Where do I go from here? What fate is drawing near? Touch my heart and guide my lips in prayer. Through the grace of God alone I'll cast aside these fears I've known And lift myself from the depths of deep despair Lead me through the darkness And through each gloomy day Take my hand, O precious Lord And help me on my way Give me strength that I might find Abiding faith and peace of mind And I won't ask, where do I go from here? Please lead me through the darkness And through each gloomy day Take my hand, O precious Lord And help me on my way Give me strength that I might find Abiding faith and peace of mind And I won't ask Where do I go from here? I'd rather have Jesus than silver or gold. I'd rather be his than have riches untold. I'd rather have Jesus than houses or land. Yes, I'd rather be led by His male-pierced hands than to be the king of a vast domain And be held in sin's dread sway I'd rather have Jesus Than anything this world affords today I'd rather have Jesus than worldly applause. I'd rather be faithful to His dear cause. I'd rather have Jesus than worldwide fame. Yes, I'd rather be true to His holy name than to be the king of a vast dome Can be held in sin's bread sway I'd rather have Jesus Than anything this world affords today Some glad morning when this life is o'er, I'll fly away. To a home on God's celestial shore, I'll fly away. I'll fly away, O glory, I'll fly away When I die, hallelujah, by and by I'll fly away When the shadows of this life have flown I'll fly away Like a bird from prison bars has flown I'll fly away I'll fly away, oh glory, I'll fly away When I die, hallelujah, by and by I'll fly away Just a few more weary days and then I'll fly away To a land where joy shall never end I'll fly away I'll fly away, oh glory, yes, I'll fly away When I die, hallelujah, by and by I'll fly away We thank Thee each morning for a newborn day, where we may work the fields of new-mown hay. We thank Thee for the sunshine and the air that we breathe, O Lord. We thank Thee Thank Thee for the rivers that run all day Thank Thee for the little birds that sing along the way Thank Thee for the trees and the deep blue sea O Lord, we thank Thee Oh yes, we thank Thee, Lord, for every flower that blooms Birds that sing, fish that swim, and the light of the moon We thank Thee every day as we kneel and pray That we were born with eyes to see these things Thank Thee for the fields where the clover is grown. Thank Thee for the pastures where cattle may roam. Thank Thee for Thy love so pure and free, O Lord, we thank Thee. Oh yes, we thank Thee, Lord, for every flower that blooms Birds that sing, fish that swim, and the light of the moon We thank Thee every day as we kneel and pray That we were born with eyes to see these things Yes, we thank Thee for the fields where the clover is grown. Thank Thee for the pastures where cattle may roam. Thank Thee for Thy love so pure and so free, O Lord, we thank Thee. I have heard of a land On a faraway strand Tis a beautiful home of the soul Built by Jesus on high There we never shall die Tis a land where we never grow old Never grow old Never grow old In a land where we'll never grow old Never grow old, never grow old In a land where we'll never grow old When our work here is done, and the life crown is won, and our troubles and trials are o'er, all our sorrow will end, and our voices will blend with the loved ones who've gone on before. Never grow old, never grow old In a land where we'll never grow old Never grow old, never grow old In a land where we'll never go home My cathedral has a ceiling of blue My cathedral neath the sky Where I may lift up my eyes onto the hills and hear music from a stream rippling by My cathedral has an altar of flowers Their fragrant incense fills the air In my cathedral I am closer to Him Than I could be anywhere Or here I pray in a place so grand The carpet I kneel on Was made by his own hand My cathedral has candles lighted by the stars And mighty pillars of trees No other cathedral is so beautiful For God made my cathedral for me God's keeping the night watch for you and for me. Bright stars are watching the world as it sleeps. Shepherds watch over the little white sheep. The lighthouse is shining for ships far at sea, as God keeps the night watch for you and for me. So sleep, sleep in peace and rest. Don't be afraid of the darkness. All's well for over the land and the sea. God's keeping the night much for you and for me. God keeps the night watch for you and for me So sleep, sleep in peace and rest Don't be afraid of the darkness All's well for over the land and the sea God's keeping the night watch for you and for me When my way groweth drear, precious Lord, linger near, When my life is almost gone. Hear my cry, hear my call, hold my hand lest I fall. Take my hand, precious Lord, lead me on. Precious Lord, take my hand, lead me on, let me stand. I am tired, I am weak, I am warm. Through the storm, through the night, lead me on to the light. Take my hand, precious Lord, lead me home. When my work is all done And my race here is run Let me see by the light thou hast shown That fair city so bright Where the Lamb is the light Take my hand, precious Lord Lead me on Precious Lord, take my hand Lead me on, let me stand I am tired, I am weak, I am worn Through the storm, through the night Lead me on to the light Take my hand, precious Lord Lead me home