1. Nearer, my God to thee,

Nearer, my God to thee, Nearer to thee; E'en though it be a cross That raiseth me, Still all my song shall be, Nearer my God to thee, Nearer to thee.

Though, like the wanderer, The sun gone down, Darkness be over me, My rest a stone, Yet in my dreams l'd be Nearer, my God to thee, Nearer to thee!

There let the way appear Steps unto heaven; All that thou send'st to me In mercy given; Angels to beckon me Nearer, my God, to thee Nearer to thee!

Then, with my waking thoughts Bright with thy praise Out of my stony griefs Bethel l'll raise; So by my woes to be Nearer, my God, to thee Nearer to thee!

Or if on joyful wing Cleaving the sky, Sun, moon, and stars forgot, Upwards I fly, Still all my songs shall be Nearer, my God, to thee Nearer to thee! RH. 400, Sarah F. Adams 97

Who is on the lord's side? Who will serve the king? Who will be his helpers? Other lives to bring? Who will leave the world's side? Who will face the foe? Who is on the Lord's side? Who for him will go? By Thy call of mercy, By Thy grace divine, We are on the lord's side, Saviour, we are thine!

Not for weight of glory, Not for crown and palm, Enter we the army Raise the warrior psalm; But for love that claimeth Lives for whom he died; He whom Jesus nameth Must be on his side; By thy love constraining By thy grace divine We are on the lord's side Saviour, we are thine!

Jesus, thou hast bought us, Not with gold or gem, But with thine own life-blood For thy diadem; With thy blessing filling All who come to thee, Thou hast made us willing Thou hast made us free By thy grand redemption. 35 By thy grace divine We are on the Lord's side Saviour we are thine!

Fierce may be the conflict, Strong may be the foe; But the king's own many None-can overthrow, Round his standard ranging, Victory is secure, For his truth unchanging Makes the triumph sure, Joyfully enlisting, By thy grace divine, We are on the lord's side; Saviour, we are thine.
