THE ANGEL'S BECKONING CALL
A beautiful angel-an angel in white-Surrounded by a radiant light
With tears in her
eyes-I heard her beckoning call
"Take my hand"-as she led me down a great hall
When we reached the end-She
released my hand
From there I could see all of the lands
The poverty, the defeat-People with no homes-Living out on
the street
With fear filled in their eyes-Not many to care of to listen to their cries
The suffering, the pain-Crimes
committed with no shame
So much abuse, all done in vain.
Love thy neighbor, the Bible states-Yet so many are
filled with hate
You have the chance in this life-Change your wrongs make them right
As she faded from my sight
Her voice grew faint-"No one knows the time nor date
Keep the faith for the pure at heart-Holds the key
to heaven's gate."

The sweetest Name on earth.

In store for every day,
And though I tread a darksome path,
Yields sunshine all the
way.

Can feel my deepest woe;
Who in each sorrow

A part that none can bear below.

Since Jesus came into my heart!
And I?appy, so happy, as onward I go,
Since Jesus came into my

THE OLD RUGGED CROSS
? cross of our Lord Jesus Christ.??latians 6:14
Courtesy of Old Rugged
Cross Historical Museum
Words & Music: George Bennard, 1913
The Old Rugged Cross was written
in Albion, Michigan. Or Pokagon, Michigan. Or Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin. All three towns claim to be the birthplace of this
hymn.
On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross,
The emblem of suffering and shame;
And I love
that old cross where the dearest and best
For a world of lost sinners was slain.
Refrain
So I?cherish
the old rugged cross,
Till my trophies at last I lay down;
I will cling to the old rugged cross,
And exchange
it some day for a crown.
O that old rugged cross, so despised by the world,
Has a wondrous attraction for
me;
For the dear Lamb of God left His glory above
To bear it to dark Calvary.
Refrain
In that
old rugged cross, stained with blood so divine,
A wondrous beauty I see,
For ?s on that old cross Jesus suffered
and died,
To pardon and sanctify me.
Refrain
To the old rugged cross I will ever be true;
Its
shame and reproach gladly bear;
Then He?call me some day to my home far away,
Where His glory forever I?share.

SITTING AT THE FEET OF JESUS
? had a sister called Mary, which also sat at Jesus?et, and heard His word.??ke
10:39
Words: J. H., 19th Century.
Music: ? for Jesus (Hull),??a Hull, 19th Century
Alternate tune:
?liff,??om The Crucifixion, by John Stainer, 1887
Sitting at the feet of Jesus,
Oh,
what words I hear Him say!
Happy place! so near, so precious!
May it find me there each day.
Sitting at the
feet of Jesus,
I would look upon the past;
For His love has been so gracious,
It has won my heart at last.
Sitting at the feet of Jesus,
Where can mortal be more blest?
There I lay my sins and sorrows
And,
when weary, find sweet rest.
Sitting at the feet of Jesus,
There I love to weep and pray,
While I from His
fullness gather
Grace and comfort every day.
Bless me, O my Savior, bless me,
As I sit low at Thy feet.
Oh, look down in love upon me;
Let me see Thy face so sweet.
Give me, Lord, the mind of Jesus;
Make me
holy as He is.
May I prove I?been with Jesus,
Who is all my righteousness.

When I just tell
him that Jesus loves me.
