Wandering Child, Come Home

Have you wandered away from your Father’s care,

Heavy-hearted and sad do you roam?

There’s a sweet gentle voice calling now to you –

Wandering child, wandering child, O, come home

Chorus:

Child, come home, child come home,

Wandering child, why longer roam?

This thy Father entreats,

Wandering child, O, come home

Is your frail bark adrift on life’s raging sea,

Are you tossed on its billows and foam?

There’s a safe harbor home, waiting now for you –

Wandering child, wandering child, O, come home

Chorus:

Child, come home, child come home,

Wandering child, why longer roam?

This thy Father entreats,

Wandering child, O, come home

He is pleading today, heed His gentle voice,

As He bids you no longer to roam,

To that dear Father’s house haste without delay –

Wandering child, wandering child, O, come home

Chorus:

Child, come home, child come home,

Wandering child, why longer roam?

This thy Father entreats,

Wandering child, O, come home

Give Up The World, Christ To Obtain

Give up the world, Christ to obtain,

He is your heart’s very need;

What else can you desire or seek?

All things are empty indeed!

He is so rich, He is so full,

He can fulfill all your needs!

He is so good, He is so sweet,

All your desire He exceeds!

Give up the world, Christ to obtain,

He is the One you require;

Once you receive this glorious Christ,

Never the rest you’ll desire.

Though very great is all the world,

And very small is your heart,

Yet the great world with all its wealth

Never can fill your small heart.

If you have Christ, you have all joys;

Without this Christ, only pains;

Where there is Christ there morning is;

Where He is not, night remains.

Stand Up, Stand Up For Jesus

Stand up! Stand up for Jesus!

Ye soldiers of the cross;

Lift high His royal banner,

It must not suffer loss:

From victory unto victory

His army shall He lead,

Till every foe is vanquished

And Christ is Lord indeed

Stand up! Stand up for Jesus!

The trumpet call obey;

Forth to the mighty conflict,

In this His glorious day:

Ye that are men now serve Him

Against unnumbered foes;

Let courage rise with danger,

And strength to strength oppose.

Stand up! Stand up for Jesus!

Stand in His strength alone;

The arm of flesh will fail you,

Ye dare not trust your own:

Put on the gospel armour,

And watching unto prayer;

Where duty calls or danger,

Be never wanting there.

Stand up! Stand up for Jesus!

The strife will not be long;

This day the noise of battle,

The next the victor’s song:

To him that overcometh,

A crown of life shall be;

He with the King of glory

Shall reign eternally.

Thy Word Have I Hid In My Heart

Thy Word is a lamp to my feet,

A light to my path alway,

To guide and to save me from sin,

And show me the heav’nly way.

Thy Word have I hid in my heart,

That I might not sin against Thee;

That I might not sin, that I might not sin,

Thy Word have I hid in my heart.

Forever, O Lord, is Thy Word

Established and fixed on high;

Thy faithfulness unto all men

Abideth forever nigh.

At morning, at noon, and at night

I ever will give Thee praise;

For Thou art my portion, O Lord,

And shall be through all my days!

The Savior and Morning Star,

Salvation and peace have been brought

To those who have strayed afar.

Search Me, O God

Search me, O God, and know my heart today;

Try me, O Lord, and know my thoughts I pray;

See if there be some wicked way in me,

Cleanse me from every sin and set me free.

I praise Thee, Lord for cleansing me from sin;

Fulfill Thy Word, and make me pure within;

Fill me with fire, where once I burned with shame

Grant my desire to magnify Thy name.

Lord, take my life, and make it wholly Thine;

Fill my poor heart with Thy great love divine;

Take all my will, my passion, self and pride;

I now surrender - Lord, in me abide.

O Holy Ghost, revival comes from Thee;

Send a revival - start the work in me:

Thy Word declares Thou wilt supply our need;

For blessing now, O Lord, I humbly plead.

The Clouds Of Judgment Gather

Text: 1 Peter 4:7; 2 Peter 3:10; Isaiah 13:9

Key Verse: "Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man" (Luke 21:36)

The clouds of judgment gather,

The time is growing late;

Be sober and be watchful;

Our Judge is at the gate:

The Judge who comes in mercy,

The Judge who comes in might

To put an end to evil

And diadem the right.

Arise, O true disciples,

Let wrong give way to right,

And penitential shadow

To Jesus’ blessèd light:

The light that has no evening,

That knows no moon or sun,

The light so new and golden,

The light that is but one.

The home of fadeless splendor,

Of blooms that bear no thorn,

Where they shall dwell as children

Who here as exiles mourn;

The peace of all the faithful,

The calm of all the blest,

Inviolate, unfading,

Divinest, sweetest, best.

Oh, happy, holy portion,

Relief for all distressed,

True vision of true beauty,

Refreshment for the blest!

Strive now to win that glory;

Toil now to gain that light;

Send hope ahead to grasp it,

Till hope be lost in sight.

Speak A Word

Speak a word, a loving word for Jesus,

Everywhere you go;

Tell poor sinners how He died to save them

From eternal woe.

