I SING the NAMES of JESUS matchless names	B
Highest and holiest Earth or Heaven claims	B
By which alone we may approach to Him	C
Before whose faintest ray the sun grows dim	C
And all the brightest glory of the skies	D
Like twilight's feeble glimmer fades and dies	D
	-
MESSIAH CHRIST God's high Anointed One	A
The Eternal Father's well beloved Son	A
On whom the mystic oil of Heaven was shed	E
What time descending on His sacred head	E
The Consecrating Spirit from above	F
Set Him apart to holiest deeds of love	F
Anointed Prophet from that favored hour	G
To teach His Father's will to wield His power	G
Anointed Priest for His own people's sake	H
Himself a sacrifice for sin to make	H
Anointed King unrivalled and alone	I
To reign on universal Empire's throne	I
To whose high majesty and regal worth	J
All crowns shall bend in Heaven and in Earth	J
All Powers to Him their cheerful tribute bring	K
And all above below confess Him King	K
	-
OUR PASSOVER 'Twas night on Egypt's coast	L
And all were hushed to rest save Israel's host	L
They silent wakeful harnessed as for flight	M
Each in his own hushed dwelling watched that night	M
Through the slow fateful hours of deepening gloom	N
The coming of God's Messenger of doom	N
Whose piercing eye through the deep awful shade	O
By Judgment's stern uplifted pinions made	O
The blood mark on each dwelling should descry	G
Of the slain lamb and seeing pass it by	P
	-
Thus thus O Soul in that more awful hour	G
When the last Judgment's darker shadows lower	G
And swift and stern God's messengers go forth	Q
To reap the harvest of this fated Earth	J
If then on thee is found no crimson stain	R
Of God's own Lamb on bloody Calvary slain	R
If thou art resting not beneath the blood	S
Of that one sacrifice ordained of God	T
Where wilt thou fly where hide thyself away	U
From the dread reck'ning of the Judgment day	U
If resting 'neath the blood for sinners spilt	V
Look up the judge Himself has borne thy guilt'	V
Justice and Judgement claim thy life in vain	R
Since Christ thy Passover Himself is slain	R
	-
IMMANUEL God with us With us O Soul	W
Of this brief utt'rance canst thou grasp the whole	W
Nay comprehend one attribute of God	V
The Maker Sovereign Him who at a nod	V
Can hurl all worlds to wreck and with a breath	X
Can wake a Universe from night and death	X
And clothe in Beauty's robes of richest bloom	N
Ten thousand worlds snatched from chaotic gloom	N
	-
If not couldst grasp the thought that such as He	Y
Clothed in frail human flesh a man should be	Y
Of us and with us veiled his dazzling ray	U
Of awful Godhead and at home in clay	U
A living dying man Heaven Earth and Hell	Z
The mystery fail to solve Immanuel	A2
And yet Faith lays her hand in thine	B2
And whispers low Immanuel is mine	B2
	-
But He has other Names it may be less	C2
Bewildering in their deep mysteriousness	C2
O'er which we oftener linger which we bear	G
Oftener to Heaven upon the breath of prayer	G
Sweet hallowed home names dearer it may be	Y
Because first learned beside a mother's knee	Y
The tender names of Father Brother Friend	V
Names that with all sweet recollections blend	V
Names full of high significancy given	A
To Him who intercedes for us in Heaven	A
	-
FATHER dear name to thought and feeling dear	G
Thrice precious ever in the Christian's ear	G
An earthly father trials may estrange	D2
THE EVERLASTING FATHER knows no change	D2
With tireless patience and unslumbering care	G
Watching wherever His earth children are	G
Nor failing e'en the faintest cry to hear	G
By His weak children breathed into His ear	G
	-
BROTHER our Eldest FIRST BORN FROM THE DEAD	V
Of all the glorified the Living HEAD	V
Yet condescending to the youngest child	V
With tenderest looks and accents sweet and mild	V
Who feels a wrong done to the feeblest one	A
Keenly as though unto Himself 'twere done	A
Who sees no kindness to the humblest shown	I
