TESTIMONY IN SONG

[1watchman]

WE'RE NOT OF THE WORLD
We're not of the world which fadeth away,
We're not of the night, but children of day;
The chains that once bound us, by Jesus are riven,
We're strangers on earth, and our home is in Heaven.

Our path is most rugged, and dangerous too,
A wide trackless waste our journey lies through;
But the pillar of cloud that shows us our way,
Is our sure light by night, and shades us by day.

Our Shepherd is still our Guardian and Guide,
Before us He goes to help and provide:
The springs that refresh us from Heaven were given,
Our bread is the Manna that came down from Heaven.

'Mid mightiest foes ---most feeble are we,
Yet, trembling before our great Leader they flee;
The Lord is our Banner, the battle is His,
The weakest of saints more than conqueror is.

And soon shall we enter our own promised land,
Around His bright throne in glory shall stand;
Our song then forever and ever shall be,
"All glory and blessing, Lord Jesus, to Thee!"

[iEye]

When the shadows of this life have gone
I'll fly away
Like a bird from these prison walls I'll fly
I'll fly away
I'll fly away, oh glory
I'll fly away in the morning
When I die, Hallelujah by and by
I'll fly away
Oh, how glad and happy when we meet
I'll fly away
No more cold iron shackles on my feet
I'll fly away

 

[1watchman]

Master, we would no longer be
At home in that which hated Thee,
But patient in Thy footsteps go,
Thy sorrow as Thy joy to know;
We would ---and O confirm the power ---
With meekness meet the darkest hour,
By shame, contempt, however tried,
For Thou wast scorned and crucified.​

We welcome still Thy faithful Word ---
"The cross shall meet its sure reward";
For soon must pass the "little while",
Then joy shall crown Thy servants' toil,
And we shall hear Thee, Savior, say:
"Arise, my love, and come away;
Look up, for thou shalt weep no more,
But rest on heaven's eternal shore."
