Come weary saints, though tired and weak
Hide away in the love of Jesus
Your strength will return by His quiet streams
Hide away in the love of Jesus
Come wand’ring souls, and find your home
Hide away in the love of Jesus
He offers the rest that you yearn to know
Hide away in the love of Jesus (refrain)
Refrain
Hear Him calling your name
See the depths of His love
In the wounds of His grace
Hear Him calling your name
Hide away
Come guilty ones, weighed down with sin
Hide away in the love of Jesus
The freedom you long for is found in Him
Hide away in the love of Jesus (refrain)
Come hopeless hearts, do not despair
Hide away in the love of Jesus
For ten thousand joys await you there
Hide away in the love of Jesus (refrain)

If you but trust in God to guide you
and place your confidence in him,
you'll find him always there beside you
to give you hope and strength within;
for those who trust God's changeless love
build on the rock that will not move.
Only be still and wait his pleasure
in cheerful hope with heart content.
He fills your needs to fullest measure
with what discerning love has sent;
doubt not our inmost wants are known
to him who chose us for his own.
Sing, pray, and keep his ways unswerving,
offer your service faithfully,
and trust his word; though undeserving,
you'll find his promise true to be.
God never will forsake in need
the soul that trusts in him indeed.

I heard the voice of Jesus say,
“Come unto Me and rest;
lay down, thou weary one, lay down
thy head upon My breast!”
I came to Jesus as I was,
so weary worn and sad;
I found in Him a resting-place,
and He has made me glad.
I heard the voice of Jesus say,
“Behold, I freely give
the living water; thirsty one,
stoop down, and drink, and live!”
I came to Jesus, and I drank
of that life-giving stream;
my thirst was quenched, my soul revived,
and now I live in Him.
I heard the voice of Jesus say,
“I am this dark world’s Light;
look unto Me, thy morn shall rise,
and all thy day be bright!”
I looked to Jesus, and I found
in Him my Star, my Sun;
and in that Light of life I’ll walk,
till all my journey's done.

The Word of God is strong and true
Mighty and faithful to come through
His righteousness and justice flow
With steadfast love to the earth below
From heaven on high the Lord looks down
All people of earth underneath his crown
He seeks to make his blessings known
Through those that bow to his heavenly throne (refrain)
Refrain
Our soul waits for the Lord
He is our help and our shield
Our hearts rejoice in the Lord
He is our hope and our seal
I sought the Lord and he answered me
He delivered and he set me fee
From the darkness of my fears
His healing rays have dried my tears
The poor cry out in troubled times
And the lord hears, the Lord is kind
He never leaves his children distressed
He longs to give them hope and rest (refrain)

From ev'ry stormy wind that blows,
from ev'ry swelling tide of woes,
there is a calm, a sure retreat;
'tis found beneath the mercy seat.
There is a place where Jesus sheds
the oil of gladness on our heads,
a place than all besides more sweet;
it is the blood-stained mercy seat.
Ah, whither could we flee for aid,
when tempted, desolate, dismayed,
or how the hosts of hell defeat,
had suff'ring saints no mercy seat?
There, there on eagle wings we soar,
and time and sense seem all no more,
and heav'n comes down our souls to greet,
and glory crowns the mercy seat.

I know that my redeemer lives, glory hallelujah!
What comfort this sweet sentence gives, glory hallelujah!
He lives, He lives who once was dead, glory hallelujah!
He lives my everlasting Head, glory hallelujah! (Refrain)
Refrain
Shout on pray on we’re gaining ground, glory hallelujah!
The dead’s alive and the lost is found, glory hallelujah!
He lives to bless me with his love, glory hallelujah!
He lives to plead for me above, glory hallelujah! (Refrain)
He lives all glory to his name, glory hallelujah!
He lives my Jesus still the same, glory hallelujah! (Refrain)

With all of my heart my thanks I’ll bring,
Before the gods Your praise I will sing
I will bow down in your holy place
To sing of your steadfast love and grace (Refrain)
Refrain
Though the Lord is high and Holy
He regards the meek and lowly
Shining, guiding, is His name and Word
Give thanks to the Lord
All kings of the earth shall praise bring forth
When they have heard your faithful words
The Lord on High they will celebrate
The Glory of the Lord is Great (Refrain)
Thou I walk through troubled times,
You will comfort and you will revive
Your mercy, O Lord forever stands
You never leave the work of your hands (Refrain)
Bending down from heaven to earth
You sent your son to give new birth
Jesus the living Word and the light
Dispel the darkness and give us new life (Refrain)