This world is not my home I'm just a passing through My treasures are laid up Somewhere beyond the blue The angels beckon me From heaven's open door And I can't feel at home in this world anymore Oh Lord, you know I have no friend like you If heaven's not my home, then Lord, what will I do? The angels beckon me from heaven's open door And I can't feel at home in this world anymore I have a loving mother just over in glory land And I don't expect to stop until I shake her hand She's waiting now for me in heaven's open door And I can't feel at home in this world anymore Oh Lord, you know I have no friend like you If heaven's not my home, then Lord, what will I do? The angels beckon me from heaven's open door And I can't feel at home in this world anymore Just over in glory land we'll live eternally The saints on every hand are shouting victory Their songs of sweetest praise Drip back from heaven's shore And I can't feel at home In this world anymore Oh, Lord, you know I have no friend like you If heaven's not my home Then, Lord, what will I do? The angels beckon me from heaven's open door, and I can't feel at home in this world anymore. My soul is lost So lonely and so cold Just like a lamb that has strayed from the fold Across the barren waste of sin I roam O gentle shepherd, hear my cry and lead me home The hours go by on frightened wings of flight Wild wolves of hell Are waiting for the night To claim the soul That wandered from the fold O gentle shepherd, hear my cry and save my soul O gentle shepherd, hear my long cry And in thy cool green pastures Let me lie Beside the still clear waters Lead thou me O gentle shepherd, safe forevermore with thee.

I asked for a robe He gave me no robe to wear I asked for a crown He gave me a cross to wear He knows what I need Yes, indeed He knows what I need He knows what I need I asked for myself He showed me a friend in need Oh, I must be fair He gave me his word to read He knows what I need Yes, indeed He knows what I need He knows what I need Oh, some happy day I'm going away Oh, I will be heaven found. He knows what I need. Yes, indeed. He knows what I need. He knows what I need. He'll wipe all my tears away To hear His well done Oh, that will be heaven to me He knows what I need Yes, indeed He knows what I need He knows what I need All the way from heaven's throne To a manger then alone Led to the cross He came to suffer Every pain He asked for a cup But oh what a bitter cup He never complained He murmured not a word He knows what I need Yes, indeed He knows what I need He knows what I need Each day I'll do a golden deed by helping those who are in me. My life on earth is but a span, and so I'll do the best I can. Life's evening sun is sinking low a few more days. And I must go to meet the deed that I have done where there will be no setting sun. To be a child of God each day, my light must shine along the way. I'll sing His praise while ages roll and strive to help some troubled soul. The only life that will endure Is one that's kind and good and pure And so for God, I'll take my sand Each day I'll lend a helping hand Life's evening sun is sinking low. A few more days, and I must go to meet the deeds that I have done, where there will be no setting sun. I heard about a man one day who wasted not his time away. He prayed to God every morning, noon and night. He cared not for the king's decree, but trusted God to set him free. Old Daniel, pray every morning, noon and night. Old Daniel served the living God, while here upon this earth he trod. He prayed to God every morning, noon and night. He cared not for the things of Baal, but trusted one who never failed. Old Daniel, pray every morning, noon and night. The End He's a certain God, while here upon this earth he trod, he prays, he prays to God every morning, noon and night. He cannot score the things of fail, but trust that one will never fail. Oh, then he'll pray every morning, noon and night. I remember the time when in darkness I wandered on the mountain of sin I had traveled so long like the prodigal son All my goods I had squandered, but the Savior came in, and he gave me a song. I can tell you now the time. I can take you to the place. I can show you the place where the Lord saved me. Where the Lord saved me by his wonderful grace. By his wonderful grace. But I cannot tell you how. And I cannot tell you why. And I cannot tell you why. But he'll tell me all about it. He will tell me all about it. In the by and by, in the by and by. Just a sinner was I. Just a sinner was I. Far away from my Savior going alone. With no hope of reward. With no hope of reward. At the end of the way, at the end of the way. But the Savior came down. But the Savior came down. And he gave me his favor all for my own Now I'm singing his praise Now I'm singing his praise For he saved me that day Truly saved me that day I can tell you now the time I can tell you the time I can take you to the place I can show you the place Where the Lord saved me Where the Lord saved me By his wonderful grace By his wonderful grace But I cannot tell you how For I will not tell you how And I cannot tell you why And I know not the why But he'll tell me all about it He will tell me all about it In the by and by, in the by and by I can never forget I can never forget When he spoke to me gently In the fountain of life In the fountain of life There's a bond for your soul.
