I Love to Tell the Story.

1 I love to tell the story

Of unseen things above,
Of Jesus and his glory,

Of Jesus and his love.
I love to tell the story,
Because I know 'tis true;
It satisfies my longings,
As nothing else can do.
CHORUS:

I love to tell the story,
'Twill be my theme in glory
To tell the old, old story
Of Jesus and his love.

2 I love to tell the story:

More wonderful it seems
Than all the golden fancies
Of all our golden dreams.
I love to tell the story,

It did so much for me,
And th it is just the reason
I tell it now to thee -Cho.

3 I love to tell the story;

For those who know it best Seem hungering and thirsting To hear it like the rest. And when, in scenes of glory, I sing the NEW. NEW SONG, "Twill be the OLD, O D STORY

That I have loved so .ong.--Cho.

Keep on Praying.

1 Long my spirit pined in sorrow, Watching, waiting all in vain; Waiting for the golden morrow,

Free from worldly care and pain. When I heard a sweet voice saying, In the accents of a friend. Cheer up, brother; Keep on praying," Keep on praying to the end.

2 Ye who sigh for holy pleasures,
Ye who moun your load of sin,
"Keep o praying;" hav'nly treasures
In the end you're sure to win.
Wrestle with the Lord of glory,
Lay your treasures at his feet;
Plead with faith in Calvary's story,
Till your joys are all complete.

I What a friend we have in Jesus,
All our sins and griefs to bear;
What a privilege to carry

Every thing to God in prayer.
Oh, what peace we often forfeit!
Oh, what needless pain we tear!
All because we do not carry

Every thing to God in prayer.

2 Have we trials and temptations?
Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged;
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
Can we find a Friend so faithful,

Who will all our sorrows share!
Jesus knows our every weakness;
Take it to the Lord' in prayer.

3 Are we weak and heavy laden,
Cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Savior, still our refuge,
Take it to the Lord in p ayer.
Do thy friends despise, forsake thee?
Take it to the Lord in prayer;
In his arms he'll take and shield thee;
Thou wilt find a solace there.

99 Jesus Loves Even Me.

1 Jesus loves me, and I know I love him,

It was love brought him my soul to redeem;

Yes it was love made him die on the

tree,

Oh, I am certain that Jesus loves me.
CHORUS:

I am so glad that Jesus loves me,
Jesus loves even me

2 In this assurance I find sweetest rest; Satan dismayed, from my soul now Trusting in Jesus I know I am blest;

doth flee,

When I just tell him that Jesus loves

This shall my song in eternity be.
Oh, what a wonder that Jesus loves me.

On whom in affliction I call,

My comfort by day and my song in the night,

My hope, my salvation, my all! 2 Where dost thou, dear Shepherd, resort with thy sheep,

To feed them in pastures of love? Say why in the valley of death should I weep,

Or alone in the wilderness rove? 30 why should I wander an alien from thee,

Or cry in the desert for bread? Thy foes will rejoice when my sorrows they see,

And smile at the tears I have shed.

103 I need Thee Now.

1 I need thy presence, Lord,
In every hour,

To be my constant shield
From Satan's power.
CHO.-I need thee, dearest Savior,
Even now I need thee;
O ever grant this favor,
"Abide with me."

2 I need thy guidance, Lord,
Through every day,
To guide my feet along
Life's devious way.

3 I need thy spirit, Lord,
Yes, all the time,

To show in word and deed
That I am thine.

4 I need thy pardon, Lord;
Bestow it now,

While at the mercy seat
I humbly bow.

And in thee I'll ever rejoice. 104 Only In the Cross.

1 On the cross the Savior's blood
Flowed for our salvation,
Streaming forth, a healing tide,
Unto every nation.

CHO.-" God forbid! God forbid
I should ever glory

Saving in the cross of Christ,"-
Cross of sacred story.

2 On the cross the Savior paid
All that I was owing,
Thanks for such a priceless gift
In my heart are glowing.

3 On the cross the Savior spoke
Many sins forgiven,

Then the pardoned sinner bore
With him into heaven.

4 Precious Savior, blessed cross!
Always keep before me;
All along the path of life,
Throw thy shadow o'er me.

The Home of the Soul.

The far away home of the soul, Where no storms ever beat on the glittering strand,

While the years of eternity roli.

Its bright jasper walls I can see,
Till I fancy but thinly the veil inter-

Between the fair city and me.

and for me,

Where Jesus of Nazareth stands; The King of all kingdoms forever is he, And he holdeth our crowns in his

hands.

4 O how sweet it will be in that beautiful land,

So free from all sorrow and pain! With songs on our lips, and with harps in our hands,

To meet one another again.
