1 Peter 2:7-8

• [1Pe 2:7] I Find Thee So Precious

  O what are the pleasures that silver can buy? They come and they go, but cannot satisfy; But praised be the Savior! I cease not to cry, I find Thee so precious, my Savior! Refrain O sweeter and sweeter, as day follows day, As the gold of the morning breaks forth through the gray; As I lift up my soul, as I praise and I pray, I find Thee more precious, my Savior! I care not if all the proud world turn away, The plaudits of men only last for a day; Their frowns do not frighten, or cause me dismay, I find Thee so precious, my Savior! Refrain As well in the cottage as under the dome, Beside my own cot, or wherever I roam; The honey from Heaven still drips from the comb; I find Thee so precious, my Savior! Refrain

• [1Pe 2:7] Never Forget

  Never forget that the Savior is near, Asking if thou wilt receive Him. He will protect from all danger and fear Those who love, trust and believe Him. Never forget that the Master is near, All of thy life He is viewing; How doth the record before Him appear, Art thou His precepts pursuing? Refrain Never forget, never forget, Jesus is near, O receive Him. He will come in, cleanse from all sin; Cheerfully trust and believe Him. Never forget the good Shepherd is near, Faithfully leading and guiding, Turn not away, lest His voice thou shalt hear, Tenderly pleading and chiding. Never forget the Redeemer is near, Nor the dear ransom once given. If we obey, love, and honor Him here, We shall dwell with Him in Heaven. Refrain

1 Peter 2:11

• [1Pe 2:11] O Happy Band Of Pilgrims

  O happy band of pilgrims, If onward you will tread, With Jesus as your Fellow, To Jesus as your Head. O happy if you labor, As Jesus did for men; O happy if you hunger As Jesus hungered then. The cross that Jesus carried He carried as your due; The crown that Jesus weareth He weareth it for you. The faith by which you see Him, The hope in which you yearn, The love that through all troubles To Him alone will turn. What are they but forerunners To lead you to His sight? What are they save the effluence Of uncreated Light? The trials that beset you, The sorrows you endure, The manifold temptations That death alone can cure. What are they but His jewels Of right celestial worth? What are they but the ladder Set up to heaven on earth? O happy band of pilgrims, Look upward to the skies, Where such a light affliction Shall win you such a prize. To Father, Son, and Spirit, The God Whom we adore, Be loftiest praises given, Now and for evermore.

1 Peter 4:12

• [1Pe 4:12] Do Not Be Surprised

  Do not be surprised at the suffering you bear; It’s not something strange, so you must not despair. Rejoice that you share with Christ and His sufferings know; When He comes in glory, your joy will o’erflow. Refrain If God should will that you suffer ill, Commit yourself gladly His will to fulfill. If you are insulted because of Christ’s Name, You’re blessed, for God’s Spirit on you will remain. Your suffering should never be for what deserves blame; But if for your faith you’re hurt, be not ashamed. Refrain God’s judgment will start with His own family. What then will the outcome for godless men be? In spite of your suffering, do good to all men; For God will be faithful to you to the end. Refrain

• [1Pe 4:19] In Thy Holy Keeping

  Savior, in Thy holy keeping, Take, O take our hearts anew; Guard us from the world’s temptation, All the pilgrim journey thro’. Refrain By Thy grace, O Lord, defend us, While as strangers here we roam, In Thy tender mercy lead us Till we reach our heav’nly home. Let our faith in Thee be centered, Growing brighter day by day; Let our hopes be clear and steadfast, All along our homeward way. Refrain Let our love be deep and fervent, Like to Thine, so full and free, And at last, when Heav’n we enter, Let Thy Name our password be. Refrain
