Salt River Male Chorus

Music Day, Quarter 1-2013 23 February, 2013

Come, come ye Saints

Come, come ye Saints

Come, come, ye saints, no toil nor labor fear;
But with joy wend your way. Though hard to you this journey may appear,

Grace shall be as your day.

Tis better far for us to strive Our useless cares from us to drive; Do this, and joy your hearts will swell All is well! All is well!

Come, come ye Saints

Why should we mourn or think our lot is hard?
'Tis not so; all is right. Why should we think to earn a great reward

If we now shun the fight?

Gird up your loins; fresh courage take. Our God will never us forsake; And soon we'll have this tale to tellAll is well! All is well!

Come, come ye Saints

We'll find the place which God for us prepared,
Far away, in the West, Where none shall come to hurt or make afraid;

There the saints, will be blessed.

We'll make the air, with music ring, Shout praises to our God and King; Above the rest these words we'll tell All is well! All is well!

Come, come ye Saints

And should we die before our journey's through,
Happy day! All is well! We then are free from toil and sorrow, too;

With the just we shall dwell!

But if our lives are spared again To see the Saints their rest obtain, Oh, how we'll make this chorus swellAll is well! All is well!

Beyond the clouds

Beyond the clouds

The end of time is nearing,
Were getting closer to the judgement day. We have no promise of tomorrow,

So friend get right today.

Just life your face towards Heaven, Well live beyond the clouds. In the land where theres no darkness, Well lay our heavy burdens down!

Beyond the clouds

Others: Bass: Ill sit at my Saviours feet

Others: Hallelujah, its gonna be sweet

Others: Ill put on my robe and shoes Bass: Ill shake hands with Jesus too All: Then Ill search all over Heaven for you

Beyond the clouds

Just soon well see the Lord come
Just as they saw Him go Hell come in clouds of glory

With Angels on His side

The trump of God will then sound To wake the sleeping Saints Ill rise and shine in glory To share eternal joy

Beyond the clouds

We never forget to ask

We never forget to ask

We never forget to say Give me
When needy how often we plead But how oft we forget to say, Thank you

When the Lord has supplied every need

We never forget to ask

It seems that we only say, Thank you
(1st-say, Thank you) Each time that thanksgiving draws near

But how often we always say, give me

And Thank you just one time a year

We never forget
We never forget to say Help me
In trouble how quickly we pray But how often we forget to say Thank you

When Hes chased all our troubles away

We never forget to ask

We never forget to say spare me
From sorrow, and sickness and tears But how oft we forget to say Thank you

To the one who has kept through the years
