I Am a Poor Wayfaring Stranger

Author: Richard W. Adams Hymnal: CYBER #2711 Person Name: Richard W. Adams Refrain First Line: I’m only going over Jordan Lyrics: 1. I am a poor wayfaring stranger, While traveling through this world of woe. Yet there’s no sickness, toil nor danger In that bright world to which I go. I’m going there to see my Father; I’m going there no more to roam. Refrain I’m only going over Jordan, I’m only going over home. 2. I know dark clouds will gather round me; I know my way is rough and steep. But golden fields lie out before me Where God’s redeemed shall ever sleep. I’m going there to see my mother, She said she’d meet me when I come. [Refrain] 3. I’ll soon be free from every trial, My body sleep in the churchyard; I’ll drop the cross of self denial And enter on my great reward. I’m going there to see my Savior, To sing His praise forevermore. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [I am a poor wayfaring stranger]

I Had a Dream of Heaven

Author: Richard W. Adams Hymnal: CYBER #2802 Person Name: Richard W. Adams First Line: In my deepest dream I hear Lyrics: 1. In my deepest dream I hear A distant trumpet call, Get up and see, come unto Me: I sight a golden wall— Behold, Jerusalem! With angels round the throne, And emerald rainbow all aglow, Above a crystal sea. 2. I see the ransomed saints, A multitude untold, So glorious bright, with crowns of light, The victor’s palm they hold; I hear eternal choirs, Singing praise unto the Lamb, Salvation power burst into flower, And overcomes the night. 3. Proceeding from the throne, Flows a crystal river pure, It life bestows where’er it goes, And every ill will cure; Along the water’s edge, Are trees of fadeless bloom, No more we grieve, for their healing leaves, God’s love and blessing show. 4. I walk the golden streets, Where no tempter can ensnare, No darkness here, no more guilt or fear, No shadow anywhere; For nothing base or false Can live within these walls: No secret sin can hide within, No evil interfere. 5. Too soon the morning comes, And the veil obscures my sight, But now I see what my goal must be, That heavenly city bright— The walls whose cornerstone Is Jesus Christ our Lord, By faith in Him, the prize we win: God’s love eternally.

O Great God of Nations

Author: Richard W. Adams Hymnal: CYBER #4846 Person Name: Richard W. Adams First Line: O great God of nations, revive us, we pray Lyrics: 1. O great God of nations, revive us, we pray, Raise prodigal hearts to contrition today; In pride have we turned from Your life giving Word, Embracing the darkness while truth goes unheard. Create deep within us a clean heart today, Renew a right spirit, and teach us to say: Awaken, my soul, and send anthems above, To Him who is yearning to bless you in love. 2. Forsake not Your people though far we do roam, As hedonists, spendthrifts, abandoning home; But finally, throwing our folly aside, We see You are waiting with arms open wide. We plead Your forgiveness, our Father, we pray, O heal prideful blindness and teach us to say: How mighty the love that can conquer our sin, And open the door to the banquet within. 3. In faith and in gratitude, then, must we share The good news of Jesus with lands everywhere, With peoples still groping and stumbling in night; For them You command us to send out the light. To shout from the rooftops, proclaim o’er the wave, That Christ has redeemed from the depths of the grave: Pour out, then, Your Spirit, afresh in this hour, Enable our tongues to speak out with Your power.

O Heavy Burdened, Weary One

Author: Richard W. Adams Hymnal: CYBER #4953 Person Name: Richard W. Adams Lyrics: 1. O heavy burdened, weary one, Weighed down by sin and shame, Come with your tired, downtrodden soul, Helpless, or blind and lame; No matter what oppresses, Come, doubter, taste and see, That God alone possesses, Power to set you free. 2. For condemnation does not wait, But His forgiveness sweet, If only we confess the past, And lay it at His feet. He lifts the heavy millstone, Fetters of many years, And in the ocean casts them, So sinking all our fears. 3. There is a rest for humble souls, In everlasting arms, A refuge from the tears and pain And all the world’s alarms. For God Himself has spoken: If you would be made whole, Christ offers to the broken Balm for the sin-sick soul. Languages: English Tune Title: MCAFEE

On This Morn We See the Dawning

Author: Richard W. Adams Hymnal: CYBER #5396 Person Name: Richard W. Adams Lyrics: 1. On this morn we see the dawning Of a bright and glorious Sun; Night is banished, shadows fleeing, Demons scatter, devils run. To the garden come the women, Bringing spices for the dead, Wondering how to plead with soldiers, Guards of empire, armed and dread. 2. See, the empty sepulcher greets them, Heavy rock now rolled away; No more soldiers, nor a body, Only grave cloths where He lay. Seal of Caesar could not hold Him, Nor a mighty door of stone; King of kings, the Lord has triumphed, He has trampled Satan’s throne. 3. From the tomb a light is streaming, Proving faith is not in vain; In the morning joy befriends us, Sacred mystery now made plain. Can it be? The dead is living? Yes, the Son has hell overcome; Angel messenger proclaiming: See the power of death undone! 4. From the silent, stone cold prison, God erupts in glorious might; Suffering over, Christ has risen, Ends the age of gloom and night. Death, the final enemy, conquered, Now we no more fear the grave; Jesus died in place of sinners, And He lives, almighty to save. Languages: English Tune Title: BEECHER

