Anchor Hymns

by Zach Malm

/
1.
What can wash away my sin? Nothing but the blood of Jesus. What can make me whole again? Nothing but the blood of Jesus. O precious is the flow That makes me white as snow; No other fount I know; Nothing but the blood of Jesus. For my pardon this I see: nothing but the blood of Jesus. For my cleansing this my plea: nothing but the blood of Jesus. O precious is the flow That makes me white as snow; No other fount I know; Nothing but the blood of Jesus. Nothing can for sin atone: Nothing but the blood of Jesus. Naught of good that I have done: Nothing but the blood of Jesus. O precious is the flow That makes me white as snow; No other fount I know; Nothing but the blood of Jesus. This is all my hope and peace: Nothing but the blood of Jesus. This is all my righteousness: Nothing but the blood of Jesus. O precious is the flow That makes me white as snow; No other fount I know; Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

What a friend we have in Jesus, All ours sins and griefs to bear, What a privilege to carry Everything to God in prayer! O what peace we often forfeit, O what needless pain we bear, All because we do not carry Everything to God in prayer! Have we trials and temptations? Is there trouble anywhere? We should never be discouraged; Take it to the Lord in prayer. Can we find a friend so faithful Who will all our sorrows share? Jesus knows our every weakness; Take it to the Lord in prayer. Are we weak and heavy laden, Cumbered with a load of care? Precious Saviour still our refuge; Take it to the Lord in prayer. Do thy friends despise forsake thee? Take it to the Lord in prayer! In His arms He·ll take and shield thee; Thou wilt find a solace there.
3.
Fairest Lord Jesus, ruler of all nature, O thou of God and man the Son, Thee will I cherish, Thee will I honor, thou, my soul's glory, joy, and crown. Fair are the meadows, fairer still the woodlands, robed in the blooming garb of spring. Jesus is fairer, Jesus is purer who makes the woeful heart to sing. Fair is the sunshine, fairer still the moonlight, and all the twinkling starry host. Jesus shines brighter, Jesus shines purer than all the angels heaven can boast. Beautiful Savior! Lord of all the nations! Son of God and Son of Man! Glory and honor, praise, adoration, now and forevermore be thine.
4.
What a fellowship, what a joy divine, Leaning on the everlasting arms; What a blessedness, what a peace is mine, Leaning on the everlasting arms. Leaning, leaning, safe and secure from all alarms; Leaning, leaning, leaning on the everlasting arms. Oh, how sweet to walk in this pilgrim way, Leaning on the everlasting arms; Oh, how bright the path grows from day to day, Leaning on the everlasting arms. Leaning, leaning, safe and secure from all alarms; Leaning, leaning, leaning on the everlasting arms. What have I to dread, what have I to fear, Leaning on the everlasting arms? I have blessed peace with my Lord so near, Leaning on the everlasting arms. Leaning, leaning, safe and secure from all alarms; Leaning, leaning, leaning on the everlasting arms.

By the Mark 03:50
When I cross over I will shout and sing I will know my savior By the mark where the nails have been Chorus: By the mark where the nails have been By the sign upon his precious skin I will know my savior when I come to him By the mark where the nails have been A man of riches May claim a crown of jewels But the king of heaven Can be told from the prince of fools Chorus On Calvary Mountain Where they made him suffer so All my sin was paid for A long, long time ago Chorus
6.
Benediction 04:20
My friends, may you grow in grace And in the knowledge of our lord and savior My friends may you grow in grace And in the knowledge of Jesus Christ To God be the glory now and forever, now and forever Amen To God be the glory now and forever, now and forever Amen
7.
My hope is built on nothing less, Than Jesus' blood and righteousness. I dare not trust the sweetest frame, But wholly lean on Jesus' Name. When darkness seems to hide His face, I rest on His unchanging grace. In every high and stormy gale, My anchor holds within the veil. On Christ the solid rock I stand, All other ground is sinking sand, All other ground is sinking sand. His oath, His covenant, His blood, Support me in the whelming flood. When all around my soul gives way, He then is all my hope and stay. When He shall come with trumpet sound, Oh may I then in Him be found. Dressed in His righteousness alone, Faultless to stand before the throne. On Christ the solid rock I stand, All other ground is sinking sand, All other ground is sinking sand.
8.
I have decided to follow Jesus; I have decided to follow Jesus; I have decided to follow Jesus; No turning back, no turning back. The world behind me, the cross before me; The world behind me, the cross before me; The world behind me, the cross before me; No turning back, no turning back. Through joy and sorrow, still I will follow; Through joy and sorrow, still I will follow; Through joy and sorrow, still I will follow; No turning back, no turning back. Will you decide now to follow Jesus? Will you decide now to follow Jesus? Will you decide now to follow Jesus? No turning back, no turning back.

