Incline Your Ear
06:38
|
|||
Come, everyone who thirsts
Come now, to the water
And he who has no money
Come now, come buy and eat
Incline your ear and come to me
Hear, that your soul may live
Seek the Lord while he may be found
Call on him, while he's near
And let the wicked one forsake his way
The unrighteous man, his thoughts
Incline your ear and come to me
Hear, that your soul may live
Listen diligently to me, eat what is good
Delight yourselves in rich food
Come, buy wine and milk
Without money, without price
Why do you spend your money for that which is not bread?
And you labor for what does not satisfy

Sing praises to the Lord: the Wise, the Good, the Grand
Who formed us by his word, who leads us with his hand
Sing praises to our God, who made the world to be
Who spread the skies abroad and filled the sounding sea
The Lord will prove a faithful Friend
His might and love will never end
Sing praise to Him whose eye beheld us near the grave
And sent His Son from high to succor and to save
Sing creatures all below, sing angels in the height
Ye all your tributes owe, let all in praise unite

There Is a Peace
05:53
|
|||
On God I've called in trouble's hour,
And never have I called in vain
Again afflictions 'round me lower
Lord, hear and help again
A stranger's lot, a pilgrim's fare
Is all I meet below
In every sweet I find a snare
In every smile, a foe
Woe is me, that I must roam
So long in this land of tears
When shall my spirit reach her home
Above all foes and fears?
There is a peace that none can break,
A joy that ne'er shall flee
When shall I lay me down to wake
To these, oh Lord, and thee?

Lead Us Safely Home
01:59
|
|||
Rebuke us, Father, but in love
Let all Thy chastening mercies prove
With every stroke, Thy grace impart
And let them move, not break, the heart
Thy hand is heavy, but our sin is heavier still our souls within
It whelms, it sinks us to the grave
Arise, Redeemer, help and save
Our hearts are open, Lord, to Thee
Our inmost wish, Thine eye can see
Thou know'st our dangers, foes and snares
And will not scorn our humble prayers
In Thee we hope, on Thee we rest
Oh, give us what Thou seest best
Our guide through every trial past
Oh, lead us safely home at last

Let the Earth Be Glad
02:34
|
|||
The Lord is King, let the earth be glad
He comes in heavenly glory clad
To fix in human hearts his throne
And make the mighty world his own
Darkness and clouds around him move
Himself is everlasting love
Ye heathen at his footstool fall
Ye gods adore the God of all
Rejoice ye saints; the King of kings
Appears with healing in his wings
Rejoice, your Savior God to view
He brings but hope and peace to you
O follow good and evil flee
His presence then your joy shall be
Light for his people here is sown
The full fruit reaped in heaven alone

Who Shall Separate Us?
06:20
|
|||
Let the sunshine quit my sky
Let the sharp east wind assail
Let the fightings from without
And the fears within prevail.
Only, only, only call me thine,
Only, only let me call thee mine,
And all shall be well.
All shall be well.
Let dark disappointment come
Let affection’s cherished dreams
Vanish like the bloom of spring
Like the rainbow’s passing gleams.
Let the broken bonds of love
Leave a void within my breast;
Let the farewells of each day
Remind me this is not my rest.

Until I See
07:06
|
|||
Sometimes I wonder if you ever tire from my tired line:
"Declare me innocent from my hidden faults."
More often than I care to admit
I don't perceive my own brokenness
Until I see the mess I've made
Until I see I need your hand
Sometimes I wonder if I will ever learn
Your grace depends so little on me
And that you still speak
Help me see your commands give light,
Radiant light to my eyes
Help me believe your decrees are firm
All of them are righteous

Speak To My Soul
05:54
|
|||
Grave on my spirit, Son of God, the lessons of Thy light,
Once spoken on this earth of ours, to us the Sons of night
Repeat those glimpses of the light, repeat them hour by hour
Pour in the gladness they impart with richer, fuller power
Repeat the whispers of Thy love, the still small voice of peace
Speak to my soul 'till every part takes in the blessedness
Recall the messages of love for latest ages given,
Once uttered underneath these skies and sent down from heaven
“Lo, I am with you evermore, tho' parted from your sight,
Abide in me, and I in you, so shall thou walk in light.”
Show me the upper room where Thou gave the first bread and wine
recall the wonders of that feast, the words of truth divine.
The love that passeth knowledge, shed abroad within my soul.
The love that soothes the troubled heart and makes the broken whole.
“Lo, I am with you evermore, tho' parted from your sight,
Abide in me, and I in you, so shall thou walk in light.”
Unfold the vastness of that love, let all its fullness shine
Into the innermost recess of this poor heart of mine.
