9. Hymn: Nearer, Still Nearer

Hymn: Nearer, Still Nearer
Author: Lelia Naylor Morris (1862-1929)

1. Nearer, still nearer, close to Thy heart,
    Draw me, my Saviour, so precious Thou art;
    Fold me, O fold me close to Thy breast,
    Shelter me safe in that "Haven of Rest,"
    Shelter me safe in that "Haven of Rest."

2. Nearer, still nearer, nothing I bring,
    Naught as an off‵ring to Jesus my King;
    Only my sinful, now contrite heart,
    Grant me the cleansing Thy blood doth impart,
    Grant me the cleansing Thy blood doth impart.

3. Nearer, still nearer, Lord, to be Thine,
    Sin, with its follies, I gladly resign,
    All of its pleasures, pomp and its pride;
    Give me but Jesus, my Lord crucified,
    Give me but Jesus, my Lord crucified.

4. Nearer, still nearer, while life shall last;
    Till safe in glory my anchor is cast;
    Thro‵ endless ages, ever to be,
    Nearer, my Saviour, still nearer to Thee,
    Nearer, my Saviour, still nearer to Thee.

Author: Thoro Harris (1874-1955)

1. Who can cheer the heart like Jesus,
    By His presence all divine?
    True and tender, pure and precious,
    Oh, how blest to call Him mine!

Refrain:
All that thrills my soul is Jesus;
He is more than life to me;
And the fairest of ten thousand
In my blessed Lord I see.

2. Ev‵ry need His hand supplying,
    Ev‵ry good in Him I see;
    On His strength divine relying,
    He is all in all to me.

3. By the crystal, flowing river
    With the ransomed I will sing,
    And forever and forever
    Praise and glorify the King.

Hymn: Now I Belong to Jesus
Author: Norman J. Clayton (1903-1992)

1. Jesus my Lord will love me forever,
    From Him no power of evil can sever,
    He gave His life to ransom my soul,
    Now I belong to Him.

Refrain:
Now I belong to Jesus,
Jesus belongs to me,
Not for the years of time alone,
But for eternity.

2. Once I was lost in sin’s degradation,
    Jesus came down to bring me salvation,
    Lifted me up from sorrow and shame,
    Now I belong to Him.

3. Joy floods my soul for Jesus has saved me,
    Freed me from sin that long had enslaved me,
    His precious blood He gave to redeem,
    Now I belong to Him.

3. Hymn: Ivory Palaces

Hymn: Ivory Palaces
Author: Henry Barraclough (1891-1983)

1. My Lord has garments so wondrous fine,
    And myrrh their texture fills;
    Its fragrance reached to this heart of mine,
    With joy my being thrills.

Refrain:
Out of the ivory palaces,
Into a world of woe,
Only his great, eternal love
Made my Savior go.

2. His life had also its sorrows sore,
    For aloes had a part;
    And when I think of the cross he bore,
    My eyes with teardrops start.

3. In garments glorious He will come,
    To open wide the door;
    And I shall enter my heav‵nly home,
    To dwell forevermore.

1. Hymn: Count Your Blessings

Hymn: Count Your Blessings
Author: Johnson Oatman, Jr. (1856-1922)

1. When upon life’s billows you are tempest-tossed,
    When you are discouraged, thinking all is lost,
    Count your many blessings, name them one by one,
    And it will surprise you what the Lord hath done.

Refrain:
Count your blessings, name them one by one,
Count your blessings, see what God hath done!
Count your blessings, name them one by one,
Count your many blessings, see what God hath done.

2. Are you ever burdened with a load of care?
    Does the cross seem heavy you are called to bear?
    Count your many blessings, every doubt will fly,
    And you will keep singing as the days go by.

3. So, amid the conflict whether great or small,
    Do not be disheartened, God is over all;
    Count your many blessings, angels will attend,
    Help and comfort give you to your journey’s end.