But 'lisas though 'twere to Himself alone	I
And who will judge the wrong the kindness bless	C2
With all a brother's truth and tenderness	C2
Nay more an earthly brother faints and dies	C2
Or faithless oft forgets affections ties	C2
His love enduring as the eternal throne	I
No change decay or loss have ever known	I
	-
FRIEND there is music in that simple word	V
Which through all time the human heart has stirred	V
Earth cannot be a desert joy bereft	V
To any heart if but one friend is left	V
Yet friends oft change and friendship proves a name	E2
And death at last must ever quench its flame	E2
	-
Yet He's a friend than brother closer far	G
One whose affection changes cannot mar	G
One tempted tried and grieved as you have been	F2
Long a lone wanderer through this world of sin	F2
Himself without a friend whose steadfast heart	V
In His deep cup of anguish shared a part	V
	-
Friendless He knelt in dark Gethsamane	F2
Unfriended hung on Calvary's bloody tree	Y
And all for what His matchless love to prove	G2
For man His enemy O matchless love	F
O wondrous Friendship O unchanging Friend	V
Who loving thus should love unto the end	V
That evermore the ransomed soul might rest	V
Its weary head upon His faithful breast	V
And feel 'mid all vicissitudes and pains	C2
That one true constant loving friend remains	C2
	-
Friend Brother Father Could we ask for more	G
Yet these dear names exhaust not half the store	G
REDEEMER SAVIOUR Lo a captive bound	V
With chains and fetters wrapped in night profound	V
In helpless hopeless bondage dark I lay	U
When He in pitying mercy passed that way	U
He saw me hugging close my heavy chain	F2
Loving my bonds despite their bitter pain	F2
Deaf to the music of the songs of Heaven	F2
Blind to the light His pitying love had given	F2
Sick unto death yet boastful of my health	H2
Clothed in foul rags yet vaunting of my wealth	H2
	-
Was that a thing to love or pity Nay	U
Yet He did stoop on me His hand to lay	U
Touched my dark eyes and lo the light was mine	F2
Ope'd my dull ears to harmony divine	F2
Showed me my rags my wretchedness my grief	I2
My deadly sickness and then gave relief	I2
Paid my full ransom price warmed cleansed and red	V
And clothed in spotless raiment me He led	V
Forth from the dungeon of impurity	Y
To the pure air of heaven made whole set free	Y
Henceforth my all in life or death is thine	F2
And thou Redeemer Saviour thou art mine	F2
	-
Nor yet with these the exultant song should cease	C2
for this Redeemer is the PRINCE OF PEACE	C2
To be redeemed by earthly Prince would be	Y
High honor lasting joy to him set free	Y
Yet earthly princes emulous of fame	E2
Oft win their way to power by sword and flame	E2
And leave the path by which they reach a throne	F2
Red with slain victims in their rage o'erthrown	F2
And rudely crushed beneath the maddened tread	V
Of fiery Conquest reckless of his dead	V
	-
But oh how diff'rent is the Prince of Peace	C2
He comes to bid the rage of conflict cease	C2
He lifts His hand above the stormy sea	Y
Of human passion surging wrathfully	U
And lo its maddened waves in peace subside	V
Hushed is the tempest roar of power and pride	V
The desert and the wilderness rejoice	C2
And life awakes at His creative voice	C2
Peace spans with rainbow arch the weeping sky	P
And angels smile from their pure homes on high	P
	-
And yet our Prince is more He is a PRIEST	V
In whom signs symbols offrings all have ceased	V
For more than Priest a SACRIFICE He stands	C2
With streaming side and bloody feet and hands	C2
Bearing to Heaven not blood of bullocks slain	F2
Nor victims' ashes sprinkling the unclean	F2
But His own blood an offering to Heaven	F2
That God might thus be just and man forgiven	F2
Himself at once Prince Priest and Sacrifice	C2
Man mediatorial Lord of Earth and Skies	C2
Angels in vain the myst'ry would explore	G
And men and angels mutually adore	G
