God of eternity, Savior and King,
Help us to honor Thee, help while we sing;

Glorious in majesty, Author of Praise;
Hear Thou our earnest call, while at Thy feet we fall,
Jesus, our all in all, our Lord and King!God of eternity, Ruler divine,
Strength of the mighty hills, all power is Thine;
Boundless Thy reign shall be, wondrous Thy victory,
Earth shall be filled with Thee, our Lord and King!God of eternity, love is Thy Name,
God of the earth and sea, Thee we proclaim;
Love, through Thine only Son, Thy work of grace hath done;
O blessèd Three in One, our Lord and King!source: Cyberhymnal -
[Isa 57:15] Where Will You Spend Eternity?
Where will you spend eternity?
This question comes to you and me!
Tell me, what shall your answer be?
Where will you spend eternity?
Eternity! eternity!
Where will you spend eternity?Many are choosing Christ today,
Turning from all their sins away;
Heav’n shall their happy portion be;
Where will you spend eternity?
Eternity! eternity!
Where will you spend eternity?Leaving the straight and narrow way,
Going the downward road today,
Sad will their final ending be,
Lost thro’ a long eternity!
Eternity! eternity!
Lost thro’ a long eternity!Repent, believe, this very hour,
Trust in the Savior’s grace and power,
Then will your joyous answer be,
Saved thro’ a long eternity!
Eternity! eternity!
Saved thro’ a long eternity!Play source: Cyberhymnal -
[Isa 58:1] O Cry Aloud And Spare Not
O cry aloud and spare not,
Ye watchmen on the wall,
Unless we go to battle
Our Zion here will fall.
Put on the Gospel armor;
Put on the shoes of peace.
We’ll fight till He with glory
Shall cause all wars to cease.The multitudes run blindly
Along the large, broad way.
They’re crying peace and safety
And know not what they say.
Wake up and sense the danger,
My friends, be cleansed within;
Not just a carnal Christian,
“Ye must be born again!”Play source: Cyberhymnal -
[Isa 58:8] Send Out The Sunlight
Send out the sunlight, the sunlight of cheer
Shine on earth’s sadness till it disappear—
Souls are in waiting this message to hear,
Send out the sunlight of love.Refrain
Send out the sunlight of love,
Send out the sunlight of love,
Send out the sunlight,
Send out the sunlight,
Send out the sunlight of love.Send out the sunlight in letter and word;
Speak it and think it till hearts are all stirred—
Hearts that are hungry for prayers still unheard,
Send out the sunlight of love.Refrain
Send out the sunlight each hour and each day,
Crown all the years with its luminous ray,
Nourish the seeds that are sown on the way,
Send out the sunlight of love.Refrain
Send out the sunlight that speaks in a smile,
Often it shortens the long, weary mile,
Often the burden seems light for a while,
Send out the sunlight of love.Refrain
Send out the sunlight, as free as the air!
Blessings will follow with none to compare.
Blessings of peace, that will rise from despair!
Send out the sunlight of love.Refrain
Send out the sunlight, you have it in you!
Clouds may obscure it just now from your view;
Pray for its presence! Your prayer will come true,
Send out the sunlight of love!Refrain

[Isa 58:11] In The Child Garden
In the garden, in the garden of Jesus our Savior,
We are growing, we are growing for Jesus alone.Refrain

We are growing for Jesus, His loved and His own.Little children, little children are the flow’rs in His garden,
We must blossom, we must blossom, for Jesus alone.Refrain
Jesus loves us, Jesus loves us, the flow’rs of His garden;
He will keep us, He will keep us, nor leave us alone.Refrain
We must love him, we must love Him, this Jesus our Savior,
We must trust Him, we must trust Him, in Jesus alone.Refrain

