COME FOLLOW ME

COME FOLLOW ME

Come, Follow Me

1.

“Come, follow me,” the Savior said.

Then let us in his footsteps tread,

For thus alone can we be one

With God’s own loved, begotten Son.


2.

“Come, follow me,” a simple phrase,

Yet truth’s sublime, effulgent rays

Are in these simple words combined

To urge, inspire the human mind.


3.

Is it enough alone to know

That we must follow him below,

While trav’ling thru this vale of tears?

No, this extends to holier spheres.


4.

Not only shall we emulate

His course while in this earthly state,

But when we’re freed from present cares,

If with our Lord we would be heirs.


5.

We must the onward path pursue

As wider fields expand to view,

And follow him unceasingly,

Whate’er our lot or sphere may be.


6.

For thrones, dominions, kingdoms, pow’rs,

And glory great and bliss are ours,

If we, throughout eternity,

Obey his words, “Come, follow me.

COME SING PRAISES

COME SING PRAISES

Come, sing praises to the Lord

1.

Come, sing praises to the Lord above,
rock of our salvation, Lord of love;
with delight into God's presence move,
for the Lord our God is king!

Refrain 

   God is king above the mountains high,
   the ocean deep, the land and sky;
   mighty continents and islands lie
   within the hollow of God's hand.

2.

 Come to worship him and bow the knee,
praise our shepherd with humility;
humble creatures in his hand are we
sing the praise of God the king!
   God is king 

Refrain 

   God is king above the mountains high,
   the ocean deep, the land and sky;
   mighty continents and islands lie

you with stubborn hearts who will not bow;
learn what happened long ago and how
God can show you who is king!

   the ocean deep, the land and sky;
   mighty continents and islands lie

made them wander till they would obey,
exiled all of them until the day
they would honour him as king!
   God is king

Refrain 

   God is king above the mountains high,
   the ocean deep, the land and sky;
   mighty continents and islands lie
   within the hollow of God's hand.

COME THOU FOUNT

COME THOU FOUNT
Come, thou Fount of every blessing


1.

 Come, thou Fount of every blessing,
tune my heart to sing thy grace;
streams of mercy, never ceasing,
call for songs of loudest praise.
Teach me some melodious sonnet,
sung by flaming tongues above.
Praise the mount I'm fixed upon it
mount of God's redeeming love.

2.

Here I find my greatest treasure;
hither by thy help I've come;
and I hope, by thy good pleasure,
safely to arrive at home.
Jesus sought me when a stranger,
wandering from the fold of God;
he, to rescue me from danger,
bought me with his precious blood.

3.

Oh, to grace how great a debtor
daily I'm constrained to be!
Let thy goodness, like a fetter,
bind my wandering heart to thee:
prone to wander, Lord, I feel it,
prone to leave the God I love;
here's my heart, O take and seal it;
seal it for thy courts above.

you who are weary come home;

pleading for you and for me? 
Why should we linger and heed not his mercies, 
mercies for you and for me?

Come home, come home; 
you who are weary come home; 
earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling,

COME OVER

COME OVER

Come Over 

1.

 There’s a land of peace and plenty,
And its gates are open wide,
And the pure in heart and holy
In its shelter may abide;
It is not through gates of glory
That a soul must enter in;
But all who would find entrance there
Must leave the ways of sin.

Refrain:
Come over, come over,
To the land of corn and wine;
There is nothing can compare
With the many holy pleasures there;
Come over, come over,
Leave the desert plain below
And come away, away,
Come over.

2.

 There is bread of heaven growing,
In its fair and fertile fields,
And the wine of love its vineyard
To the thirsting mortal yields;
There are mountain heights of glory
That await the trav’ler’s rod,
And blest retreats where empty souls
Draw nearer unto God. 

Refrain:
Come over, come over,
To the land of corn and wine;
There is nothing can compare
With the many holy pleasures there;
Come over, come over,
Leave the desert plain below
And come away, away,
Come over.

3.

 Who would stay without its borders,
In the desert dark and drear,
When the luscious grapes of Eschol
Are so very, very near?
Enter in then with rejoicing,
For the Lord is on your side,
And in his glorious presence
Evermore you shall abide. 

Refrain:
Come over, come over,
To the land of corn and wine;
There is nothing can compare
With the many holy pleasures there;
Come over, come over,
Leave the desert plain below
And come away, away,
Come over.

From the Savior you have heard;

Cease of fitness to be thinking;
Do not longer try to feel;

That will give the Spirit’s seal. 

Refrain:
Come believing! come believing!
Come to Jesus! look and live!
Come believing! come believing!
Come to Jesus! look and live!

5.

 Let your will to God be given,
Trust in Christ’s atoning blood;

Rest on His unchanging Word.

Come to Jesus! look and live!
Come believing! come believing!
Come to Jesus! look and live!