My Deliverer 03:45
Joseph took his wife and her child and they went to Africa To escape the rage of a deadly king There along the banks of the Nile, Jesus listened to the song That the captive children used to sing They were singing My Deliverer is coming, my Deliverer is standing by My Deliverer is coming, my Deliverer is standing by Through a dry and thirsty land water from the mountain heights Pours itself out of the river's broken heart There in the Sahara winds Jesus heard the whole world cry For the healing that would flow from his own scars, The world was singing My Deliverer is coming, my Deliverer is standing by My Deliverer is coming, my Deliverer is standing by He will never break his promise, He has written it upon the sky My Deliverer is coming, my Deliverer is standing by My Deliverer is coming, my Deliverer is standing by My Deliverer is coming, my Deliverer is standing by My Deliverer is coming, my Deliverer is standing by I will never doubt his promise, though I doubt my heart, I doubt my eyes My Deliverer is coming, my Deliverer is standing by is standing by is standing by is standing by
10.
We shall not all sleep we shall be changed We shall not all sleep we shall be changed O death, where is your sting O death where is your victory O death, you cut down my king But Jesus up and left that grave I know he won't leave me Death is swallowed up in victory Death is swallowed up in victory O death, where is your sting O death where is your victory O death, you cut down my king But Jesus up and left that grave I know he won't leave me Our afflictions, weight of glory Moments bend to tell His story Holy infant, man of sorrows Same today and same tomorrow Bread of life and living water Seated next to God the Father Judge the living, and the dead, the Snake bit His heel, He crushed its head O death, where is your sting O death where is your victory O death, you cut down my king But Jesus up and left that grave I know he won't leave me We shall not all sleep we shall be changed

Wait for the Lord. Wait Be Strong and take heart Gloria
12.
How deep the Father's love for us, How vast beyond all measure That He should give His only Son To make a wretch His treasure How great the pain of searing loss, The Father turns His face away As wounds which mar the chosen One, Bring many sons to glory Behold the Man upon a cross, My sin upon His shoulders Ashamed I hear my mocking voice, Call out among the scoffers It was my sin that held Him there Until it was accomplished His dying breath has brought me life I know that it is finished I will not boast in anything No gifts, no power, no wisdom But I will boast in Jesus Christ His death and resurrection Why should I gain from His reward? I cannot give an answer But this I know with all my heart His wounds have paid my ransom Why should I gain from His reward? I cannot give an answer But this I know with all my heart His wounds have paid my ransom
13.
In the first light of a new day No one knew He had arrived Things continued as they had been While a new born softly cried. But the heavens wrapped in wonder Knew the meaning of His birth In the weakness of a baby They knew God had come to earth. As His mother held him closely, It was hard to understand That her baby not yet speaking Was the Word of God to man. He would tell them of His kingdom, But their hearts would not believe They would hate Him and in anger They would nail Him to a tree. But the sadness would be broken As the song of life arose And the First born of creation Would ascend and take his throne. He had left it to redeem us, But before His life began He knew He´d come back not as a baby But as The Lord of every man. Hear the angels as they´re singing On the morning of His birth But how much greater will our song be When He comes again to Earth Hear the angels as they´re singing On the morning of His birth But how much greater will our song be When He comes to rule the Earth! Hear the angels as they´re singing On the morning of His birth But how much greater will our song be When He comes again, when he comes again Hear the angels as they´re singing On the morning of His birth But how much greater will our song be When He comes to rule the Earth!

Do Lord 02:40
Chorus: Do Lord, O do Lord, O do remember me Do Lord, O do Lord, O do remember me Do Lord, O do Lord, O do remember me Way beyond the blue I got a home in Glory Land that outshines the sun I got a home in Glory Land that outshines the sun I got a home in Glory Land that outshines the sun Way beyond the blue Chorus I took Jesus as my Savior, you take him too I took Jesus as my Savior, you take him too I took Jesus as my Savior, you take him too Way beyond the blue Chorus
15.
Would you be free from the burden of sin? There’s power in the blood, power in the blood; Would you o’er evil a victory win? There’s wonderful power in the blood. Refrain: There is power, power, wonder working power In the blood of the Lamb; There is power, power, wonder working power In the precious blood of the Lamb. Would you be free from your passion and pride? There’s power in the blood, power in the blood; Come for a cleansing to Calvary’s tide; There’s wonderful power in the blood. Refrain Would you be whiter, much whiter than snow? There’s power in the blood, power in the blood; Sin stains are lost in its life giving flow. There’s wonderful power in the blood. Refrain Would you do service for Jesus your King? There’s power in the blood, power in the blood; Would you live daily His praises to sing? There’s wonderful power in the blood. Refrain

