Poetry About Jesus and Salvation 

Eliza Hewitt - Page 5

LET THE JOY OVERFLOW

There's a clear fountain flowing

From the bright throne above,

And its waters are glowing

With the sunshine of love;

Take the blest consolation,

Which the Lord will bestow,

Take the cup of salvation --

Let the joy overflow.

O the joy! With this wondrous salvation

Be our hearts all aglow;

O the joy! Let the blessing run over,

And joy overflow.

Many hearts need the story --

Are athirst for His grace;

Go to them with His glory

Shining out from your face;

Tell of Jesus your Savior!

If His mercies you know,

Show the light of His favor --

Let the joy overflow.

Refrain

Be our lives freely yielded to the Savior's command;

By His care ever shielded

And upheld by His hand;

In the pathways of sadness,

Sweetest lilies may grow;

Let us sow seeds of gladness --

Let the joy overflow.

Refrain

IN A LITTLE WHILE WE'RE GOING HOME

Let us sing a song that will cheer us by the way,

In a little while we're going home;

For the night will end in the everlasting day,

In a little while we're going home.

In a little while, in a little while,

We shall cross the billow's foam;

We shall meet at last,

When the stormy winds are past,

In a little while we're going home.

We will do the work that our hands may find to do,

In a little while we're going home;

And the grace of God will our daily strength renew,

In a little while we're going home.

Refrain

We will smooth the path for some weary, way-worn feet,

In a little while we're going home;

And may loving hearts spread around an influence sweet!

In a little while we're going home.

Refrain

There's a rest beyond, there's relief from every care,

In a little while we're going home;

And no tears shall fall in that city bright and fair,

In a little while we're going home.

Refrain

CARRY THE LIGHT

Many in darkness are far astray,

Carry the light, carry the light,

Spreading the beams of the Gospel day,

Carry the beautiful light;

Tell them the gift of the Father's love,

How the dear Savior He gave;

Tell them of mercy that smiles above,

Jesus almighty to save!

Light! light! beautiful light!

Streaming from Heaven's fair height;

Living for Jesus, our precious Savior,

Carry the beautiful light.

Let us unite in this best employ,

Carry the light, carry the light;

Tell the good news of salvation's joy

Carry the beautiful light.

Singing of Jesus, our songs are bright,

Bright with the blessing He brings;

Helping to scatter the shades of night.

Sing of the Lord's healing wings.

Refrain

Living for Jesus, we'll work and pray,

Carry the light, carry the light;

Walking with Him in the shining way,

Carry the beautiful light;

O' there's a glory that fills the heart,

Sunshine of pardon and peace;

Let us the secret to all impart,

Helping the kingdom's increase.

Refrain

Clearer and clearer the dayspring glows,

Carry the light, carry the light;

Brighter and brighter the morning grows,

Carry the beautiful light.

Jesus is coming in wondrous might,

Coming in splendor to reign;

Sorrow and sighing shall take their flight,

Eden shall blossom again.

Refrain

ALL OVER THE WORLD

Bear the good tidings all over the world,

Let the bright banner of love be unfurled,

Wherever sorrow and sin shall be found,

There let the news of salvation resound.

All over the world,

All over the world,

Let the bright banner of love be unfurled,

All over the world.

Plant in the wilderness Sharon's sweet rose,

Blessing will follow wherever it goes;

Led, onward led by the Lord's guiding hand,

Open "fresh springs" in the dry, thirsty land.

Refrain

Think of the millions who never have heard

One precious promise from God's holy Word;

Think of the lives marred and darkened by sin,

Tell them the story that brings light within.

Refrain

Oh, what a song shall in Heaven be sung!

By every nation and kindred and tongue;

Some may be there through our efforts and prayer,

Joy everlasting together we'll share.

Refrain

GOOD NEWS

Good news! good news of a soul redeemed,

A penitent forgiven!

Good news! good news that another friend

Is on the way to Heaven!

Rejoice! rejoice! there's joy today

In the land beyond the river;

Another gem for His diadem,

A star to shine forever.

Good news! good news that another heart

Has learned redemption's story;

Good news! good news that another voice

Will sing His praise in glory.

Refrain

Good news! good news that another life

Will show the power of Jesus,

Will prove the might of the saving grace

Which daily, hourly frees us.

Refrain

Good news! good news that another hand

Will precious seed be sowing,

Another guide to lead straying feet

Where living streams are flowing.

Refrain

SAFE IN THE SHEPHERD'S CARE

Though beneath the drifting snow,

Summer flow'rs have been laid low,

I am safe in the tender Shepherd's care;

Tho' the sunbeams hide away,

On the dark and cloudy day,

I am safe in the tender Shepherd's care.

Safe, in the tender Shepherd's care,

Safe on His bosom He will bear

Those who trust His mighty love,

Bear them to the land above,

Safe in the Shepherd's tender care.

In green pastures I'll be fed,

By the quiet waters led,

I am safe in the tender Shepherd's care;

He will guide me to the fold,

Sheltered from the wintry cold,

I am safe in the tender Shepherd's care.

Refrain

Through the valley dark and deep,

He will comfort, He will keep,

I am safe in the tender Shepherd's care;

Happy in His saving grace,

Till I see His blessed face,

I am safe in the tender Shepherd's care.

Refrain

THE HAPPY CROWNING DAY

There's an hour which no man knoweth,

Nor the angels round the throne,

When the Lord shall come in glory from the sky;

All the saints shall rise to meet Him,

For He calleth for his own;

They shall hear the trumpet sounding by and by.

Are you ready? ready?

Looking for the King?

Ready, while you labor, watch and pray?

Are you ready? ready?

Looking for the King?

Ready for the happy crowning day?

What a blessed transformation,

In the twinkling of an eye,

When the mortal shall immortal life put on!

Those who love Him shall be like Him,

When He cometh from on high,

At the noontide, at the midnight, or at dawn.

Refrain

Though our sins have been as scarlet,

Let us seek the streams that flow

From the cross that rose on Calv'ry's rugged height;

He is able still to keep us,

And present us white as snow,

When He comes again, as clouds of dazzling light.
