Exodus 1:1--11:10
-
[Exo 2:22] I Am A Poor Wayfaring Stranger
I am a poor wayfaring stranger,
While traveling through this world of woe.
Yet there’s no sickness, toil nor danger
In that bright world to which I go.
I’m going there to see my Father;
I’m going there no more to roam.Refrain
I’m only going over Jordan,
I’m only going over home.I know dark clouds will gather round me;
I know my way is rough and steep.
But golden fields lie out before me
Where God’s redeemed shall ever sleep.
I’m going there to see my mother,
She said she’d meet me when I come.Refrain
I’ll soon be free from every trial,
My body sleep in the churchyard;
I’ll drop the cross of self denial
And enter on my great reward.
I’m going there to see my Savior,
To sing His praise forevermore.Refrain

[Exo 2:22] A Pilgrim Through This Lonely World
A pilgrim through this lonely world
The blessèd Savior passed;
A mourner all His life was He,
A dying Lamb at last,
A dying Lamb at last.That tender heart that felt for all,
For all its life blood gave;
It found on earth no resting place
Save only in the grave,
Save only in the grave.Such was our Lord; and shall we fear
The cross with all its scorn?
Or love a faithless, evil world,
That wreathed His brow with thorn,
That wreathed His brow with thorn?No! facing all its frowns or smiles,
Like Him, obedient, still,
We homeward press through storm or calm
To Zion’s blessèd hill,
To Zion’s blessèd hill.By faith His boundless glories there
Our wondering eyes behold;
Those glories which eternal years
Shall never all unfold;
Shall never all unfold.source: Cyberhymnal -
[Exo 2:23] Lift Every Voice And Sing
Lift every voice and sing, till earth and Heaven ring,
Ring with the harmonies of liberty;
Let our rejoicing rise, high as the listening skies,
Let it resound loud as the rolling sea.
Sing a song full of the faith that the dark past has taught us,
Sing a song full of the hope that the present has brought us;
Facing the rising sun of our new day begun,
Let us march on till victory is won.Stony the road we trod, bitter the chastening rod,
Felt in the days when hope unborn had died;
Yet with a steady beat, have not our weary feet,
Come to the place for which our fathers sighed?
We have come over a way that with tears has been watered,
We have come, treading our path through the blood of the slaughtered;
Out from the gloomy past, till now we stand at last
Where the white gleam of our bright star is cast.God of our weary years, God of our silent tears,
Thou who hast brought us thus far on the way;
Thou who hast by Thy might, led us into the light,
Keep us forever in the path, we pray.
Lest our feet stray from the places, our God, where we met Thee.
Lest our hearts, drunk with the wine of the world, we forget Thee.
Shadowed beneath Thy hand, may we forever stand,
True to our God, true to our native land.Play source: Cyberhymnal -
[Exo 3:8] I’m Abiding In Canaan Land
I’m abiding today in Canaan land,
In the sunlight of God’s love;
And the Savior’s face ever shines before me
As I journey to my home above.Refrain
I’m abiding in Canaan land!
I’m abiding in Canaan land!
Since He washed my sin away,
It is glory all the way,
I’m abiding in Canaan land!
I’m abiding in Canaan land!
I’m abiding in Canaan land!
All my sins have been forgiv’n,
And I’m on my way to Heav’n,
I’m abiding in Canaan land!’Tis a foretaste of coming glory yonder
In that land beyond the sky,
Where in bliss untold I shall ever wander
In the blessèd homeland by and by.Refrain
Won’t you enter the land of peace and blessing,
And its rapture with me share?
All your sin and guilt to the Lord confessing,
You will have a blessèd welcome there.Refrain

[Exo 3:17] O The Way Is Long And Weary
O the way is long and weary,
And our bleeding feet are sore;
Is it far to Canaan’s land?
Is it far to Canaan’s land?
In the desert we are longing
For its shelter more and more
Is it far, is it far to Canaan’s land?Refrain
We are weary, we are weary
Sadly wand’ring thro’ the wilderness,
And o’er the desert sand;
We are weary, oh so weary,
Is it far, is it far to Canaan’s land?Thro’ the wilderness we’re foll’wing
Where the stronger ones have led;
Is it far to Canaan’s land?
Is it far to Canaan’s land?
Where the sand is often burning,
And the ground our only bed.
Is it far, is it far to Canaan’s land?Refrain
O how sweet would be a resting place,
A safe and quiet home;
Is it far to Canaan’s land?
Is it far to Canaan’s land?
Where the cruel days of bondage
And of fear will never come,
Is it far, is it far to Canaan’s land?Refrain

[Exo 4:11] Awake, My Tongue, Thy Tribute Bring
Awake, my tongue, thy tribute bring
To Him Who gave Thee power to sing;
Praise Him Who is all praise above,
The source of wisdom and of love.How vast His knowledge, how profound!
A deep where all our thoughts are drowned;
The stars He numbers, and their names
He gives to all those heavenly flames.Through each bright world above, behold
Ten thousand thousand charms unfold;
Earth, air, and mighty seas combine
To speak His wisdom all divine.But in redemption, O what grace!
Its wonders, O what thought can trace!
Here, wisdom shines forever bright;
Praise Him, my soul, with sweet delight.Play source: Cyberhymnal -
[Exo 4:12] Jesus, The Truth And Power Divine
Jesus, the Truth and Power divine,
Send forth these messengers of Thine;
Their hands confirm, their hearts inspire,
And touch their lips with hallowed fire.Be Thou their mouth and wisdom, Lord;
Thou, by the hammer of Thy Word,
The rocky hearts in pieces break,
And bid the sons of thunder speak.To those who would their Lord embrace,
Give them to preach the word of grace;
Sweetly their yielding bosoms move,
And melt them with the fire of love.Let all with thankful hearts confess
Thy welcome messengers of peace;
Thy power in their report be found,
And let Thy feet behind them sound.Play source: Cyberhymnal -
[Exo 4:12] Lord, Speak To Me
Lord, speak to me that I may speak
In living echoes of Thy tone;
As Thou has sought, so let me seek
Thine erring children lost and lone.O lead me, Lord, that I may lead
The wandering and the wavering feet;
O feed me, Lord, that I may feed
Thy hungering ones with manna sweet.O strengthen me, that while I stand
Firm on the rock, and strong in Thee,
I may stretch out a loving hand
To wrestlers with the troubled sea.O teach me, Lord, that I may teach
The precious things Thou dost impart;
And wing my words, that they may reach
The hidden depths of many a heart.O give Thine own sweet rest to me,
That I may speak with soothing power
A word in season, as from Thee,
To weary ones in needful hour.O fill me with Thy fullness, Lord,
Until my very heart overflow
In kindling thought and glowing word,
Thy love to tell, Thy praise to show.O use me, Lord, use even me,
Just as Thou wilt, and when, and where,
Until Thy blessèd face I see,
Thy rest, Thy joy, Thy glory share.Play source: Cyberhymnal -
[Exo 5:1] When Israel Was In Egypt’s Land
When Israel was in Egypt’s land,
Let My people go,
Oppressed so hard they could not stand,
Let My people go.Refrain
Go down, Moses,
Way down in Egypt’s land,
Tell old Pharaoh,
To let My people go.Thus saith the Lord, bold Moses said,
Let My people go,
If not I’ll smite your first born dead,
Let My people go.Refrain
No more in bondage shall they toil,
Let My people go,
Let them come out with Egypt’s spoil,
Let My people go.Refrain
