• [Isa 40:1] Comfort, Comfort Ye My People

  Comfort, comfort ye My people, Speak ye peace, thus saith our God; Comfort those who sit in darkness, Mourning ’neath their sorrow’s load; Speak ye to Jerusalem Of the peace that waits for them; Tell her that her sins I cover, And her warfare now is over. For the herald’s voice is crying In the desert far and near, Bidding all men to repentance, Since the kingdom now is here. O that warning cry obey! Now prepare for God a way! Let the valleys rise to meet Him, And the hills bow down to greet Him. Yea, her sins our God will pardon, Blotting out each dark misdeed; All that well deserved His anger He will no more see nor heed. She has suffered many a day, Now her griefs have passed away, God will change her pining sadness Into ever springing gladness. Make ye straight what long was crooked, Make the rougher places plain: Let your hearts be true and humble, As befits His holy reign, For the glory of the Lord Now o’er the earth is shed abroad, And all flesh shall see the token That His Word is never broken.

  Safe home, safe home in port! Rent cordage, shattered deck, Torn sails, provisions short, And only not a wreck; But oh! the joy upon the shore To tell our voyage—perils o’er! The prize, the prize secure! The athlete nearly fell; Bare all he could endure, And bare not always well; But he may smile at troubles gone Who sets the victor-garland on. No more the foe can harm; No more of leaguered camp, And cry of night alarm, And need of ready lamp; And yet how nearly he had failed— How nearly had that foe prevailed! The lamb is in the fold, In perfect safety penned; The lion once had hold, And thought to make an end; But One came by with wounded side, And for the sheep the Shepherd died. The exile is at home! O nights and days of tears, O longings not to roam, O sins and doubts and fears; What matters now grief’s darkest day? The King has wiped those tears away

Through desert ways, dark fen and deep morass, Through jungles, sluggish seas, and mountain pass, Build now the road, and falter not, nor stay; Prepare across the earth the King’s highway. Where once the twisting trail in darkness wound, Let marching feet and joyous song resound, Where burn the funeral pyres, and censers swing, Make straight, make straight the highway of the King. Lord, give us faith and strength the road to build, To see the promise of the day fulfilled, When war shall be no more, and strife shall cease Upon the highway of the Prince of Peace.

  The voice says, “Cry!” What shall we cry? “All flesh is grass, and like the flower Its glories droop, its pleasures die, Its joys but last one fleeting hour.” The voice says, “Cry!” O piteous cry! And are there none to help and save? Have all that live beneath the sky No other prospect but a grave? The voice says, “Cry!” Yet glorious cry! The Word of God can never fall, And tells how Jesus, throned on high, Holds out eternal life to all. The voice says, “Cry!” Who needs the cry? O brother men! who needs it not? By countless millions, far and nigh, ’Tis still unheard, despised, forgot. The voice says, “Cry!” What stops the cry? Our greed of wealth, our love of ease, Our lack of earnest will to try Mankind to save, and God to please. The voice says, “Cry!” O let us cry! Though standing on death’s awful brink, Men feast, they jest, they sell, they buy, And cannot see, and will not think. The voice says, “Cry!” Lord, we would cry But of Thy goodness teach us how; For fast the hours of mercy fly, And, if we cry, it must be now!

  The Bible stands like a rock undaunted ’Mid the raging storms of time; Its pages burn with the truth eternal, And they glow with a light sublime. Refrain The Bible stands though the hills may tumble, It will firmly stand when the earth shall crumble; I will plant my feet on its firm foundation, For the Bible stands. The Bible stands like a mountain towering Far above the works of men; Its truth by none ever was refuted, And destroy it they never can. Refrain The Bible stands and it will forever, When the world has passed away; By inspiration it has been given, All its precepts I will obey. Refrain The Bible stands every test we give it, For its Author is divine; By grace alone I expect to live it, And to prove and to make it mine. Refrain

• [Isa 40:8] Old Book Stands, The

  From the Word of God light is shining brightly out O’er life’s ocean, tempest driv’n, Guiding past the rocks and the hidden shoals of doubt To the blissful port of Heav’n. Refrain The old Book stands! O yes, it stands! Firm as a rock ’mid shifting sands! Billows may run high, tempests sweep the sky; Firmly the old Book stands! All its promises are more precious, far, than gold, Or than pearls from deepest sea; “Whosoever will” is the truth it doth unfold, Precious truth for you and me. Refrain In this precious Book is the dear old story told, Of the Savior and His love; And with joy we read of the streets of purest gold, The Jerusalem above. Refrain Precious Book of life, let us treasure each command, Heeding every precept giv’n, Till the strife is o’er and victorious we stand With the blood washed throng in Heav’n. Refrain

