Stepping in the Light

Lyrics: Eliza E. Hewitt
Music: William J. Kirkpatrick

Trying to walk in the steps of the Savior,
Trying to follow our Savior and King;
Shaping our lives by His blessed example,
Happy, how happy, the songs that we bring.

Pressing more closely to Him who is leading,
When we are tempted to turn from the way;
Trusting the arm that is strong to defend us,
Happy, how happy, our praises each day.

Walking in footsteps of gentle forbearance,
Footsteps of faithfulness, mercy and love;
Looking to Him for the grace freely promised,
Happy, how happy, our journey above!

Trying to walk in the steps of the Savior,
Upward, still upward we'll follow our Guide;
When we shall see Him, "the King in His beauty,"
Happy, how happy, our place at His side!

Chorus:
How beautiful to walk in the steps of the Savior,
Stepping in the light, Stepping in the light,
How beautiful to walk in the steps of the Savior,
Led in paths of light!

More about Jesus

Lyrics: Eliza E. Hewitt
Music: John R. Sweney

More about Jesus would I know,
More of His grace to others show;
More of His saving fullness see,
More of His love who died for me.

More about Jesus let me learn,
More of His holy will discern;
Spirit of God, my teacher be,
Showing the things of Christ to me.

More about Jesus in His Word,
Holding communion with my Lord;
Hearing His voice in ev'ry line,
Making each faithful saying mine.

More about Jesus on His throne,
Riches in glory all His own;
More of His Kingdom's sure increase;
More of His coming, Prince of Peace.

Chorus:
More, more about Jesus,
More, more about Jesus;
More of His saving fullness see,
More of His love who died for me.

Hero of Calvary

Lyrics: Claude Thomas Lynne
Music: Claude Thomas Lynne

Why should I not love Jesus?
Jesus who died for me!
Why should I not adore Him,
Hero of Calvary.

Why should I not love Jesus?
Lost and alone was I;
In His great love He saved me,
Lifted my soul on high.

Why should I not love Jesus?
One day He'll come for me;
Oh, I shall share His glory
For all eternity.

Chorus:
Seated in glory, I see Him now,
Highest arch angels before Him bow;
Earthward He came,
Bearing my shame,
Ever I'll love His Name.

The Great Physician

Lyrics: William Hunter
Music: J. H. Stockton (arranged)

The great Physician now is near,
They sympathizing Jesus;
He speaks the dropping heart to cheer:
O hear the voice of Jesus.

All glory to the dying Lamb!
I now believe in Jesus;
I love the blessed Savior's name,
I love the name of Jesus.

His name dispels my guilt and fear,
No other name but Jesus;
O how my soul delights to hear
The charming name of Jesus.

And when to that bright world above,
We rise to see our Jesus,
We'll sing around the throne of love
His name, the name of Jesus.

Chorus:
Sweetest note in seraph song,
Sweetest name on mortal tongue,
Sweetest carol ever sung,
Jesus, blessed Jesus.

Jesus Is Mine

Lyrics: Mrs. Catharine J. Bonar
Music: T. E. Perkins

Fade, fade, each earthly joy, Jesus is mine!
Break ev'ry tender tie, Jesus is mine!
Dark is the wilderness,
Earth has no resting-place,
Jesus alone can bless, Jesus is mine!

Tempt not my soul away, Jesus is mine!
Here would I ever stay, Jesus is mine!
Perishing things of clay,
Born but for one brief day,
Pass from my heart away, Jesus is mine!

Farewell, mortality, Jesus is mine!
Welcome, eternity, Jesus is mine!
Welcome, oh, loved and blest,
Welcome sweet scenes of rest,
Welcome, my Savior's breast, Jesus is mine!
