Just as I Am

Just as I am, without one plea
s
But that Thy blood was shed for me
s
And that Thou bid’st me come to Thee
s
O Lamb of God, I come
s

Just as I am, and waiting not
s
To rid my soul of one dark blot
s
To Thee whose blood can cleanse each spot
s
O Lamb of God, I come
s

Just as I am, though tossed about
s
With many a conflict and many a doubt
s
Fightings within and fears without
s
O Lamb of God, I come
s
Just as I am, Thou wilt receive
s
Wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve
s
Because Thy promise I believe
s
O Lamb of God, I come
s

Just as I am, of fed, free love
s
The breadth, length, the height to prove
s
Heal, four seasons and then above
s
O Lamb of God, I come
s
Lamb of God, I come
s

Let the Lower Lights Be Burning

Brightly beams our Father’s mercy
x
From His lighthouse evermore
x
But to us He gives the keeping
x
Of the lights along the shore
x

Let the lower lights be burning!
x
Send a gleam across the wave!
x
Some poor, fainting, struggling seaman
x
You may rescue, you may save
x

Dark the night of sin has settled
x
Loud the angry billows roar
x
Eager eyes are watching, longing
x
For the lights along the shore
x

Let the lower lights be burning!
x
Send a gleam across the wave!
x
Some poor, fainting, struggling seaman
x
You may rescue, you may save
x

Trim your feeble lamp, my sister
x
Some poor sailor, tempest-tossed
x
Trying now to make the harbor
x
In the darkness may be lost
x

Let the lower lights be burning!
x
Send a gleam across the wave!
x
Some poor, fainting, struggling seaman
x
You may rescue, you may save
x
Some poor, fainting, struggling seaman
x
You may rescue, you may save
x

Unclouded Sky

Oh, they tell me of a home far beyond the skies

Oh, they tell me of a home where no storm clouds rise

Oh, they tell me of an unclouded day

Oh, the land of cloudless days

Oh, they tell me of an unclouded day

Oh, they tell me that He smiles on His children there

And His smile drives their sorrows away

Church in the Wildwood

Come to the Church in the Wildwood
d
Oh come to the church in the veil
d
No spot is so dear to my childhood
d
As the little brown church in the veil
d

[?] close by the side of a loved one
d
Beneath the tree where the wildflowers bloom
d
[?] they are calling, “your first daughter is in the tomb”
d

Come, come, come, come, come to the Church in the Wildwood
d
Oh come to the church in the veil
d
No spot is so dear to my childhood
d
As the little brown church in the veil
d

How sweet on a clear Sabbath morning
d
To listen to the clear ringing bell
d
It’s tone so sweetly calling
d
Oh come to the church in the veil
d

Come, come, come, come, come to the Church in the Wildwood
d
Oh come to the church in the veil
d
No spot is so dear to my childhood
d
As the little brown church in the veil
d

No spot is so dear to my childhood
d
As the little brown church in the veil

Wreck on the Highway

What did you say it was, brother?
d
Who was it fell by the way?
d
When whiskey and blood run together
d
Did you hear anyone pray?
d

I didn’t hear nobody pray, dear brother
d
I didn’t hear anyone pray
d
I heard the crash on the highway
d
But, I didn’t hear anybody pray
d

When I heard the crash on the highway
d
I knew what it was from the start
d
I went to the scene of destruction
d
And a picture was stamped on my heart
d
There was whiskey and blood all together
d
Mixed with glass where they lay
d
Death played her hand in destruction
d
But I didn’t hear anyone pray
d

Their soul has been called by the Master
d
They died in a crash on the way
d
And I heard the groans of the dying
d
But, I didn’t hear anyone pray
d

I didn’t hear anyone pray, dear brother
d
I didn’t hear anyone pray
d
I heard the crash on the highway
d
But, I didn’t hear anyone pray

Lonesome Valley

You’re gonna walk, in the lonesome valley
d
You’re gonna go , there by yourself
d
There’ll be no one to walk there with you
d
You’re gonna go, there by yourself
d

Mother said, when she was dying
d
Just before her breath was gone
d
That you must trust the path to Jesus
d
Or you will be left alone
d

Someone said John was a baptist
d
Others say he was a jew
d
But my hope in the bible tells us
d
That he was a preacher too
d

You’re gonna lie in the lonesome graveyard
d
You’re gonna lie there by yourself
d
There’ll be no one to lie there with you
d
You’re gonna lie there by yourself
d

There’ll be no one to lie there with you
d
You’re gonna lie there by yourself
d

I’ll Fly Away

Some glad morning when this life is over
s
I’ll fly away
s
To a home on god’s celestial shore
s
I’ll fly away
s
I’ll fly away, oh glory
s
I’ll fly away
s

When I die hallelujah high and by
s
I’ll fly away
s
When the shadows of this life are gone
s
I’ll fly away
s
Like a bird from prison bars has flown
s
I’ll fly away
s
I’ll fly away oh glory
s
I’ll fly away
s
When I die hallelujah high and by
s
I’ll fly away
s

Just a few more weary days and then
s
I’ll fly away
s
To a land where joy will never end
s
I’ll fly away
s

I’ll fly away, oh glory
s
I’ll fly away
s
When I die hallelujah high and by
s
I’ll fly away
s
When I die hallelujah high and by
s
I’ll fly away
s

Blood of the Lamb

The blood of the lamb
d
Runs a flood over our losing town
d
A serpent has spoiled itself among our hopes
d
And licks at the blood of the lamb
d
Our calls mocked in the face of heaven
d
The moon as red as the blood of our prayer
d
A devil hunched itself upon our crying child
d
And toys with the blood of the lamb
d
The desert has revealed us our true dust
d
A doubt in faith is choked down in blood
d
The desert You created, the desert free from comforts
d
Desires wrested from lamb’s blood
d
Blood of the lamb colored as black and not as red
d
Three drops of peace colored as black and not as red
d
Forgive these wails of ungraciousness, ungraciousness for our own debts
d
The blood of the lamb is sweeter than our own
d
