KINGDOM HYMNS WITH MUSIC

INTERNATIONAL BIBLE STUDENTS ASSOCIATION BROOKLYN, N.Y. U.S.A.

Preface

The hymns in this book are called "Kingdom Hymns" because they relate to the kingdom of God. All who love the Lord Jesus and his appearing delight to sing hymns to his praise. He is here. The command to the Christian is that this good news shall be told to the people.

The children are a rising generation, many of whom will be among those who will never die. Surely they should be taught to sing the praises of the King of glory, who comes to bless all the families of the earth who will receive his blessing. In the children's Bible classes these hymns will be found helpful and beneficial. Song soothes the mind and makes glad the heart. The song of praise now beginning to rise in the earth will continue until finally every creature that breathes will be singing the praises of the King of kings and Lord of lords.

The selection of these hymns was made chiefly by Brother William F. Jones of Vancouver, B. C. The writers are divers. The Society publishes them to encourage the young in the study of the Divine Plan and in their praise to the great King, Christ Jesus, and to the Almighty, Jehovah God. They are sent forth with the prayer that they may be a blessing to many.

Foreword

For many centuries parents have taught their children that God has provided a great lake of fire in which He will torment sinners forever. Necessarily such thoughts frightened the children, who have often heard the name of God with dread, fear and trembling.

In the Sunday Schools God's name has been largely ignored except to tell the children what a terrible place He has for the punishment of the wicked. The name of Jesus has been magnified, however, and the little ones have been told about His goodness and that He might save them. As proof of what has been the effect of the teaching of error upon the child mind, the following instance is related. A little child after some moments of silent meditation addressed its parent thus, "Mother, I know what I am going to do as soon as I get to heaven; I am going to run and hide behind Jesus so God can't get me."

Living now in the light of present truth those parents who know God's plan owe it to their children and to their neighbor's children to teach them the truth concerning God and His beloved Son Jesus Christ. There are millions of children now on earth who will live forever and not die, but they must know the truth. Jesus said, "This is life eternal, that they might know thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent."

Up to now there never has been such an opportunity to teach the children that God is the great author of everything that is good; that in Him are equally balanced wisdom, justice, love and power and that everything He does for man is for his good; that it was God who gave His beloved Son Jesus, to die as a sacrifice that man might have an opportunity for life. Teach the children the truth concerning Jehovah and they will love Him and serve Him. They will magnify His name and magnify the name of Jesus the great Redeemer. Then the children will want to sing the praises of God and the Lord Jesus.

In view of the fact that we are now living in the time of the Lord's second presence, when He as the great king and executor of Jehovah's plan is setting up His kingdom, it is the blessed privilege of the older ones to teach the children to sing the praises of Jehovah and the praises of His beloved Son. In the language of the Psalmist,

Sing praises,

Sing praises unto our King,

Sing praises."

—Psalm 47:6.

Believing that there is a great need for a song book for the children which will enable them to sing the praises of the Lord in harmony with His plan, we are publishing and sending forth the following collection of hymns. Much credit is due to Brother Wm. Jones of Vancouver, B. C., for this arrangement of poems and hymns. Having confidence in his ability as a musician and knowing him to be thoroughly devoted to the Lord, we have relied much on his judgment in the selection of the ones here published. Some assistance was also rendered by a fully consecrated Sister in Christ.

We hope the little ones will find much joy in singing these hymns to the praise of our Lord and of Jehovah, and that their parents will be made glad and join with the children in these songs of praise.

With the hope that these songs may gladden the hearts of many children and bring honor and praise to the Great Creator, from whom cometh every good and perfect gift, and also be to the praise of His beloved Son, we send them forth.

All for Jesus

All for Jesus! all for Jesus!

Let my hands perform his bidding;

Since my eyes were fixed on Jesus.

All my beating's ransomed pow'rs;

Let my feet run in his ways;

I've lost sight of all be-side—

All my thoughts and words and do-ings,

Let my eyes see Jesus on-ly;

So enchained my spirit's vision,

All my days and all my hours.

Let my lips speak forth his praise.

Lock-ing at the cruci-fied.

All for Jesus! all for Jesus!

All my days and all my hours.

