Song Book

Who the Son sets free
Oh is free indeed
I’m a child of God
Yes I am

In my Father’s house
There’s a place for me
I’m a child of God
Yes I am
59. SOWING IN THE MORNING

1. 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.

Refrain:
Bringing in the sheaves, bringing in the sheaves,
We shall come rejoicing, bringing in the sheaves;
Bringing in the sheaves, bringing in the sheaves,
We shall come rejoicing, bringing in the sheaves.

2. 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.

3. 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.

60. GUIDE ME, O THOU

1. Guide me, O Thou great Jehovah
Pilgrim through this barren land
I am weak, but Thou art mighty;
Hold me with Thy powerful hand
Bread of heaven, bread of heaven
Feed me till I want no more;
Feed me till I want no more

2. Open now the crystal fountain
Whence the stream both flow;
Let the fire and cloudy pillar
Lead me all my journey through
Strong Deliverer, strong Deliverer
Be Thou still my Strength and Shield;
Be Thou still my Strength and Shield

3. When I tread the verge of Jordan
Bid my anxious fears subside;
Death of death and hell's destruction
Land me safe on Canaan's side
Songs of praises, songs of praises
I will ever give to Thee;
I will ever give to Thee

61. I'M NO LONGER A SLAVE TO FEAR

1. You unravel me, with a melody
You surround me with a song
Of deliverance, from my enemies
Till all my fears are gone

Page | 152

[Chorus]
I'm no longer a slave to fear
I am a child of God
I'm no longer a slave to fear
I am a child of God

I am a child of God

[Verse 2]
2. From my mother's womb

You have chosen me
Your love has called my name
I've been born again, into Your family
Your blood flows through my veins

62. ONWARD CHRISTIAN SOLDIERS!
1. Onward Christian soldiers!
Marching as to war,
With the cross of Jesus
Going on before.
Christ, the royal Master,
Leads against the foe;
Forward into battle,
See, His banners go!
Onward, Christian soldiers!
Marching as to war,
With the cross of Jesus,
Going on before.

Page | 153

2. At the sign of triump
Satan’s host doth flee;

On then, Christian soldiers,
On to victory!

Hell’s foundations quiver
At the shout of praise:

Brothers, lift your voices,
Loud your anthems raise!

3. Like a mighty army
Moves the Church of God:

Brothers, we are treading
Where the saints have trod;

We are not divided,
All one Body we—

One in hope and doctrine,
one in charity.
4. Crowns and thrones may perish,
Kingdoms rise and wane;
But the Church of Jesus
Constant will remain.
Gates of hell can never
’Gainst the Church prevail;
We have Christ’s own promise,
Which can never fail.
5. Onward, then, ye people!
Join our happy throng;
Blend with ours your voices
In the triumph song.
Glory, laud and honor

Page | 154

Unto Christ, the King;
This through countless ages

Men and angels sing.

And by faith we can see it afar;
For the Father waits over the way
To prepare us a dwelling place there.

By and by by and by,
We shall meet on that beautiful shore;
In the sweet in the sweet
By and by by and by
We shall meet on that beautiful shore.

The melodious songs of the blest,
And our spirits shall sorrow no more
Not a sigh for the blessing of rest.

We will offer our tribute of praise;
For the glorious gift of His love
And the blessings that fallow our days.

64. I LIFT MY EYES UP
I lift my eyes up
Up to the mountains
Where does my help come from?
My help comes from You
Maker of Heaven
Creator of the earth

Oh, how I need You Lord
You are my only hope
You're my only prayer
So I will wait for You
To come and rescue me
Come and give me life.

65. WHILE SHEPHERDS WATCHED

1. While shepherds watched their flocks by night,
All seated on the ground,
The angel of the Lord came down,
And glory shone around.

2. “Fear not!” said he, for mighty dread
Had seized their troubled mind;
“Glad tidings of great joy I bring
To you and all mankind.

3. “To you, in David’s town, this day
Is born of David’s line

Page | 156

A Savior, who is Christ the Lord,
And this shall be the sign:

4. “The heav’nly Babe you there shall find
To human view displayed,
All meanly wrapped in swathing bands,
And in a manger laid.”

