THIS WORLD IS NOT MY HOME
(Albert E. Brumley - Mary Reeves)
« © '52 Bridge Building Music, BMI »
Oh Lord you know I have no friend like you
If heaven's not my home then Lord what will I do
The angels beckon me from heaven's open door
And I can't feel at home in this world anymore
This world is not my home I'm just passing through
My treasures are laid up somewhere beyond the blue
The angels beckon me from heaven's open door
And I can't feel at home in this world anymore
Oh Lord you know...
[ guitar ]
They're all expecting me and that's one thing I know
My Saviour pardoned me and now I onward go
I know he date me through so I am weak and poor
And I can't feel at home in this world anymore
Oh Lord you know...

Pass me not oh gentle Saviour hear my humble cry
While all others now are calling do not pass me by

While all others now are calling do not pass me by

Trusting only in Thy merit would I seek Thy face
Heal my wounded broken spirit save me by Thy grace
Saviour Saviour...

WHEN THE ROLL IS CALLED UP YONDER
(James M. Black - Gene Clark)
« © '56 Good News Broadcasting, BMI »
When the trumpet of the Lord shall sound and time shall be no more
And the morning breaks eternal bright and fair
When the saved word shall gather over on the other shore
And the roll is called up yonder I'll be there
When the roll is called up yonder when the roll is called up yonder
When the roll is called up yonder when the roll is called up yonder I'll be there
[ guitar ]
On that bright and cloudless morning when the dead in Christ shall rise
And the glory of his resurrection share
When His chosen ones shall gather to their home beyond the skies
And the roll is called up yonder I'll be there
When the roll is called up yonder...
[ guitar ]
Let us lay before the Master from the dawn till setting sun
Let us talk of all his wonderous love and care
And when all of life is over and our work on earth is done
When the roll is called up yonder I'll be there
When the roll is called up yonder...

WAIT A LITTLE LONGER PLEASE JESUS
(Hazel Houser - Chester Smith)
« © '54 Central Songs, BMI »
Wait a little longer please Jesus there are so many still wandering out in sin
Just a little longer please Jesus a few more days to get our loved ones in
Here the labor is so hard and the workers are so tired
And our weary hearts are yearning for a rest
And we find we're gettin' anxious to be in that happy home
Where we'll reseive such peace and happiness
But wait a little longer please Jesus...
[ guitar ]
We may look into the skies and tears will fill our eyes
When our burdened hearts grow heavier with each day
First we cry oh Lord please come come and take your children home
Then we look around and suddenly we say
But wait a little longer please Jesus...

(Kelso Carter)

Standing standing standing on the promises of God my Saviour
Standing standing I'm standing on the promises of God
Standing on the promises of Christ my King
Through eternal ages let his praises ring
Glory in the highes I will shout and sing standing on the promises of God
Standing standing..
[ guitar ]
Standing on the promises that cannot fail
When the howling storm of doubt and fear and assail
By the living word of God I shall prevail standing on the promises of God
Standing standing...

WORKS OF THE LORD
(Danny Dill)
« © '55 Cedarwood Publishing, BMI »
A friend of mine came up to me and he said if I could see
All the mighty works of Christ down here below
When he said I could believe and my doubts he could releave
Cause I'm the kind of guy that's got to know
I was taken by surprise and I looked into his eyes
For I thought that he could see as well as I
I said my friend just let me show you what the Master left below
And by fate you surely see if you try
Cause everytime the roses bud and everytime the rivers flood
Then I know I seen the works of the Lord
Everytime a robin flies or a newborn baby cries
Then I know I seen the works of the Lord
[ guitar ]
Cause everytime the roses bud...

WHEN THEY RING THOSE GOLDEN BELLS
(Dion DeMarbelle - Archie Campbell)
« © '56 Fort Knox Music, BMI / Trio Music, BMI »
There's a land beyond the river that we call the sweet forever
And we only reach at shore by fate's decree
One by one we'll gain the portals there to dwell with the immortals
When they ring those golden bells for you and me
Don't you hear the bells now ringing can't you hear the angels singing
This glory hallelujah jubilee
In that far off sweet forever just beyond the shining river
When they ring the golden bells for you and me
[ steel ]
When our days shall know the number when in death we'll sweetly slumber
When the king commands the spirit to be free
Never more with anguish laden we shall reach at lovely aden
When they ring those golden bells for you and me
Don't you hear the bells now ringing...

ANSWERS
(Wiley Walker)
« © '55 Peer International, BMI »
Listen my Lord to this plea of mine
There are some answers I've been wanted to find
They say there are two ways that we all may go
One leads to paradise the other below
You're the bright lights I see what a road I should take
Are they only for Siam tell me fore it's too late
Like all of your children I'm a babe in your arms
Guide every step I take yes I know saint's charms
[ steel ]
I go to the dances take a drink now and then
I know it's not right was it really a sin
Give me the answers which I waited so long
Show me the right way tell me the wrong
You're the bright lights I see...

ANYWHERE IS HOME
(Traditional)
« © '56 Peer International, BMI »
Earthly wealth and fame may never come to me
In the Pallit's Fair here my name may never be
But not come what may it cries for me with care
Anywhere is home when he is only there
Anywhere is home let come and go what may
Anywhere I roam he keeps me all the way
So for his fear sake my cross I'll neatly bear
Anywhere is home if Christ my Lord is there
[ guitar ]
Oh I'm tossed about and driven by the foe
Sad within without wherever I may go
But I press along still looking up in prayer
For it's home sweet home if Christ is only there
Anywhere is home let come...

I DREAMED OF THE OLD RUGGED CROSS
(Jerry Organ - Carl Smith)
« © '55 Peer International, BMI »
I dreamed I've stood at the portal at heaven one day
And all I wanted so to enter in
But my head bowed in shame when they called my name
For that was my last of sin
Then I could see the gold nails in the hands of my Lord
As he died for the world that was lost
Then I woke and I cried have mercy I prayed
I had dreamed of the old rugged cross
[ steel ]
I could see the dear Lord as he beckon to me
And he said come to me I'll give you rest
I'll forgive all your sins and cling your soul within
Then I knew he was the one who love me best
Then I could see the gold nails...

OLD CAMP MEETIN' TIME
(Traditional)
« © '56 Silverhill Music, BMI »
Long ago when but a boy at old camp meetin' time
How my heart would beat with joy to hear the old bells chime
Callin' all the saints of God into the house of prayer
Oh such prayin' singin' shoutin' for the Lord was there
How I like the old time preachin' prayin' shoutin' singin'
How I like the old time readin' of God's words
How I like to hear that glory hallelujah singin'
How I like the old time worship of the Lord
[ guitar ]
How I like the old time...
[ guitar ]
Preachin' in them good ole days was still the world acclaim
Preachin' for the souls of men and not for wordly fame
Under such old fashion preachin' sinners knelt and pray
And the Lord would save them in that good ole fashion way
How I like the old time...
