(Precious mem'ries)

Precious mem'ries unseen angel sent from somewhere to my soul
How they linger ever near me and the sacred past unfolds

Precious mem'ries how they linger how they ever flood my soul
In the stillness of the midnight precious sacred seems unfold
[ piano ]
Precious father loving mother fly across the lonely years
And the old home scenes from my childhood in fond memory appear

Precious mem'ries how they linger...

(Brantley C. George - Bill Walker)

Rock of ages cleft for me let me hide myself in Thee
Let the water and the blood from Thy wounded side which fload
Thee of sin the double cure save from raft and make me pure
[ strings ]
Let me hime myself in Thee
[ strings ]
In my hand no prize I bring simply to Thy cross I cling
[ strings ]
While I draw this pleading breath when my eyes shall close in death
Lord when I rise to world unknown and behold the on Thy throne
Rock of ages cleft for me let me hime myself in Thee

(George Bernard)

On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross the emblem of suffering and shame
And I love that old cross where the dearest and best
For a word of lost sinners was slain

So I'll cherish the old rugged cross till my trophies at last I lay down
I will cling to the old rugged cross and exchange it some day for a crown

To the old rugged cross I will ever be true it's shame and reproach gladly bear
Then he'll call me some day to my home far away where his glory forever I'll
share

So I'll cherish the old rugged cross...

(Will L. Thompson - Eugene Clark)

Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling calling for you and for me
See on the portal he's waiting and watching watching for you and for me

Come home come home ya who are weary come home
Earnestly tenderly Jesus is calling calling oh sinner come home
[ horns ]
Oh for the wonderful love he has promised promised for you and for me
Though we have sinn'd he has mercy and pardon pardon for you and for me

There are places I'll remember
All my life
Though some have changed
Some forever
Not for better
Some have gone and some remain
All these places had their moments
With lovers and friends
I still can recall
Some are dead and some are living
In my life
I've loved them all

But of all these friends and lovers
There is no one
Compares with you
And these memories
Lose their meaning
When I think of love
As something new

Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life
I love you more

Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life
I love you more
In my life
I love you more

(Charlotte Elliott - William Bradbury - Bill Walker)

Just as I am without one plea but that Thy blood was shed for me
And that Thou bid'st me come to Thee oh lamb of God I come I come
[ strings ]
Just as I am and waiting not to rid my soul of one dark blot
To Thee who's blood can cleanse each spot oh lamb of God I come I come

Just as I am Lord Thou tossed about with many a conflict and many a doubt
Fightings fears within and without oh lamb of God I come I come

Just as I am Thou wilt receive will dwell come pardon cleanse relieve

(W.B. Stevens - Jesse R. Baxter)

Tempted and tried we're oft made to wonder why it should be thus all the day
long
While there are others living about us never molested though in the wrong

Farther along we'll know all about it farther along we'll understand why
Cheer up my brother live in the sunshine we'll understand it all by and by
[ strings ]
When we see Jesus coming in glory when he comes from his home in the sky
Then we shall meet him in that bright mansion we'll understand it all by and by

Opening Introduction (Spoken part)

And I heard as it were the noise of thunder
One of the four beasts saying come and see and I saw
And behold a white horse
Song
There's a man going around taking names and he decides
Who to free and who to blame every body won't be treated
All the same there will be a golden ladder reaching down
When the man comes around

The hairs on your arm will stand up at the terror in each
Sip and each sup will you partake of that last offered cup
Or disappear into the potter's ground
When the man comes around
CHOURS
Hear the trumpets hear the pipers one hundred million angels singing
Multitudes are marching to the big kettledrum
Voices calling and voices crying
Some are born and some are dying
Its alpha and omega's kingdom come
And the whirlwind is in the thorn tree
The virgins are all trimming their wicks
The whirlwind is in the thorn tree
It's hard for thee to kick against the pricks
Till Armageddon no shalam no shalom

Then the father hen will call his chickens home
The wise man will bow down before the throne and at his feet
They will cast the golden crowns
When the man comes around

Whoever is unjust let him be unjust to
Whoever is righteous let him be righteous to
Whoever is filthy let him be filthy still
Listen to the words long written down
When the man comes around
CHOURS
Hear the trumpets hear the pipers one hundred million angels singing
Multitudes are marching to the big kettledrum
Voices calling, voices crying
Some are born and some are dying
Its alpha and omega's kingdom come
And the whirlwind is in the thorn tree
The virgins are all trimming their wicks
The whirlwind is in the thorn tree
It's hard for thee to kick against the pricks
In measured hundred weight and penny pound
When the man comes around
Close (Spoken part)
And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts
And I looked and behold, a pale horse
And it's name it said on him was Death
And Hell followed with him.

(John Newton - Bill Walker)

Amazing grace how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me
I once was lost but now I'm found was blind but now I see
Twas grace that taught my heart to fear and grace my fears relived
How precious did that grace appear the hours I first believed
When we've been there ten thousand years bright shining as the sun

(Ralph C. Hudson - Isaac Watts)

Alas and did Saviour bleed and did my sov'reign die
Would he devote that sacred head for such a worm as I

At the cross at the cross where I first saw the light
And the burden of my heart rolled away
It was there by faith I received my sight and now I am happy all the day
[ horns ]
Was it for crimes that I have done he groaned upon the tree
Amazing pity grace unknown and love beyond degree

At the cross at the cross...
[ horns ]
But drops of grief cannot repay the debt of love I owe
Here Lord I give myself away it's all that I can do

At the cross at the cross...

(George C. Stebbins - Adelaide A. Pollard - Bill Walker)

Have Thine own way Lord have Thine own way Thou art the potter I am the clay
Mould me and make me after Thy will while I am waiting you did and still

Have Thine own way Lord have Thine own way search me and try me Master today
Whiter than snow Lord wash me just now as in Thy presence humbly I bow

Have Thine own way Lord have Thine own way hold oe'r my being absolute sway
