Spread the blessed tidings all the world around:

Tell the joyful news wherever man is found,

"Whosoever will may come."

Whosoever will, whosoever will!

Send the proclamation over vale and hill;

'Tis a loving Father calls the wanderer home.

"Whosoever will may come."

Now the door is open, enter while you may;
Jesus is the true, the only Living Way:
"Whosoever will may come."

A PASSION FOR SOULS
I.

Give me a passion for souls, dear Lord,

A passion to save the lost;

O that Thy love were by all adored,

And welcomed at any cost.

Chorus:

Jesus, I long, I long to be winning

Men who are lost, and constantly sinning;

O may this hour be one of beginning

The story of pardon to tell.

II.

Though there are dangers untold and stern

Confronting me in the way,
Willingly still would I go, nor turn,
But trust Thee for grace each day.

III.

How shall this passion for souls be mine?

Lord, make Thou the answer clear;
Help me to throw out the old Life-line
To those who are struggling near.
GOD WILL TAKE CARE OF YOU
I.

Be not dismayed whate’er betide,

God will take care of you;

Beneath his wings of love abide,

God will take care of you.

Chorus:

God will take care of you,

through ev'ry day, o’er all the way;

He will take care of you,

God will take care of you.

Through days of toil when heart doth fail,

God will take care of you;
When dangers fierce your path assail,
God will take care of you.

No matter what may be the test,

God will take care of you;
Lean, weary one, upon his breast,
God will take care of you.
I KNOW HIS LOVE IS MINE
I.

Oh! the love that gave my Lord to die on Calvary!

Matchless love untold, purer far than gold;

Love that offered all upon the cross to set me free,

This is the love of Christ for me.

Chorus:

Precious love, oh, wondrous love divine—

Can it be this matchless love is mine?

Yes! its power thrills me, and its glory fills me;

Praise His name, I know His love is mine.

II.

Oh! the love that sought me when I wandered far away!

Bidding me come in from the paths of sin;
Pleading with me gently every hour, every day,
Such was the love of Christ for me.

III.

Oh! the love that opened wide the gates of God on high!
For His ransomed own, ’round the heav’nly throne;
Love divine, I’ll understand it fully bye and bye,
Oh! wondrous love of Christ for me.
A MIGHTY FORTRESS IS OUR GOD
I.

A mighty fortress is our God, a bulwark never failing;

our helper he, amid the flood of mortal ills prevailing.

For still our ancient foe does seek to work us woe;

his craft and power are great, and armed with cruel hate,

on earth is not his equal.

II.

Did we in our own strength confide, our striving would be losing,

were not the right Man on our side, the Man of God's own choosing.
You ask who that may be? Christ Jesus, it is he;
Lord Sabaoth his name, from age to age the same;
and he must win the battle.

III.

And though this world, with devils filled, should threaten to undo us,
we will not fear, for God has willed his truth to triumph through us.
The prince of darkness grim, we tremble not for him;
his rage we can endure, for lo! his doom is sure;
one little word shall fell him.

IV

That Word above all earthly powers no thanks to them abideth;

the Spirit and the gifts are ours through him who with us sideth.
Let goods and kindred go, this mortal life also;
the body they may kill: God's truth abideth still;
his kingdom is forever!
GIVE OF YOUR BEST TO THE MASTER
I.

Give of your best to the Master; Give of the strength of your youth;

Throw your soul’s fresh, glowing ardor Into the battle for truth.

Jesus has set the example, Dauntless was He, young and brave;

Give Him your loyal devotion; Give Him the best that you have.

Refrain:

Give of your best to the Master;

Give of the strength of your youth;

Clad in salvation’s full armor,

Join in the battle for truth.

II.

Give of your best to the Master; Give Him first place in your heart;
Give Him first place in your service; Consecrate every part.
Give, and to you will be given; God His beloved Son gave;
Gratefully seeking to serve Him, Give Him the best that you have.

III.

Give of your best to the Master; Naught else is worthy His love;
He gave Himself for your ransom, Gave up His glory above.
Laid down His life without murmur, You from sin’s ruin to save;
Give Him your heart’s adoration, Give Him the best that you have.
ALL THE WAY MY SAVIOR LEADS ME

I.

All the way my Savior leads me– What have I to ask beside?

Can I doubt His tender mercy, Who through life has been my guide?

Heav’nly peace, divinest comfort, Here by faith in Him to dwell!

For I know, whate’er befall me, Jesus doeth all things well;

For I know, whate’er befall me, Jesus doeth all things well.

II.

All the way my Savior leads me– Cheers each winding path I tread,
Gives me grace for ev'ry trial, Feeds me with the living bread.
Though my weary steps may falter And my soul athirst may be,
Gushing from the rock before me, Lo! a spring of joy I see;
Gushing from the rock before me, Lo! A spring of joy I see.

III.

