Blest, Blest Forever

Only a little while, sowing and reaping,

Only a little while, our vigil keeping;

Then we shall gather home, no more to sever,

Clasped in eternal love, blest, blest forever.

Only a little while, heartbreak and sorrow,

Dark though the night may be, cloudless the morrow;

Only a little while, Earth ties to sever,

Then in our Father land, blest, blest forever.

Only a little while, shadow and sadness,

Then in eternity sunshine and gladness;

Only a little while, then o'er the river,

Home, rest and victor palm, life, joy forever.

Rescue The Perishing

Rescue the perishing, care for the dying

Rescue the perishing, care for the dying,

Snatch them in pity from sin and the grave;

Weep over the erring one, lift up the fallen,

Tell them of Jesus, the Mighty to save.

Rescue the perishing,

Care for the dying;

Jesus is merciful,

Jesus will save.

Though they are slighting Him, still He is waiting,

Waiting the penitent child to receive.

Plead with them earnestly, plead with them gently,

He will forgive if they only believe.

Down in the human heart, crushed by the tempter,

Feelings lie buried that grace can restore;

Touched by a loving hand, wakened by kindness,

Chords that were broken will vibrate once more.

Rescue the perishing, duty demands it;

Strength for thy labour the Lord will provide;

Back to the narrow way, patiently win them;

Tell the poor wanderer a Saviour has died.