Let my lips speak forth his praise.

All for Jesus cruci-fied!

2 A Second Time our Lord Has Come BEATITUDO.

J. B. DYKES

A sec-ond time our Lord has come, Un-seen by mor-tal eye,

No more he comes to yield his life A ran-som for our race,

His presence here is now to break The pow'r of Sa-tan's sway,

Be-neath his rule this earth of ours In love-li-ness shall grow;

But not a-gain to suf-fer pain, And on the cross to die. A price to give that we might live Through his re-deem ing grace. The world to win from strife and sin, And bring the per-fect day. And all man-kind their life shall find A Par-a-dise be-low.

Birds Are Singing, Woods Are Ringing

L. F. COLE

An - gels soon will join the cho-rus Which all earth shall sing to thee;

Lake and moun-tain, field and foun-tain, To thy throne their tri-butes bring. Blos-soms break-ing, na-ture wak-ing, Chant thy prais-es mer-ri-ly. Heaven be ring-ing, earth be sing-ing, Prais-es to thee joy-ful-ly.

REFRAIN

We, thy chil-dren, join the cho-rus, Mer-ri-ly, cheer-i-ly, glad-ly praise thee;

Glad ho-san-nas, glad ho-san-nas, Joy-ful-ly we lift to thee.

4 Blessed Bible

PLEYEL'S HYMN. 7.

Blessed Bible, precious Word! Boon most sacred from the Lord;

'Tis a ray of pur-est light, Beaming through the depths of night;

'Tis a fountain, pouring forth Streams of life to glad-den earth.

'Tis a mine, aye, deep-er, too, Than can mortal ever go;

Glo-ry to his name be-giv'n, For this choicest gift from heav'n.

Bright-er than ten thousand gems Of the cost-liest di-a-dems.

Whence e-ter-nal blessings flow, An-ti-dote for hu-man woe.

Search we may for man-y years, Still some new, rich gem ap-pears.

Come, Ye Children, Sweetly Sing

7.7.7.3.

Come, ye children, sweetly sing Praises to your Saviour King;

Jesus is the chil-dren's Friend, Loving, faithful to the end;

Once from heav'n to earth he came, Suffered death, contempt, and blame;

Help us love thee more and more, Serve thee truly ever more,

Hearts and voices gladly bring: Praise his name!

Richest gifts from Him descent, Joy and peace.

Died upon a cross of shame, Crowned with thorns.

Till thy ransom all a-dore Thy great love.

Still let thy grace our life direct;

With hearts resigned to thee;

The hand that feeds us still;

From evil guard our way;

But present still through all thy works

And as in heav'n thy will is done,

Give us our bread, and teach to rest

And in temp-tation's fatal path

Glory to thee, my King, this night,

For-give me then, thou Holy One,

Oh, let my soul on thee re-pose!

For all the blessings of the light;

The ills that I this day have done;

And may sweet sleep mine eye-lids close:

Keep me, oh, keep me, King of kings,

Sleep that shall me more vigorous make,

Be-neath thine own al-mighty wings!

I, ere I sleep, at peace may be.

To serve my King when I awake.

He paints the lily of the field Perfumes each lily bell;

God made the little birds and flowers And all things large and small

If he so loves the little flowers, I know he loves me well.

20 Hark, My Soul! it is the Lord

ST. BEES. 7.7.7.7.

J. B. DYKES

Hark, my soul! it is the Lord; 'Tis thy Saviour; hear his Word:

I de-liv-ered thee when bound; And, when bleeding, healed thy wound;

Mine is an unchanging love, Higher than the heights a-bove,

Lord, it is my chief complaint That my love is weak and faint;

Je-sus speaks, and speaks to thee:—Say, my dear one, lov'st thou me?

Sought thee wandering, set thee right; Turned thy dark-ness in-to light.

Deeper than the depths be-neath, Free and faith-ful, strong as death.

Yet I love thee, and a-dore: O for grace to love thee more!

Hark!

the Song of Jubilee

Hark! the song of Ju-bi-lee, Loud as mighty thunder's roar,

Hal-le-lu-jah! Hark! the sound, From the depths un-to the skies,

He shall reign from pole to pole, With il-lim-i-ta-ble sway;

Or the fulness of the sea When it breaks upon the shore.

