English Hymn O-R


Only a step to Jesus!
Then why not take it now?
Come, and thy sin confessing,
To Him, thy Savior, bow.


Refrain
Only a step, only a step,
Come, He waits for thee;
Come, and thy sin confessing,
Thou shalt receive a blessing;
Do not reject the mercy
He freely offers thee.


Only a step to Jesus!
Believe, and thou shalt live;
Lovingly now He’s waiting,
And ready to forgive.


Only a step to Jesus!
A step from sin to grace;
What has thy heart decided?
The moments fly apace.


Only a step to Jesus!
Oh, why not come and say,
“Gladly to Thee, my Savior,
I give myself away.”

 



Onward, Christian solders, marching as to war,
With the cross of Jesus going on before!
Christ, the royal Master, leads again the foe;
Forward into battle, see his banner go!


Refrain
Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war,
With the cross of Jesus going on before!


Like a mighty army moves the church of God;
Brothers, we are treading where he saints have trod;
We are not divided; all one body we,
One in hope and doctrine, one in charity.


Onward, then, ye people, join our happy throng,
Blend with ours your voices in the triumph song;
Glory, laud, and honor, unto Christ the King;
This thro’ countless ages men and angels sing

 



1. Open my eyes that I may see
glimpses of truth thou hast for me.
Place in my hands the wonderful key
that shall unclasp and set me free.


Refrain
Silently now I wait for thee,
ready, my God, thy will to see.
Open my eyes, illumine me,
Spirit divine!


2. Open my ears that I may hear
voices of truth thou sendest clear,
and while the wave notes fall on my ear,
ev’rything false will disappear.


3. Open my mouth and let me bear
gladly the warm truth ev’rywhere.
Open my heart and let me prepare
love with thy children thus to share.
