Overcome the World.

G. M. BILLS. M. L. McPHAIL.

Thus speaks our risen glorious Lord, In earnest king-ly tones

"I know Thy works," O Lamb of God! Much Thou hast done for me;

"I would that thou wert hot or cold;" O warning words divine;

I hear thy knock, O Heav'nly Guest, The door is open now;

To him that hath a hearing ear, "To him that over-comes;"

My heart is humbled when I ask, What I have done for Thee?

May not their mean-ing ever rend This tremb-ling heart of mine;

Grant me the bliss with Thee to feast, Until in death I bow;

Hear O my soul the faithful word! A-wake my droop-ing eyes!

A clearer vision of Thy love O'erwhelms my fleshly fears;

I would retain the earn-est zeal That loyal love in-spires,

If I but keep thy sacred trust, I'll soon be safe at home

FINE.

The hour has come to do and dare; To win a heav'n-ly prize.

I'll strive to serve my Lord a-lone, Thro'-out my future years.

That helps me conquer ever-more The flesh and its desires.

To share a feast of end-less joy With those who over-come.

D. S. O-bey His word and share His throne, While bliss-ful a-ges roll.

CHORUS.

O-overcome the world; 'Tis the Savior's voice, Hear His promise, O my soul.

Overcome the world; 'Tis the Savior's voice. Hear His promise, Hear His promise, O my soul.

It Is Jesus.

Jesus, Savior, Pilot Me.

Je-sus, Sav-ior, pi-lot me, O-ver life's tem-pest-uous sea;

As a moth-er stills her child Thou canst hush the o-cean wild;

When at last I near the shore, And the fear - ful break-ers roar,

Unknown waves be-fore me roll, Hid-ing rocks and treach'rous shoal; Boist'rous waves o-bey Thy will, When Thou sayst to them,"Be still!" 'Twixt me and the peaceful rest, Then while lean-ing on Thy breast,

Chart and com-pass came from Thee; Je-sus, Sav - ior, pi - lot me. Wondrous sov'reign of the sea, Je-sus, Sav - ior, pi - lot me. May I hear Thee say to me, "Fear not, I will pi - lot thee!"

Song of Triumph.

W. C. MARTIN. M. L. McPHAIL.

What thing shall sep- a- rate us from the love of Christ the Lord?

I now am quite per-suad-ed that no pow- ers, life or death,

Ah, who shall lay gross e- vil to the charge of God’s e- lect?

Shall bit- ter per- se- cu- tion, fam- ine, per- il, or the sword?

Nor pres- ent things, nor things to come, nor height, nor things beneath,

'Tis God who jus- ti- fi- eth and who pledg- es to pro- tect.

For Thy sake, it is writ- ten, we are killed the whole day long;

Nor an- y- thing shall sep- a- rate us from His pre- cious love;

Who dares condemn a saint of God since Je- sus for him died?

But ev- en in af- flic- tion we may raise the tri- umph song:

No things of dark- ness here be- low, nor things of light a- bove.

The claims of jus- tice by that blood are whol- ly sat- is- fied.

CHORUS.

Through Je- sus Christ, who loved us And the cross for sin- ners bore,

Gathering Sheaves For Jesus.

H. J. ZELLEY.

M. L. McPHAIL.

Out in the harvest field we go, Reap-ing to - day as oth-ers sow,

Yonder the ripened harvests stand, Wait-ing the reapers skillful hand;

When in the almost barren fields, Scanty the grain the poor soil yields,

Thus we are toiling,Lord,for Thee,Gleaning the wheat on bended knee,

Toil ing up-on the earth be low, Gathering sheaves for Je sus. Join with the Christian workers' band,Gathering sheaves for Je sus. Dil i gent hand the sick le wields, Gathering sheaves for Je sus. Seek ing to set the captives free; Gathering sheaves for Je sus.

Hap - py are we and sat - is-fied, Gath-er-ing sheaves for Je - sus.

Oh, He guides me by His eye, Praise His name, Praise His name;

I'm a subject of His grace, Praise His name, Praise His name;

Praise His name, Praise His name;

And I love the precious word, Praise His name, Praise His name.

All my needs doth He supply, Praise His name, Praise His name.

And I long to see His face,—Praise His name, Praise His name.

Praise His name, Praise His name.

For it tells His love to me, Tells of mercy full and free,

Day by day He leads me on, By the path the saints have gone,

He's my shelter from the blast,—I shall dwell with Him at last,

Of the death on Calvary, Praise His name, Praise His name.

And His might I lean up on, Praise His name, Praise His name.

When afflictions here are past, Praise His name, Praise His name.

The faith that sets sin's cap-tives free, That hath our son-ship sealed

We kiss the smit-ing hand of love, Be-lov-ed sons of God.

When world-ly art our nature tries We cling to God's command.

62 I'll Go Where You Want Me to Go.

62 I’ll Go Where You Want Me to Go.

MARY BROWN.

Andante.

It may not be on the mountain’s height, Or over the storm-y sea;

Per-haps to-day there are loving words Which Je-sus would have me speak—

There’s surely somewhere a low-ly place, In earth’s harvest field so wide—

It may not be at the bat-tle’s front My Lord will have need of me;

There may be now in the paths of sin Some wand’rer whom I should seek—

Where I may labor thro’life’s short day For Je-sus the cruci-fied—

But, if by a still, small voice He calls To paths that I do not know,

O Savior, if Thou wilt be my guide, Tho’dark and rugged the way,

So trusting my all to Thy tender care, And know-ing Thou lov-est me,

I’ll answer, dear Lord, with my hand in Thine, I’ll go where you want me to go.

