Salvation Has Been Brought Down
Words and music: Albert E. Brumley
Lead: None
Lyrics:
Jesus gave His life a ransom yonder on Calvary
On Mount Calvary,
cruel Calvary
Paved the way by blood that we might win a bright shining
crown
Praise His (blessed) holy name, salvation has been brought down
(oh glory)
Chorus:
Praise the Lord, blessed Lord, salvation has been brought
down (from heaven)
Go and shout (go and shout), and tell it to the
world around
Go preach it and tell it today to people in sorrow
Tell
it today and tell it tomorrow
Preach the word of God that we might win
a (shining) crown (in heaven)
Tell the lost (all the lost) salvation is
full and free (to sinners)
Spread the news (blessed news) all over the
land and sea
Go teach it and tell it afar in every nation
Tell it
afar all over creation
Praise the Lord, blessed Lord, salvation has
been brought down
There's a blessed home prepared way over in gloryland
In bright
gloryland, blessed gloryland
I have trusted in His love and now I am
heaven bound
Praise His (blessed) holy name, salvation has been brought
down (oh glory)
Repeat Chorus (x2)
Scriptural Reference:
"Then I heard a loud voice in heaven say: 'Now have come the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ. For the accuser of our brothers, who accuses them before our God day and night, has been hurled down.'" Revelation 12:10

Lyrics:
My Jesus knows when I am Lonely
He knows each pain, He sees each
tear
He understands each lonely heartache
He understands because He
cares
Chorus:
My Jesus knows just what I need
Oh yes! He knows just
what I need
He satisfies and every need supplies
Yes, He knows just
what I need
My Jesus knows when I am burdened
He knows how much my heart can
bear
He lifts me up when I am sinking
And brings me joy beyond
compare
Repeat Chorus
When other friends seem to forget me
When skies are dark, when hope
is gone
By faith I feel His arms around me
And hear Him say, "You're
not alone"
Repeat Chorus (x2)
He satisfies and every need supplies
Yes, He knows just what I
need
Scriptural Reference:
"Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him." Matthew 6:8

Lyrics:
I'd like to stay here longer then man's alotted days
And watch
the fleeting changes of life's uneven ways
But if my Savior calls
me to that sweet home on high
I'll live with Him forever in glory by
and by
Chorus 1:
O yes, I'll live in glory (live in glory) by and
by
I'll tell and sing love's story (tell love's story) there on
high
There with my dear Redeemer (there no more) no more to die
Oh
yes, I'll live in glory (glory) by and by
I want to be of service along this pilgrim way
And lead the
lost to Jesus as fervently I pray
As day by day I travel I'll keep him
ever nigh
And live with Him Forever in Glory by and by
Repeat Chorus 1
The end I know is nearing, by faith I look away
To yonder home
supernal, the land of endless day
I'll cling to Him forever and look
beyond the sky
And live with Him forever in glory by and by
Repeat Chorus 1
Chorus 2:
O yes, I'll live in glory (live in glory) by and
by
I'll tell and sing love's story (tell love's story) there on high

you'll live in glory
Oh yes, we'll live in glory (glory) by and by

Lyrics:
Flee as a bird to your mountain, thou who art weary of sin
Go to the
clear flowing fountain where you may wash and be clean
Fly for the
avenger is near thee; call, and the Savior will hear thee
He on His
bosom will bear thee; O thou who art weary of sin
O thou who art weary
of sin
He will protect thee forever, wipe every falling tear
He will
forsake thee, O never, sheltered so tenderly there
Haste, then, the
hours are flying, spend not the moments in sighing
Cease from your
sorrow and crying: The Savior will wipe every tear
The Savior will wipe
every tear

Lyrics:
And the joy we share as we tarry there
None other has ever known
I come to the garden alone
While the dew is still on the
roses
And the voice I hear
Falling on my ear
The Son of God
discloses
Chorus:
And He walks with me
And He talks with me
And He tells
me I am His own
And the joy we share as we tarry there
None other
has ever known
He speaks and the sound of His voice
Is so sweet the birds hush
their singing
And the melody that He gave to me
Within my heart is
ringing
Repeat Chorus
I'd stay in the garden with Him
Tho the night around me be
falling
But He bids me go thru the voice of woe
His voice to me is
calling
Repeat Chorus

I'll rest on that shore
Where the night has been turned into day
Chorus:
Up in paradise valley (up in the beautiful paradise
valley)
By the side of the river of life (of the river of life)
Up
in paradise valley (up in the valley, the wonderful valley)
We'll be
free from all pain and all strife (from all pain and all strife)
There
we'll live in the garden (there we shall live in the rose tinted
garden)
'Neath the shade of the evergreen tree (of the evergreen
tree)
How I long for the paradise valley (for the paradise
valley)
Where the beauty of heaven I'll see (beauty of heaven I'll
see)

With the flowers
that bloom in the garden above
In the midst of it grows Sharon's
perfect sweet rose
'Tis the wonderful flower we love

How they linger, ever near me
And the sacred past unfold
Chorus:
Precious memories, how they linger

Know not what the years may hold
As
I ponder all grows fonder
Precious memories flood my soul

Precious sacred scenes unfold

Lyrics:
Arise the master calls for thee
The harvest days are here
No
longer sleep with folded hands
But gather far and near

But still there's work for millions more, then for the field
prepare
Arise (arise), Arise (arise), the master calls for thee

Arise (arise), Arise (arise), a faithful reeper be
(arise)
The field (the field) is white (is white) and days are going by
(arise)

The message bear to distant lands
Beyond the rolling sea
Go tell
them of the Savior's love
The Lamb of Calvary
Arise the master calls
for thee, salvation full and free proclaim (Arise, Arise, Arise)
Till
every kindred tribe and kind exalt the Savior's name
Arise (arise),
Arise (arise), the master calls for thee

Lyrics:
Soon this life will all be over
And our pilgramage will end
Soon
we'll take our heavenly journey
Be at home with Christ our

Heaven's gates are standing open
Waiting for our entrance
there
Some sweet day we're going over
All the beauties there to
share
Chorus:
Just a little while to stay here (stay here)
Just a
little while to wait (to wait)
Just a little while to labor
(labor)
In the path that's always straight (that's always straight and
narrow)
Just a little more of trouble (trouble)
In this low and
sinful state (sinful state)
Then we'll enter heaven's
portals
Sweeping through the pearly gates (pearly gates)
Soon we'll meet all the redeemed ones
And we'll take them by the
hand
Soon we'll press into our bosom
Over in the promised
land
Then we'll be at home forever
Through out all eternity
What
a blessed, blessed morning
That eternal morn will be
