English Hymn O-R


1.Precious love, the love of mother,
Broad and deep beyond all praise!
Precious love, it stirs my spirit
Gives me gladness all my days.
Mother pray’d when I was weeping,
Made my sorrows all her own;
And when I was glad and smiling
Sang her praises at the Throne.


2. Precious Book, my mother’s Bible,
Which she read me morn and night.
Still I see her read, and, pausing,
Call some treasure to my sight;
“Who-so-ev-er but believeth
Shall receive eternal life.”
Precious words of her reciting,
Still my strength in mortal strife!


3.When I lie alone and troubled,
Restless with ex-hausting fears,
Mother’s voice, in hymns she sang me,
Echoes living in my ears:
“From the rock flow springs of water
In the desert flowers grow.”
“Those who walk the way with Jesus
Need fear nothing here below.”


4.Mother’s life was sweet and humble,
Strong and firm in doing right,
I can make my life worth living
With her ever in my sight.
Mother, in a world of tempests,
Fought the good fight all her days;
Soon, by streams of living water,
I shall live with her always.

 


Redeemed, How I Love to Proclaim It


Redeemed, how I love to proclaim it!
Redeemed by the blood of the Lamb;
Redeemed through His infinite mercy,
His child and forever I am.


Refrain:
Redeemed, redeemed,
Redeemed by the blood of the Lamb;
Redeemed, redeemed,
His child and forever I am.


Redeemed, and so happy in Jesus,
No language my rapture can tell;
I know that the light of His presence
With me doth continually dwell.


I think of my blessed Redeemer,
I think of Him all the day long:
I sing, for I cannot be silent;
His love is the theme of my song.


I know I shall see in His beauty
The King in whose law I delight;
Who lovingly guardeth my footsteps,
And giveth me songs in the night.


I know there’s a crown that is waiting
In yonder bright mansion for me,
And soon, with the spirits made perfect,
At home with the Lord I shall be.

 



1.Rejoice, the Lord is King! Your Lord and King adore;
Rejoice, give thanks and sing, and triumph evermore.


Refrain
Lift up your heart, lift up your voice; rejoice, again I say, rejoice.


2.Jesus the Savior reigns, the God of truth and love;
when he had purged our stains, he took his seat above.


3.His kingdom cannot fail; he rules o’er earth and heaven;
the keys of earth and hell are to our Jesus given.


4.He sits at God’s right hand  Till all His foes submit,
And bow to His command,  And fall beneath His feet:


5.Rejoice in glorious hope!The Lord and the Judge shall come,
And take His servants up To their eternal home;

 



Rejoice, all ye believers,
And let your lights appear;
The evening is advancing,
And darker night is near:
The Bridegroom is arising,
And soon he draweth nigh;
Up, pray, and watch, and wrestle:
At midnight comes the cry.


See that your lamps are burning;
Replenish them with oil;
And wait for your salvation,
The end of earthly toil.
The watchers on the mountain
Proclaim the Bridegroom near,
Go meet him as he cometh,
With Alleluias clear.


Ye saints, who here in patience
Your cross and suff’rings bore,
Shall live and reign for ever,
When sorrow is no more:
Around the throne of glory
The Lamb ye shall behold,
In triumph cast before him
Your diadems of gold.


Our Hope and Expectation,
O Jesus, now appear;
Arise, thou Sun so longed for,
O’er this benighted sphere.
With hearts and hands uplifted,
We plead, O Lord to see
The day of earth’s redemption
That brings us unto thee.