Wakes above, be-neath, a-round, All creation's harmonies.

He shall reign, when like a scroll Heaven and earth have passed away.

Hal-le-lu-jah! for the Lord God om-nip-o-tent shall reign.

See Je-ho-vah's ban-ner furled. Sheathed his sword; he speaks, 'tis done,

Then the end; be-neath his rod Man's last en-e-my shall fall:

Hal-le-lu-jah! let the word Ech-o round the earth and main.

And the king-doms of this world Are the king-dom of his Son.

Hal-le-lu-jah! Christ in God, God in Christ, is All in all.

Let ev - 'ry heart ex - ult with joy. And ev - 'ry voice be song!

The gates of brass be - fore him burst, The i - ron fet - ters yield.

And with the trea - sures of his grace To en-rich the hum - ble poor.

And heaven's ex - alt - ed arch - es ring With thy most hon-ored name.

He Will Take Care of You

He will take care of you. Yes; to the end, Nothing can al - ter his love for his own;

Waking or resting, at work,or at play. Je-sus is with you,and watching you still. Darkness to him is the same as the light. He nev-er slumbers, and he nev-er sleeps. Children,be glad that you have such a Friend; He will not leave you one moment a - lone.

His Name Forever Shall Endure

FANNY CROSBY. 10.7.10.07.

W. H. DOANE

I am thine, O Lord, I have heard thy voice, And it told thy love to me;

Con-secrate me now to thy ser-vice,Lord, By the pow'r of grace di - vine;

Oh, the pure de-light of a sin-gle hour Th t be-fore thy throne I spend,

But I long to rise in the arms of faith, And be clos- er drawn to thee. Let my soul look up with a stead-fast hope, And my will be lost in thine. When I kneel in prayer,and with thee,my King, I commune as friend with friend.

Draw me near - er. near-er, blessed Lord, To the cross where thou hast died;

I Am Trusting Thee, Lord Jesus

STEPHANOS. 8.5.8.3.

I am trusting thee, Lord Jesus, Trusting on-ly thee;

I am trusting thee for par-duon; At thy feet I bow;

I am trusting thee to guide me; Thou a-lone canst lead;

I am trusting thee, Lord Jesus; Never let me fall!

Trusting thee for full salvation, Great and free.

For thy grace and ten-der mercy Trusting now.

Every day and hour supplying All my need.

I am trusting thee for ev-er, And for all.

The Sacred Book

I love the sacred Book of God; No other can its place supply;

Dear Book! in thee my eyes discern The image of my present Lord;

His promises in thee supply The knowledge of his love and grace.

It points me to the Lamb of God, And brings my dear Re-deem-er nigh.

From thy in-struc-tive page I learn The joys his king-dom will af-ford.

I'll read with faith's discern-ing eye The blessings of his love to trace.

I Love to Hear the Story

Emily H. Miller. 7.6.7.6. D

G. F. Root

I love to hear the story Which angel voices tell,

I'm glad my blessed Saviour Was once a child like me,

To sing his love and mercy My sweetest song I'll raise;

How once the King of Glory Came down on earth to dwell.

To show how pure and holy His little ones might be;

And tho' I cannot see him, I know he hears my praise;

I am both weak and sinful; But this I surely know,

And if I try to follow His footsteps here be low,

For he has kindly promised That I shall surely know

The Lord came down to save me Because he loved me so.

He never will forget me Because he loves me so.

The joys of restitution, Because he loves me so.

I Would be Like My Saviour

AVALON. 7.6.D

I would be like my Saviour, Who when he was a child

I would be like my Saviour, Who when the time was due

Was ever kind and patient, So gentle and so mild.

De-light-ed to accomplish His Father's gracious plan.

That he should die for sinners, He was so brave and true.

He loved the Holy Scriptures, And studied them with skill,

He toiled and preached and suffered To do the people good,

Like him I would be faithful, That I may always be

For those, he knew, would teach him To do his Father's will.

Though even by his brethren He was mis-understood.

A follower of Jesus, Because he died for me.

