There's a land beyond the river
That we call the sweet forever
And we only reach that shore by faith's decree
One by one we'll gain the portals
There to dwell with the immortals
When they ring those golden bells for you and me

Oh can't you hear the bells a-ringing
Oh can't you hear the angels singing
Well it's the glory oh hallelujah, Jubilee
In that far off sweet forever
Just beyond the shining river
When they ring those golden bells for you and me

When our days shall know no number
When in death we sweetly slumber
When the King commands the spirit to be free
Nevermore with anguish laden
We shall reach that lovely Aidenn
When they ring those golden bells for you and me

Lyrics:

Once I stood in the night with my head bowed low
In the darkness as black as could be
And my heart felt alone and I cried, "O Lord
Don't hide Your face from me"

Chorus:
Hold my hand all the way every hour every day
From here to the great unknown
Take my hand; let me stand
Where no one stands alone

Like a king I may live in a palace so tall
With great riches to call my own
But I don't know a thing in this whole wide world
That's worse than being alone

Repeat Chorus

Scriptural Reference:

"But if I do judge, my decisions are right, because I am not alone. I stand with the Father, who sent me."  John 8:16

He will guide till the day is done
There's not a friend like the lowly Jesus

And yet no friend is so meek and lowly
No, not one! No, not one!

No, not one! No, not one!
No night so dark but His love can cheer us
No, not one! No, not one!

Music: Gregorian Chant (traditional)
This song also appeared on Life by New Reign and as part of "When I Survey/Old Rugged Cross" on Hymns for All the World by Acappella.
Lead:

Lyrics:

When I survey the wondrous cross
On which the Prince of glory died
My richest gain I count but loss
And pour contempt on all my pride

Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast
Save in the death of Christ, my Lord
All the vain things that charm me most
I sacrifice them to His blood

See, from His head, His hands, His feet
Sorrow and love flow mingled down
Did e'er such love and sorrow meet
Or thorns compose so rich a crown

Were the whole realm of nature mine
That were a present far too small
Love so amazing, so divine
Demands my soul, my life, my all

Scriptural Reference:

"But whatever was to my profit I now consider loss for the sake of Christ."  Philippians 3:7

Lyrics:

O sacred head now wounded with grief and shame weighed down
Now scornfully surrounded with thorns, Thine only crown
How art Thou pale with anguish with sore abuse and scorn
How does that visage languish which once was bright as morn

What Thou, my Lord, has suffered was all for sinner's gain
Mine, mine was the transgression but Thine the deadly pain
Lo, here I fall, my Savior; 'Tis I deserve Thy place
Look on me with Thy favor, vouchsafe to me Thy grace

What language shall I borrow to thank Thee dearest friend
For this Thy dying sorrow, thy pity without end
O make me Thine forever and should I fainting be
Lord, let me never, never outlive my love to Thee

Scriptural Reference:

“They stripped him and put a scarlet robe on him, and then twisted together a crown of thorns and set it on his head. They put a staff in his right hand and knelt in front of him and mocked him. 'Hail, king of the Jews!' they said.” Matthew 27:28-29

And He bids us all, freely drink

Will you come to the fountain free?
Will you come? Tis for you and me
Thirsty soul, here the welcome call
Tis the fountain open for all

There's a living stream with a crystal gleam
From the throne of life now it flows
While the waters roll, let the weary soul
Hear the call that forth freely goes

There's a rock that's cleft and no soul is left
That will not its pure waters share
Tis for you and me and its dream I see
Let us hasten joyfully there

I once was lost in sin but Jesus took me in
And then a little light from heaven filled my soul
It bathed my heart in love and wrote my name above
And just a little talk with Jesus made me whole

Chorus:
(Now let us) Have a little talk with Jesus
(Let us) Tell Him all about our troubles
(He will) Hear our faintest cry
(And He will) Answer by and by
(Now when you) Feel a little prayerful yearning
(As your) Heart unto heaven is turning
(You will) Find a little talk with Jesus makes it right

Sometimes my path seems drear without a ray of cheer
And then a cloud of doubt may hide the light of day
The mist of sin may rise and hide the starry skies
But just a little talk with Jesus clears the way

Repeat Chorus

I may have doubts and fears, my eyes be filled with tears
But Jesus is a friend who watches day and night
I go to Him in prayer, He knows my every care
And just a little talk with Jesus makes it right

Repeat Chorus

And I bear it no more
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord
O my soul

When the faith shall be sight
The clouds be rolled back as a scroll
The trump shall resound
And the Lord shall descend
Even so it is well with my soul

Who speaks from His inspired word

Secure is life from mortal mind
God holds the germ within His hand
Though men may search they cannot find
For God alone does understand

A life was willing there to give
That He from sin might set man free
And evermore with Him could live
