We shall be left at the rear
Far in the back
We shall be left at the rear
Far in the back

We shall be left at the rear
Far in the back.
The Lord is moving, by His Spirit in our days
His Spirit outpouring, for end time revival
The Lord is touching; shaking everywhere. {Refrain}
The Lord is working, mighty works in these days
The Spirit works wonders, powerful in all nations
Jesus is reigning, He’s the Lord overall. {Refrain}

Several jest His wonders; many scorn with no faith
They shall be left at the rear, far in the back {Refrain}

This is the promise of love;
There shall be seasons refreshing
Sent from the Savior above.

Showers of blessing we need:
Mercy drops round us are falling,
But for the showers we plead.
There shall be showers of blessing,
Precious reviving again;
Over the hills and the valleys,
Sound of abundance of rain. {Refrain}
There shall be showers of blessing;
Send them upon us, O Lord;
Grant to us now a refreshing,
Come, and now honor Thy Word. {Refrain}
There shall be showers of blessing:
Oh, that today they might fall,
Now as to God we’re confessing,
Now as on Jesus we call! {Refrain}

If we but trust and obey;
There shall be seasons refreshing,
If we let God have His way. {Refrain}
87. ONWARD, CHRISTIAN SOLDIERS
Sabine Baring-Gould, 1865
Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war,
With the cross of Jesus going on before.
Christ, the royal Master, leads against the foe;
Forward into battle see His banners go!
Refrain:
Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war,
With the cross of Jesus going on before.
At the sign of triumph Satan’s host doth flee;
On then, Christian soldiers, on to victory!
Hell’s foundations quiver at the shout of praise;
Brothers, lift your voices, loud your anthems raise. {Refrain}
Like a mighty army moves the church of God;
Brothers, we are treading where the saints have trod.
We are not divided, all one body we,
One in hope and doctrine, one in charity. {Refrain}
Crowns and thrones may perish, kingdoms rise and wane,
But the church of Jesus constant will remain.
Gates of hell can never ’gainst that church prevail;
We have Christ’s own promise, and that cannot fail. {Refrain}
Onward then, ye people, join our happy throng,
Blend with ours your voices in the triumph song.
Glory, laud, and honor unto Christ the King,
This through countless ages men and angels sing. {Refrain}
88. STAND UP, STAND UP FOR JESUS
George Duffield
Stand up, stand up for Jesus,
Ye soldiers of the cross;
Lift high his royal banner,
It must not suffer loss.
From victory unto victory
His army shall he lead,
Till every foe is vanquished,
And Christ is Lord indeed.
Stand up, stand up for Jesus,
The trumpet calls obey;
Forth to the mighty conflict,
In this his glorious day.
Ye that are brave now serve him
Against unnumbered foes;
Let courage rise with danger,
And strength to strength oppose.
Stand up, stand up for Jesus,
Stand in his strength alone;
The arm of flesh will fail you,
Ye dare not trust your own.
Put on the gospel armor,
Each piece put on with prayer;
Where duty calls or danger,
Be never wanting there.
Stand up, stand up for Jesus,
The strife will not be long;
This day the noise of battle,
The next the victor's song.
To those who vanquish evil
A crown of life shall be;
They with the King of Glory
Shall reign eternally.
89. BRINGING IN THE SHEAVES
Knowles Shaw, 1874
Sowing in the morning, sowing seeds of kindness,
Sowing in the noontide and the dewy eve;
Waiting for the harvest, and the time of reaping,
We shall come rejoicing, bringing in the sheaves.
Refrain:
Bringing in the sheaves, bringing in the sheaves,
We shall come rejoicing, bringing in the sheaves;
Bringing in the sheaves, bringing in the sheaves,
We shall come rejoicing, bringing in the sheaves.
Sowing in the sunshine, sowing in the shadows,
Fearing neither clouds nor winter’s chilling breeze;
By and by the harvest, and the labor ended,
We shall come rejoicing, bringing in the sheaves. {Refrain}
Going forth with weeping, sowing for the Master,
Though the loss sustained our sp
irit often grieves;
When our weeping’s over, He will bid us welcome,
We shall come rejoicing, bringing in the sheaves. {Refrain}
90. WORK, FOR THE NIGHT IS COMING
Anna L. Coghill, 1854,
Work, for the night is coming,
Work through the morning hours;
Work while the dew is sparkling,
Work ’mid springing flowers;
Work when the day grows brighter,
Work in the glowing sun;
Work, for the night is coming,
When man’s work is done.
Work, for the night is coming,
Work through the sunny noon;
Fill brightest hours with labor,
Rest comes sure and soon.
Give every flying minute,
Something to keep in store;
Work, for the night is coming,
When man works no more.
Work, for the night is coming,
Under the sunset skies;
While their bright tints are glowing,
Work, for daylight flies.
Work till the last beam fadeth,
Fadeth to shine no more;
Work, while the night is darkening,
When man’s work is o’er.
91. PREACH TO THE WORLD
John B. Joseph, 1986