It Came Upon the Midnight Clear

CAROL. C.M.D. R. S. WILLIS

It came upon the midnight clear, That glo-rious song of old,

Still through the clov-en skies they come With peaceful wings un-furled;

Yet with the woes of sin and strife The world has suf-fered long;

Nor, lo! the days are hastening on, By pro-phet-bards fore-told,

From angels bending near the earth To touch their harps of gold:

And still their heavenly music floats O'er all the wea-ry world;

Be-neath the angel strain have rolled Two thousand years of wrong:

When with the ev-er-circ-ling years Comes round the age of gold,

Peace on the earth, goodwill to men, From heaven's all-gra-cious King!

Above its sad and low-ly plains They bend on hovering wing,

And man, at war with man, hears not The love song which they bring;

When peace shall over all the earth Its an-cient splendors fling,

The world in sol-emn still-ness lay To hear the angels sing.

And ev-er o'er its Ba-bel sounds The bless-ed angels sing.

Oh, hush the noise, ye men of strife, And hear the angels sing!

And the whole world give back the song Which now the angels sing.

Never Ashamed of Jesus

Adapted from Sullivan

Jesus, and shall it ever be.

A-shamed of Jesus, soon-er far

A-shamed of Jesus, just as soon

For he shall reign from sea to sea,

A mortal man a-shamed of thee?

Let evening blush to own a star.

Let mid-night be a-shamed of noon.

And every creature bow the knee.

A-shamed of thee whom angels praise, Whose glory shines through endless days.

He sheds his beams of light divine, O'er this en-lightened soul of mine.

'Twas mid-night in my soul till he, Bright morning star, bid darkness flee.

His praise shall sound from shore to shore, And sorrow cease for ever-more.

Chorus

Ashamed of Jesus, ashamed of Jesus, I never, I never will be;

For Jesus my Saviour, for Jesus my Saviour, Is not ashamed of me.

Jesus Has Made the Daisies

AURELIA. 7.6.7.6. D

Jesus has made the daisies, And every lovely thing,

Though we are young and simple, In praise we may be bold;

He sees the bird that wing-eth Its way o'er earth and sky;

There fore we will come near him, And sol-emn-ly we'll sing;

He will accept our praises, And hearken while we sing,

The children in the temple, He heard in days of old;

He hears the lark that sing-eth Up in the heaven so high;

No cause to shrink or fear him, We'll make our voic- es ring;

He says (though we are simple, Though ig- no-rant we be):

And if our hearts be hum-ble, He says of you and me;

Yet sees the heart's low breath- ing, And says (well pleased to see):

For in his temple speal- ing, He says of you and me:

"Suf- fer the lit- tle child- ren, And let them come to me."

Jesus, Make Us Loving

FLORA KIRKLAND 6.5.6.5.D. I. H. MEREDITH

Prayerfully

Jesus, make us loving, Gentle, thoughtful, kind; Fill us with thy spirit,

Jesus, we would ever, Live as in thy sight; Thou dost know our longings

Help us to remember Thou art ever near; Teach us loving kindness,

Make us of thy mind. Help us love each other More and more each day;

After what is right. Fill our hearts with kindness As we on-ward go;

Tenderness and cheer. There is much of sorrow, In this world be-low;

CHORUS

Help us follow thee, Lord, In the better way.

Teach us to be loving, Thou hast loved us so. We would learn of thee, Lord,

Jesus, make us loving, Thou hast loved us so.

Help us here be-low, Follow in thy foot-steps, Who hast loved us so.

With acknowledgment to the Tullar-Meredith Co.

Jesus, Holy, Undefiled

FERRIER. 7.7.7.7.

Jesus, holy, undefiled, Listen to a little child;

Make me, Lord, in work or play, Thine more truly every day;

Make me, Lord, obedient, mild As be-comes a little child;

Soon I'll see thee on thy throne With a glory all thine own;

Thou by whom the birds are fed, Give to me my daily bread.

Help me do my little best, Trusting thee to do the rest.

All day long, in every way, Teach me what to do and say.

Oh what happiness there'll be Then to serve thee perfectly.

Let the sweet and joyful story Of our Saviour's won-drous love

Saviour, send the glorious hour; Ev'ry heart be thine a-lone;

Yet, a great petition bring-ing, Saviour, now we come to thee.

