Were you there
Were you there when they crucified my Lord?
Were you there when they crucified my Lord?
Oh! Sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble,
Were you there when they crucified my Lord?


Were you there when they nailed him to the tree?
Were you there when they nailed him to the tree?
Oh! Sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble,
Were you there when they nailed him to the tree?


Were you there when they pierced him in the side?
Were you there when they pierced him in the side?
Oh! Sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble,
Were you there when they pierced him in the side?


Were you there when the sun refused to shine?
Were you there when the sun refused to shine?
Oh! Sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble,
Were you there when the sun refused to shine?


Were you there when they laid him in the tomb?
Were you there when they laid him in the tomb?
Oh! Sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble,
Were you there when they laid him in the tomb?


Were you there when they rolled the stone away?
Were you there when they rolled the stone away?
Oh! Sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble,
Were you there when they rolled the stone away?

Don't be weary, traveler
Don't be weary, traveler,
Come along home to Jesus;
Don't be weary, traveler,
Come along home to Jesus.

My head got wet with the midnight dew,
Come along home to Jesus;
Angels bear me witness too,
Come along home to Jesus.

And where to go I did not know,
Come along home to Jesus;
Ever since he freed my soul,
Come along home to Jesus.
refrain

I look at de worl' and de worl' look new,
Come along home to Jesus;
He has called me, it is true,
Come along home to Jesus.

Every round goes higher and higher
Every round goes higher and higher
Surely he died on Calvary.

Amen Amen! see Him at the temple
Amen. Amen.
Amen, amen, amen. 


See Him at the temple, talking with the elders

Who marvel at His wisdom.

See Him at the seaside, fishermen he’s catching

And making them disciples.

Marching in the City, over palm branches 

In pomp and splendor!

See Him in the garden, praying to His Father
In deepest sorrow.

Tried by Pilate, then they crucified Him
but He rose on Easter!

Amen. Amen.
Amen, amen, amen.

In Christ there is no East or West
In Christ there is no east or west,
In him no south or north,
But one great family bound by love
Throughout the whole wide earth.

2. In him shall true hearts everywhere
Their high communion find;
His service is the golden cord
Close-binding humankind.

3. Join hands, disciples in the faith,
Whatever your race may be!
Who serve each other in Christ's love
Are surely kin to me.

4. In Christ now meet both east and west,
In him meet south and north,
All Christly souls are one in him,
Throughout the whole wide earth.

Steal away
Steal away, steal away, steal away to Jesus!
Steal away, steal away home, I ain't got long to stay here.
My Lord, he calls me, He calls me by the lightning;
The trumpet sounds within my soul; I ain't got long to stay here.

Steal away, steal away, steal away to Jesus!
Steal a-way, steal a-way home, I ain't got long to stay here.
Green trees are bending, Poor sinners stand a-trembling;
The trumpet sounds within my soul; I ain't got long to stay here.

Steal away, steal away, steal away to Jesus!
Steal away, steal away home, I ain't got long to stay here.
My Lord, he calls me, He calls me by the thunder;
The trumpet sounds within my soul; I ain't got long to stay here.

Steal away, steal away, steal away to Jesus!
Steal away, steal away home, I ain't got long to stay here.

Jesus Walked this Lonesome Valley
Jesus walked this lonesome valley;
He had to walk it by himself.
Oh, nobody else could walk it for him;
He had to walk it by himself.

We must walk this lonesome valley;
We have to walk it by ourselves.
Oh, nobody else can walk it for us;
We have to walk it by ourselves.

You must go and stand your trial;
You have to stand it by yourself.
Oh, nobody else can stand it for you;
You have to stand it by yourself.

Come, ye sinners
Come, ye sinners, poor and needy,
Weak and wounded, sick and sore;
Jesus ready stands to save you,
Full of pity, love, and pow'r.
I will arise and go to Jesus,
He will embrace me in His arms;
In the arms of my dear Savior,
O there are ten thousand charms.

2. Come, ye thirsty, come, and welcome,
God's free bounty glorify;
True belief and true repentance,
Ev’ry grace that brings you nigh.
I will arise and go to Jesus,
He will embrace me in His arms;
In the arms of my dear Savior,
O there are ten thousand charms.

3. Come, ye weary, heavy-laden,
Lost and ruined by the fall;
If you tarry till you're better,
You will never come at all.
I will arise and go to Jesus,
He will embrace me in His arms;
In the arms of my dear Savior,
O there are ten thousand charms.

4. Let not conscience make you linger,
Nor of fitness fondly dream;
All the fitness He requires
Is to feel your need of Him.
I will arise and go to Jesus,
He will embrace me in His arms;
In the arms of my dear Savior,
O there are ten thousand charms.

Let us break bread together
Let us break bread together on our knees;
Let us break bread together on our knees;
When I fall on my knees,
With my face to the rising sun,
O Lord, have mercy on me.

Let us drink wine together on our knees;
Let us drink wine together on our knees;
When I fall on my knees,
With my face to the rising sun,
O Lord, have mercy on me.

Let us praise God together on our knees;
Let us praise God together on our knees;
When I fall on my knees,
With my face to the rising sun,
O Lord, have mercy on me.
