Complete words to CEM Hymnbook Downloaded from www.abcog.org/music/hymn160.txt * 160 I Gave My Life For Thee 1. I gave My life for thee, My precious blood I shed, That thou might'st ransomed be, and quickened from the dead. I gave, I gave My life for thee; What hast thou given for Me? 2. My Father's house of light, My glory circled throne, I left, for earthly night, for wanderings sad and lone. I left, I left it all for thee; Hast thou left aught for Me? 3. And I have brought to thee, down from My home above, Salvation full and free, My pardon and My love. I bring, I bring rich gifts to thee; What hast thou brought to Me? * 161 In the Garden 1. I come to the garden alone, while the dew is still on the roses, and the voice I hear falling on my ear, The Son of God discloses, Refrain: And He walks with me, and He talks with me, and tells me I am His own, and the joy we share as we tarry there none other has ever known. 2. He speaks, and the sound of His voice is so sweet the birds hush their singing, and the melody that He gave to me within my heart is ringing. 3. I'd stay in the garden with Him though the night around me be falling, but He bids me go; through the voice of woe His voice to me is calling. * 162 To Thee I Lift My Soul 1. To Thee I lift my soul, I trust Thee, O my God; Let me not be ashamed, nor let my foes triumph o'er me. Let none that wait on Thee be put to shame at all; But those that without cause transgress, let shame upon them fall. 2. Show me Thy ways, O Lord, O teach Thou me Thy paths, and in Thy truth lead me Thyself, therein my teacher be, for Thou art God that dost to me salvation send; and I upon Thee all the day, expecting, do attend. 3 Thy tender mercies, Lord, remember, pray I thee, and loving kindnesses, for they have ever been of old. My sins and faults of youth, do Thou O Lord, forget; After Thy mercy think on me, and for Thy goodness great. * 163 Since Jesus Came into My Heart 1. What a wonderful change in my life has been wrought since Jesus came into my heart! I have light in my soul for which long I had sought, Since Jesus came in to my heart! Refrain: Since Jesus came into my heart! Since Jesus came into my heart, Floods of joy o'er my soul like the sea billows roll, since Jesus came into my heart. 2. I have ceased from my wandering and going astray since Jesus came into my heart! And my sins which were many are all washed away, since Jesus came into my heart! 3. I'm possessed of a hope that is steadfast and sure since Jesus came into my heart! And no dark clouds of doubt now my pathway obscure since Jesus came into my heart! 4. There's a light in the valley of death now for me since Jesus came into my heart! And the gates of the City beyond I can see, since Jesus came into my heart! I shall go there to dwell in that City, I know, since Jesus came into my heart! And I'm happy, so happy, as onward I go, since Jesus came into my heart! * 164 Now the Day is Over 1. Now the day is over, night is drawing nigh; Shadows of the evening steal across the sky. 2. Jesus, give the weary, calm and sweet repose; With Thy tenderest blessing may our eye lids close. 3. Grant to little children visions bright of Thee; Guard the sailors tossing on the deep blue sea. 4. Through the long night watches, may Thine angels spread their white wings above me, watching around my bed. 5. When the morning wakens, then may I arise, pure and fresh and sinless in Thy holy eyes. * 165 Open My Eyes, That I May See 1. Open my eyes, that I may see glimpses of truth Thou hast for me; Place in my hands the wonderful key that shall unclasp, and set me free. Silently now I wait for Thee, Ready, my God Thy will to see; Open my eyes, illumine me, Spirit divine! 2. Open my ears, that I may hear voices of truth Thou sendest clear, And while the wave notes fall on my ear, everything false will disappear. Silently now I wait for Thee, Ready, my God, Thy will to see; Open my eyes, illumine me, Spirit divine! 3. Open my mouth, and let me bear gladly the warm truth everywhere; Open my heart, and let me prepare love with Thy children thus to share. Silently now I wait for Thee, Ready, my God, Thy will to see; Open my eyes, illumine me, Spirit divine! * 166 Pure Religion 1. Pure religion undefiled before our God and Father, Pure religion from the heart draws all together. Visit orphans in their grief, widows in distress. Keep unspotted from the world, grow in righteousness. 2. Ev'ry good and pleasant gift, it comes from God above, Coming from the Lord of Lights, from the God of love: Of His own will brought us forth, by His Word commands, Leads us by His perfect truth, firstfruits of His plan.

