A New Name in Glory

Hymn lyrics and music by C. Austin Miles

Verse 1

• I was once a sinner, but I came
• Pardon to receive from my Lord:
• This was freely given, and I found
• That He always kept His word.

Chorus

• There’s a new name written down in glory,
• And it’s mine, O yes, it’s mine!
• And the white robed angels sing the story,
• “A sinner has come home.”
• For there’s a new name written down in glory,
• And it’s mine, O yes, it’s mine!
• With my sins forgiven I am bound for Heaven,
• Never more to roam.

Verse 2

• I was humbly kneeling at the cross,
• Fearing naught by God’s angry frown;
• When the heavens opened and I saw
• That my name was written down.

Chorus

Verse 3

• In the Book ’tis written, “Saved by Grace,”
• O the joy that came to my soul!
• Now I am forgiven, and I know
• By the blood I am made whole.

Abide With Me

Hymn lyrics by Henry F. Lyte,
Music by William H. Monk

Verse 1

• Abide with me; fast falls the eventide;
• The darkness deepens; Lord with me abide.
• When other helpers fail and comforts flee,
• Help of the helpless, O abide with me.

Verse 2

• Swift to its close ebbs out life’s little day;
• Earth’s joys grow dim; its glories pass away;
• Change and decay in all around I see;
• O Thou who changest not, abide with me.

Verse 3

• Not a brief glance I beg, a passing word;
• But as Thou dwell’st with Thy disciples, Lord,
• Familiar, condescending, patient, free.
• Come not to sojourn, but abide with me.

Verse 4

• Come not in terrors, as the King of kings,
• But kind and good, with healing in Thy wings,
• Tears for all woes, a heart for every plea—
• Come, Friend of sinners, and thus bide with me.

Verse 5

• Thou on my head in early youth didst smile;
• And, though rebellious and perverse meanwhile,
• Thou hast not left me, oft as I left Thee,
• On to the close, O Lord, abide with me.

Verse 6

• I need Thy presence every passing hour.
• What but Thy grace can foil the tempter’s power?
• Who, like Thyself, my guide and stay can be?
• Through cloud and sunshine, Lord, abide with me.

Verse 7

• I fear no foe, with Thee at hand to bless;
• Ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness.
• Where is death’s sting? Where, grave, thy victory?
• I triumph still, if Thou abide with me.

Verse 8

• Hold Thou Thy cross before my closing eyes;
• Shine through the gloom and point me to the skies.
• Heav’n’s morning breaks, and earth’s vain shadows flee;
• In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me.

Lead on, O King Eternal

Hymn lyrics by Earnest W. Shurtleff,
Music by Henry T. Smart

Verse 1

Lead on, O King eternal,

The day of march has come;

Henceforth in fields of conquest

Thy tents shall be our home.

Through days of preparation

Thy grace has made us strong;

And now, O King eternal,

We lift our battle song.

Verse 2

Lead on, O King eternal,

Till sin’s fierce war shall cease,

And holiness shall whisper

The sweet amen of peace.

For not with swords’ loud clashing,

Nor roll of stirring drums;

With deeds of love and mercy

The heavenly kingdom comes.

Verse 3

Lead on, O King eternal,

We follow, not with fears,

For gladness breaks like morning

Where’er Thy face appears.

Thy cross is lifted over us,

We journey in its light;

The crown awaits the conquest;

Lead on, O God of might.

Cleaving the sky,

Sun, moon, and stars forgot,

O Could I Speak the Matchless Worth

Hymn lyrics by Samuel Medley,
Music by Wolfgang Amedeus Mozart,
Adapted by Lowell Mason

Verse 1

O could I speak the matchless worth,

O could I sound the glories forth

Which in my Saviour shine!

I’d soar, and touch the heav’nly strings,

And vie with Gabriel while he sings

In notes almost divine,

In notes almost divine.

Verse 2

I’d sing the precious blood He spilt,

My ransom from the dreadful guilt

Of sin, and wrath divine;

I’d sing His glorious righteousness,

In which all perfect, heav’nly dress

My soul shall ever shine,

My soul shall ever shine.

Verse 3

I’d sing the characters He bears,

And all the forms of love He wears,

Exalted on His throne;

In loftiest songs of sweetest praise,

I would to everlasting days

Make all His glories known,

Make all His glories known.

Verse 4

Soon, the delightful day will come

When my dear Lord will bring me home,

And I shall see His face;

Then with my Savior, Brother, Friend,

A blest eternity I’ll spend,

Triumphant in His grace,

Triumphant in His grace.

I Saw the Cross of Jesus

Hymn lyrics by Frederick Whitfield,
Music by Arthur H. Mann

Verse 1

I saw the cross of Jesus, when burdened with my sin;

I sought the cross of Jesus, to give me peace within;

I brought my soul to Jesus, He cleansed it in His blood;

And in the cross of Jesus I found my peace with God.

Verse 2

I love the cross of Jesus, it tells me what I am—

A vile and guilty creature, saved only through the Lamb;

No righteousness nor merit, no beauty can I plead;

Yet in the cross I glory, my title there I read.

Verse 3

I trust the cross of Jesus, in every trying hour,

My sure and certain refuge, my never failing tow’r;

In every fear and conflict, I more than conqu’ror am;

Living, I’m safe, or dying, through Christ, the risen Lamb.

Verse 4

Safe in the cross of Jesus! There let my weary heart

Still rest in peace unshaken, till with Him, ne’er to part;

And then in strains of glory I’ll sing His wondrous pow’r,

Where sin can never enter, and death is known no more.

He Was Wounded for Our Transgressions

Hymn lyrics by Thomas O. Chisholm,
Music by Merrill Dunlop,
Copyright Status unknown

Verse 1

He was wounded for our transgressions,

He bore our sins in His body on the tree;

For our guilt He gave us peace,

From our bondage gave release,

And with His stripes,

And with His stripes,

And with His stripes our souls are healed.

Verse 2

He was numbered among transgressors,

We did esteem Him forsaken by His God;

As our sacrifice He died,

That the law be satisfied,

And all our sin,

And all our sin,

And all our sin was laid on Him.

Verse 3

We had wandered, we all had wandered

Far from the fold of the Shepherd of the sheep;

But He sought us where we were,

On the mountains bleak and bare,

And brought us home,

And brought us home,

And brought us safely home to God.

Verse 4

Who can number His generation?

Who shall declare all the triumphs of His Cross?

Millions, dead, now live again,

Myriads follow in His train!

Victorious Lord,

Victorious Lord,

Victorious Lord and coming King!

There’s no other way but this;

I shall ne’er get sight

Of the gates of light,

Where the soul is at home with God.

To walk in it never more;

For the Lord says, “Come,”

And I seek my home,

Where He waits at the open door.
