1. LONELY PILGRIM

I walk a lonely pilgrim here
O'er life's uneven way
My aching heart keeps hoping, for
A bright and better day
A glorious home, a godly land
The blessed, heavenly rest
And well I know that land is near
The home of all who're blest

I walk alone, and oft am sad
And fall the briny tears
My heart is grieved with trails sore
And pressed with many cares
The better land no sorrow knows
There, hushed is every sigh
The Savior's hand in kindness wipes
The tear-drop from each eye

I walk alone, and yet am glad
The blessed promise's given
To cheer the heart--the lowly one
Towards that promised Heaven

The humble path my Savior walked
I scorn it not to tread
The frowns and scoffs my Savior bore
My fall upon my head

I stand upon His precious word
My soul rejoiceth free
The glorious light the Gospel gives
Is light that shines for me
I'll suffer now, I'll triumph then
I'll die for Jesus here
In that bright world I'll live again
A conqueror's crown to wear


2. THE HIGHER ROCK

In the higher rock I'm trusting
Restful, peaceful, saved and free
'Tis the tested rock of ages
Its dear shadow shelters me

Lead me to the rock that's higher
Than the rock poor self can show
Lead me to its perfect shelter
The strong tower from every foe
Yes, the higher rock so towering
Gives, amid life's rudest storms
Perfect refuge, surest safety
Sweetest rest amid alarms
'Tis the higher rock that gives me
Faith's glad strength for every hour
Oh to measure all its gladness
All its preciousness of power

'Tis the higher rock sustains me
Joyously from day to day
Lifting heart, and soul, and spirit
To the purer, holier way
'Tis the higher rock that saves me
'Tis the higher rock I've found
Where abide the crowning graces
Faith and hope and love abound

In the higher rock I'm trusting
Restful, peaceful, saved and free
'Tis the tested rock of ages
Its dear shadow shelters me

So will I sing praises to Thee
For Thy wondrous power to save
Daily 'neath Thy shadow resting
Till the victor's palm I wave

In the higher rock I'm trusting
Restful, peaceful, saved and free
'Tis the tested rock of ages
Its dear shadow shelters me


3. ANGELS ARE COMING

O glorious thought that no more I shall roam
For angels are coming to carry me home
Some wonderful day, in the sweet by and by (by and by)
My soul, on their wings, shall be wafted on high

The angels are coming for me
The angels are coming for me
They're coming I know, and I'm ready to go
The angels of Heaven are coming for me

The angels of Heaven are coming for me
The angels of Heaven are coming for me

When angels shall bear me to mansions of gold
His marvelous glory mine eyes shall behold
And rapture eternal my spirit shall know (shall know)
When, with the bright angels, to glory I go

The angels are coming for me
The angels are coming for me
They're coming I know, and I'm ready to go
The angels of Heaven are coming for me

The angels of Heaven are coming for me
The angels of Heaven are coming for me

When done with the toils and the cares of this life
When ended the turmoil, the sin and the strife
The angels will carry me over the tide
And ever with Jesus my soul shall abide

The angels are coming for me
The angels are coming for me
They're coming I know, and I'm ready to go
The angels of Heaven are coming for me

The angels of Heaven are coming for me
The angels of Heaven are coming for me


4. WHILE MY REDEEMER'S NEAR

While my Redeemer's near
My shepherd and my guide
I bid farewell to anxious fear
My wants are all supplied

To ever fragrant meads
Where rich abundance grows
His gracious hand indulgent leads
And guards my sweet repose

Along the lovely scene
Cool waters gently roll
And kind refreshment smiles serene
To cheer my fainting soul

Here let my spirit rest
How sweet a lot is mine
With pleasure, food, and safety blest
Beneficence divine

Dear Shepherd, if I stray
My wandering feet restore
To Thy fair pastures guide my way
And let me rove no more

While my Redeemer's near
My shepherd and my guide
I bid farewell to anxious fear
My wants are all supplied

Unworthy, as I am
Of Thy protecting care
Jesus, I plead Thy gracious name
For all my hopes are there


5. AFTER THE MIDNIGHT

After the midnight, morning will greet us
After the sadness, joy will appear
After the tempest, sunlight will meet us
After the jeering, praise we shall hear

After the battle, peace will be given
After the weeping, song there will be
After the journey there will be Heaven
Burdens will fall and we shall be free

After the sadness, joy will appear
After the jeering, praise we shall hear

Shadows and sunshine all thro' the story
Teardrops and pleasure, day after day
But when we reach the kingdom of glory
Trials of earth will vanish away

After the shadows, there will be sunshine
After the frown, the soul-cheering smile
Cling to the Savior, love Him forever
All will be well in a little while


6. THROUGH THE VALLEY

Thro' the valley of the shadow
Safe upon the other side
All our weary conflict over
There with Jesus satisfied

There are depths we cannot fathom
There are heights we cannot reach
Lord, Thou knowest, only show us
Every lesson Thou wouldst teach

Very precious is the trial
That uniteth us to Thee
Sever e'en the dearest union
So Thy glory we may see

