Daniel Webster Whittle

Jesus is coming! O sing the glad word!
Coming for those He redeemed by His blood,
Coming to reign as the glorified Lord!
Jesus is coming again!
...

There shall be showers of blessing:
This is the promise of love;
There shall be seasons refreshing,
...

Dying with Jesus, by death reckoned mine;
Living with Jesus, a new life divine;
Looking to Jesus till glory doth shine,
...

“Neither do I condemn thee,”
O words of wondrous grace;
Thy sins were born upon the cross,
Believe, and go in peace.
...

Preach the Gospel, sound it forth,
Tell of free and full salvation;
Spread the tidings o’er the earth,
...

Oh, day of awful story—
Jesus is dead!
Sad end to hope of glory—
Jesus is dead!
...

I know not why God’s wondrous grace
To me He hath made known,
Nor why, unworthy, Christ in love
Redeemed me for His own.
...

When God of old the way of life
Would teach to all His own,
He placed them safe beyond the reach
Of death, by Blood alone.
...

Fierce and wild the storm is raging
Round a helpless bark,
On to doom ’tis swiftly driving,
O’er the waters dark!
...

Sons of God, belovèd in Jesus!
O the wondrous word of grace;
In His Son the Father sees us,
And as sons He gives us place.
...

In grace the holy God
Did full salvation plan,
Electing in His sovereign grace
To save rebellious man.
...

Once far from God and dead in sin,
No light my heart could see;
But in God’s Word the light I found,
...

Once again the Gospel message
From the Savior you have heard;
Will you heed the invitation?
Will you turn and seek the Lord?
...

There’s a royal banner given for display
To the soldiers of the King;
As an ensign fair we lift it up today,
While as ransomed ones we sing.
...

The Church of God is one:
As brethren here we meet;
For us salvation’s work is done,
...

Our Lord is now rejected,
And by the world disowned,
By the many still neglected,
And by the few enthroned,
...

A lamp in the night, a song in time of sorrow;
A great glad hope which faith can ever borrow
...

Heav’nly Father, we Thy children,
Gathered round our risen Lord,
Lift our hearts in earnest pleading:
...

They tell me the story of Jesus is old,
And they ask that we preach something new;
They say that the Babe, and the Man of the cross,
...

Thou remainest, blest Redeemer,
Lord of peace and Lord of strife,
Jesus, Savior, Lord forever,
Thou remainest, Christ, my life.
...
