John 11:23

• [Joh 11:23] Within The Churchyard, Side By Side

  Within the churchyard, side by side, Are many long low graves; And some have stones set over them, On some the green grass waves. Full many a little Christian child, Woman, and man, lies there; And we pass near them every time When we go in to prayer. They cannot hear our footsteps come, They do not see us pass; They cannot feel the warm bright sun That shines upon the grass. They do not hear when the great bell Is ringing overhead; They cannot rise and come to church With us, for they are dead. But we believe a day shall come When all the dead will rise, When they who sleep down in the grass, Will ope again their eyes. For Christ our Lord was buried once, He died and rose again, He conquered death, He left the grave; And so will Christian men. So when the friends we love the best Lie in their churchyard bed, We must not cry too bitterly Over the happy dead; Because, for our dear Savior’s sake, Our sins are all forgiv’n; And Christians only fall asleep To wake again in Heav’n.

John 17:17

• [Joh 17:17] O Holy Bible

  Thou “Word Incarnate,” “truth so divine,” Thou dost illumine each path of mine. Never a sorrow can e’er abide, While in thy refuge in safety I hide. Refrain O Holy Bible, truth so divine, Treasure from Heaven, I know thou art mine. Thou “Bread of Heaven,” sent from above, “Gift of the Father,” “message of love.” “Stream by the wayside,” sparkling and clear, “Fountains of cleansing,” in thee do appear. Refrain Thou art my “Wisdom,” “Treasure” complete, “Sweeter than honey,” “lamp to my feet.” Thou art my “Counsel,” “Word of the Lord,” Keeping thy precepts brings blessèd reward. Refrain
