Mark 9:47

• [Mar 9:47] Whatever Dims Thy Sense Of Truth

  Whatever dims thy sense of truth Or stains thy purity, Though light as breath of summer air, O count it sin to thee. Preserve the tablet of thy thoughts From every blemish free, For our Redeemer’s holy faith Its temple makes with thee. And pray of God, that grace be given To tread the narrow way: How dark so ever it may seem, It leads to cloudless day.

Mark 10:21

• [Mar 10:21] So Near To The Kingdom

  So near to the kingdom! yet what dost thou lack? So near to the kingdom! what keepeth thee back? Renounce every idol, tho’ dear it may be, And come to the Savior now pleading with thee. Refrain Pleading with thee, The Savior is pleading, Is pleading with thee. So near that thou hearest the songs that resound From those who, believing, a pardon have found! So near, yet unwilling to give up thy sin, When Jesus is waiting to welcome thee in! Refrain O come; soon thy season of grace may be past, The door may be closed, and this call be thy last; O where wouldst thou turn if the light should depart That comes from the Spirit, and shines on thy heart? Refrain To die with no hope! hast thou counted the cost? To die out of Christ, and thy soul to be lost! So near to the kingdom! O come, we implore, While Jesus is pleading, come enter the door.

• [Mar 10:21] Though Kindred Ties Around Us

  Though kindred ties around us Like ivy branches twine, Though life has many pleasures That o’er my pathway shine, Though words to friendship sacred More sweet than music fall, One look, one smile from Jesus Is dearer far than all. Refrain Dearer, yes, dearer, Dearer far than all, One look, one smile from Jesus, Is dearer far than all. We meet in Christian converse, We speak of joys to come, We lift our eyes expectant To Eden’s blissful home; Though sweet and precious blessings With every moment fall, One look, one smile, from Jesus Is dearer far than all. Refrain One look, one smile from Jesus, For Whom our souls would live, Not Heav’n’s transcendent beauty Such holy joy can give; Beyond the silent river Though spirit voices call, One look, one smile, from Jesus Is dearer far than all.

Mark 10:29

• [Mar 10:29] For My Sake, And The Gospel’s

  “For My sake, and the Gospel’s, go And tell redemption’s story”; His heralds answer, “Be it so, And Thine, Lord, all the glory!” They preach His birth, His life, His cross, The love of His atonement, For Whom they count the world but loss, His Easter, His enthronement. Hark, hark, the trump of jubilee Proclaims to every nation, From pole to pole, by land and sea, Glad tidings of salvation; As nearer draws the day of doom, While still the battle rages, The heav’nly Dayspring through the gloom Breaks on the night of ages. Still on and on the anthems spread Of alleluia voices, In concert with the holy dead The warrior church rejoices; Their snow white robes are washed in blood, Their golden harps are ringing; Earth and the paradise of God One triumph song are singing. He comes, whose advent trumpet drowns The last of time’s evangels, Emmanuel crowned with many crowns, The Lord of saints and angels; O Life, Light, Love, the great I AM, Triune, who changest never, The throne of God and of the Lamb Is Thine, and Thine forever.
