Turn Your Eyes upon Jesus
Helen H. Lemmel, 1922
O soul, are you weary and troubled?
No light in the darkness you see? There’s light for a look at the Savior, And life more abundant and free! Refrain: Turn your eyes upon Jesus, Look full in His wonderful face, And the things of earth will grow strangely dim, In the light of His glory and grace. Through death into life everlasting He passed, and we follow Him there; O’er us sin no more hath dominion-- For more than conqu’rors we are! His Word shall not fail you—He promised; Believe Him, and all will be well: Then go to a world that is dying, His perfect salvation to tell! 
I must tell Jesus all of my trials,
I cannot bear these burdens alone; In my distress He kindly will help me, He ever loves and cares for His own. Refrain: I must tell Jesus! I must tell Jesus! I cannot bear my burdens alone; I must tell Jesus! I must tell Jesus! Jesus can help me, Jesus alone. I must tell Jesus all of my troubles, He is a kind, compassionate Friend; If I but ask Him He will deliver, Make of my troubles quickly an end. Tempted and tried I need a great Savior, One who can help my burdens to bear; I must tell Jesus, I must tell Jesus: He all my cares and sorrows will share. What must I do when worldliness calls me? What must I do when tempted to sin? I must tell Jesus, and He will help me Over the world the vict’ry to win. Elisha A. Hoffman, 1893 
It Is Well with My Soul
"Praise ye the Lord. Praise the Lord, O my soul" (Psalm 146:1).
When peace, like a river, attendeth my way, When sorrows like sea billows roll; Whatever my lot, Thou hast taught me to say, It is well, it is well with my soul. Refrain: It is well with my soul, It is well, it is well with my soul. Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come, Let this blest assurance control, That Christ hath regarded my helpless estate, And hath shed His own blood for my soul. My sin—oh, the bliss of this glorious thought!-- My sin, not in part but the whole, Is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more, Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul! And Lord, haste the day when the faith shall be sight, The clouds be rolled back as a scroll; The trump shall resound, and the Lord shall descend, Even so, it is well with my soul. 
Softly and Tenderly
"Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness" (Heb. 3:7-8).
Author: William L. Thompson, 1847-1909
Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling,
Calling for you and for me; See, on the portals He's waiting and watching, Watching for you and for me. Refrain: Come home, come home; Ye who are weary, come home; Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling, Calling, "O sinner, come home!" Why should we tarry when Jesus is pleading, Pleading for you and for me? Why should we linger and heed not His mercies, Mercies for you and for me? Time is now fleeting, the moments are passing, Passing from you and from me; Shadows are gathering, death-beds are coming, Coming for you and for me. O for the wonderful love He has promised, Promised for you and for me; Though we have sinned He has mercy and pardon, Pardon for you and for me. Are You Washed In the Blood?
"And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb" (Rev. 7:14).
Author: Elisha A. Hoffman, 1839-1929
Have you been to Jesus for the the cleansing pow'r?
Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb? Are you fully trusting in His grace this hour? Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb? Refrain: Are you washed in the blood, In the soul-cleansing blood of the Lamb? Are your garments spotless? are they white as snow? Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb? Are you walking daily by the the Saviour's side? Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb? Do you rest each moment in the Crucified? Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb? When the Bridegroom cometh, will your your robes be white, Pure and white in the blood of the Lamb? Will your soul be ready for the mansions bright, And be washed in the blood of the Lamb? Lay aside the garments that are are stained by sin, And be washed in the blood of the Lamb; There's a fountain flowing for the soul unclean, O be washed in the blood of the Lamb!