Let all know thee, and o-bey thee—Loving, praising, blessing, blest.

Wake on earth a song of glory Like the angels' song a-bove.

Take the king-dom, and the power, And the glory, for thine own.

41 Let Us With a Gladsome Mind

HARTS. 7.7.7.7.

BENJAMIN MILGROVE

Let us, with a glad-some mind, Praise the Lord, for he is kind:

All things living he doth feed, His full hand supplies their need:

Let us then, with glad-some mind, Praise the Lord, for he is kind:

His own Son from up on high, For our sins came down to die;

For his mercies aye en-dure, Ev'er faith-ful, ev'er sure.

For his mercies shall en-dure, Ev'er faith-ful, ev'er sure.

Little Friends of Jesus

LOVING KINDNESS.

I am just a little girl, you see; But I know that the Saviour dear loves me.

I am just a little boy, I know, And he loves me too; for he's told me so.

We are just a group of children small, And we love our Re-deemer one and all.

"My kingdom," said the Master mild, "Is for those who become as a little child."

By the Bible's light are his words I see: "Suffer little children to come un-to me."

We will shape our life by his holy Word, Trusting him for a loving and just reward.

Chorus

I will always love and praise him, With heart and with voice I'll sing;

Chorus 3rd verse

We will always love and praise him, With heart and with voice we'll sing;

And my joy will be in pleasing My Saviour and my King.

And our joy will be in pleasing Our Saviour and our King.

Low in the Grave He Lay

Low in the grave he lay— Je-sus, my Sav-iour! Wait-ing the com-ing day—

Vain - ly they watch his bed—Je - sus, my Sav -iour! Vain - ly they seal the dead—

Death can-not keep his prey—Je-sus, my Saviour! He tore the bars a-way—

Je-sus, my Lord! Up from the grave he a-rose, With a mighty triumph o'er his He arose!

foes; He a-rose a Victor from the dark domain, And he lives for-ev-er with his He a-rose!

As thou hast sought, so let me seek Thy er-ring child-ren lost and lone. Oh, feed me,Lord,that I may feed Thy hung'ring ones with man-na sweet. And wing my words, that they may reach The hid-den depths of man-ya heart. In kindling thought and glow-ing word, Thy love to tell, thy praise to show.

Oh, Happy is the Child Who Hears

ST. PETER. A. M. 8.6.8.6.

A. R. REINAGLE

Oh, happy is the child who hears In instruction's warning voice;

For she has treasures greater far Than east or west unfold;

She guides the young with in no-cence, In pleasure's paths to tread,

According as her labours rise, So her rewards in crease;

And who ce-less-tial Wisdom makes His ear-ly, on-ly choice.

And her re-wards more precious are Than all their stores of gold.

A crown of glory she be-stows Up-on the hoa-ry head.

Her ways are ways of pleas-ant-ness, And all her paths are peace.

50 O Lord of Love

ABENDS. L. M. SIR HERBERT OAKELEY

O Lord of love, O King of peace, Make strife throughout the world to cease;

Ful-fil thy purposes of old, To Abraham and his sons fore-told,

Whom shall we trust, O Lord, but thee? To whom in trouble's sur-ges flee?

Where saints and an-gels dwell a-bove, All hearts are knit in ho-ly love;

The wrath of sin-ful man re-strain, As once thou didst, speak "Peace" a-gain.

Haste to re-move sin's dread-ful stain, Bring peace, O Lord, by thy blest reign.

None ev-er called on thee in vain; Bring peace, Lord, to our hearts a-gain.

Bind all the earth in love's blest chain, Give peace, O Lord, give peace a-gain.

O Thou to Whom in Ancient Time

ERNAN. L.M. 8.8.8.8.

O thou to whom, in ancient time,

Not now on Ziion's height a lone

From every place be low the skies,

O thou to whom, in ancient time,

The lyre of He brew bards was strung,

The favored worshiper may dwell,

The grateful song, the ferent prayer,

The holy propheter's harp was strung,

Whom kings adored in song sublime,

Nor where at sultry noon, thy Son

The in cense of heart, may rise

To thee at last, ev 'ry clime,

And prophetics praised with glowing tongue,

Sat weaery by the pa-triarch's well,

To heaven, and find accep-tance there,

Shall praise a rise and songs be sung.

