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) -
“As Longs the Deer”

Audio Recording:
1 As longs the deer for cooling streams
in parched and barren ways,
so longs my soul, O God, for Thee
and Thy refreshing grace.2 For Thee, my God, the living God,
my thirsty soul doth pine;
O when shall I behold Thy face,
Thou majesty divine?3 Why, restless, why cast down, my soul?
Hope still, and thou shalt sing
the praise of Him who is thy God,
thy health’s eternal spring.4 To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
the God whom we adore,
be glory as it was, is now,
and shall be evermore. -

Audio Recording:
1 As down the stream of time I glide,
The greatest tho’t that comes to me;
Is not of honors, wealth, nor pride,
But what about eternity.
Chorus:
Eternity, (Eternity),
Eternity, (Eternity);
O, soul what of eternity?
Will you, at home, in heaven be thro’out a long eternity?
2 When, in the glory of the night,
The brilliant moon and stars I see;
I rise above them in my flight
And think about eternity. [Chorus]
3 And when I hear the church bells toll
Their sad and mournful melody,
This is my tho’t, another soul
Has reached the great eternity. [Chorus]
4 I want to live each fleeting day
As tho’ it were my last to be;
Then when from earth I pass away,
With God I’ll spend eternity. -

Audio Recording:
1 O what shall I do to be saved?
The gath’ring storm I behold,
Exposed to the wrath of my God;
Is there no sheltering fold,
Is there no sheltering fold?Refrain:
I am the door, by Me if any man enter in,
He shall be saved, he shall be saved;
I am the door, by Me if any man enter in,
He shall be saved, he shall be saved.2 O what shall I do to be saved?
No light, no hope can I see,
No help in myself can I find;
Is there no mercy for me,
Is there no mercy for me? [Refrain]3 O what shall I do to be saved?
So vile, so burdened with sin,
O how to the fold may I come,
How may I enter therein,
How may I enter therein? [Refrain]4 I enter the wide open door,
In Christ I now have believed;
I’m cleansed from my sins by His blood;
I trust, and now I am saved,
I trust, and now I am saved! [Refrain] -

Audio Recording:
10By the grace God has given me, I laid a foundation as a wise builder, and someone else is building on it. But each one should build with care. 11For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ. 12If anyone builds on this foundation using gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay or straw, 13their work will be shown for what it is, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality of each person’s work. 14If what has been built survives, the builder will receive a reward. 15If it is burned up, the builder will suffer loss but yet will be saved—even though only as one escaping through the flames. 1 Corinthians 3:10-15 NIV
1. Building, daily building, while the moments fly,
We are ever building life work for on high!
Character we’re building, thoughts and actions free
Make for us a building for eternity.Refrain
We are building day by day, while the moments pass away,
We are building, ever building;
We are building day by day, while the moments pass away,
We are building for eternity.2. Choosing, as we labor, what we wish to take,
Oh let us be careful for the Master’s sake!
He will help our labor, He will strength bestow;
Let us choose for Jesus all we use below. [Refrain]3. Hay or wood or stubble, we must never use,
Offers of the tempter we must e’er refuse.
Sinful thoughts and actions will not stand the test;
Seeking God’s approval, we must use the best. [Refrain]4. May the Lord approve us! ’Tis our earnest prayer.
Oh, to have our building tall, and strong and fair!
Oh, to live for Jesus! Truly every hour,
Building, praying, trusting in His mighty power! [Refrain] -

Audio Recording:
1 When judgment thunders cloud the sky,
And storms are downward hurled,
The ark of God comes floating by
To save a drowning world.Refrain:
In the ark, in the ark, there is room for you and me,
And a refuge from the overwhelming flood.
’Tis the day of grace, Jesus makes salvation free,
And there’s safety in the ark of God.2 Upon the billows wide and dark,
By raging tempests tossed,
The Savior throws His precious ark
Wide open for the lost. [Refrain]3 I’m lost without, I’m safe within,
To wait I can’t afford;
I enter, and there shuts me in
The love of Christ the Lord. [Refrain]4 The bow of promise spans the sea,
The rolling surges cease;
The heav’nly dove brings back to me
The olive branch of peace. [Refrain] -

Audio Recording:
1 From the gloom of unbelief,
Holy Spirit, hear my cry,
Send to me thy sweet relief,
Send, oh, send it, or I die;
Send the gospel’s light and love,
Send it quickly from above,
Light of blessed hope and joy,
Such as doubt can ne’er destroy.Refrain:
Hallelujah! light comes in;
Hallelujah! free from sin!
Hallelujah! hope and joy
Such as doubt can ne’er destroy.2 Doubt dispelled and faith complete,
Full of hope I travel on;
Solid rock beneath my feet,
Life eternal shall be won!
Spirit, help me on my way,
Spirit, help me ev’ry day;
Then, if doubt or sin assail,
With thy help I shall prevail. [Refrain]3 Glory be to God on high,
to the Father and the Son,
And the Spirit; angels cry,
Worship the Almighty One!
Thus I worship ev’ry day;
Blessed hope comes in to stay,
Peace abides, a joyful guest,
And my soul has perfect rest. [Refrain] -
“All My Life-long I Had Panted” by Clara T. Williams
Hymnal Page Scan: Our Great Redeemer’s Praise page 614 | Hymnary.org
Audio Recording:
1. All my life-long I had panted
For a drink from some clear spring,
That I hoped would quench the burning
Of the thirst I felt within.Refrain:
Hallelujah! I have found Him
Whom my soul so long has craved!
Jesus satisfies my longings,
Through His blood I now am saved.2. Feeding on the husks around me,
Till my strength was almost gone,
Longed my soul for something better,
Only still to hunger on. [Refrain]3. Poor I was, and sought for riches,
Something that would satisfy,
But the dust I gathered round me
Only mocked my soul’s sad cry. [Refrain]4. Well of water, ever springing,
Bread of life so rich and free,
Untold wealth that never faileth,
My Redeemer is to me. [Refrain] -

“Home of the Soul” by Deodotus Dutton
Audio Recording:
1 Oh, where shall the soul find relief from its foes,
A shelter of safety a home of repose?
Can earth’s highest summit or deepest hid vale,
Give a refuge that sorrow cannot assail?
No, no, no! there’s no home! No, no, no! there’s no home!
There’s no home on earth, the soul has no home!2 Shall it leave the low earth and soar to the sky,
And seek for a home in the mansions on high?
In the bright realms of bliss, will a dwelling be given,
And the soul find a home in the glory of heaven?
Yes, yes, yes! there’s a home! Yes, yes, yes! there’s a home!
There’s a home in heaven; the soul has a home!3 Oh, holy and sweet its rest shall be there!
Free forever from sin and from sorrow and care;
And the loud Hallelujah of angels shall rise,
To welcome the soul to its home in the skies.
Home, home, home of the soul! Home, home, home of the soul!
The bosom of God is the home of the soul!
