying Lamb, Thy precious blood
Shall never lose its power
Till all the ransomed church of God
Be saved to sin no more.
Be saved to sin no more,
Be saved to sin no more;
Till all the ransomed church of God
Be saved from sin no more.
E'er since by faith, I saw the stream
Thy flowing wounds supply,
Redeeming love has been my theme,
And shall be till I die.
And shall be till I die,
And shall be till I die;
Redeeming love has been my theme,
And shall be till I die.
Then in a nobler, sweeter song,
I'll sing Thy power to save,
When this poor lisping, stammering tongue
Lies silent in the grave.
Lies silent in the grave,
Lies silent in the grave;
When this poor, lisping stammering tongue
Lies silent in the grave.
Drawn from Emmanuel's veins;
And sinners plunged beneath that flood,
Lose all their guilty stains.
Lose all their guilty stains,
Lose all their guilty stains;
And sinners plunged beneath that flood
Loose all their guilty stains.
The dying thief rejoiced to see
That fountain in his day;
And there may I, though vile as he,
Wash all my sins away.
Wash all my sins away,
Wash all my sins away;
And there may I, though vile as he,
Wash all my sins away.
Dear dying Lamb, Thy precious blood
Shall never lose its power
Till all the ransomed church of God
Be saved to sin no more.
Be saved to sin no more,
Be saved to sin no more;
Till all the ransomed church of God
Be saved from sin no more.
E'er since by faith, I saw the stream
Thy flowing wounds supply,
Redeeming love has been my theme,
And shall be till I die.
And shall be till I die,
And shall be till I die;
Redeeming love has been my theme,
And shall be till I die.
Then in a nobler, sweeter song,
I'll sing Thy power to save,
When this poor lisping, stammering tongue
Lies silent in the grave.
Lies silent in the grave,
Lies silent in the grave;
When this poor, lisping stammering tongue
Lies silent in the grave.

Marvelous grace of our loving Lord,
Grace that exceeds our sin and our guilt!
Yonder on Calvary's mount outpoured,
There where the blood of the Lamb was spilled.

Grace that will pardon and cleanse within;

What can avail to wash it away?

You that are longing to see His face,
Will you this moment His grace recieve?

Only a sinner saved by grace!
This is my story, to God be the glory,

Causing my footsteps from God to depart;
Jesus hath found me, happy my case;
I now am a sinner saved by grace!

Loving his Savior to tell what he knows;
Once more to tell it, would I embrace -

I Know Whom I Have Believed
I know not why God's wondrous grace
To me He hath made known,
Nor why, unworthy, Christ in love
Redeemed me for His own.
Chorus:
But I know Whom I have believed

Wrought peace within my heart.

Convincing men of sin,
Revealing Jesus through the Word,
Creating faith in Him.

Before His face I see.

Redeemed me for His own.

Hear my humble cry;
While on others Thou art calling,
Do not pass me by.
Chorus:

Would I seek Thy face;
Heal my wounded, broken spirit,
Save me by Thy grace.

Faith is the Victory
Encamped along the hills of light,
Ye Christian soldiers, rise.

Shall veil the glowing skies.
Against the foes in vales below
Let all our strength be hurled.
Faith is the victory, we know,
That overcomes the world.
Chorus:
Faith is the victory!
Faith is the victory!
O glorious victory,
That overcomes the world.
His banner over us is love,
Our sword the Word of God.

With sounds of triumph trod.
By faith, they like a whirlwind's breath,
Swept on o'er every field.
The faith by which they conquered death
Is still our shining shield.
[Chorus]
on every hand the foe we find
Drawn up in dread array.
Let tents of ease be left behind,
And onward to the fray.
Salvation's helmet on each head,
With truth all girt about,
The earth shall tremble 'neath our tread,
And echo with our shout.
[Chorus]
To him that overcomes the foe,
White raiment shall be giv'n.
Before the angels he shall know
His name confessed in Heav'n.
Then onward from the hill of light,
Our hearts with love aflame.
We'll vanquish all the hosts of night,
In Jesus conqu'ring name.

Channels Only
How I praise Thee, blessed Savior,
That Thy love laid hold of me;
Thou hast saved and
Cleansed and filled me
That I might Thy channel be.
Chorus:
Channels only, blessed Master,
But with all Thy wondrous power
Flowing through us,
Thou canst use us
Every day and every hour.
Just a channel full of blessing,
To the thirsty hearts around;
To tell out Thy full salvation,
All Thy loving message sound.

Emptied that Thou shouldest fill me,
A clean vessel in Thy hand;
With no power but as Thou givest,
Graciously with each command.

