Our King
O Saviour, precious Saviour, Whom yet unseen we love, O Name of might and favour, All other names above! We worship Thee, we bless Thee To Thee alone we sing We praise Thee, and confess Thee Our holy Lord and King
In Thee all fulness dwelleth, All grace and power divine, The glory that excelleth, O Son of God, is Thine! We worship Thee, we bless Thee To Thee alone we sing, We praise Thee and confess Thee, Our glorious Lord and King

Led in Peace.
"_Ye shall go out with joy and be led forth with peace._" Is. IV. 12.
With joy thou shalt be girded, With peace thou shalt be led; And everlasting glory shall rest upon thy head; The hills break forth in singing; the shadows flee away: This is thy King and Saviour-- He will not say thee "Nay!"

His Presence
Oh Saviour if Thy presence here Can such bright joy impart What must it be in that sweet home Where Thou its glory art Here through faith's vision small and fine One glimpse of Thy dear face Kindles a glow in lonely hearts, No cloud can e'er efface.

Springs of Peace
Springs of peace, when conflict heightens Thine uplifted eye shall see,
Peace that strengthens calms, and brightens, Peace itself a victory.
Springs of comfort strangely springing Through the bitter wells of woe, Founts of hidden gladness, bringing Joy that earth can ne'er bestow

The Welcome to the King
Midst the darkness, storm, and sorrow One bright gleam I see, Well I know the blessed morrow Christ will come for me
Midst the light and peace and glory Of the Fathers home, Christ for me is watching, waiting-- Waiting till I come
Long the blessed Guide has led me By the desert road; Now I see the golden towers-- City of my God.
There amidst the love and glory, He is waiting yet; On His hands a name is graven, He can ne'er forget.
There amidst the songs of heaven-- Sweeter to His ear Is the footfall through the desert, Ever drawing near.
There, made ready are the mansions, Glorious, bright and fair; But the Bride the Father gave Him Still is wanting there.
Who is this who comes to meet me On the desert way, As the Morning Star foretelling God's unclouded day?
He it is who came to win me, On the cross of shame In His glory well I know Him, Evermore the same
Oh! the blessed joy of meeting, All the desert past! Oh! the wondrous words of greeting He shall speak at last!
He and I together entering Those bright courts above, He and I together sharing All the Fathers love.
Where no shade nor stain can enter Nor the gold be dim, In that holiness unsullied I shall walk with Him
Meet companion then for Jesus, From Him, for Him made, Glory of Gods grace for ever There in me displayed
[Illustration]
He who in His hour of sorrow Bore the curse alone, I who through the lonely desert Trod where He had gone
He and I in that bright glory One deep joy shall share Mine to be for ever with Him His that I am there
The King of Love.
The King of Love my Shepherd is Whose goodness faileth never, I nothing lack if I am His And He is mine for ever.
Where streams of living waters flow, My ransomed soul He leadeth, And where the verdant pastures grow With food celestial feedeth

God is Love and God is Light
God is Love, His mercy brightens All the path in which we rove, Bliss He forms, and woe He lightens, God is Light and God is Love
Chance and change are busy ever, Worlds decay and ages move, But His mercy waneth never God is Light and God is Love.
Thine eyes shall see the King
Thine eyes shall see! Yes, thine, who, blind erewhile, Now trembling towards the new-found light dost flee, Leave doubting, and look up with trustful smile. Thine eyes shall see!
Thine eyes shall see the King! The very same Whose love shone forth upon the curseful tree, Who bore thy guilt, who calleth thee by name Thine eyes shall see!
Thine eyes shall see the King, the Mighty One, The many crowned, the light-enrobed, and He Shall bid thee share the kingdom He hath won Thine eyes shall see!

I am Thine.
Jesus Master! I am Thine, Keep me faithful keep me near, Let Thy presence in me shine All my homeward way to cheer, Jesus! at Thy feet I fall, Oh, be Thou my all in all
[Illustration]
Is it for Me?
Is it for me, dear Saviour Thy Glory and Thy rest? For me, so weak and sinful oh, shall I thus be blessed? Is it for me to see Thee in all Thy glorious grace And gaze in endless rapture on Thy beloved face?
Behold Thee in Thy beauty, behold Thee face to face, Behold Thee in Thy glory and reap Thy smile of grace And be with Thee for ever, and never grieve Thee more! Dear Saviour I must praise Thee and lovingly adore.

Going to Christ
I go to Christ my Saviour With every little need The help He always gives me Is wonderful indeed
I go when I am mourning The loss of loved ones near He speaketh words of comfort sweet, He doth my spirit cheer
