Hymn For Today

I could not do without Thee
O Saviour of the lost
Whose precious Blood redeemed me
At such tremendous cost
They righteousness, Thy pardon
They precious Blood must be
My only hope and comfort
My glory and my plea

I could not do without Thee
I cannot stand alone
I have no strength or goodness
No wisdom of my own
But Thou Beloved Saviour
Art all in all to me
And weakness will be power
If leaning hard on Thee

I could not do without Thee
For oh, the way is long
And I am often weary
And sigh replaces song
How could I do without Thee
I do not know the way
Thou knowest and Thou leadest
And wilt not let me stray

I could not do without Thee
O Jesus Saviour Dear
E’en when my eyes are holden
I know that Thou art near
How dreary and how lonely
This changeful life would be
Without the sweet communion
The secret rest with Thee

I could not do without Thee
No other friend can read
The spirit’s strange deep longings
Interpreting its needs
No human heart could enter
Each dim recess of mine
And soothe, and hush and calm it
O Blessed Lord but Thine

I could not do without Thee
For year are fleeting fast
And soon in solemn loneness
The river must be crossed
But Thou wilt never leave me
And though the waves roll high
I know Thou wilt near me

And whisper it is I

Courage Brother - Do Not Stumble

This hymn has encouraged me severally 
times even when I was on the verge of giving in.

I am certainly convinced that like me, many are passing through times of trial and temptation.

Read meaning into the words of this song and be encouraged

Remember, NOTHING LASTS FOR EVER

Every problem has an EXPIRY DATE
And this one, SHALL PASS TOO

Sing with me

Courage brother, do not stumble
Though thy path be dark as night
There’s a star to guide the humble
Trust in God and do the right

Let the road be rough and dreary
And its end far out of sight
Foot it bravely strong or weary
Trust in God and do the right

Perish policy and cunning
Perish all that fears the light
Whether losing, whether winning
Trust in God and do the right

Trust no party, sect or faction
Trust no leaders in the fight
But in every word and action
Trust in God and do the right

Trust no lovely forms of passion
Fiends might look like Angels bright
Trust no custom, school or fashion
Trust in God and do the right

Some will hate you, some will love you
Some will flatter, some will slight
Cease from man and look above thee
Trust in God and do the right

Simple rule and safest guiding
Inward peace and inward might
Stars upon our path abiding
Trust in God and do the right

Courage brother, do not stumble
Though thy path be dark as night
There’s a star to guide the humble
Trust in God and do the right