Thro' the valley of the shadow
Safe upon the other side
All our weary conflict over
There with Jesus satisfied

Thro' the valley of the shadow
Thro' the valley of death


7. DIRE INVADER

Satan, the dire invader, came
Our new made world t'annoy
And death marched dreadful in his rear
His captives to destroy

Caught in his snares, our father sank
With him his children fell
And death his fatal shaft prepared
To smite them down to hell

Jesus with pitying eye beheld
And left His starry crown
Turned his own weapons on the foe
And mowed his legions down

By death the Savior death disarmed
That we in light may shine
And fixed this great, mysterious law
That dust should dust refine

No more the pointed shaft we fear
Nor dread the monster's boast
No more the pious dead we mourn
As friends for ever lost

Their tongues, great Prince of life, shall join
With our recovered breath
And all th'immortal host, t'ascribe
Our victory to Thy death

Our victory to Thy death

9. DREADFUL ROAR

Now Satan comes with dreadful roar
And threatens to destroy
He worries whom he can't devour
With a malicious joy

Ye sons of God, oppose his rage
Resist, and he'll be gone
Thus did our dearest Lord engage
And vanquish him alone

Now he appears almost divine
Like innocence and love
But the old serpent lurks within
When he assumes the dove

Fly from the false deceiver's tongue
Ye sons of Adam, fly
Our parents found the snare too strong
Nor should the children try

Now he appears almost divine
Like innocence and love

But the older serpent lurks within
When he assumes the dove

Now Satan comes with dreadful roar
And threatens to destroy
He worries whom he can't devour
With a malicious joy

Ye sons of God, oppose his rage
Resist, and he'll be gone
Thus did our dearest Lord engage
And vanquish him alone
Him alone


10. THE LORD MY SHEPHERD IS

The Lord my shepherd is
I shall be well supplied
Since He is mine and I am His
What can I want beside

He leads me to the place
Where heav'nly pasture grows
Where living waters gently pass
And full salvation flows

Full salvation flows
Full salvation flows
Full salvation flows
The Lord my shepherd is

If e'er I go astray
He doth my soul reclaim
And guides me in His own right way
For His most holy name

While He affords His aid
I cannot yield to fear
Though I should walk through death's dark shake
My shepherd's with me there

My shepherd's with me there
My shepherd's with me there
My shepherd's with me there
The Lord my shepherd is

In sight of all my foes
Thou dost my table spread
My cup with blessing overflows
And joy exalts my head

The bounties of Thy love
Shall crown my following days
Nor from Thy house will I remove
Nor cease to speak Thy praise

Nor cease to speak Thy praise
Nor cease to speak Thy praise
Nor cease to speak Thy praise
The Lord my shepherd is

The Lord my shepherd is


11. MY SHEPHERD IS THE LORD MY GOD

My shepherd is the Lord my God
What can I want beside
He leads me where green pastures are
And where cool waters hide

He will refresh my soul again
When I am faint and sore
And guide my step for His name's sake
In right paths evermore

Though I should walk the vale of death
I should not know a fear
Thy rod and staff they comfort me
Thou, Lord, art ever near

A table Thou hast spread for me
In presence of my foes
Thou dost anoint my head with oil
My cup, Lord, overflows

Thy goodness and Thy mercy, Lord
Will surely follow me
And in Thy house forevermore
My dwelling place shall be


12. BLACK SNAKE

Down, down, down below the grave
Heaven has turned away
Dust, dust, dust will be his feed
A lethal blow to end his days

Lies, lies, lies are all he speaks
Contamination of your mind
Dark, dark, darkness fills your eyes
Delusion tries to make you blind

He's like a beast who lies in hiding
A mercenary of deceit
I hear the tolling of the death bell
I see his ultimate defeat

He is the Black Snake of rebellion
He is the slayer of the young
He is the hellborn of the angels
His destiny will be the flames

Death, death is all around
But you can surely break away
Blood, blood, blood has paid the price
The Prince of Peace will show the way

He who is in me is greater
Than he who is in the world
He who is in me is greater
Than he who is in the world


13. FEAR?

When evil men advance against me
To devour my flesh
When my enemies and foes attack me
They will stumble and fall

Though an army besiege me
My heart will not fear
Though war break out against me
I will not be afraid

The Lord is my light and my salvation
Whom shall I fear?
The Lord is stronghold of my life
Of whom shall I be afraid?

Praise be to the Lord, our God
For he heard my cry
The Lord is my strength and my shield
Demons I don't fear

O Lord, I called to you for help
And you healed me
O Lord you brought me up from the grave
Even death I don't fear

The Lord is my light and my salvation
Whom shall I fear?
The Lord is stronghold of my life
Of whom shall I be afraid?

The Lord is my light
The Lord is his light
The Lord is your light
The Lord is our light

When evil men advance against me
To devour my flesh
When my enemies and foes attack me
They will stumble and fall

The Lord is my light and my salvation
Whom shall I fear?
The Lord is stronghold of my life
Of whom shall I be afraid?