5. Thus spake the seraph and forthwith
Appeared a shining throng
Of angels praising God on high,
Who thus addressed their song:

6. “All glory be to God on high,
And to the Earth be peace;
Good will henceforth from heav’n to men
Begin and never cease!”

66. COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS

1. 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.

Refrain:
Count your blessings, name them one by one;

Page | 157

Count your blessings, see what God hath done;
Count your blessings, name them one by one;
Count your many blessings, see what God hath
done.

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

3. 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 home on high.
(Refrain)

4. 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.

by his own hand he leadeth me:
his faithful follower I would be,

sometimes where Eden's flowers bloom,
by waters still, o'er troubled sea,
still 'tis God's hand that leadeth me. Refrain

nor ever murmur nor repine;
content, whatever lot I see,
since 'tis my God that leadeth me. Refrain

The Bible tells me so.

I will henceforth live for Thee.

70. ON A HILL FAR AWAY STOOD AN OLD RUGGED
CROSS

1. On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross,
The emblem of suff’ring and shame;
And I love that old cross where the Dearest and Best
For a world of lost sinners was slain.

Refrain:
So I’ll cherish the old rugged cross,
Till my trophies at last I lay down;
I will cling to the old rugged cross,
And exchange it someday for a crown.

2. Oh, that old rugged cross, so despised by the world,
Has a wondrous attraction for me;
For the dear Lamb of God left His glory above
To bear it to dark Calvary.

3. In that old rugged cross, stained with blood so divine,
A wondrous beauty I see,
For ’twas on that old cross Jesus suffered and died,
To pardon and sanctify me.

Page | 162

4. To the old rugged cross I will ever be true;
Its shame and reproach gladly bear;
Then He’ll call me someday to my home far away,
Where His glory forever I’ll share.

71. SITTING AT THE FEET OF JESUS,
1. Sitting at the feet of Jesus,
Oh, what words I hear Him say!
Happy place! so near, so precious!
May I find it there each day;
Sitting at the feet of Jesus,
I would look upon the past;
For His love has been so gracious,
It has won my heart at last.
2. Sitting at the feet of Jesus,
Where can mortal be more blest?
There I lay my sins and sorrows,
And, when weary, find sweet rest;
Sitting at the feet of Jesus,
There I love to weep and pray;
While I from His fullness gather
Grace and comfort every day.
3. Bless me, O my Savior, bless me,
As I I’m waiting at Thy feet
Oh, look down in love upon me,
Let me see Thy face so sweet;

Page | 163

Give me, Lord, the mind of Jesus,
Keep me holy as He is;
May I prove I’ve been with Jesus,
Who is all my righteousness.

72. SITTING BY THE WAYSIDE
1. Sitting by the wayside,
sinful, weak and blind,
Waiting in my darkness for the day;
O Thou Saviour, Jesus,
Merciful and kind,
Hear me now, and take my sins away!

No one knows my sorrow,
no one cares for me—
Waiting in the darkness for the day;
Hear a sinner pleading,
pleading, Lord with Thee—
Jesus, come and take my sins away!

2. Long in darkness waiting,
weary, sad and lone,
How I long Thy glorious face to see!
O Thou blessed Jesus
make me all Thine own;

Page | 164

Speak the word, and Thou canst set me free!

3. Weary with my blindless,
waiting all the day,
Weary with my sorrow and my pain;
O Thou Son of David,
pass me not, I pray:
Leave me not in hopeless night again!

4. Sitting by the wayside,
sinful, weak and blind.
Is there any hope for one like me?
Something seems to whisper
in my darkened mind,
“Christ has power to set the sinner free.”

73. GREAT IS THY FAITHFULNESS

there is no shadow of turning with thee;
thou changest not, thy compassions, they fail
not;
as thou hast been thou forever wilt be.

Great is thy faithfulness!
Great is thy faithfulness!
Morning by morning new mercies I see:
all I have needed thy hand hath provided--
Great is thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me!

2. Summer and winter and springtime and harvest,
sun, moon, and stars in their courses above
join with all nature in manifold witness
to thy great faithfulness, mercy, and love.
[Refrain]

Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth,
thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide,
strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow,
blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside!
[Refrain]

radiant beams from thy holy face
with the dawn of redeeming grace,

Jesus, Lord, at thy birth.

wondrous star, lend thy light;

A sleighing song tonight.
