O Word of God, how marvelous

O Word of God, how marvelous
Thy wisdom and thy pow’r!
How manifold thy mightiness
To meet our need each hour!

With sound of thy sweet promises
Our longing hearts beat time;
Thy messages waft melody,
Like bells at ev’ning chime!

Thy warnings sound, how solemnly,
Alarms deep toned and dark;
Like fog bells on the rocky coast
That guide the storm tossed bark!

Thy piloting how sure, how safe,
Until, all breakers passed,
We triumph o’er each hurricane,
And anchor, home at last!

Chorus
O Word of God, how wondrously
Does thy sweet voice resound;
What gracious lovingkindnesses
In ev’ry tone abound!
     Louis A. Waterman

My Father loves, and He knows and cares

My Father loves, and He knows and cares,
And this keeps my mind in peace;
I may safely rest,
He will do what’s best,
For His goodness never will cease.

My Father knows when my way is dark,
And storm clouds are overhead;
He will choose my way,
Lead me day by day,
For He knows each step which I tread.

My Father cares when I’m left alone,
As loved ones are called away;
When each dear one goes,
Still my Father knows,-
He will let me join them some day.

Chorus
My Father’s love-such tender love,
He feels for His child today;
He can soothe my sorrow,
Give a bright tomorrow,-
I’ll trust my Father’s love!
     Ada R. Habershon

Lift up your heads, O eternal gates

Lift up your heads, O eternal gates!
Lift up, ye doors, for the King who awaits,
Clothed in His beauty and armed with might,
Crowned with salvation and glory and light!

Unto the captive proclaim release,
Unto the warrior the tidings of peace;
High over all will His banner wave,
Strong to deliver and mighty to save!

Blessed Redeemer desired so long!
Welcome Him now with a jubilant song;
He is our ransom from death and sin;
Lift up your heads, let the King enter in!

Chorus
Lift your heads, eternal gates!
Christ the King of glory will enter in!
     Harriet H. Pierson

The Saviour’s hand is clasping mine

The Saviour’s hand is clasping mine,
And all is well!
I’m blessed with fellowship divine,
And all is well!
I’m free at last from sin’s control,
And moving onward tow’rd the goal;
My Saviour’s love makes glad my soul,
And all is well!

I hear my Saviour’s whisper sweet,
And all is well!
He shields my soul when foes I meet,
And all is well!
No more beneath a load I bend;
My sighing days have had an end,
For I have found a perfect Friend,
And all is well!

My Saviour’s loving smile I see,
And all is well!
My hope, my joy, my life is He,
And all is well!
As in the sunshine of His face,
The narrow homeward path I trace,
I sing of His redeeming grace,
And all is well!

Chorus
All is well!  all is well!
My precious Guide is at my side,
And all is well!

Saved and kept by the power divine

Saved and kept by the power divine,
Saved to the uttermost, Jesus is mine!
He's redemption and righteousness too,
Trusting in Him all my life is made new.

Saved and kept ev’ry step of the way;
Christ is a Savior who saves ev’ry day,
Saves from bondage of sin and of strife,
Keeps in the sphere of His glorious life.

Saved and kept, never doubting His word,
Filled with the peace and the joy of my Lord;
Saved! no angel its meaning can know;
Kept by His grace daily whiter than snow!

Saved and kept till I look on His face,
Kept by Him unto the end of the race,
How my glad heart forever shall sing
Praises to Jesus, my Savior and King!

Chorus
Saved and kept, O the glorious word!
Saved and kept by a wonderful Lord!
He who was dead and is risen from the grave,
Lives and is able to keep and to save.
     C. D. Martin

I am saved from my sin, and to joy enter in

I am saved from my sin, and to joy enter in,-
With the heart I believe on the Saviour;
I have wonderful peace, from my burdens release,-
I believe on the Son of God.

‘Tis by faith I can say Jesus saves me today,-
With the heart I believe on the Saviour;
Waves of love o’er me roll, all is well with my soul,-
I believe on the Son of God.

There is comfort and rest on His sheltering breast,-
With the heart I believe on the Saviour;
I will praise Him in song, tell His love all day long,-
I believe on the Son of God.

Chorus
I believe, I believe,
With the heart I believe on the Saviour;
I believe, I believe,
I believe on the Son of God!

Saved by the blood of the Crucified One

Saved by the blood of the Crucified One,
Ransomed from sin and a new work begun,
Sing praise to the Father and praise to the Son,
Saved by the blood of the Crucified One!

Saved by the blood of the Crucified One,
The angels rejoicing because it is done;
A child of the Father, joint heir with the Son,
Saved by the blood of the Crucified One!

Saved by the blood of the Crucified One!
The Father, He spoke, and His will it was done;
Great price of my pardon, His own precious Son;
Saved by the blood of the Crucified One!

Saved by the blood of the Crucified One!
All hail to the Father, all hail to His Son,
All hail to the Spirit, the great Three in One!
Saved by the blood of the Crucified One!

Chorus
Saved!  saved!  my sins are all pardoned,
My guilt is all gone;
Saved!  saved! 
I am saved by the blood of the Crucified One!
