The Incarnation

The Incarnation The shepherds wondered at the sight Of angels singing in the night, But angels wondered at the thought That God had incarnation wrought! How awed the angels must have been To see their God as He was then! Their source of worship night and day Was lying on a bed of hay! What […]

O How It Breaks My Heart

O How It Breaks My Heart I prayed to see this world Through Jesus eyes and heart, But oh I didn’t know Just what that would impart. O how it breaks my heart, To see the souls around me, And to know, Where they go. O how it breaks my heart; To see the drunk man […]

Though Jesus Was Rich

Though Jesus Was Rich Though Jesus was rich, yet He became poor, That I by His want might gain. He promised a home, where riches endure, And where there is never pain. Though Jesus was God, yet He became Man, That He may His life lay down And all of his pain, was part of […]

This Modern Gospel

This Modern Gospel This modern gospel that I hear Has taken out the bitter cup And then this cry upon my ear, “We want our spirits lifted up!” But I refuse to hear that call; My ear is deaf; my mind is fixed. I will not change a word at all. I’ll preach the gospel […]

The Only Respectable Hope

The Only Respectable Hope If you can believe there is goodness in you, Then any of many religions will do. In every religion that man ever made, It’s all about getting a high enough grade. But Jesus has showed us a narrower path, Where He is the only remover of wrath, For only the merit […]

O Lord, How Long?

O Lord, How Long? O Lord, how long will this vile world Reject your endless grace? How long will they reject the light While darkness they embrace? O Lord, how long will Satan rule And keep his prisons fast? How long till in his prison cell The devil will be cast? O Lord, how long […]

My Desire

My Desire I’ve tasted of my Saviour’s grace; I’ve felt His love to Adam’s race. And now I covet, To have more of it. Lift up Thy shining face. He died to bring me to the fold, And what I owe can not be told. I’m therefore pining, For His refining; Where I’ll come forth […]

Jesus Is God

Jesus Is God The God who has made both heaven and earth Has come as a man of lowliest birth. Our sins He forgives; our wounds He will heal, For Jesus is God, and Jesus is real! I know of a place without any night; (No need of the sun; the Lamb is the light;) […]

In Christ

In Christ I deserve to feel God’s wrath; To have it poured on me like wine. Death and Hell are in my path; The curse of sin is justly mine. But in Christ it isn’t so; I am forgiven, blessed, and free. God no longer is my foe; For Christ has paid the price for […]

I Saw the Light

I Saw the Light I thought I was okay. I thought my sins were small. I thought that I was good; That I was strong and tall. Until I saw the Light! And then I saw my sin, And saw that hell was just For all the things I’d done, So go to hell I […]

I Once… But Now

I Once… But Now I once was called a real believer, But now I am believing. I once had known about the asking, But now about receiving. I once had known about my Jesus, But now He knows my name. I once had heard about the fire, But now I feel the flame. I once […]

A Fool for Christ

A Fool for Christ I could pursue acceptance from all menAnd fear the grave, the stake, the lion’s den.I could pursue a well-known, honored nameAnd seek approval, praise, and earthly fame. I choose instead affliction with my Lord,Esteeming His reproach as my reward.I glory in my weakness and my painFor earthly loss will bring eternal […]
