Invisble hands are waiting to guide you
Invisble hands will show you the way
Have faith in the Lord he's always beside you
So pray and believe and help you receive from invisible hands

So pray and believe and help you receive from invisible hands

I'M MOVIN' ON TO GLORY
(Hank Snow)
«© '51 Unichappell Music, BMI »
There's a mighty train a comin' you will hear it bye and bye
And you'll hear that screaming whistle as it thunders through the sky
My Lord will be the engineer your soul must pay the fare
Don't be sidetracked at the cross and ride the rails of humble prayer
I'll be movin' on to glory when the golden train comes down
With my Jesus at the throttle I will lay my burden down
I will keep my ticket stainless free it from the marks of sin
Throw the devil from my pullman let the light of Jesus in
(Let it in let it in )
All the cross ties will be sinners that have fallen by the way
At the junction of tomorrow you'd better kneel and pray
At the switch on of his mercy he will shunt you to the fore
Start you on the track to glory to the land that n'er grows old
(I'll be movin' on to glory when the golden train comes down
With my Jesus at the throttle I will lay my burden down)
I will keep my ticket stainless free it from the marks of sin
Throw the devil from my pullman let the light of Jesus in
(Let it in let it in )
[ guitar ]
When those eight wheels drive us cross that great horizon up on high
And you'll see the sign called Heaven in his station in the sky
When your last long journey has ended with the angels you are there
You'll thank God you have your ticket and the ticket was a prayer
I'll be movin' on to glory...

HE'LL UNDERSTAND AND SAY WELL DONE
(Roger Wilson)
«© '57 Anne Rachel Music, ASCAP / Hope Publishing, ASCAP »
Give when you give the best of your service
Telling the world that the Saviour has come
Be not dismayed when man don't believe you
He'll understand and say well done
Oh when I come to the end of my journey
Weary of life and the battle is won
Caring the staff and the cross of redemption
He'll understand and say well done
[ organ ]
Misunderstood yes the Saviour of sinners
Come on the cross he was God's only son
Oh hear him calling his father in heaven
Not my will Lord but then be done
And when I come...

SWEET HOUR OF PRAYER
(William B. Bradbury - William Walford)
«© '56 Unichappell Music, BMI »
Sweet hour of prayer sweet hour of prayer that calls me from a world of care
And bids me at my father's throne make all my wants and wishes known
In seasons of distress and grief my soul has often found relief
And oft escapes the tempter's snare by Thy return sweet hour of prayer
[ strings ]
Sweet hour of prayer sweet hour of prayer Thy wings shall my petition bear
To him whose truth and faithfulness engage the waiting soul to bless
And since he bids me seek his face believe his word and trust his grace
I'll cast on him my every care and wait for thee sweet hour of prayer

JESUS WEPT
(Hank Snow - Blanche Snow)
«© '52 Unichappell Music, BMI »
All alone in this cruel world of sin
I have fought for Jesus but in vain
In my fight o'er dear land of God
They condemned him and tried to erase his name
They shout in mockery and sneer the son of God
As they smoked him and nailed him to a tree
A little bird circled round his crown of thorns
To dry the tears that he shed for you and me
(Jesus wept and the tears that he shed
Left the stains of sorrow on my heart
For our sins trickin' world that we'll regret
We'll pay the price cause Jesus wept)
[ guitar ]
But he still weeps and the tears that he sheds
Leave their stains of sorrow on my heart
For our sins trickin' world that we'll regret
We'll pay the price cause Jesus wept
We'll pay the price cause Jesus wept

THESE THINGS SHALL PASS
(Stuart Hamblen)
«© '51 Songs Of Universal, BMI »
These things shall pass and some great morning
We'll look back and smile at heartaches we have known
So don't forget when shadows gather
The Lord our God is still the King upon his throne
A rose looks great at midnight but the flame is just as sweat
And the steel is strong because it knew the hammer and white heat
These things shall pass and life be sweeter
When love and faith are strong they cannot long endure
A rose looks great...

