Christ in Song

  1. 1Lead Them to TheeLead them to God, O thee, Lead them to thee; These children dear of thine, Thou gav-est me: For thee they trust and cry, For thee they live and die, That thou this precious gift Wilt not re-ceive.
  2. 6Make Room for JesusHave you a - ny room for Je - sus, He who bore your load of sin? Has he found when bless there was no room to come in? And did thou a try room-for Je - sus? Not one room in all the inn; Have you a - ny room for Je - sus? Not one room in all the inn.
  3. 10Only One StepOnly one step to Jesus from the dark-ness in-to light; Only one step to Jesus from the wrong un-to the right; Only one step to Jesus, from death in-to life; Only one step to Jesus from the storm un-to the light.
  4. 12Come Unto MeO ye heart bowed down with sorrow, O you weary, and oppressed for sight! There's gladness in To-morrow, In your darkness there is light; In your Gethsemane of anguish, Gold Christ the Healer goes: all them in Co-dem-na-tion? Re- he hears are sore vex-er, in peace is love of rest; In peace there is love and light.
  5. 14Life in a LookThere's life in a look at the Crucified One, There's life at this moment for thee; Then look, sinner, look unto him and be saved, Un-to him who was nailed to the tree. Faith cometh by hearing and looking to the cross Life's eternal gift; Yes, look, it is more than our sight, there's life for thee, There's life in a look at the cross of Christ.
  6. 24Build on the Rock"Whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock."—Matt. 7: 24. My soul build on the Rock, the liv - ing Rock, On Je - sus, the Rock of A - ges; So when we a - bide The storms of doubt and tri - al can not move; The firm and the true foun-da - tion, It's hope is the hop which.
  7. 25Blessed Are They That Do"For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified."—Rom. 2: 13. Not for the hear - ers who may hear his voice But for the do - ers of the word; Hearing them, praising them; But in vain we hear his com-mand-ments all in vain his prom-is - es, too; Hear-ing them, praising them; They who joy may ov - er it No; I say from his own established, So still them, from the pit.
  8. 26Cover with His Life"Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered."—Ps. 32: 1. Look up - on of - tis - sus tied as to his tree; Ex - tend my pride un - to the tri - umphs free; Look-ing His life I want to run to know, Je - sus that holds out - y robes while in snow; Look up - on to search me up they in such rose, Cov - er with his life, sor - row than I know.
  9. 28Christ Receiveth Sinful Men"The Pharisees and scribes murmured, saying, this man receiveth sinners."—Luke 15: 2. Sing it o'er and o'er a - gain; Christ re - ceiv - eth sin - ful men; 'T is to - day the same as then, Christ re - ceiv - eth sin - ful men; Years of sin, condemn as not, Pure be - fore thy shy we stand; Je - sus' blood can cleanse each spot, Shall we not his love com - mand?
  10. 31Knocking, KnockingKnocking, knocking, who is there? Wait - ing, wait - ing, O how fair! 'T is a Pil - grim, strange and king - ly, Nev - er such was seen be - fore; Ah, sweet soul, now I en - treat thee, Knocking, knocking, who will hear? Wait - ing, wait - ing, oh so long! For thy wood-ed land and hill con-nect thy.
  11. 32Who Is on the Lord's Side?"Turn Moses stood in the gate of the camp, and said, Who is on the Lord's side?"—Ex. 32: 26. Who is on the Lord's side? There is right and wrong up - on! Where shalt thou way? Thou-sands on the wrong side Chose to stand; Still 'tis not the strong side, True and stand; Come and join the Lord's side, 'T is the on - ly safe side; By and by.
  12. 35Bravely Say No!"And Jesus answered and said unto him, 'Get thee behind me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.'"—Luke 4: 8. Brave - ly say No! firm-ly say No! Lot - to the temp - tation ye - si stare-ly; brave, Stand like a rock a - gainst the foe, But if the temp - ter comes with a song, Strew-ing with flow'rs the path-way of wrong; Stare - more or - a - mid it all and re - ply, Brave - ly say no!

  16. 48Jesus of Nazareth Passeth ByWhat means this eager, anxious throng, Which moves with busy haste along,— These wondrous gatherings day by day? What means this strange commotion, pray? In accents hushed the throng reply: "Jesus of Nazareth passeth by."
  17. 49Take Me As I AmHe took my Lord, to thee I cry,— In darkness, help me, I must die; O blessed One who for the lost and found me, Saviour, at thy feet. Thy grace my soul, my heart has bound; Thy work be-gun, thy Thou canst reach with all that will make me clean.
