I'll Live for Him

~Ralph E. Hudson~

My life, my love I give to Thee,
Thou Lamb of God Who died for me;
O may I ever faithful be,
My Saviour and my God!

I now believe Thou dost receive,
For Thou hast died that I might live;
And now henceforth I trust in Thee,
My Saviour and my God!

O Thou Who died on Calvary,
To save my soul and make me free,
I'll consecrate my life to Thee,
My Saviour and my God!

I'll live for Him Who died for me,
How happy then my life shall be!
I'll live for Him Who died for me,
My Saviour and my God!

Break Thou the Bread of Life

~Mary A. Lathbury~

Break Thou the bread of life, dear Lord, to me,
As Thou didst break the loaves beside the sea;
Beyond the sacred page I seek Thee, Lord;
My spirit pants for Thee, O living Word!

Bless Thou the truth, dear Lord, to me, to me,
As Thou didst bless the bread by Galilee;
Then shall all bondage cease, all fetters fall;
And I shall find my peace, my all in all.

Thou art the bread of life, O Lord to me,
Thy holy Word the truth that saveth me;
Give me to eqat and live with Thee above;
Teach me to love Thy truth, for Thou art love.

O send Thy Spirit, Lord, now unto me,
That He may touch my eyes, and make me see;
Show me the truth concealed within Thy Word,
And in Thy Book revealed I see the Lord.

I Met God in the Morning

~Ralph Cushman~

I met God in the morning
when the day was at its best,
And His presence came like sunrise,
Like a glory in my breast.

All day long the Presence lingered,
All day long He stayed with me,
And we sailed in perfect calmness
O'er a very troubled sea.

Other ships were blown and battered,
Other ships were sore distressed,
But the winds that seemed to drive them,
Brought to me a peace and rest.

Then I thought of other mornings,
With a keen remorse of mind,
When I too had loosed the moorings,
With the presence left behind.

So, I think I know the secret,
Learned from many a troubled way:
You must seek Him in the morning
If you want Him through the day!

Am I a Soldier of the Cross

~Isaac Watts~

Am I a soldier of the Cross,
A foll'wer of the Lamb,
And shall I fear to own
His cause or blush to speak His name?

Must I be carried to the skies
On flow'ry beds of ease
While others fought to win the prize
And sailed thro' bloody seas?

Are there no foes for me to face?
Must I not stem the flood?
Is this vile world a friend to grace
To help me on to God?

Sure I must fight if I would reign;
Increase my courage, Lord!
I'll bear the toil, endure the pain,
Supported by Thy Word.

Yield Not to Temptation

~Horatio Richmend Palmer~

Yield not to temptation,for yielding is sin;
Each vict'ry will help yousome other to win;
Fight manfully onward, dark passions subdue;
Look ever to Jesus, He'll carry you through.

Shun evil companions, bad language disdain,
God's name hold in rev'rence, nor take it in vain;
Be thoughtful and earnest, kindhearted and true;
Look ever to Jesus, He'll carry you through.

To him that o'ercometh, God giveth a crown,
Through faith we will conquer,
though often cast down;
He who is our Saviour, our strength will renew;
Look ever to Jesus, He'll carry you through.

Ask the Saviour to help you,
Comfort, strengthen, and keep you;
He is willing to aid you,
He will carry you through.