Yet as though these were not enough we find	V
Him stooping still to meet the human mind	V
Under still other names His boundless grace	C2
And love to symbolize for Adams race	C2
	-
See yonder flock upon the mountain bare	G
Is there no hand to guide or tend them there	G
When the wild beast comes prowling from his den	F2
Who will protect the helpless creatures then	F2
Who when the pastures fail and springs are dry	P
Will lead them forth where greener pastures lie	P
	-
What pitiest thou the helpless flock so He	Y
Thy watchful friend in pity thinks of thee	Y
I the GOOD SHEPHERD am and ye the sheep	J2
With tenderest care my little flock I keep	J2
No ravenous beast shall prey upon my own	F2
They know my voice and follow me alone	F2
	-
Is yonder sun a welcome sight to thee	Y
As up the east he rides exultingly	P
Do the hills wake to beauty as he comes	C2
And valleys blush with countless opening blooms	C2
Do the streams sparkle and the woodlands ring	K
With the sweet lays the happy warblers sing	K
He is a SUN and where His radiance streams	C2
Beauty and gladness waken in His beams	C2
The soul expands to perfect leaf and flower	G
And ripening fruitage waits the vintage hour	G
Songs of rejoicing float upon the air	G
And 'neath His rays 'tis Summer everywhere	G
	-
Is yonder vine a pleasant goodly thing	K
As upward still its laden branches spring	K
As its ripe clusters woo the longing sight	V
To linger still with ever new delight	V
I'm the TRUE VINE saith Christ the branches ye	Y
The living Vine abide ye still in me	Y
Thus shall my life to every branch be given	F2
Thus shall each branch bring forth the fruit of Heaven	F2
	-
See yonder traveller in a desert land	V
Toils day by day o'er tracks of burning sand	V
A lurid sky above beneath around	V
The dreary desert spreads its wastes profound	V
With blistered feet and aching blood shot eye	P
Long dimly strained some fountain to descry	G
Onward he toils while hope as days depart	V
Grows feebler fainter at his weary heart	V
	-
On the horizon's verge he sees at length	K2
A shadowy line and lo his failing strength	K2
In a full tide returns His weary feet	V
Speed gladly on by courage rendered fleet	V
He gains the fount he drinks and toil and care	G
And dread and danger all forgotten are	G
	-
So to life's weary pilgrim Christ is made	V
In the drear desert a refreshing SHADE	V
A FOUNT OF LIVING WATER never dry	G
To all the thirsty yielding full supply	G
A WELL OF WATER ever springing up	L2
To Life Eternal fount of joy and hope	M2
	-
Student of nature dost thou love at morn	F2
To tread where earliest flowers the wild adorn	F2
To view the lowly blossoms of the field	V
In shady nooks half hidden half revealed	V
The wild rose scenting all the dewy air	G
The graceful lily bending meekly there	G
	-
Then think as with admiring eye you trace	C2
Those meek sweet dwellers in each lonely place	C2
That He of whom I sing well knowing how	N2
The heart to Natures lovely gifts would bow	N2
Would lead your thoughts with gentle winning force	C2
Up from created Beauty to its Source	C2
	-
He is the ROSE OF SHARON fairest flower	G
That perfume breathed through Eden's hallowed bower	G
The LILY OF THE VALLEY pensive fair	G
With heavenly sweetness flooding all the air	G
Thrice sacred symbol breathing evermore	G
Of Him whom angels cease not to adore	G
	-
Thou man of Science who with practised eye	G
And glance untiring sweep'st the starry sky	G
Speeding in thought along those trackless ways	C2
Where planets burn and constellations blaze	C2
Leaving uncounted worlds behind thee far	G
Listen I am THE BRIGHT AND MORNING STAR	G
He says and does not thought more gladly stray	G
Where the meek herald of the rising day	G
Sits like a peaceful vestal bearing high	G
Her radiant urn on the soft eastern sky	G
Thence rising seek the Morning Star of Heaven	F2
Who to Night's myriad suns their light has given	F2
