Earnestly, tenderly Jesus is calling,Calling, “O sinner, come home.”Verse 2Why should we linger when Jesus is pleading,Pleading for you and for me?Why should we wait then, and heed not Hismercies,Mercies for you and for me?[Repeat Chorus]Verse 3Oh, for the wonderful love He has promised,Promised for you and for me;Though we have sinned, He has mercy andpardon,Pardon for you and for me.[Repeat Chorus]He’s calling, “O sinner, come home.”STANDING ON THE PROMISESComposed by R. Kelso CarterVerse 1Standing on the promises of Christ, my King,Through eternal ages let His praises ring.“Glory in the highest!” I will shout and sing,Standing on the promises of God.ChorusStanding, standing,Standing on the promises of Christ my Savior.Standing, standing,I’m standing on the promises of God.SWEET HOUR OF PRAYERWords: William W. WalfordMusic: William B. BradburyVerse 1Sweet 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’ escaped the tempter’s snare,By thy return, sweet hour of prayer.Verse 2Sweet hour of prayer, sweet hour of prayer,Thy wings shall my petition bearTo Him whose truth and faithfulnessEngage the waiting soul to blessAnd 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.Verse 3Sweet hour of prayer, sweet hour of prayer,May I thy consolation share,Till from the mountain’s lofty height,I view my home and take my flight.This robe of flesh I’ll drop and riseTo seize the everlasting prize,And shout, while passing through the air,Farewell, farewell, sweet hour of prayer.[Repeat Verse 1]Verse 2Standing on the promises that cannot fail,When the howling storms of doubt and fear assail,By the living Word of God I shall prevail,Standing on the promises of God.[Repeat Chorus]Verse 3Standing on the promises of Christ the Lord,Bound to Him eternally by love’s strong cord,Overcoming daily with the Spirit’s sword,Standing on the promises of God.[Repeat Chorus twice]I’m standing on the promises of God.Set 4 - Song sheets: Devotional Songs 175
