  2. Days So Dark Had Been
  3. Deep in My Heart There’s a Glad­ness
  4. God Shall Wipe Away All Tears
  5. He Hold­eth My Life in His Hands
  6. He Took Me In

  8. Now Our Eyes Are Oft­en Dim
  9. Often We Hear from the Sin­ner
  10. Some Day, in Your Heart
  11. There’s Some­one Who Helps Me When Friends Pass
  12. This Is the Day, When Men Fail to Pray
  13. When the Friends of Life Have Failed Me
  14. Why Do I Sing About Je­sus?