And bowing low Light's sacred Fount before	G
In wondering reverential awe adore	G
	-
Soul ever groping through the mists of time	O2
To find the path which leads to the sublime	O2
Still heights of God weak are thy steps and slow	P
Yet there's a path no fowl of heaven doth know	P
No lion's whelp that secret way hath found	V
No eagle marked it from the heights profound	V
No human art unhelped discerned the road	V
That leadeth up to happiness and God	V
	-
Yet anxious Soul dost thou not hear Him say	G
Cease thy vain groping lo I am the WAY	G
The way to God the one unerring Way	G
All other paths will lend thy feet astray	G
I only WISDOM am the path that lies	C2
'Twixt man and God the Sovereign of the skies	C2
	-
Seeker of Truth long hast thou striven to find	V
This only boon that satisfies the mind	V
Through Nature's stores the treasure hast thou sought	V
Hast traversed all the boundless fields of thought	V
Questioned the lonely night the laughing day	G
The ocean depths the founts that ceaseless play	G
Old hoary mountains cliffs and caverns lone	F2
Earth's secret depths mysterious unknown	F2
Asked of the past the present future striven	F2
To pierce the mysteries unrevealed of Heaven	F2
Yet weary and unsatisfied remained	V
Longing for Truth still far off unattained	V
That truth which satisfies the anxious quest	V
And with the attainment bringeth perfect rest	V
	-
I am the TRUTH saith Christ O wearied one	F2
Tired of thy fruitless search beneath the sun	F2
Accept this boon so sacred so divine	F2
In simple trust and all thou seek'st is thine	F2
Truth that makes free that falsehood cannot dim	C
In full completeness all made thine in Him	C
	-
Lover of life say what wouldst thou not give	P2
To know that thou eternally shouldst live	Q2
Is Death a thing from which to shrink with dread	V
The dreary valley dost thou fear to tread	V
What wouldst thou give to pierce the unknown Dark	R2
That lies before thy feebly tossing bark	R2
And know what anchor in that unknown sea	Y
Or wreck disastrous there awaiteth thee	Y
	-
Dost trembling cling to this frail thread of life	S2
Through pain and doubt and weariness and strife	S2
Rather than trust thy dimly groping hand	V
Its hold to fasten on that unknown land	V
Whence none return its secrets to declare	G
And tell what bliss or rum waits thee there	G
	-
Well mayst thou cling to Earth unless thy ear	G
Opened has been the voice from Heaven to hear	G
To hear the Christ amid Earth's wearying strife	S2
Its toil and tumult say I am the LIFE	S2
I am THE LIFE oh then undo thy clasp	T2
On this frail being and with deathless grasp	T2
Lay hold on Him in whom by whom alone	F2
The bliss of Life Eternal may be known	F2
Failing in this how deep must be the gloom	N
The unpierced darkness of the lonely tomb	N
In this succeeding what exultant day	V
O'er all thy future pours its blissful ray	V
	-
Is light a blessing He's the soul's clear LIGHT	V
The blessed DAY STAR scattering the night	V
Is peace the sweetest boon to mortals given	F2
Jesus is PEACE made manifest from Heaven	F2
Is love the bond of life beneath above	F
In Earth or Heaven His highest name is LOVE	F
	-
ROCK REFUGE REST a SHIELD in conflict dire	G
Around His saints A WALL OF LIVING FIRE	G
STRENGTH HOPE REDEMPTION RIGHTEOUSNESS divine	F2
FAIREST AMONG TEN THOUSAND fair that shine	F2
On hills Of light by high archangels trod	V
Judah's stern LION spotless LAMB OF GOD	V
THE SON OF GOD THE SON OF MAN THE BREAD	V
OF LIFE with which each heir of Heaven is fed	V
THE RESURRECTION from the dust of death	X
AUTHOR AND FINISHER of all our Faith	U2
God's manifested thought Eternal WORD	V
By whom creation's eldest depths were stirred	V
ALPHA OMEGA FIRST LAST JEHOVAH MAN	F2
So ends my song just where my song began	F2
JESUS He saves His people from their sins	C2
Thus end all praises where all praise begins	C2