All the way my Savior leads me– Oh, the fullness of His love!
Perfect rest to me is promised In my Father’s house above.
When my spirit, clothed immortal, Wings its flight to realms of day,
This my song through endless ages: Jesus led me all the way;
This my song through endless ages: Jesus led me all the way.
HE IS MINE

I.

There is a Shepherd who cares for His own, and He is mine;

Nothing am I, He’s a King on a throne, but He is mine;

How can He love such a sinner as I, though He is mine,

I cannot fathom though often I try, but He is mine.

Chorus:

He is mine; He is mine;

Though it is wonderful, yet it is true,

That He is mine.

II.

Jesus left Heaven my Savior to be, and He is mine;

I am not worth all He suffered for me, but He is mine;
Though I’m not worthy He dwells in my heart, and He is mine;
From Him I’ll never, no, never depart, for He is mine.

III.

There is a Comforter come from above, He, too, is mine,

Coming to me to reveal Jesus’ love, and that is mine;
Shepherd and Savior, and Comforter, too, They all are mine;
That’s why I know the old story is true, They all are mine.
HE IS SO PRECIOUS TO ME
I.

So precious is Jesus, my Savior, my King,

His praise all the day long with rapture I sing;

To Him in my weakness for strength I can cling,

For He is so precious to me.

Chorus:

For He is so precious to me, (so precious to me,)

For He is so precious to me; (so precious to me;)

'Tis heaven below, my Redeemer to know,

For He is so precious to me.

II.
He stood at my heart's door in sunshine and rain
And patiently waited an entrance to gain;
What shame that so long He entreated in vain,
For He is so precious to me.

III.
I stand on the mountain of blessing at last,
No cloud in the heavens a shadow to cast;
His smile is upon me, the valley is past,
For He is so precious to me.

IV.
I praise Him because He appointed a place
Where, someday, through faith in His wonderful grace,
I know I shall see Him, shall look on His face,
For He is so precious to me.
GRACE GREATER THAN OUR SIN
I.

Marvelous grace of our loving Lord,

Grace that exceeds our sin and our guilt!

Yonder on Calvary's mount out-poured–

There where the blood of the Lamb was spilt.

Chorus:

II.

Sin and despair, like the sea-waves cold,

Threaten the soul with infinite loss;
Grace that is greater– yes, grace untold–
Points to the Refuge, the mighty Cross.

III.

Marvelous, infinite, matchless grace,

Freely bestowed on all who believe!
All who are longing to see His face,
Will you this moment His grace receive?
GLORIOUS CALVARY

I.

Once by the sins of the world I was bound but Jesus rescued me

Lifted me up put my feet on the ground of glorious calvary

Chorus:

Glorious Calvary Glorious Calvary

My debt there was paid and my soul was set free

Glorious Calvary

II.

Now I am free from the power of sin since Jesus set me free
Joy bells are ringing there's gladness within Glorious Calvary

III.

Come then to Calvary all sin burdened souls let Jesus set you free
You too will join with the ransomed made whole at glorious Calvary
JOY IN SERVING JESUS
I.
There is joy in serving Jesus,

As I journey on my way,

Joy that fills the heart with praises,

Ev'ry hour and ev'ry day.

Chorus:

There is joy, joy, Joy in serving Jesus,

Joy that throbs within my heart; Ev'ry moment, ev'ry hour,

As I draw upon His power, There is joy, joy,

Joy that never shall depart.

II.
There is joy in serving Jesus,
Joy that triumphs over pain,
Fills my soul with heaven's music,
Till I join the glad refrain.

III.
There is joy in serving Jesus,
As I walk alone with God.
'Tis the joy of Christ, my Savior,
Who the path of suffering trod.

IV.
There is joy in serving Jesus,
Joy amid the darkest night,
For I've learned the wondrous secret,
And I'm walking in the light.
WHEN I GET TO THE END OF THE WAY
I.

The sands have been washed in the footprints

Of the stranger on Galilee’s shore,

And the voice that subdued the rough billows,

Will be heard in Judea no more.

But the path of that lone Galilean,

With joy I will follow today;

And the toils of the road will seem nothing,

When I get to the end of the way.

II.
There are so many hills to climb upward,
I often am longing for rest,
But He who appoints me my pathway
Knows just what is needful and best.
I know in His word He hath promised
That my strength, “it shall be as my day”;
And the toils of the road will seem nothing,
When I get to the end of the way.

III.
He loves me too well to forsake me,
Or give me a trial too much;
All His people have been dearly purchased,
And Satan can never claim such.
By and by I shall see Him and praise Him,
In the city of unending day;
And the toils of the road will seem nothing,
When I get to the end of the way.
SOME GOLDEN DAYBREAK

I.

Some glorious morning sorrow will cease

Some glorious morning all will be peace

Heartaches all ended, school days all done

Heaven will open–Jesus will come

Chorus:

Some golden daybreak Jesus will come

Some golden daybreak, battles all won

He’ll shout the victory, break through the blue

Some golden daybreak, for me, for you.