[Isa 58:11] Thy Way, Not Mine, O Lord
Thy way, not mine, O Lord,
However dark it be;
Lead me by Thine own hand,
Choose out the path for me.Smooth let it be or rough,
It will be still the best;
Winding or straight, it leads
Right onward to Thy rest.I dare not choose my lot;
I would not, if I might;
Choose Thou for me, my God,
So I shall walk aright.Take Thou my cup, and it
With joy or sorrow fill,
As best to Thee may seem;
Choose Thou my good and ill.Choose Thou for me my friends,
My sickness or my health;
Choose Thou my cares for me
My poverty or wealth.The kingdom that I seek
Is Thine: so let the way
That leads to it be Thine,
Else I must surely stray.Not mine, not mine the choice
In things or great or small;
Be Thou my Guide, my Strength
My Wisdom, and my All.Play source: Cyberhymnal -
[Isa 58:13] Sweetly Dawns The Sabbath Morning
Sweetly dawns the Sabbath morning
On the world, so full of care;
Bidding man forget his labor,
Calling to the house of prayer.
O sweet and strong, His saints among,
We sing to God our Sabbath song,
Our Sabbath song, our Sabbath song,
We raise to Christ our Sabbath song.’Tis the day when man’s Redeemer
Rose triumphant o’er the grave;
Sealing thus His work completed,
Telling thus His power to save.
Then loud and long, to Christ so strong
To save the lost, we raise our song,
Our Sabbath song, our Sabbath song,
We raise to Christ our Sabbath song.’Tis the day whose rest and gladness
Show what all my life should be;
Yielding all by faith to Jesus,
Finding Jesus all in me.
O how I long, in Christ made strong,
To sing each day faith’s Sabbath song,
Faith’s Sabbath song, faith’s Sabbath song,
I’d sing each day faith’s Sabbath song.’Tis the day whose calm, so holy
Shadows forth the better rest,
Where the crownèd saints are singing
With their Lord, supremely blest.
’Twill not be long, till ’mid that throng,
We sing th’eternal Sabbath Song,
Heav’n’s Sabbath song, Heav’n’s Sabbath song,
We’ll sing th’eternal Sabbath song.Play source: Cyberhymnal -
[Isa 59:19] Sound The Battle Cry
Sound the battle cry! See, the foe is nigh;
Raise the standard high for the Lord;
Gird your armor on, stand firm every one;
Rest your cause upon His holy Word.Refrain
Rouse, then, soldiers, rally round the banner,
Ready, steady, pass the word along;
Onward, forward, shout aloud Hosanna!
Christ is Captain of the mighty throng.Strong to meet the foe, marching on we go,
While our cause we know, must prevail;
Shield and banner bright, gleaming in the light,
Battling for the right we ne’er can fail.Refrain
O! Thou God of all, hear us when we call,
Help us one and all by Thy grace;
When the battle’s done, and the vict’ry’s won,
May we wear the crown before Thy face.Refrain

[Isa 59:19] There’s Peace And Rest In Paradise
There’s peace and rest in paradise,
In weary hours we say;
And oh that we had wings like doves
That we might flee away!For here so strong the evil seems,
So weak appears the good,
Our standard wavers in the rush
Of evil, like a flood.At times, through the long lonely watch,
Nor sun nor moon appears;
Without, incessant fightings are,
Within, incessant fears.Then for the quiet land we long,
And the abode of peace;
And for the word, “Come, weary soul,
From war and vigil cease!”But in our stronger hours we grasp
The warrior’s sword again,
And burn the good fight yet to fight,
The faithful watch maintain.We fain would tread the famous way
Martyrs and saints have trod;
The hours ebb fast of this one day
Of noblest war for God!The Lord Himself hath need of us;
On! till the fight be won;
And the King’s words shall thrill the heart:
“Servant of God, well done!”Play source: Cyberhymnal -
[Isa 59:20] When Shades Of Night Around Us Close
When shades of night around us close,
And weary limbs in sleep repose,
The faithful soul awake may be,
And longing sigh, O Lord, to Thee.Thou true Desire of nations, hear,
Thou Word of God, Thou Savior dear;
In pity heed our humble cries,
And bid at length the fallen rise.O come, Redeemer, come and free
Thine own from guilt and misery;
The gates of Heav’n again unfold,
Which Adam’s sin had closed of old.All praise, eternal Son, to Thee,
Whose advent sets Thy people free,
Whom with the Father we adore
And Holy Ghost forevermore.Play source: Cyberhymnal
