Alike at work and prayer To Jesus I repair, May Jesus Christ be praised! Does sadness fill my mind? A solace here I find, May Jesus Christ be praised! Or fades my earthly bliss? My comfort still is this, May Jesus Christ be praised! The night becomes as day When from the heart we say, May Jesus Christ be praised! The powers of darkness fear When this sweet chant they hear, May Jesus Christ be praised! Ye nations of mankind In this your oneness find, May Jesus Christ be praised! Let all the earth around Ring joyous with the sound, May Jesus Christ be praised! Be this, while life is mine, My canticle divine, May Jesus Christ be praised! Be this th'eternal song Through all the ages long, May Jesus Christ be praised! America the Beautiful O beautiful for heroes proved in liberating strife, Who more than self their country loved, And Mercy more than life! America! America! My God thy gold refine, 'Til all success be nobleness, And every gain divine. Near to the Heart of God There is a place of comfort sweet, Near to the heart of God; A place where we our Savior meet, Near to the heart of God. CHORUS: O Jesus, blest Redeemer, Sent from the heart of God, Hold us, who wait before Thee, Near to the heart of God. There is a place of full release, Near to the heart of God; A place where all is joy and peace, Near to the heart of God. [CHORUS] Leaning on the Everlasting Arms What a fellowship, what a joy divine, Leaning on the everlasting arms; What a blessedness, what a peace is mine, Leaning on the everlasting arms CHORUS: Leaning, leaning, Safe a secure from all alarms; Leaning, leaning, Leaning on the everlasting arms. O how sweet to walk in this pilgrim way, Leaning on the everlasting arms; O how bright the path grows from day to day, Leaning on the everlasting arms. [CHORUS] What have I to dread, what have I to fear, Leaning on the everlasting arms? I have blessed peace with my Lord so near, Leaning on the everlasting arms. [CHORUS] Hosted on Acast.