Our Guilt Do We Confess Today

Author: Richard W. Adams Hymnal: CYBER #5468 Person Name: Richard W. Adams Lyrics: 1. Our guilt do we confess today, Your law did we reject; So little truth and mercy here— Your Word sees no respect. 2. We swear, we lie, we kill and steal, See harlotry increase; We break restraint, and blood on blood, Ignore the law of peace. 3. Our land, it mourns, we waste away, For wisdom seek we not; Destruction will our portion be, If God we have forgot. 4. To crystals, stone, and gold we pray, Those worthless things we preach; Those sightless eyes, unhearing ears, In vain do we beseech. 5. We well deserve the charge You bring, Upon us lays the blame; Contentious, proud, we stumble on, Our glory turns to shame. 6. Show us that only in Your Word Do truth and mercy live; Send priests and prophets to instruct, And Your pure wisdom give. 7. Have mercy, Lord, reject us not, Draw us to seek Your face; Direct our feet and deeds to You, Restore us by Your grace. 8. Lord, melt these icy hearts of stone, Make us Your counsel seek, And sacrifice to You alone, With humble hearts and meek. Languages: English Tune Title: MARTYRDOM

Through the Ages Saints Have Wondered

Author: Richard W. Adams Hymnal: CYBER #6709 Person Name: Richard W. Adams Lyrics: 1. Through the ages saints have wondered When the promised day will be, When in power and brightest glory Our returning Lord we’ll see; Searching the Scripture for signs of the times: Plague, earthquake, famine, false Christs and shrines; War and commotion, and signs in the sky; So lift up your heads, redemption then is nigh! 2. But the scoffers mock the promise, Walking in their lust and pride, Saying, Where, then, is your savior? Nothing changes—he has lied. Prophecy fails not! He knew they would speak Against His Word, deceiving the weak. Yes, we know Jesus is faithful and true, Preparing our mansion, making all things new. 3. At the time appointed, angels Will the silver trumpet peal; In the heavens shall the nations See the Son of Man revealed. Tombs, graves and oceans, relinquish their hold— Saints from the four winds, now crowned with gold; Those making merry, now shaking with dread, For He has returned to judge the quick and dead. 4. But we know not of the hour, When His promise He will keep; Therefore must we keep awatching, Lest our Lord find us asleep. For all will see Him, with scales and a sword, Dispensing justice, sure as His Word; Prepare to meet Him, with lamp in your hand, The Bridegroom is coming—rise and greet the Lamb!

We Hail the Rising Day Star

Author: Richard W. Adams Hymnal: CYBER #7195 Person Name: Richard W. Adams First Line: We hail the rising Day Star - the lamp within our heart Lyrics: 1. We hail the rising Day Star—the lamp within our heart Has banished all our darkness, and bid the night depart. We felt our blind eyes open, and ceased our doubt-filled war, When first we did receive Him, the bright and morning star. 2. Now icy pride is melted, and shadows fled away; The sunrise is upon us, as stubborn hearts give way; The testimony certain, prophetic truth proclaim: Let light shine into darkness, erasing fear and shame. 3. With borrowed light reflecting the Spirit in our heart, We spread the glorious tidings, to Earth’s remotest part; Unseeing eyes will open, and deaf ears hear the voice: See in the east arising the best and perfect choice. 4. And when our task is over, our time on Earth is done, We lie down to await Him, the promised coming sun; Earth’s final dawn arising, with light from shore to shore, The bright eternal shining, the sun to set no more.

When the Storms of Life Surround Me

Author: Richard W. Adams Hymnal: CYBER #7336 Person Name: Richard W. Adams Lyrics: 1. When the storms of life surround me, And the world seems dark and cold, When the rain beats down upon me, And the lightning stabs my soul, I cry out to my Savior, Lord, help me, lest I die! Do You care not that the billows Push my boat toward the shoal? 2. When the raging winds and tempest, And the noxious clouds of sin, Whirl around me like an army, And my faith is wearing thin, In a whispering distant thunder, Comes a voice like morning calm: “Fear not, I am with you ever, Till the world shall see its end. 3. I command the winds of heaven, And the lightning does My will, I who walked upon the waters, And who bid the storm be still. I seek not your destruction, But to strengthen and make pure; Keep your faith in Me, believing I My promises fulfill. 4. He is greater than the thunder, He is mightier than the storm; He extends His hand to lift me, And protect my soul from harm. He will see me safe to harbor, To the haven of my rest, Sheltered by the Rock of Ages, Held in His almighty arm. Languages: English Tune Title: NETTLETON