HIS HANDS
(Stuart Hamblen)
«© '56 Hamblen Music, ASCAP »
His hands paint the flowers he puts leaves on the trees
At his whisper birds start singing when my heart needs melodies
Why I strayed from all his goodness my poor mind can't understand
I'm to blame for my misfortune I lost hold of his hands
Those hands that gave me mercy when I'm wrong as wrong can be
If they really gave me justice I'd be lost on homeless sea
I've been lost in the shuffle I've obeyed the wrong command
I'm going back to the chapel in search of his hands
[ guitar ]
Those hands that gave me mercy...

RICH MAN AM I
(Lowell Lundstrom)
«© '64 Bridge Building Music, BMI »
I found something that money can't buy I found a goldmine beyond the blue sky
I found the land where I'll look when I die I found the Lord rich man am I
I found the Lord that's too sweet to tell I found the faith that's known so well
I found the life that I'll live till I die I found the Lord rich man am I
People may say that I'm dreamin' a bit but I like when I belive and not gonna quit
The Book told me that I'll live when I die I found the Lord rich man am I
[ guitar ]
I found the dream that surely come true I found the rainbow that's never turned blue
I found the land where teardrops are dry I found the Lord rich man am I
I found the song the angels can sing I found the way to be rich as a king
I found the love that will burn till I die I found the Lord rich man am I
People may say that I'm dreamin' a bit...
I found the Lord rich man am I

FARTHER ALONG
(W.B. Stevens - Jesse Randall Baxter)
«© '38 Bridge Building Music, BMI »
Tempted and tried we're oft made to wonder why should it be thus all the day long
When there are others living about us never molested though in the wrong
(Farther along we'll know all about it farther along we'll understand why)
Cheer up my brother live in the sunshine we'll understand it all by and by
[ organ ]
When death has come and taken our loved ones it leaving our home so lonely and drear
Then do we wonder why others prosper living so wicked year after year
Farther along we'll know all about it...

LAST MILE OF THE WAY
(Bill Mark - Johnson Oatman)
«© '58 Writer Share, PD »
If I walk in the pathway of duty if I work till the close of the day
I shall see the great king in his beauty when I've gone the last mile of the way
When I've gone the last mile of the way I will rest at the close of the day
And I know there are joys that await me when I've gone the last mile of the way
[ strings + guitar ]
And if here I have earnestly striven and have tried on his will to obey
Twill enhance all the rapture of heaven when I've gone the last mile of the way
When I've gone the last mile...

(Johnny Marks - Johnnie Masters)
«© '52 Peer International, BMI »
There is an army that is marching onto victory the Captain is a man from Galilee
They've all been saved and their souls set free by the blood of the man on calvary
So won't you join in his army and be saved today get on your knees and pray
Have please the wrong to right and join in the fight and get in the gloryland march
(Glory hallujah we are marching on as we sing this song and it won't be long)
The man of Galilee will set us everyone free so get in the gloryland march
[ piano - guitar ]
Blessed is the army that will follow God
Fighting for the kingdom as we onward trod
Waiting for the morning when we leave the sod

He will give us power over mend our sins we'll shout and enter in
You'll hear the victory ring we'll find a Saviour King
So get in the gloryland march
Glory hallujah we are marching...

I SAW A MAN
(Arthur Smith)
«© '56 Clay Music, BMI »
Last night I dreamed an angel came he took my hand he called my name
He bade me look the other way I saw a man I heard him say
He said if I'd be lifted up I'll draw all men to me
He turned and then I saw the nail scared hands that bled for me
(I touched the hem of his garment that fell round him there)
My life my heart I gave my soul was in his care
[ guitar ]
When I awoke my heart beat sore and in the dark I saw a glow
It was no dream he turned my way again I heard my Saviour say
He said if I'd be lifted up...