II.

Sad hearts will gladden, all shall be bright

Goodbye forever to earth’s dark night
Changed in a moment, like Him to be
Oh, glorious daybreak, Jesus I’ll see

III.

Oh, what a meeting, there in the skies

No tears nor crying shall dim our eyes
Loved ones united eternally
Oh, what a daybreak that morning will be
HE LIFTED ME
I.

In loving kindness Jesus came

My soul in mercy to reclaim,

And from the depths of sin and shame

Through grace He lifted me.

Chorus:

From sinking sand He lifted me,

With tender hand He lifted me,

From shades of night to plains of light,

O praise His name, He lifted me!

II.
He called me long before I heard,
Before my sinful heart was stirred,
But when I took Him at His word,
Forgiven He lifted me.

III.
His brow was pierced with many a thorn,
His hands by cruel nails were torn,
When from my guilt and grief, forlorn,
In love He lifted me.

IV.
Now on a higher plane I dwell,
And with my soul I know ’tis well;
Yet how or why, I cannot tell,
He should have lifted me.
JUST WHEN I NEED HIM MOST
I.

Just when I need Him, Jesus is near,

Just when I falter, just when I fear;

Ready to help me, ready to cheer,

Just when I need Him most.

Chorus:

Just when I need Him most,

Just when I need Him most,

Jesus is near to comfort and cheer,

Just when I need Him most.

II.
Just when I need Him, Jesus is true,
Never forsaking, all the way through;
Giving for burdens pleasures anew,
Just when I need Him most.

III.
Just when I need Him, Jesus is strong,
Bearing my burdens all the day long;
For all my sorrow giving a song,
Just when I need Him most.

IV.
Just when I need Him, He is my all,
Answering when upon Him I call;
Tenderly watching lest I should fall,
Just when I need Him most.
WILL JESUS FIND US WATCHING?
I.

When Jesus comes to reward His servants,

Whether it be noon or night,

Faithful to Him will He find us watching,

With our lamps all trimmed and bright?

Chorus:

O can we say we are ready, brother?

Ready for the soul’s bright home?

Say, will He find you and me still watching,

Waiting, watching when the Lord shall come?

II.
If, at the dawn of the early morning,
He shall call us one by one,
When to the Lord we restore our talents,
Will He answer you, "Well done?"

III.
Have we been true to the trust He left us?
Do we seek to do our best?
If in our hearts there is naught condemns us,
We shall have a glorious rest.

IV.
Blessed are those whom the Lord finds watching,
In His glory they shall share;
If He shall come at the dawn or midnight,
Will He find us watching there?
WHY SHOULD HE LOVE ME SO?

I.

Love sent my Savior to die in my stead;

Why should He love me so?

Meekly to Calvary's cross He was led;

Why should He love me so?

Chorus:

Why should He love me so?

Why should He love me so?

Why should my Savior to Calvary go?

Why should He love me so?

II.

Nails pierced His hands and His feet for my sin;

Why should He love me so?
He suffered sore my salvation to win:
Why should He love me so?

III.

O how He agonized there in my place;

Why should He love me so?
Nothing withholding my sin to efface;
Why should He love me so?
WHO IS ON THE LORD SIDE?
I.

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—Savior, we are Thine!

II.
Not for weight of glory, nor 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 saveth marches on His side.
By Thy love constraining, by Thy grace divine,
We are on the Lord’s side—Savior, we are Thine!

III.
Jesus, Thou hast bought us, not with gold or gem,
But with Thine own lifeblood, for Thy diadem;
With Thy blessing filling each who comes to Thee,
Thou hast made us willing, Thou hast made us free.
By Thy grand redemption, by Thy grace divine,
We are on the Lord’s side—Savior, we are Thine!

IV.
Fierce may be the conflict, strong may be the foe,
But the King’s own army none can overthrow;
’Round His standard ranging, vict’ry is secure,
For His truth unchanging makes the triumph sure.
Joyfully enlisting, by Thy grace divine,
We are on the Lord’s side—Savior, we are Thine!
TELL ME THE STORY OF JESUS
I.

Tell me the story of Jesus, write on my heart every word;

tell me the story most precious, sweetest that ever was heard.

Tell how the angels, in chorus, sang as they welcomed His birth,

"Glory to God in the highest! Peace and good tidings to earth."

Chorus:

Tell me the story of Jesus, write on my heart every word;

tell me the story most precious, sweetest that ever was heard.

II.

Fasting alone in the desert, tell of the days that are past;
how for our sins He was tempted, yet was triumphant at last.
Tell of the years of His labor, tell of the sorrow He bore;
He was despised and afflicted, homeless, rejected, and poor.

III.

Tell of the cross where they nailed Him, writhing in anguish and pain;
tell of the grave where they laid Him, tell how He liveth again.
Love in that story so tender, clearer than ever I see:
stay, let me weep while you whisper, love paid the ransom for me.