O Saviour, Precious Saviour

7.6.7.6. Copyright, 1905, by Jessle G. Herr

O Saviour, precious Saviour, Whom yet un-seen we love;

O Bringer of Salvation, Who won-drously hast wrought,

In thee all fulness dwelleth, All grace and power divine;

O, grant the consumation Of this our song, a-bove,

O name of might and favor, All other names a-bove!

Thy-self the rev-e-la-tion Of love be-yond our thought!

The glory that excel-leth, O Son of God, is thine.

In end-less ad-o-ra-tion And ever-last-ing love.

Chorus

We worship thee! we bless thee! To thee a-lone we sing!

Then shall we praise and bless thee, Where perfect praises ring!

We praise thee and confess thee, Our Saviour and our King.

And ever-more confess thee, Our Saviour and our King.

For dark and light are both a like to thee.

In all we do, in work or play,

And all that makes the day so fair.

To grow more loving every day.

The Name of Jesus

Rev. W. C. Martin

E. S. Lorenz

The name of Jesus is so sweet, I love its music to repeat;

I love the name of him whose heart Knows all my griefs and bears a part;

That name I fondly love to hear, It never fails my heart to cheer,

No word of man can ever tell How sweet the name I love so well;

It make my joys full and complete, The precious name of

Who bids all anxious fears depart. I love the name of

Its music dries the falling tear, Ex-alt the name of

Oh, let its praises ever swell, Oh, praise the name of

The precious name

Chorus.

Jesus, let all saints proclaim Its worthy praise forever.

The Wise May Bring Their Learning

The wise may bring their learning, The rich may bring their wealth;

We'll bring him hearts that love him, We'll bring him thankful praise,

We'll bring the little duties We have to do each day;

And some may bring their greatness, And some bring strength and health.

And young souls meekly striving To walk in holy ways.

We'll try our best to please him, At home, at school, at play.

We, too, would bring our treasures To offer to the King;

And these shall be the treasures We offer to the King;

And better are these treasures To offer to our King

We have no wealth or learning. What shall we children bring?

And these are gifts that even The poorest child may bring.

Than richest gifts without them, Yet these a child may bring.

Je-sus, when on earth so-journing, Loved them with a wondrous love;

Oh, they can - not sing too ear-ly. Fa-thers, stand not in their way.

May they not, a - mid earth's mil-lions Dai-ly seek to praise his name?

Why un-less with hearts up-lift-ed Je-sus' love they sing with cheer?

And will he to heav'n re-turn-ing Faithless to his bless-ing prove?

Birds will sing while day is break-ing; Tell me, then, why should not they?

While Shepherds Watched

BETHLEHEM. 8.6.8.6. NAHUM TATE

ARR. BY ARTHUR SULLIVAN

While shepherds watched their flocks by night, All seated on the ground,

“To you, in David’s town, this day Is born, of David’s line,

Thus spake the seraph and forthwith Appeared a shining-throng

The angel of the Lord came down, And glory shone a-round.

The Saviour, who is Christ the Lord; And this shall be the sign:

Of angels praising God, and thus Ad-dressed their joyful song:

“Fear not!” said he; for mighty dread Had seized their troub-led mind:

The heavenly Babe you there shall find To human view displayed,

“All glory be to God on high, And to the earth be peace;

“Glad tidings of great joy I bring To you and all man-kind.”

All meanly wrapped in swaddling bands, And in a manager laid!”

Good-will hence-forth from heaven to men Begin and never cease!”

Zion's King Shall Reign Victorious

Zion's King shall reign victorious, All the earth shall own his sway;

Then shall Israel, long dispersed, Mourning seek the Lord their God,

He will make his kingdom glorious, He shall reign in endless day.

Look on him whom once they pierced, Own and kiss the chastening rod.

Nations now from Gods trang-ed, Then shall see a glorious light;

Mighty King, thine arm revealing, Now thy glorious cause maintain,

Night to day shall then be changed, Heav'n shall triumph in the sight.

Bring the nations help and healing, Make them subject to thy reign.