In simple trust like theirs who heard, beside the Syrian Sea, the gracious calling of the Lord, Let us, like them, without a word, rise up and follow Thee. 3. Drop Thy still dews of quietness till all our strivings cease; Take from our souls the strain and stress, and let our ordered lives confess the beauty of Thy peace. 4.

Because of watchful enemies, O lead me by Thy grace, and in Thy righteousness, Thy way make straight before my face. 4. Let all who trust in Thee be glad, in shouts their praise proclaim.

Keep Thou my feet; I do not ask to see the distant scene, one step enough for me. 2. I was not ever thus, nor prayed that Thou shouldst lead me on; I loved to choose and see my path, but now lead Thou me on! I loved the garish day, and, spite of fears, pride ruled my will. Remember not past years. 3. So long Thy power hath blest me, sure it still will lead me on o'er moor and fen, o'er crag and torrent, till the night is gone, and with the morn, those angel faces smile, which I have loved long since, and lost awhile! * 175 Teach Me to Pray 1.

For they that strangers are to me do up against me rise; Oppressors seek my life but they care not at all for God. 2. The mighty God my Helper is; Lo therefore I am bold. He taketh part with every one that does my soul uphold. To all my watchful foes He will their evil deeds repay, O, for Thy truth's sake cut them off and sweep them all away. 3.

We share our mutual woes, our mutual burdens bear, and often for each other flows, the sympathizing tear. 4. From sorrow, toil and pain and sin we shall be free, and perfect love, and friendship reign through all eternity. [Optional 5.] When we asunder part, it gives us inward pain; but we shall still be joined in heart, and hope to meet again. * 184 You Are There 1. If I fly up to the clouds in heaven, You are there, You are there. If I sink into the depths of earth, You are there, You are there. You have sheltered me behind and front, You have put Your hand on me. To what else can Your love for me compare? You are there. 2. You have searched me, Lord, you know my ways, You are there, You are there. When I fall asleep and when I wake, You are there, You are there. There is not a word that I can speak that You don't know perfectly. To what else can Your love for me compare? You are there. 3. In the blackness of the darkest night, You are there. You are there. And the darkness is to Thee as light, You are there, You are there. Hidden caverns cannot hide from Thee, secret islands in the sea. To what else can Your love for me compare? You are there. 4. Look within me, God, and know my heart; You are there, You are there. Test me now, O Lord, to learn my thoughts, You are there You are there. Take the baneful motives from my heart. Lead me in your loving way. To what else can Your love for me compare? You are there. Copyright, 1990, Condie Erwin * 185 More About Jesus Would I Know 1.

Press hard the fight, no respite make; O Church of God, awake, awake! 2. The bars of death He tore apart; The stone, the guard, ah, what were they when He shall rise, the mighty Lord, and usher in the triumph day? He, Who arose in might and power and lives a Victor over all, will lead thee on to victory if thou but hear His battle call. 3. Up then, resolve to valiant be, and force the fight till it is won; Stay not thy hand, and thou shalt win since Christ, thy Captain, leads thee on. What tho' the conflict long may be, and when thy weapons are laid down, thou shalt be wounded, weak and worn? Thy Lord in honor thee shalt crown. * 189 At Even, When the Sun was Set 1. At even, when the sun was set, the sick, O Lord, around Thee lay; O in what diverse pains they met! O with what joy they went away! 2. Once more 'tis eventide, and we, oppressed with various ills, draw near; What if Thy form we cannot see? We know and feel that Thou art here. 3. O Savior Christ, our woes dispel; for some are sick, and some are sad, and some have never loved Thee well, and some have lost the love they had. 4. O Savior Christ, Thou too art man; Thou hast been troubled, tempted, tried. Thy kind but searching glance can scan the very wounds that shame would hide. 5.

In weakness and in want we call on Thee for Whom the heavens are small; Thy glory is Thy children's good, Thy joy Thy tender Fatherhood. 4.