I have found a friend in Jesus, He’s everything to me, He’s the fairest of ten thousand to my soul; The Lily of the Valley, in Him alone I stand All I need to cleanse and make me fully whole. In sorrow He’s my comfort, in trouble He’s my stay; He tells me every care on Him to roll. He’s the Lily of the Valley, the Bright and Morning Star, He’s the fairest of ten thousand to my soul. He all my grief has taken, and all my sorrows borne; In temptation He’s my strong and mighty tow’r; I have all for Him forsaken, and all my idols torn From my heart and now He keeps me by His pow’r. Though all the world forsake me, and Satan tempt me sore, Through Jesus I shall safely reach the goal. He’s the Lily of the Valley, the Bright and Morning Star, He’s the fairest of ten thousand to my soul. He will never, never leave me, nor yet forsake me here, While I live by faith and do His blessed will; A wall of fire about me, I’ve nothing now to fear, From His manna He my hungry soul shall fill. Then sweeping up to glory to see His blessed face, Where rivers of delight shall ever roll. He’s the Lily of the Valley, the Bright and Morning Star, He’s the fairest of ten thousand to my soul.

Well there ain’t no grave, gonna hold my body down There ain’t no grave, gonna hold my body down When I hear that trumpet sound Gonna get up outta the ground Well there ain’t no grave, gonna hold my body down Well go down yonder Gabriel, put your foot on the land and sea, But Gabriel don’t you blow your trumpet until you hear from me Well I looked way over yonder, saw people dressed in white I knew it was God’s people, I saw them doin right Well I look way down the river and what do you think I see I see a band of angels, they’re comin after me Well there ain’t no grave, gonna hold my body down There ain’t no grave, gonna hold my body down When I hear that trumpet sound Gonna get up outta the ground Well there ain’t no grave, gonna hold my body down Well I’m going to the river of Jordan, gonna bury my knees in sand Gonna holler high Hosanna, gonna reach that promised land Well I look way over yonder, and what do you think I see I see a band of angels, they’re comin after me Well meet me King Jesus, meet me in the middle of the air And if these wings should carry me, I won’t need another pair Well there ain’t no grave, gonna hold my body down There ain’t no grave, gonna hold my body down When I hear that trumpet sound Gonna get up outta the ground Well there ain’t no grave, gonna hold my body down

’Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus, And to take Him at His Word; Just to rest upon His promise, And to know, “Thus says the Lord!” Chorus: Jesus, Jesus, how I trust Him! How I’ve proved Him o’er and o’er Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus! O for grace to trust Him more! O how sweet to trust in Jesus, Just to trust His cleansing blood; And in simple faith to plunge me ’Neath the healing, cleansing flood! Chorus Yes, ’tis sweet to trust in Jesus, Just from sin and self to cease; Just from Jesus simply taking Life and rest, and joy and peace. Chorus I’m so glad I learned to trust Thee, Precious Jesus, Savior, Friend; And I know that Thou art with me, Wilt be with me to the end. Chorus

Come, Thou Fount of every blessing, Tune my heart to sing Thy grace; Streams of mercy, never ceasing, Call for songs of loudest praise. Teach me some melodious sonnet, Sung by flaming tongues above. Praise the mount! I’m fixed upon it, Mount of Thy redeeming love. Here I raise my Ebenezer; Here by Thy help I’ve come; And I hope, by Thy good pleasure, Safely to arrive at home. Jesus sought me when a stranger, Wandering from the fold of God; He, to rescue me from danger, Interposed His precious blood; O to grace how great a debtor Daily I’m constrained to be! Let Thy goodness, like a fetter, Bind my wandering heart to Thee. Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it, Prone to leave the God I love; Here’s my heart, O take and seal it, Seal it for Thy courts above. Here’s my heart, O take and seal it, Seal it for Thy courts above.
21.
A mighty fortress is our God, a bulwark never failing; Our helper He, amid the flood of mortal ills prevailing: For still our ancient foe doth seek to work us woe; His craft and power are great, and, armed with cruel hate, On earth is not his equal. Did we in our own strength confide, our striving would be losing; Were not the right Man on our side, the Man of God’s own choosing: Dost ask who that may be? Christ Jesus, it is He; Lord Sabaoth, His Name, from age to age the same, And He must win the battle. And though this world, with devils filled, should threaten to undo us, We will not fear, for God hath willed His truth to triumph through us: The Prince of Darkness grim, we tremble not for him; His rage we can endure, for lo, his doom is sure, One little word shall fell him. That word above all earthly powers, no thanks to them, abideth; The Spirit and the gifts are ours through Him Who with us sideth: Let goods and kindred go, this mortal life also; The body they may kill: God’s truth abideth still, His kingdom is forever.
