23. Hymn: How Can I Keep From Singing
Hymn: How Can I Keep From Singing
Author: Robert Lowry (1826-1899)
1. My life flows on in endless song
Above earth’s lamentation.
I hear the real though far-off hymn
That hails a new creation.
Above earth’s lamentation.
I hear the real though far-off hymn
That hails a new creation.
Refrain:
No storm can shake my inmost calm,
While to that rock I’m clinging.
Since Christ is Lord of heaven and earth,
How can I keep from singing?
2. Through all the tumult and the strife,
I hear that music ringing;
It sounds and echoes in my soul;
How can I keep from singing?
I hear that music ringing;
It sounds and echoes in my soul;
How can I keep from singing?
3. What, though my joys and comfort die,
The Lord, my savior liveth.
What though the darkness gather ‵round?
Songs in the night it giveth.
The Lord, my savior liveth.
What though the darkness gather ‵round?
Songs in the night it giveth.
4. I lift my eyes; the cloud grows thin;
I see the blue above it;
And day by day this pathway smooths,
Since first I learned to love it.
I see the blue above it;
And day by day this pathway smooths,
Since first I learned to love it.
5. The peace of Christ makes fresh my heart,
A fountain ever springing.
All things are mine since I am his;
How can I keep from singing?
A fountain ever springing.
All things are mine since I am his;
How can I keep from singing?

18. Hymn: All For Jesus
Hymn: All For Jesus
Author: Mary D. James (1810-1883)
1. All for Jesus! All for Jesus!
All my being’s ransomed powers:
All my thoughts, and words, and doings,
All my days, and all my hours.
All for Jesus! all for Jesus!
All my days, and all my hours;
All for Jesus! all for Jesus!
All my days, and all my hours.
All my being’s ransomed powers:
All my thoughts, and words, and doings,
All my days, and all my hours.
All for Jesus! all for Jesus!
All my days, and all my hours;
All for Jesus! all for Jesus!
All my days, and all my hours.
2. Let my hands perform his bidding,
Let my feet run in his ways-
Let my eyes see Jesus only,
Let my lips speak forth his praise,
All for Jesus! all for Jesus!
Let my lips speak forth his praise;
All for Jesus! all for Jesus!
Let my lips speak forth his praise.
Let my feet run in his ways-
Let my eyes see Jesus only,
Let my lips speak forth his praise,
All for Jesus! all for Jesus!
Let my lips speak forth his praise;
All for Jesus! all for Jesus!
Let my lips speak forth his praise.
3. Worldlings prize their gems of beauty,
Cling to gilded toys of dust,
Boast of wealth and fame and pleasure;
Only Jesus will I trust.
All for Jesus! all for Jesus!
Only Jesus will I trust.
All for Jesus! all for Jesus!
Only Jesus will I trust.
Cling to gilded toys of dust,
Boast of wealth and fame and pleasure;
Only Jesus will I trust.
All for Jesus! all for Jesus!
Only Jesus will I trust.
All for Jesus! all for Jesus!
Only Jesus will I trust.
4. Since my eyes were fixed on Jesus,
I’ve lost sight of all beside;
So enchained my spirit’s vision,
Looking at the Crucified.
All for Jesus! all for Jesus!
Looking at the Crucified.
All for Jesus! all for Jesus!
Looking at the Crucified.
I’ve lost sight of all beside;
So enchained my spirit’s vision,
Looking at the Crucified.
All for Jesus! all for Jesus!
Looking at the Crucified.
All for Jesus! all for Jesus!
Looking at the Crucified.
5. Oh, what wonder! How amazing!
Jesus, glorious King of kings,
Deigns to call me his beloved,
Lets me rest beneath his wings.
All for Jesus! all for Jesus!
Resting now beneath his wings!
All for Jesus! all for Jesus!
Resting now beneath his wings!
Jesus, glorious King of kings,
Deigns to call me his beloved,
Lets me rest beneath his wings.
All for Jesus! all for Jesus!
Resting now beneath his wings!
All for Jesus! all for Jesus!
Resting now beneath his wings!

17. Devotional books by C. H. Spurgeon (1834-1892)
Friday, January 16, 2026
16. Devotional books by James Smith (1802-1862)
1. The Believer's Daily Remembrancer
2. The Believer's Daily Remembrancer, Or Pastor's Evening Visit
3. Daily Bible Readings for the Lord's Household
James Smith (1802-1862) as a young child fell into a well and was remarkably rescued from death. His passion as a preacher of the gospel was to rescue “many poor ungodly sinners from a far deeper well.” He pastored several Particular Baptist congregations, including the New Park Street Chapel (1842-1850), where years later C. H. Spurgeon took the pastorate. His succinct devotional style is fresh and memorable.

14. Hymn: How Firm a Foundation
Hymn: How Firm a Foundation
Author: Unknown
1. How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord,
Is lain for your faith in His excellent Word!
What more can He say than to you He hath said,
To you who for refuge to Jesus have fled?
Is lain for your faith in His excellent Word!
What more can He say than to you He hath said,
To you who for refuge to Jesus have fled?
2. Fear not! I am with thee; O be not dismayed,
For I am thy God, and will still give thee aid;
I’ll strengthen thee, help thee, and cause thee to stand,
Upheld by My righteous, omnipotent hand.
For I am thy God, and will still give thee aid;
I’ll strengthen thee, help thee, and cause thee to stand,
Upheld by My righteous, omnipotent hand.
3. When through fiery trials thy pathway shall lie,
My grace, all sufficient, shall be thy supply;
The flame shall not hurt thee; I only design
Thy dross to consume, and thy gold to refine.
My grace, all sufficient, shall be thy supply;
The flame shall not hurt thee; I only design
Thy dross to consume, and thy gold to refine.
4. The soul that on Jesus hath leaned for repose
I will not, I will not desert to his foes;
That soul, though all hell should endeavor to shake,
I’ll never, no never, no never forsake!
I will not, I will not desert to his foes;
That soul, though all hell should endeavor to shake,
I’ll never, no never, no never forsake!

7. Hymn: Rock of Ages
Hymn: Rock of Ages
Author: Augustus M. Toplady (1740-1778)
1. Rock of ages shelter me,
Let me hide myself in thee!
Let the water, and the blood,
From thy wounded side which flow‵d,
Be of sin the double cure,
Cleanse me from its guilt and power.
Let me hide myself in thee!
Let the water, and the blood,
From thy wounded side which flow‵d,
Be of sin the double cure,
Cleanse me from its guilt and power.
2. Not the labour of my hands
Can fulfil thy law‵s demands;
Could my zeal no respite know,
Could my tears for ever flow,
All for sin could not atone,
Thou must save, and thou alone.
Can fulfil thy law‵s demands;
Could my zeal no respite know,
Could my tears for ever flow,
All for sin could not atone,
Thou must save, and thou alone.
3. Nothing in my hand I bring,
Simply to thy cross I cling;
Naked come to thee for grace;
Helpless, look to thee for grace;
Black, I to the fountain fly,
Wash me, Saviour, or I die!
Simply to thy cross I cling;
Naked come to thee for grace;
Helpless, look to thee for grace;
Black, I to the fountain fly,
Wash me, Saviour, or I die!
4. While I draw this fleeting breath,
When mine eye-strings break in death,
When I soar to worlds unknown,
See thee on thy judgment throne,
Rock of ages shelter me,
Let me hide myself in thee.
When mine eye-strings break in death,
When I soar to worlds unknown,
See thee on thy judgment throne,
Rock of ages shelter me,
Let me hide myself in thee.