My voice shall echo Thy mes-sage sweet, I’ll say what you want me to say.

I’ll do Thy will with a heart sin-cere, I’ll be what you want me to be.

REFRAIN.

I’ll go where you want me to go, dear Lord, O-ver mountain, or plain, or sea;

I'll Go Where You Want Me to Go.

Concluded.

63 Love That Seeketh Not Her Own.

KATE ULMER.

M. L. McPHAIL.

May the love of Christ a - bide, In our hearts un-ceas- ing,

Love re - veal - ing heav'n be - low, Love that fail - eth nev - er;

Love com - pas - sion - ate and strong, All things meek - ly bear - ing,

Je - sus, Thou the fount di - vine, Fill us to o'er - flow - ing,

Gush - ing forth a glad-d'ning tide, Ev - er - more in - creas - ing.

To all e - vil think - ing slow, Hop - ing, trust - ing ev - er.

Pa - tient, ten - der, suf-f'ring long, For the need - y car - ing.

In thine im - age help us shine, Thy great love forth-show - ing.

CHORUS.

Love that seek - eth not her own, Love on Cal-vrys hill - top shown,

I've Found an Anchor.

KATE ULMER.

M. L. McPHAIL.

I've found an an-chor for my soul, That will not move tho' bil-lows roll;

Long time I sailed the o-cean wide, A-drift with ev-'ry wind and tide;

The tides oft-times my ca-bles strain, But seek to rend the strands in vain;

And should my soul e'er be a-fraid The bless-ed cov'nant He hath made;

The har-bor lights are gleaming bright,They beck-on to the port of light;

The storms may rage,the tempests blow, My ca-bles but the stronger grow. But now with an-chor safe-ly cast, I do not fear the strongest blast. My Sav - ior holds them in His hand, And thus the dan-ger they withstand. And hath confirmed with oath di-vine Bids ev-'ry fear its hold re-sign. And soon, ah,soon I'll en-ter there And an-chor in its wa-ters fair.

CHORUS.

The bless- ed hope my Lord hath giv'n, That I shall see His face in heav'n;

And then like Him shall ev - er be, This is my an-chor on life's sea.

Never Alone.

EREN E. REXFORD.

Effective as a Solo and Chorus.

The way that leads us heav'n-ward Is oft-en rough and steep;

Then, thinking of the burden He bore up Calv'ry's hill,

Oh, soul, hast thou for-got-ten The message won-drous sweet

Take courage, way-worn pil-grim! Tho' mists and shad-ows hide

We struggle in the darkness, And some-times pause to weep;

We cease our weak com-plain-ing, Our lips, for shame are still,

Of Him who left be-hind Him The print of bleeding feet?

The face of Christ who loves thee, He's ever at thy side,

Then comes a thought to comfort The heart, dis-cour-aged grown,

And hearts that pain has tortured For-get to make their moan,

"I never will for-sake thee! Dear child, when wea-ry grown,

Reach out thy hand to find Him, And lo! the mists have flown—

He who trod Calv'ry's path-way Never will leave thee a-lone.

Re-mem-b'ring Him who promised Never to leave us a-lone.

Re-member I have promised Never to leave thee a-lone."

He smiles, and whis-pers softly, "Never to leave thee a-lone."

D. S.-He promised never to leave thee, Never to leave thee a-lone.

Never Alone. Concluded.

CHORUS.

No, never alone, No never alone!

67 God's Mighty Army.

H. J. ZELLEY.

M. L. McPHAIL.

The young man's heart was filled with fear When he be-held the foe so near;

E - li - sha pray'd, "Lord, I pray Thee, Open his eyes that he may see."

And thus we find from day to day Our foes sur-round to stop our way,

Then quickly rise, dis-miss your fear, For need-ed help is al-ways near;

"A las! what shall we do?" he cried; His Master, strong in faith, replied:

The pray'r was heard, he looked a-round And there the fiery char-iots found.

But tho' they're near, we'll ne'er forget God's might-y host is near-er yet.

The hosts of God a-round us stand, More strong than all the host-tile band.

CHORUS.

Then fear ye not, fresh courage take, The God we serve will ne'er for-sake;

Tho' now un-seen, a-round us lies God's might-y army of the skies.

Bells are ringing! trumpets sounding! Tell-ing of the glo-rious morn;

Earth's dark night will soon be over, Sa-tan's king-dom soon will cease;

Sun-shine from Je-ho-vah's presence, Mercies from His gracious hand;

No more death, and pain, and sorrow, No more tears of grief and woe,

Bells are ringing! trumpet's sounding! Tell-ing of this glo-rious morn;

Christian wel-come Christ's ap-pear-ing, Hail the bright mil-len-nal dawn.

Hail the ev-er-last-ing Father, Might-y Sav-ior, Prince of peace!

Will be scat-tered o'er the nations, Joy will glad-den ev-'ry land.

God will come and dwell with mortals, Christ will con-quer ev-'ry foe.

Christian, wel-come Jesus' presence, Hail, His bright mil-len-nal dawn!

Chorus.

Blessed Jesus! lov-ing Sav-ior! Born to save the world from sin;

Quickly come in Thy great king-dom, Bring the age of

glo-ry in, Bring the age of glo-ry in.

Be Steadfast.

Be stead-fast for Je-sus wher-ev-er you go, And fear not in

Be stead-fast in serv ice and joy-ful ly bring, Your dear-est and
