Lyrics

  1. As I Go Wan­der­ing Along
  2. As You Make the Trip from Earth to Hea­ven
  3. Empty Hands
  4. Forever and Ev­er God’s Word Shall En­dure
  5. God Has a Plan for Eve­ry Man and Nation
  6. Have You a Heart­ache Too Hard to Bear?
  7. Here I La­bor and Toil in a World of Des­pair
  8. Here on Earth You May Talk and Brag
  9. I Have Read About a Time in a Land
  10. I Know a St­ory Come from Glo­ry
  11. I Love to Think About the Home­land
  12. I Once Was Lost in Sin
  13. I Remember the Church of My Child­hood
  14. If I Had a Thou­sand Ton­gues to Sing
  15. If I Were Wan­der­ing in the Paths of Sin
  16. I’ll Keep Walk­ing with Je­sus
  17. I’m in the Ar­my of the Lord
  18. In the House of the Lord
  19. It’s a Love­ly Name
  20. I’ve a Long­ing in My Heart for Hea­ven
  21. Like a Guard­ian An­gel Al­ways Watch­ing ov­er Me
  22. Long I Had Wan­dered in Sin and Shame
  23. My All to the Sav­ior
  24. My Heart Was Full, Full of Des­pair
  25. O Christ, Whose Love Hast Sought Us Out
  26. O the Name of Him Who Died
  27. Often Be­low We Have Seen Pain and Woe
  28. Often Times It Seems My Joy I’d Lose
  29. Once I Walked in Paths of Sin
  30. Some Glad Day There Will Be No More Sigh­ing
  31. Some Glad Day This Life Will Be Ov­er
  32. Some of These Days
  33. There Is a Joy Ov­er­flow­ing
  34. There’s a God Who Knows All About Me
  35. There’s a Love­ly Coun­try Where Saints Shall Nev­er Grow Old
  36. Though a Host Should Camp Against Me
  37. Touch of the Hand of My Won­der­ful Lord, A
  38. Wait Till You See Me in My New Home
  39. We Are Am­bas­sa­dors for Christ
  40. What a Joy It Is to Know
  41. When My Eyes Are Blind­ed Here
  42. When You Get to Hea­ven You’ll Start Your Life Anew
  43. When You Walk a Lone­some Road
  44. When You’re Bur­dened with Sor­row
  45. You May Talk About Your Grand Amuse­ments