• [Isa 40:11] Gracious Savior, Gentle Shepherd

  Gracious Savior, gentle Shepherd, Our little ones are dear to Thee; Gathered with Thine arms and carried In Thy bosom may they be Sweetly, gently, safely tended, From all want and danger free. Tender Shepherd, never leave them From Thy fold to go astray; By Thy look of love directed, May they walk the narrow way; Thus direct them, and protect them, Lest they fall an easy prey. Let Thy holy Word instruct them: Fill their minds with heav’nly light; Let Thy love and grace constrain them, To approve whate’er is right, Take Thine easy yoke and wear it, And to prove Thy burden light. Cleanse their hearts from sinful folly In the stream Thy love supplied; Mingled streams of blood and water Flowing from Thy wounded side; And to heav’nly pastures lead them, Where Thine own still waters glide.

• [Isa 40:11] Happy Soul, That, Free From Harms

  Happy soul, that, free from harms, Rests within his Shepherd’s arms! Who his quiet shall molest? Who shall violate his rest? Jesus doth his spirit bear; Jesus takes his every care; He Who found the wandering sheep, Jesus, still delights to keep. O that I might so believe, Steadfastly to Jesus cleave; On His only love rely, Smile at the destroyer nigh; Free from sin and servile fear, Have my Jesus ever near; All His care rejoice to prove, All His paradise of love! Jesus, seek Thy wandering sheep; Bring me back, and lead, and keep; Take on Thee my every care; Bear me, on Thy bosom bear; Let me know my Shepherd’s voice; More and more in Thee rejoice; More and more of Thee receive; Ever in Thy spirit live. Live, till all Thy life I know, Perfect, through my Lord, below; Gladly then from earth remove, Gathered to the fold above; O that I at last may stand, With the sheep at Thy right hand; Take the crown so freely given, Enter in by Thee to Heaven!

  I am Jesus’ little lamb, Ever glad at heart I am; For my Shepherd gently guides me, Knows my need, and well provides me, Loves me every day the same, Even calls me by my name. Day by day, at home, away, Jesus is my Staff and Stay. When I hunger, Jesus feeds me, Into pleasant pastures leads me; When I thirst, He bids me go Where the quiet waters flow. Who so happy as I am, Even now the Shepherd’s lamb? And when my short life is ended, By His angel host attended, He shall fold me to His breast, There within His arms to rest.

• [Isa 40:11] Shepherd, Show Me How To Go

  Shepherd, show me how to go O’er the hillside steep, How to gather, how to sow, How to feed Thy sheep. I will listen for Thy voice, Lest my footsteps stray; I will follow and rejoice All the rugged way. Thou wilt bind the stubborn will, Wound the callous breast, Make self righteousness be still, Break earth’s stupid rest. Strangers on a barren shore, Laboring long and lone, We would enter by the door, And Thou knowest Thine own. So, when day grows dark and cold, Tear or triumph harms, Lead Thy lambkins to the fold, Take them in Thine arms. Feed the hungry, heal the heart, Till the morning’s beam; White as wool, ’ere they depart, Shepherd, wash them clean.

• [Isa 40:28] Have You Not Known, Have You Not Heard

  Have you not known, have you not heard That firm remains on high The everlasting throne of Him Who formed the earth and sky? Are you afraid His power shall fail When comes your evil day? And can an all creating arm Grow weary or decay? Supreme in wisdom as in power The Rock of Ages stands, Though Him you cannot see, nor trace The working of His hands. He gives the conquest to the weak, Supports the fainting heart; And courage in the evil hour His heavenly aids impart. Mere human power shall fast decay, And youthful vigor cease; But they who wait upon the Lord In strength shall still increase. They with unwearied feet shall tread The path of life divine; With growing ardor onward move, With growing brightness shine. On eagles’ wings they mount, they soar, Their wings are faith and love; Till, past the cloudy regions here, They rise to Heav’n above.

Lay aside all fear, and onward pressing, Bravely fight, and God will give His blessing; Though the war at times may prove distressing, Never mind, go on!

Faithful be, delaying not to follow Where Christ leads, though it may be through sorrow; If the strife should fiercer grow tomorrow, Never mind, go on! Cheerful be, it will your burdens lighten, One glad heart will always others brighten; Though the strife the coward’s soul may frighten, Never mind, go on!

Do your best in fighting for your Savior, For His sake fear not to lose men’s favor; If beside you should a comrade waver, Never mind, go on! Refrain