Preach to the world, gospel of salvation
Those that believe, surely shall be saved
They shall be condemned, those who believe not;
Do not fear. For I am with thee
Refrain:
Ye shall be my witnesses, to all the world
Ye shall be my witnesses, to all the world
When the power, of the Holy Ghost
Has come upon thee,
Ye shall be my witnesses, to all the world
In my name shall ye cast out devils
Ye shall speak with new tongues
Ye shall lay hands on the sick
In my name they shall recover. {Refrain}
In my name, ye shall take up serpents
If ye shall drink any deadly things
In my name, conquerors are you
In my name, there is salvation. {Refrain}
Blessed are ye, if ye be my witnesses
If ye obey, ye must take your cross
He that rejects you; rejects me
He that heareth you, heareth my Father. {Refrain}
92. BE OCCUPIED FOR THE LORD
Refrain:
Be occupied for the Lord
Be occupied for Jesus
Be occupied for the Lord
You shall be rewarded
You may not be able, to be singing as we do
You may be that man, backing us with prayer
The Lord is reckoning, with your praying duty {Refrain}
You may not be able, to be praying as others;
You may be that one, bringing people to the Lord
Your God rejoices, at your labor of faith. {Refrain}
You may not be able, to be teaching as we do,
You may be that one, cleaning the house of the Lord
And God is reckoning, with that cleaning work. {Refrain}
You may not be able, to be leading as others
You may be that man, backing us with resources
Our God is reckoning, with your labor of love. {Refrain}
93. SEND THE LIGHT
Charles H. Gabriel
There’s a call comes ringing o’er the restless wave,
“Send the light! Send the light!”
There are souls to rescue, there are souls to save,
Send the light! Send the light!
Refrain:
Send the light, the blessed Gospel light;
Let it shine from shore to shore!
Send the light, the blessed Gospel light;
Let it shine forevermore!
We have heard the Macedonian call today,
“Send the light! Send the light!”
And a golden off’ring at the cross we lay,
Send the light! Send the light!
Let us pray that grace may everywhere abound,
“Send the light! Send the light!”
And a Christlike spirit everywhere be found,
Send the light! Send the light!
Let us not grow weary in the work of love,
“Send the light! Send the light!”
Let us gather jewels for a crown above,
Send the light! Send the light!
94. MUST I GO, AND EMPTY-HANDED?
By Charles C. Luther
“Must I go, and empty-handed,”
Thus my dear Redeemer meet?
Not one day of service give Him,
Lay no trophy at His feet?
Refrain:
“Must I go, and empty-handed?”
Must I meet my Savior so?
Not one soul with which to greet Him,
Must I empty-handed go?
Not at death I shrink or falter,
For my Savior saves me now;
But to meet Him empty-handed,
Thought of that now clouds my brow. {Refrain}
Oh, the years in sinning wasted,
Could I but recall them now,
I would give them to my Savior,
To His will I’d gladly bow. {Refrain}
Oh, ye saints, arouse, be earnest,
Up and work while yet ’tis day;
Ere the night of death o’ertake thee,
Strive for souls while still you may. {Refrain}
95. WHERE WILL YOU SPEND ETERNITY?
By Elisha A. Hoffman
Where will you spend eternity?
This question comes to you and me!
Tell me, what shall your answer be?
Where will you spend eternity?
Refrain:
Eternity! Eternity!
Where will you spend eternity?
Eternity! Eternity!
Where will you spend eternity?
Many are choosing Christ today,
Turning from all their sins away;
Heav’n shall their happy portion be;
Where will you spend eternity?
Eternity! Eternity!
Where will you spend eternity? {Refrain}
Leaving the straight and narrow way,
Going the downward road today,
Sad will their final ending be,
Lost thro’ a long eternity!
Eternity! Eternity!
Lost thro’ a long eternity! {Refrain}
Repent, believe, this very hour,
Trust in the Savior’s grace and power,
Then will your joyous answer be,
Saved thro’ a long eternity!
Eternity! Eternity!
Saved thro’ a long eternity!
96. HOT FOR SINNERS
By John Joseph, 1990
Should they failed to accept Jesus
Should they failed to take the gospel
Solo: {Hot for sinners}
Refrain
Hell will be hot for sinners-
Hell will be hot for them -
Hell will be hot for sinners
Should they died without the Savior
We’ve preached the gospel to you, all day long
That sinners when they died shall be thrown to condemnation
Yet you linger, linger in your sins
If you die without the Savior, hell will be hot for you. {Refrain}
We sing the gospel to you, everyday -
That sinners can be free, if they come to Jesus the Lord
Yet you keep on moving in your sin,
If you die without the Savior, hell will be hot for you. {Refrain}
We read the tidings to you; often times
That Jesus is the hope; Jesus is the Author of life,
Yet you keep on wasting in your sin
If you die without the Savior, hell will be hot for you. {Refrain}
You’v
e heard the gospel message - all the way
That heaven is for saints; hell fire meant for sinners
Yet you keep on roving in your sin
If you die without the Savior, hell will be hot for you. {Refrain}

