When They Ring the Golden Bells

Today's hymn can be downloaded here. For more information look here, here and here. Thank you and God Bless!

1 There’s a land beyond the river,
That we call the sweet forever,
And we only reach that shore by faith’s decree;
One by one we’ll gain the portals,
There to dwell with the immortals,
When they ring the golden bells for you and me.

Refrain:
Don’t you hear the bells now ringing?
Don’t you hear the angels singing?
’Tis the glory hallelujah Jubilee.
In that far off sweet forever,
Just beyond the shining river,
When they ring the golden bells for you and me.

2 We shall know no sin or sorrow,
In that haven of tomorrow,
When our barque shall sail beyond the silver sea;
We shall only know the blessing
Of our Father’s sweet caressing,
When they ring the golden bells for you and me. [Refrain]

3 When our days shall know their number,
And in death we sweetly slumber,
When the King commands the spirit to be free;
Nevermore with anguish laden,
We shall reach that lovely Eden,
When they ring the golden bells for you and me. [Refrain]

Trust and Obey

Today's hymn can be downloaded here.  For more information look here, here and here. Thank you and God Bless!

1 When we walk with the Lord
in the light of his word,
what a glory he sheds on our way!
While we do his good will,
he abides with us still,
and with all who will trust and obey.

Refrain:
Trust and obey, for there's no other way
to be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey.

2 Not a burden we bear,
not a sorrow we share,
but our toil he doth richly repay;
not a grief or a loss,
not a frown or a cross,
but is blest if we trust and obey. [Refrain]

3 But we never can prove
the delights of his love
until all on the altar we lay;
for the favor he shows,
for the joy he bestows,
are for them who will trust and obey. [Refrain]

4 Then in fellowship sweet
we will sit at his feet,
or we'll walk by his side in the way;
what he says we will do,
where he sends we will go;
never fear, only trust and obey. [Refrain]

just from Jesus simply taking
life and rest, and joy and peace. [Refrain]

Take Time to Be Holy

Today's hymn can be downloaded here. For more information look here, here and here. Thank you and God Bless!

1. Take time to be holy, speak oft with thy Lord;
Abide in Him always, and feed on His Word.
Make friends of God’s children, help those who are weak,
Forgetting in nothing His blessing to seek.

2. Take time to be holy, the world rushes on;
Spend much time in secret, with Jesus alone.
By looking to Jesus, like Him thou shalt be;
Thy friends in thy conduct His likeness shall see.

3. Take time to be holy, let Him be thy Guide;
And run not before Him, whatever betide.
In joy or in sorrow, still follow the Lord,
And, looking to Jesus, still trust in His Word.

4. Take time to be holy, be calm in thy soul,
Each thought and each motive beneath His control.
Thus led by His Spirit to fountains of love,
Thou soon shalt be fitted for service above.

Sunshine in My Soul

1 There is sunshine in my soul today,
More glorious and bright!
Than glows in any earthly sky,
For Jesus is my light.

Chorus:
O there's sunshine (O there's sunshine in my soul,)
blessed sunshine, (blessed sunshine in my soul,)
When the peaceful, happy moments roll; (happy moments roll.)
When Jesus shows His smiling face,
There is sunshine in my soul.

2 There is music in my soul today,
A carol to my King;
And Jesus listening, can hear
The songs I cannot sing. [Chorus]

3 There is music in my soul today,
For when my Lord is near
The dove of peace sings in my heart,
The flowers of grace appear. [Chorus]

4 There is gladness in my soul today,
And hope and praise and love
For blessings which He gives me now,
For joys "laid up" above. [Chorus]
