Psalms 16:2

• [Psa 16:2] Oh To Be Over Yonder

  Oh to be over yonder, In that bright land of wonder, Where the angel voices mingle, and The angel harps do ring! To be free from care and sorrow, And the anxious dread tomorrow, To rest in light and sunshine in The presence of the King! Refrain Oh to be over yonder! In that land of wonder, There to be forever In the presence of the King! Oh to be over yonder! My longing heart grows fonder Of looking to the far off east, To see the daystar bring Some tidings of th’awaking— Of the cloudless, pure day breaking, My heart is yearning—yearning for The coming of the King! Refrain Oh to be over yonder! Alas! I sigh and ponder— Why clings this poor, weak heart of mine To any earthly thing? For each earthly tie must sever, And pass away forever: There’s no more separation in The presence of the King! Refrain Oh, when shall I be dwelling Where angel voices, swelling In triumphant hallelujahs, make The vaulted heavens ring— Where the pearly gates are gleaming, And the Morning Star is beaming? O when shall I be yonder in The presence of the King? Refrain Oh, when shall I be yonder? The longing groweth stronger To join in all the praises the Redeemèd ones do sing. Within those heavenly places, Where the angels veil their faces, In awe and adoration, in The presence of the King! Refrain Oh, I shall soon be yonder, And lonely as I wander, Yearning for the welcome summer— Longing for the bird’s fleet wing, The midnight may be dreary, And the heart be worn and weary, But there’s no more shadow yonder, In the presence of the King. Refrain

Psalms 119:57

• [Psa 119:57] Lord, Forever At Thy Side

  Lord, forever at Thy side Let my place and portion be; Strip me of the robe of pride, Clothe me with humility. Meekly may my soul receive All Thy Spirit hath revealed; Thou hast spoken; I believe, Though the prophecy were sealed. Quiet as a weanèd child, Weanèd from the mother’s breast, By no subtlety beguiled, On Thy faithful Word I rest. Saints rejoicing evermore, In the Lord Jehovah trust, Him, in all His ways, adore, Wise, and wonderful, and just.

• [Psa 119:57] O Jesus, I Have Promised

  O Jesus, I have promised to serve Thee to the end; Be Thou forever near me, my Master and my Friend; I shall not fear the battle if Thou art by my side, Nor wander from the pathway if Thou wilt be my Guide. O let me feel Thee near me! The world is ever near; I see the sights that dazzle, the tempting sounds I hear; My foes are ever near me, around me and within; But Jesus, draw Thou nearer, and shield my soul from sin. O let me hear Thee speaking in accents clear and still, Above the storms of passion, the murmurs of self will. O speak to reassure me, to hasten or control; O speak, and make me listen, Thou Guardian of my soul. O Jesus, Thou hast promised to all who follow Thee That where Thou art in glory there shall Thy servant be. And Jesus, I have promised to serve Thee to the end; O give me grace to follow, my Master and my Friend. O let me see Thy footprints, and in them plant mine own; My hope to follow duly is in Thy strength alone. O guide me, call me, draw me, uphold me to the end; And then in Heaven receive me, my Savior and my Friend.

• [Psa 119:57] Thou Art My Portion, Lord

  Thou art my portion, Lord; Thy words I ever heed; With all my heart, Thy grace I seek, Thy promises I plead. I thought upon my ways, Thy testimonies learned; With earnest haste, and waiting not, To Thy commands I turned. While snares beset my path, Thy law I keep in view; At midnight I will give Thee praise For all Thy judgments true. All those who fear Thy Name Shall my companions be; Thy mercy fills the earth, O Lord; Thy statutes teach Thou me.
