1) THE OLD RUGGED CROSS Key of F (E+1) - George Bernnard 1 On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross The emblem of suffering and shame But I love that old cross, where the dearest and best For a world of lost sinners was slain So I’ll cherish the old rugged cross Till my trophies, at last, I’ll lay down I will cling to the old rugged cross And exchange it some day for a crown 2 On the old rugged cross, so despised by the world Holds a wondrous attraction for me For the dear Lamb of God, left His glory above To bear it to dark calvary 3 In the old rugged cross stained with blood so divine A wonderful beauty I see For t’was on that old cross, Jesus suffered and died To pardon and sanctify me 4 To the old rugged cross I will ever be true It’s shame and reproach gladly bear Then He’ll call me some day, to His home far away Where His glory forever I share

DIDN’T MY LORD DELIVER DANIEL Key of Am - Traditional Didn’t my Lord deliver Daniel Deliver Daniel Deliver Daniel Didn’t my Lord deliver Daniel And why not every man 1 He delivered Daniel from the lion’s den Jonah from the belly of the whale He delivered Moses and the Hebrew children So why not every man 2 The moon run down in a purple stream The sun forbear to shine And every star disappear King Jesus shall be mine 3 The wind blows east and the wind blows west It blows like a judgement day And every poor sinner that never did pray’ll Be glad to pray that day 4 I set my foot on the Gospel Ship And the ship begin to sail It landed me over on Canaan’s shore And I’ll never come back no more

3) The Lord’s My Shepherd - Psalm 23 Gaelic - Key of A 1 Is e Dia fhèin as buachaill dhomh,
cha bhi mi ann an dìth.
 2 Bheir e fa-near gu’n laighinn sìos
air cluainean glas’ le sìth: Is fòs ri taobh nan aibhnichean
thèid seachad sìos gu mall,
A ta e ga mo threòrachadh,
gu mìn rèidh anns gach ball. 3 Tha ’g aisig m’anam dhomh air ais:
’s a treòrachadh mo cheum
Air slighean glan’ na fìreantachd,
air sgàth dheagh ainme fhèin. 4 Seadh, fòs ged ghluaisinn eadhon trìd
ghlinn dorcha sgàil a’ bhàis,
Aon olc no urchuid a theachd orm
chan eagal leam ’s cha chàs; Air son gu bheil thu leam a-ghnàth,
do lorg, ’s do bhata treun,
Tha iad a’ tabhairt comhfhurtachd
is fuasglaidh dhomh am fheum. 5 Dhomh dheasaich bòrd air beul mo nàmh:
le ola dh’ung mo cheann;
Cur thairis tha mo chupan fòs,
aig meud an làin a th’ann. 6 Ach leanaidh maith is tròcair rium,
an cian a bhios mi beò;
Is còmhnaicheam an àros Dhè,
ri fad mo rè ’s mo lò.* A A A EA A A DA A D D A A D E E A Key of A and C - The Bays of Harris/ Crimmond’s Key of C 1 The Lord’s my shepherd; I’ll not want. He makes me down to lie in pastures green; he leadeth me the quiet waters by. 2 My soul he doth restore again and me to walk doth make within the paths of righteousness, e’en for his own name’s sake. 3 Yea, though I walk in death’s dark vale, yet will I fear no ill; for thou art with me, and thy rod and staff me comfort still. 4 My table thou hast furnished in presence of my foes; my head thou dost with oil anoint, and my cup overflows. 5 Goodness and mercy all my life shall surely follow me, and in God’s house forevermore my dwelling place shall be. Gaelic - Key of A 1 Is e Dia fhèin as buachaill dhomh,
cha bhi mi ann an dìth.

VICTORY IN JESUS Key of C - Eugene Munroe Bartlet 1 I heard an old, old story, how a Saviour came from glory How He gave His life on Calvary to save a wretch like me I heard about His groaning, of His precious blood’s atoning Then I repented of my sins and won the victory Oh victory in Jesus, my Saviour forever He sought me and bought me with His redeeming blood He loved me e’er I knew Him and all my love is due Him He plunged me to victory beneath the cleansing flood 2 I heard about His healing, of His cleansing power revealing How He made the lame to walk again, and caused the blind to see And then I cried Dear Jesus, come and heal my broken spirit And somehow Jesus came and brought me victory 3 I heard about a mansion He has built for me in glory And I heard about the streets of gold beyond the crystal sea About the angels singing, and the old redemption story And some sweet day I’ll sing up there, the sing of victory
