Come on, my partners in distress
My comrades through the wilderness
A while forget your griefs and fears
And look beyond this vale of tears
Beyond the bounds of time and space
Look forward to that heav'nly place
On faith's strong eagle pinions rise
And force your passage to the skies
Thrice blessed bliss-inspiring hope
It lifts the fainting spirits up;
Our conflicts here shall soon be past
And you and I ascend at last

Precious mem'ries, unseen angels
Sent from somewhere to my soul;
How they linger ever near me
And the sacred past unfold
Precious mem'ries, how they linger
How they ever flood my soul;
In the stillness of the midnight
Precious sacred scenes unfold
Precious father, loving mother
Fly across the lonely years;
And old home scenes of my childhood
In fond memory appear
As I travel on life's pathway
Know not what the years may hold;
As I ponder, hope grows fonder
Precious mem'ries flood my soul

Awake, Awake
04:25
|

|
Awake, awake, you drowsy sleeper
Awake, awake, it's almost day
How can you sleep? You cruel creature
Since you have stolen my heart away
Oh hush, oh hush, don't wake my mother
No songs of love will she let me hear
If you sing songs, go court another
Or whisper lowly in my ear
Oh, go love, go and ask your mother
If you my bride, my bride shall be
If she says no, come back and tell me
It'll be the last I'll bother thee
Come Polly Bawn, come stop my pining
Sit you down by the side of me
And put your loving arms around me
And say you'll love no one but me
I'll go with you in some lone valley
There I will spend my days with you
My meals will be of the freshest berries
And the water I drink of the morning dew
My father lies in the next room simple
Taking of his natural rest
And in his right hand he holds a weapon
He says he'll kill the one I love best
My daddy is a handsome devil
He's got a chain five miles long
And on every link a heart does dangle
Of another maid he's loved and wronged
Oh I'll go down in some lone valley
I'll spend my weeks, my months, my years
And I'll eat nothing but green willows
And I'll drink nothing but my tears

Gilgal

|
And am I only born to die?
And must I suddenly comply
With nature's stern decree?
What after death for me remains:
Celestial joys, or hellish pains
To all eternity?
How then ought I on earth to live
While God prolongs the kind reprieve
And props the house of clay?
My sole concern, my single care:
To watch, and tremble, and prepare
Against the fatal day
No room for mirth or trifling here
For worldly hope, or worldly fear
If life so soon is gone;
If now the judge is at the door
And all mankind must stand before
The inexorable throne!
Jesus, vouchsafe a pitying ray
Be Thou my guide, be Thou my way
To glorious happiness.
Ah! write the pardon on my heart
And whensoe'er I hence depart
Let me depart in peace

Weeping Mary

Are there anybody here like Mary a-weeping?
Call to my Jesus and he'll draw nigh!
Are there anybody here like Peter a-sinking?
Call to my Jesus and he'll draw nigh!
Are there anybody here like Thomas a-doubting?
Call to my Jesus and he'll draw nigh!
Are there anybody here like Saul of Tarsus?
Call to my Jesus and he'll draw nigh!
Glory, glory! Glory, glory!
Glory be to my God on high!

Beneath the cloud-topp'd mountain
Shout and praise the Lord!
Beside the craggy bluff
O shout and praise the Lord!
O shout Hallelujah!
Upon the sunburnt plain
We awaken music's strain
Beneath the humble cedar
Shout and praise the Lord!
Beside the broad, smooth river
Shout and praise the Lord!
O shout Hallelujah!
Beside the flowing spring
We would often sit and sing
Beneath the lovely moonlight
Shout and praise the Lord!
To cheer the pilgrim strangers
Shout and praise the Lord!
O shout Hallelujah!
When Cynthia spreads her rays;
We will join in songs of praise
And when the darkness gathers
Shout and praise the Lord!
With all the warm emotion
Shout and praise the Lord!
O shout Hallelujah!
To saintly bosoms giv'n
We will praise the God of heav'n

