“My Home, Sweet Home”
Walking along life’s road one day,
I heard voice so sweetly say,
“A place up in heav’n I am building Thee,
A beautiful, beautiful home.”
Chorus
Home, sweet home, home, sweet home,
Where I’ll never roam;
I see the light of that city so bright,
My home, sweet home.

“The Mercy of God Is an Ocean Divine” (stanza 1 and refrain)
The mercy of God is an ocean divine,
A boundless and fathomless flood.
Launch out in the deep, cut away the shore line,
And be lost in the fullness of God.
Launch out, into the deep.
Oh let the shore line go.
Launch out, launch out in the ocean divine,
Out [...]

“In the Bleak Midwinter” (stanza 2,3,5)
Our God, Heaven cannot hold Him, nor earth sustain;
Heaven and earth shall flee away when He comes to reign.
In the bleak midwinter a stable place sufficed
The Lord God Almighty, Jesus Christ.
Enough for Him, whom cherubim, worship night and day,
Breastful of milk, and a mangerful of hay;
Enough for Him, whom angels [...]

“There Is a Fountain Filled with Blood”
There is a fountain filled with blood drawn from Emmanuel’s veins;
And sinners plunged beneath that flood lose all their guilty stains.
Lose all their guilty stains, lose all their guilty stains;
And sinners plunged beneath that flood lose all their guilty stains.
The dying thief rejoiced to see that fountain in his [...]

Against the foe in vales below
Let all our strength be hurled.
Faith is the victory, we know,
That overcomes the world.

John Nelson Darby was a British-Irish blooded, Dublin-trained, lawyer who turned Church of Ireland minister and then moved on (1828) to help establish the Plymouth Brethren. He would perhaps be unknown today but for his meeting with eighteen-year-old Margaret MacDonald who is said to have had a vision regarding a “secret rapture” of the church. Though this doctrine has [...]

No light in the darkness you see?

And life more abundant and free!

Look full in His wonderful face,
And the things of earth will grow strangely dim,
In the light of His glory [...]