Jesus fill now with Thy Spirit
Hearts that full surrender know;
That the streams of living water
From our inner self may flow.
[Chorus]
That Thy love laid hold of me;
Thou hast saved and
Cleansed and filled me
That I might Thy channel be.
Chorus:
Channels only, blessed Master,
But with all Thy wondrous power
Flowing through us,
Thou canst use us
Every day and every hour.
Just a channel full of blessing,
To the thirsty hearts around;
To tell out Thy full salvation,
All Thy loving message sound.
[Chorus]
Emptied that Thou shouldest fill me,
A clean vessel in Thy hand;
With no power but as Thou givest,
Graciously with each command.
[Chorus]
Jesus fill now with Thy Spirit
Hearts that full surrender know;
That the streams of living water
From our inner self may flow.
[Chorus]
Count Your Blessings
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.
Chorus:
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 keep singing
As the days go by.
[Chorus]
When you look at others
With their lands and gold,
Think that Christ has promised you
His wealth untold;
Count your many blessings,
Wealth can never buy;
Your reward in Heaven,
Nor your home on high.
[Chorus]
So, amid the conflict
Whether great or small,
Do not be disheartened,
God is over all;
Count your many blessings,
Angels will attend,
Help and comfort give you
To your journey's end.
[Chorus]
You are tempest tossed,

How Great Thou Art
O Lord my God,
When I in awesome wonder,
Consider all the worlds Thy Hands have made;
I see the stars,
I hear the rolling thunder,
Thy power throughout
The universe displayed.
Chorus:
Then sings my soul,
My Savior God, to Thee,
How great Thou art,
How great Thou art.
Then sings my soul,
My Savior God, to Thee,
How great Thou art,
How great Thou art!
When through the woods,
And forest glades I wander,
And hear the birds
Sing sweetly in the trees,
When I look down,
From lofty mountain grandeur;
And see the brook,
And feel the gentle breeze.
[Chorus]
And when I think,
That God, His Son not sparing;
Sent Him to die,
I scarce can't take it in;
That on the Cross,
My burden gladly bearing,
He bled and died
To take away my sin.
[Chorus]
When Christ shall come,
With shouts of acclamation,
And take me home,
What joy shall fill my heart.
Then I shall bow,
In humble adoration,
And then proclaim: "My God how great Thou art!"
[Chorus]
When I in awesome wonder,
Consider all the worlds Thy Hands have made;
I see the stars,
I hear the rolling thunder,

How great Thou art,
How great Thou art.
Then sings my soul,
My Savior God, to Thee,

When through the woods,
And forest glades I wander,
And hear the birds
Sing sweetly in the trees,
When I look down,
From lofty mountain grandeur;
And see the brook,
And feel the gentle breeze.

Footprints of Jesus
Sweetly, Lord, have we heard Thee calling;
Come, follow me!
And we see where Thy footprints falling,
Lead us to Thee.
Chorus:
Footprints of Jesus,
That make the pathway glow;
We will follow the steps of Jesus,
Where'er they go.
Though they lead o'er the cold, dark mountains,
Seeking His sheep;
Or along Siloam's fountains,
Helping the weak.
[Chorus]
If they lead through the temple holy,
Preaching the Word;
Or in homes of the poor and lowly,
Serving the Lord.
[Chorus]
Though, dear Lord, in Thy pathway keeping,
We follow Thee;
Through the gloom of that place of weeping,
Gethsemane!
[Chorus]
If Thy way and its sorrows bearing,
We go again,
Up the slope of the hillside, bearing
Our cross of pain.
[Chorus]
By and by, through the shining portals,
Turning our feet,
We shall walk, with the glad immortals,
Heav'n's golden street.
[Chorus]
Then at last when on high He sees us,
Our journey done,
We will rest where the steps of Jesus
End at His throne.
[Chorus]
Come, follow me!
And we see where Thy footprints falling,
Lead us to Thee.

Helping the weak.

If they lead through the temple holy,
Preaching the Word;
Or in homes of the poor and lowly,
Serving the Lord.

Through the gloom of that place of weeping,
Gethsemane!

We go again,
Up the slope of the hillside, bearing

Sunlight
I wandered in the shades of night,
Till Jesus came to me,
And with the sunlight of His love
Bid all my darkness flee.
Chorus:
Sunlight, sunlight in my soul today,
Sunlight, sunlight all along the way;
Since the Savior found me,
Took away my sin,
I have had the sunlight of His love within.
Tho' clouds may gather in the sky,
And billows round me roll,
However dark the world may be
I've sunlight in my soul.
[Chorus]
I cross the wide, extended fields,
I journey o'er the plain,
And in the sunlight of His love,
I reap the golden grain.
[Chorus]
Soon I shall seet Him as He is,
The Light that came to me;
Behold the brightness of His face,
Throughout eternity.

Bringing in the Sheaves
Sowing in the morning,
Sowing seeds of kindness,
Sowing in the noontide and the dewy eve;
Waiting for the harvest,
And the time of reaping.
We shall come rejoicing, bringing in the sheaves.
Chorus:
Bringing in the sheaves;
Bringing in the sheaves,
We shall come rejoicing,
Bringing in the sheaves. (Repeat Twice)
Sowing in the sunshine,
Sowing in the shadows,
Fearing neither clouds nor winter's chilling breeze,
By and by the harvest,
And the labor ended;
We shall come rejoicing,
Bringing in the sheaves.
[Chorus]
Going forth with weeping,
Sowing for the Master,
Though the loss sustained our spirit often grieves;
When our weeping's over,
He will bid us welcome,
We shall come rejoicing,
Bringing in the sheaves.
[Chorus]