Speak a word for Jesus, speak it quickly,

Swiftly glides the time away,…

Daily tell the wondrous story of the Master’s glory,

Speak a loving word today.

Speak a word, a tender word for Jesus,

To the sin-sick soul;

Tell him Christ, who came to save the vilest,

Waits to make him whole.

Speak a word, a warning word for Jesus,

Speak it day by day,

Strive to lead some weak and wandering brother

In the narrow way.

Fear Not

Text: Isaiah 35:4; John 14:27; 2 Timothy 1:7

Fear not, fear not, O be not dismayed,

For I am thy God and will still give thee aid.

I will strengthen and guide thee, and help thee to stand,

Upheld by my righteous, omnipotent hand.

When through fiery trials thy pathways shall lie,

My grace, all sufficient, shall be thy supply.

The flame shall not hurt thee; my only design

Is to make you more holy, more pure, and refined.

The soul that on Jesus has leaned for repose,

I will not, I cannot desert to its foes;

That soul, though all hell should endeavor to shake,

It mattereth not, for I’ll never, never forsake.

Clothe Yourself With Humility

Clothe yourself with humility,

Don’t try to take first place.

For God opposes all the proud,

But gives the humble grace.

Humble yourself beneath God’s hand,

Someday He’ll lift you high.

Cast your anxiety on Him,

His care will never die.

Be self-controlled and on alert,

Satan is prowling round.

He’s like a lion seeking prey;

Stand firm and don’t give ground.

Stand firm and steadfast in the faith;

You’re not alone in trial.

Your Christian brothers round the earth

Suffer like you a while.

The God of grace will see you through;

Someday His face you’ll see.

You’ll share the glory of His Son

For all eternity.

And after you have suffered here,

God will remove your care.

He’ll make you strong, steadfast, and firm;

His be the power fore’er!

Must I Go And Empty-Handed?

Text: Proverbs 11:30, Daniel 12:3

Must I go, and empty-handed,

Thus my dear Redeemer meet?

Not one day of service give Him,

Lay no trophy at His feet?

Must I go, and empty-handed?

Must I meet my Saviour so?

Not one soul with which to greet Him;

Must I empty-handed go?

Not at death I shrink nor falter,

For my Saviour saves me now;

But to meet Him empty-handed,

Thoughts of that now cloud my brow.

O the years in sinning wasted,

Could I but recall them now,

I would give them to my Saviour,

To His will I'll gladly bow.

O ye saints, arouse, be earnest,

Up and work while yet 'tis day;

Ere the night of death o'er take thee,

Strive for souls while still you may.

Be Now Imitators Of Your Lord

Be now imitators of your Lord;

You’re His children through His love outpoured.

Let love show now in all you do,

As Christ loved and gave Himself for you,

As a sacrifice to God.

All impurity put far away.

Don’t be greedy; watch the things you say.

These aren’t proper for God’s dear children;

You will never gain the wealth of Heaven,

In the kingdom of Christ and God.

Don’t be taken in by empty words;

Those who disobey, God’s wrath incur.

You were darkness, but now you’re light;

Let your life be good and true and right,

And find out what pleases God.

Stay away from fruitless deeds,

Done in secret out of lust and greed.

Let Christ’s light shine on all that’s dark,

And expose what’s missed God’s mark.

Bring to light every sinful act.

So be careful in the things you do;

Act with wisdom in whatever you pursue.

Make the most of every hour;

Don’t let evil exercise its power.

Be not foolish, but know God’s will.

Let the Spirit now your life control,

And let psalms and hymns flow from your soul.

In your heart, speak to God and sing,

Giving thanks for everything,

In the name of Jesus Christ.

All who cleave to Christ the Head;

Wake, arise! O mighty nation,

Ere the foe on Zion tread.

Thro' the blood of Christ our ransom,

More than conquerors are we.

Saints and heroes long before us

Firmly on this ground have stood;

See their banners waving o'er us

Conquerors through Jesus' blood.

Deathless we are all unfearing,

Life laid up with Christ in God;

In the morn of His appearing

Floweth forth a glory flood.

Soon we all shall stand before Him,

See and know our glorious Lord;

Soon in joy and light adore Him,

Each receiving his reward.

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.

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.

He Is Coming Soon

Jesus is coming soon

From The Truth Media family,

Happy Good Friday!!!

In these, the closing days of time,

What joy the glorious hope affords,

That soon - O wondrous truth sublime!

He shall reign, King of kings and Lord of Lords.

He is coming soon, He is coming soon;

With joy we welcome His returning;

It may be morn, it may be night or noon -

We know He is coming soon.

The signs around - in earth and air,

Or painted on the starlit sky,

God’s faithful witnesses - declare

That the coming of the Savior draweth nigh.

The dead in Christ who beneath us lie,

In countless numbers, all shall rise

When through the portals of the sky

He shall come to prepare our paradise.

And we, who living, yet remain,

Caught up, shall meet our faithful Lord;

This hope we cherish not in vain,

But we comfort one another by this word.