Shall we meet beyond the river?

When our stormy voyage is o’er?

By the fair, celestial shore? {Refrain}

Where the towers or crystal shine?
Where the walls are all of jasper,

Fanny Crosby, 1876.

Whether it be noon or night,
Faithful to Him will He find us watching,
With our lamps all trimmed and bright?

O can we say we are ready, brother?
Ready for the soul’s bright home?
Say, will He find you and me still watching,
Waiting, waiting when the Lord shall come?

He shall call us one by one,
When to the Lord we restore our talents,
Will He answer thee—“Well done”? {Refrain}

Do we seek to do our best?
If in our hearts there is naught condemns us,
We shall have a glorious rest. {Refrain}

In His glory they shall share;
If He shall come at the dawn or midnight,
Will He find us watching there? {Refrain}

To give to everyone according as his work shall be

101. I'LL FLY AWAY
Albert E. Brumley, 1929,
Some glad morning when this life is o'er,
I'll fly away;
To a home on God's celestial shore,
I'll fly away (I'll fly away).
Chorus
I'll fly away, Oh Glory
I'll fly away; (in the morning)
When I die, Hallelujah, by and by,
I'll fly away (I'll fly away).
When the shadows of this life have gone,
I'll fly away;
Like a bird from prison bars has flown,
I'll fly away (I'll fly away) {Chorus}
Just a few more weary days and then,
I'll fly away;
To a land where joy shall never end,
I'll fly away (I'll fly away) {Chorus}
102. WHEN THE ROLL IS CALLED UP YONDER
By James M. Black, 1893

And the morning breaks, eternal, bright and fair;
When the saved of earth shall gather over on the other shore,
And the roll is called up yonder, I’ll be there.
Refrain
When the roll is called up yonder,
When the roll is called up yonder,
When the roll is called up yonder,
When the roll is called up yonder, I’ll be there.

And the glory of His resurrection share;
When His chosen ones shall gather to their home beyond the skies,
And the roll is called up yonder, I’ll be there. {Refrain}
Let us labor for the Master from the dawn till setting sun,
Let us talk of all His wondrous love and care;
Then when all of life is over, and our work on earth is done,
And the roll is called up yonder, I’ll be there. {Refrain}
103. THERE’S A LAND THAT IS FAIRER

And by faith we can see it afar;
For the Father waits over the way,
To prepare us a dwelling-place there.
Refrain:
In the sweet by and by
We shall meet on that beautiful shore;
In the sweet by and by
We shall meet on that beautiful shore.
We shall sing on that beautiful shore
The melodious songs of the blessed;
And our spirits shall sorrow no more,
Not a sigh for the blessing of rest. {Refrain}

We will offer our tribute of praise,
For the glorious gift of His love,
And the blessings that hallow our days. {Refrain}
104. THIS WORLD IS NOT MY HOME
By Albert E. Brumley

And I can't feel at home in thi
s world anymore.
Refrain:
O Lord, you know I have no friend like you
If Heaven's not my home, then Lord what will I do?
The angels beckon me from Heaven's open door
And I can't feel at home in this world anymore.
They're all expecting me and that's one thing I know
My Savior pardoned me and now I onward go
I know He'll take me through
Though I am weak and poor. {Refrain}
Just up in glory land we'll live eternally
The Saints on every hand are shouting victory
Their song of sweetest praise drifts back from Heaven's shore
And I can't feel at home in this world anymore. {Refrain}