Earth with her ten thousand flow'rs
Air, with all its beams and show'rs
Heaven's infinite expanse;
Sea's resplendent countenance:
All around, and all above
Hath this record: God is love
Sounds among the vales and hills
In the woods and by the rills
Of the breeze and of the bird
By the gentle murmur stir'd:
Sacred songs, beneath, above
Have one chorus: God is love
All the hopes that sweetly start
From the fountain of the heart;
All the bliss that ever comes
To our earthly human homes;
All the voices from above
Sweetly whisper: God is love

Nahom (third)
02:32
|
|||
|
I find myself out of the way
My thoughts are often gone astray
Like one alone I seem to be
O is there anyone like me?
I seldom find a heart to pray
So many things come in my way
Thus filled with doubts I ask to know
Come, tell me, is it thus with you?
So by experience do I know
There's nothing good that I can do
I cannot satisfy the law
Nor hope nor comfort from it draw

Canaan's Land
02:30
|
|||
|
O for a breeze of heav'nly love
To waft my soul away
To that celestial world above
Where pleasures ne'er decay!
Eternal Spirit, deign to be
My pilot here below
To steer through life's tempestuous sea
Where stormy winds do blow
From rocks of pride on either hand
From quicksands of despair
O guide me safe to Canaan's land
Thru ev'ry latent snare.
Anchor me in that port above
On that celestial shore
Where dashing billows never move
Where tempests never roar

Antionum

|
When Israel was in Egypt's land
Oppressed so hard they could not stand
The Lord told Moses what to do
To lead the Hebrew children through
O 'twas a dark and dismal night
When Moses led the Israelites;
As they stood by the waterside
At God's command it did divide
When they had reached the other shore
They sang a song of triumph o'er:
O let us all from bondage flee
And let us all in God be free
Your foes shall not before you stand
And you'll possess fair Canaan's land;
O take your shoes from off your feet
And walk into the golden street

Lord dismiss us with Thy blessing;
Fill our hearts with joy and peace;
Let us each, Thy love possessing
Triumph in redeeming grace.
O refresh us, O refresh us
Trav'ling through this wilderness
Thanks we give and adoration
For the gospel's joyful sound:
May the fruits of Thy salvation
In our hearts and lives abound:
Ever faithful, ever faithful
To the truth may we be found
Of Thy love some gracious token
Grant us, Lord, before we go;
Bless Thy word which has been spoken
Life and peace on all bestow.
O direct us and protect us
In the paths we do not know

Till a blessing Thou bestow:
Do not turn away thy face
Mine's an urgent, pressing case

Nahom
02:53
|
|||
|
I'm glad that I am born to die
From grief and woe my soul shall fly
Bright angels shall convey me home
Away to New Jerusalem
Farewell, vain world, I'm going home
My Savior smiles, and bids me come;
Sweet angels beckon me away
To sing God's praise in endless day
I soon shall hear the awful sound
Awake, ye nations underground;
Arise, and drop your dying shrouds
And meet your Savior in the clouds
When to the blessed world I rise
And join the anthems in the skies
This note above the rest shall swell:
My Jesus has done all things well

O the Cuckoo
06:44
|
|||
|
O the cuckoo, she's a pretty bird
And she warbles as she flies
She'll make you no trouble
For she'll tell you no lies
She sucks all pretty flowers
To make her voice clear
And she never sings cuckoo
'Til the spring of the year
Come all you young maidens
Take a warning by me
Ne'er place your affections
On the love of a man
His roots, they will wither
The branches will die
He'll turn his back on you
And walk square away
A meeting is a pleasure
A parting is grief
But an inconstant lover
Is worse than a thief
A thief, he will rob you
Of all that you have
But an inconstant lover
Will send you to the grave
Go build me a cabin
On a mountain so high
So I can watch my true love
As she passes me by
Dig my grave on a hillside
Near the home of the dove
So that she can mourn me
Like I mourn for my love
|

Pisgah!
01:51

Jesus, Thou art the sinner's friend
As such I look to Thee
Now in the bowels of Thy love
O Lord, remember me
Remember the pure word of grace
Remember Calvary
Remember all Thy dying groans
And then remember me
