Come Unto Jesus

COME UNTO JESUS

Text and Music: Orson Pratt Huish, 1851 - 1932

Come unto Jesus,
ye heavy laden,
Care-worn and fainting,
by sin oppressed.
He'll safely guid you
unto that haven
Where all who trust him may rest, may rest.

Come unto Jesus;
He'll ever heed you,
Though in the darkness
you've gone astray.
His love will find you
and gently lead you
From darkest night into day, to day.

Come unto Jesus;
He'll surely hear you,
If you in meekness
plead for his love.
Oh, know you not that
angels are newar you
From brightest mansions above, above?

Come unto Jesus
from every nation,
From every land and
isle of the sea.
Unto the the ghigh and
lowly in station,
Ever he calls, "Come to me, to me".

Come Follow Me

COME FOLLOW ME

Text: John Nicholson, 1839 - 1909
Music: Samuel McBurney, b. 1847


"Come, follow me", the Savior said.
Then let us in his footsteps tread,
For thus alone can we be one
With God's own loved, begotten Son.

"Come, follow me", a simple phrase,
Yet truth's sublime, efulgen rays
Are in these simple words combined
To urge, inspire the human mind.

Is it enough alone to know
That we must follow him below
While travelling through this vale of tears?
No, this extends to holier spheres.

Not only shall we emulate
His course while in this earthy state,
But when we're freed from present cares,
If with our Lord we would be heirs.

We must the onward path pursue
As wider fields expand to view,
And follow him unceasingly,
Whatever our lot or sphere may be.

For thrones, dominions, kingdoms, powers,
And glory great and bliss are ours,
If we, throughout eternity,
Obey his words, "Come, follow me".

I Know that My Redeemer Lives

1st verse to "I Know that My Redeemer Lives"

I KNOW THAT MY REDEEMER LIVES

Text: Samuel Medley, 1738 - 1799
Music: Lewis D. Edwards, 1858 - 1921


I know that my Redeemer lives.
What comfort this sweet sentence gives!
He lives, he lives, who once was dead.
He lives, my ever-living Head.
He lives to bless me with his love.
He lives to plead for me above.
He lives my hungry soul to feed.
He lives to bless in time of need.

He lives to grant me rich supply.
He lives to guide me with his eye.
He lives to comfort me when faint.
He lives to hear my soul's complaint.
He lives to silence all my fears.
He lives to wipe away my tears.
He lives to calm my troubled heart.
He lives all blessings to impart.

He lives, my kind, wise heavenly Friend.
He lives and loves me to the end.
He lives, and while he lives, I'll sing.
He lives, my Prophet, Priest, and King.
He lives and grants me daily breath.
He lives, adn I shall conquer death.
He lives my mansion to prepare.
He lives to bring me safely there.

He lives! All glory to his name!
He lives, my Savior, still the same.
Oh,swet the joy this sentence gives:
"I know that my Redeemer lives!" (x 2)





For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth.....
- Job 19:25

And now, after the many testimonies which have been given of him, this is the testimony, last of all, which we give of him: That he lives!
For we saw him, even on the right hand of God; and we heard the voice bearing record that he is the Only Begotten of the father-
That by him, and through him, and of him, the worlds are and were created, and the inhabitants thereof are begotten sons and daughters unto God.
- Doctrine and Covenents 76:22 - 24

I Believe in Christ

1st verse to "I Believe in Christ"

I BELIEVE IN CHRIST

Text: Bruce R. McConkie, 1915 - 1985
Music Longhurst, b. 1940

I believe in Christ; he is my King!
With all my heart ot him I'll sing;
I'll raise my voice in praise and joy,
In grand amens my tongue employ.
I believe in Christ; he is God's Son.
On earth to dwell his soul did come.
He healed the sick; the dead he raise.
Good workds were his; his name be praised.

I believe in Christ; oh, blessed name!
As Mary's Son he came to reign
'Mid mortal men, his earthly kin,
To save them from the woes of sin.
I believe in Christ, who marked the path,
Who did gain all his Father hath,
Who said to men: "Come, follow me,
That ye, my friends, with God may be".

I believe in Christ - my Lord, my God!
My feet he plants on gospel sod.
I'll worship him with all my might;
He is the source of truth and light.
I believe in Christ; he ransoms me.
From Satan's grasp he sets me free,
And I shall live with joy and love
In his eternal courts above.

I believe in Christ; he stands supreme!
From him I'll gain my fondest dream;
And while I strive through grief and pain,
His voice is heard: "Ye shall obtain".
I belive in Christ; so come what may,
With him I"ll stand in that great day
When on this earth he comes again
To rule among the sons of men.

A CHILD'S PRAYER

Words and Music by Janice Kapp Perry, b. 1938


Heavenly Father, are you really there?
And do you hear and answer every child's prayer?
Some say that heaven is far away,
But I feel it close around me as I pray.
Heavenly Father, I remember now
Something that Jesus told disciples long ago:
"Suffer the children to come to me."
Father, in prayer I'm coming now to thee.



Pray, he is there;
Speak, he is listening.
You are his child;
His love now surrounds you.
He hears your prayer;
He loves the children.
Of such is the Kingdom,
the kingdom of heaven.

And for every blessing that I enjoy here.

And mind what my father and mother shall say.
In the dear name of Jesus, so loving and mild,
I ask thee to bless me and keep me thy child.
