1 Flee to the ark, in Jesus find
The only refuge for mankind;
Flee for your life, to Jesus bow;
Flee to the ark of safety now.

Refrain:
Flee to the ark of safety now;
Flee to the ark, flee to the ark;
Flee for your life, to Jesus bow;
Flee to the ark of safety now.

2 Flee to the ark, O sinner, haste,
The clouds are gathering o’er the waste;
Flee for your life, to Jesus bow;
Flee to the ark of safety now. [Refrain]

3 Flee to the ark, O quickly fly;
The floods of death are drawing nigh;
Flee for your life, to Jesus bow;
Flee to the ark of safety now. [Refrain]

4 Flee to the ark, why will ye die?
A watery tomb is rolling high;
Flee for your life, to Jesus bow;
Flee to the ark of safety now. [Refrain]

Audio Recording:

1 I long to enter those pearly gates,
And walk the streets of gold;
I long to reach that heav’nly land,
My Savior to behold;
I long to bathe in the crystal fount,
That flows by the throne of God;
Be wash’d from ev’ry stain of sin,
Made pure by Jesus’ blood.

2 I long to dwell in that purer clime,
Where Jesus ever reigns;
Beyond the sorrows that darken time,
Beyond these earthly claims;
I long to enter that land of light
Where shadows of night ne’er come,
Where heaven reflects a light so bright,
They need no light of sun.

PDF: More Like Jesus Would I Be

Audio Recording:

1 More like Jesus would I be,
Let my Savior dwell with me;
Fill my soul with peace and love,
Make me gentle as a dove;
More like Jesus, while I go,
Pilgrim in this world below;
Poor in spirit would I be;
Let my Savior dwell in me.

2 If He hears the raven’s cry,
If His ever watchful eye
Marks the sparrows when they fall,
Surely He will hear my call:
He will teach me how to live,
All my sinful thoughts forgive;
Pure in heart I still would be;
Let my Savior dwell in me.

3 More like Jesus when I pray,
More like Jesus day by day;
May I rest me by His side,
Where the tranquil waters glide:
Born of Him, through grace renewed,
By His love my will subdued,
Rich in faith I still would be;
Let my Savior dwell in me.

PDF: Whither, Pilgrims, Are You Going?

Audio Recording:

1. Whither, pilgrims, are you going,
Going each with staff in hand?
We are going on a journey,
Going at our King’s command.
Over hills and plains and valleys,
We are going to His palace,
We are going to His palace,
Going to the better land.

2. Fear ye not the way so lonely—
You, a little, feeble band?
No, for friends unseen are near us:
Holy angels round us stand.
Christ, our Leader, walks beside us:
He will guard and He will guide us,
He will guard and He will guide us,
Guide us to the better land.

3. Tell me, pilgrims, what you hope for
In that far-off better land.
Spotless robes and crowns of glory
From a Saviour’s loving hand.
We shall drink of life’s clear river,
We shall dwell with God forever,
We shall dwell with God forever
In that bright and better land.

4. Pilgrims, may we travel with you
To that bright, that better land?
Come and welcome, come and welcome,
Welcome to our pilgrim band.
Come, O come, and do not leave us,
Christ is waiting to receive us,
Christ is waiting to receive us
In that bright, that better land.

Audio Recording:

1 Time is filled with swift transition,
naught of earth unmoved can stand;
Build your hopes on things eternal,
hold to God’s unchanging hand!

Refrain:
Hold (to His hand) to God’s unchanging hand!
Hold (to his hand) to God’s unchanging hand!
Build your hopes on things eternal,
hold to God’s unchanging hand!

2 Trust in Him who will not leave you,
whatsoever years may bring;
If by earthly friends forsaken,
still more closely to Him cling. [Refrain]

3 Covet not this world’s vain riches
that so rapidly decay;
Seek to gain the heav’nly treasures,
they will never pass away! [Refrain]

4 When your journey is completed,
if to God you have been true,
fair and bright the home in glory,
your enraptured soul will view! [Refrain]

Audio Recording:

1 My soul, stay not in the shadows,
Where the mist of sorrow clings;
There is joy for the heart
Bidding shadows depart,
There is joy for the life on wings.

Chorus:
Mount up, my soul, with gladness,
Where the sunshine cheers and warms;
The life on wings is the life that sings,
Then soar above the storms.

2 On wings of faith mount upward,
Far beyond earthly things,
There is peace that will last
Till thy journey is past,
There is joy for the life on wings. [Chorus]

3 There’s triumph in all trial,
‘Tis the peace that Jesus brings;
O’er the faith-mounted soul
Sorrow has no control,
There is joy for the life on wings. [Chorus]

Hymnal Page Scan: Our Sabbath Home Praise Book 145. Bow down thine ear and hear my call | Hymnary.org

Audio Recording:

1 Bow down Thine ear
And hear my call,
Thou gracious Lord,
My life, my all;
To Thy dear cross
My soul would flee:
Draw me, oh, draw me
Close, close to Thee!

2 One word of love,
One smile of Thine,
Would sweetly calm
This heart of mine,
To Thy dear arms
For strength I flee:
Draw me, oh, draw me
Close, close to Thee!

3 By tempest tossed,
By care oppressed,
I come to Thee,
My ark of rest;
My weary wings
At peace would be:
Draw me, oh, draw me
Close, close to Thee!

4 Thou Rock, where waves
Can never break,
Whose mighty power
No storm can shake,
Be Thou my trust
On life’s dark sea:
Draw me, oh, draw me
Close, close to Thee!

Hymnal Page Scan: Winnowed Hymns: a collection of sacred songs, especially adapted for revivals, prayer and camp meetings 38. Light and comfort of my soul | Hymnary.org

Audio Recording:

1 Light and comfort of my soul,
When the billows o’er me roll:
Thou dost bid me in Thy word,
cast my burden on the Lord,
Jesus, Savior once betrayed,
sacrifice for sinners made;
Wretched, lost, to Thee I fly,
Save, O save me, or I die.

2 Lord, my soul in tears would mourn,
All the anguish Thou hast borne;
In the garden I would be,
Lonely watcher still with Thee.
Thou hast suffered, Thou hast bled,
Thorns have pierced Thy sacred head;
Jesus, while I cling to Thee,
Let Thy sorrow plead for me.

3 Mocked and scourged – condemned to die,
On the cross extended high,
Tenant of the lonely tomb,
Mighty conqu’ror o’er it’s gloom;
Raised victorious God of love,
To Thy Father’s home above,
Grant my soul a place, at last,
Where the storms of life are past.

Audio Recording:

1 When I shall reach the more excellent glory,
And all my trials are passed,
I shall be like Him, O wonderful story!
I shall be like Him at last.

Chorus:
I shall be like Him, I shall be like Him,
And in His beauty shall sine,
I shall be like Him, wondrously like Him,
Jesus, my Saviour divine.

2 We shall not wait till the glorious dawning
Breaks on the vision so fair,
Now we may welcome the heavenly morning,
Now we His image may bear. (Chorus)

3 More and more like Him, repeat the blest story,
Over and over again,
Changed by His Spirit from glory to glory,
I shall be satisfied then. (Chorus)
