1. How Great Thou Art
(Stuart Hine)

Oh Lord my God when I in awesome wonder
Consider all the worlds Thy hands have made
I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder
Thy power throughout the universe displayed
(When Christ shall come
With shout of acclamation
And take me home what joy shall fill my heart)
Then I shall bow in humble adoration
And there proclaim my God how great Thou art
Then sings my soul my saviour God to thee
How great Thou art (how great Thou art)
How great Thou art (how great Thou art)
Then sings my soul my saviour God to thee
How great Thou art how great Thou art



2. Elvis Presley In The Garden
(Words & music by C.A. Miles)

I come to the garden alone
While the dew is still on the roses
And the voice I hear falling on my ear
The song of God discloses

And He walks with me
And He talks with me
And He tells me I am his own
And the joy we share as we tarry there
None other has ever known

He speaks and the sound of His voice
Is so sweet the birds hush their singing
And the melody that He gave to me
Within my heart is ringing

And He walks with me
And He talks with me
And He tells me I am his own
And the joy we share as we tarry there
None other has ever known



3. Somebody Bigger Than You And I
(Lange / Heath / Burke)

Who made the mountains, who made the trees
Who made the rivers flow to the sea
And who sends the rain when the earth is dry?
Somebody bigger than you and I

Who made the flowers to bloom in the spring
Who made the song for the robins to sing
And who hung the moon in the starry sky?
Somebody bigger than you and I

He lights the way when the road is long
He keeps you company
And with His love to guide you
He walks beside you
Just like He walks with me

When I am weary, filled with despair
Who gives me courage to go on from there
And who gives me faith that will never die?
Somebody bigger than you and I



4. Farther Along
(Traditional - arranged by Elvis Presley)

(We'll understand it all by and by)
Tempted and tried, we're oft' made to wonder
Why it should 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, bye-and-bye.

When Death has come, and taken our loved ones,
Leaving our homes so lonely and drear,
Then do we wonder how others prosper,
Living so wicked, year after year.



5. Stand By Me
(Traditional - arranged by Elvis Presley)

When the storms of life are raging
Stand by me (stand by me)
When the storms of life are raging
Stand by me (stand by me)
When the world is tossing me
Like a ship out on the sea
Thou who rulest wind and water
Stand by me (stand by me)

When I'm growing old and feeble
Stand by me (stand by me)
When I'm growing old and feeble
Stand by me (stand by me)
When I do the best I can
And my friends misunderstand
Thou who never lost a battle
Stand by me (stand by me)
Thou who never lost a battle
Stand by me (stand by me)



6. Without Him
(Mylon R. Lefevre)

Without Him I could do nothing
Without Him I'd surely fail
Without Him I would be drifting
Like a ship without a sail

Without Him I would be dying
Without Him I'd be enslaved
Without Him life would be worthless
But with Jesus thank God I'm saved

Oh Jesus, oh Jesus
Do you know Him today?
Please don't turn Him away
Oh Jesus, my Jesus
Without Him how lost I would be
Without Him how lost I would be



7. So High
(Traditional - arranged by Elvis Presley)

Well, He's so high (so high you can't get over Him)
So wide (so wide you can't get around Him)
So low (so low you can't get under him)
Great God Almighty (you must come in at the door)

Oh well, He's high (so high you can't get over Him)
He's wide (so wide you can't get around Him)
So low (so low you can't get under him)
You might as well (you must come in at the door)

Well I went down in the valley
You know I did over there ever stay
My soul got happy in the valley
You know I stayed right there all day

Well, He's high (so high you can't get over Him)
And He's wide (so wide you can't get around Him)
I know he's so low (so low you can't get under Him)
You might as well (you must come in at the door)

Well I ain't been to heaven but I, I am told
The streets the streets are pearls
You know the mighty mighty
Mighty gates are gold

And He's high (so high you can't get over Him)
So wide (so wide you can't get around Him)
He's so low (so low you can't get under Him)
You might as well (you must come in at the door)



8. Where Could I Go But To The Lord
(J. B. Coats)

Living below in this old sinful world
Hardly a comfort can afford
Striving alone, to face temptation's sore
Now won't you tell me

Where could I go but to the lord
Where could I go oh where could I go
Seeking the refuge for my soul ?
Needing a friend to save me in the end
Won't you tell me
Where could I go but to the lord?

Life here is grand with friends I love so dear
Comfort I get from God's own Word
Yet when I face that chilling hand of death
Won't you tell me
Where could I go but to the lord ?



9. By And By
(Traditional - arranged by Elvis Presley)

Well children by and by oh when the morning comes (Say that all)
All the saints of God are gathering home
We will tell the story how we'll overcome
And we'll understand it better by and by

Trials dark on ev'ry hand and we cannot understand
All the ways God will lead us
To the blessed promised land
He will guide us with His eye
And we'll follow till we die
And we'll understand it better by and by

Temptation's hidden snares often take us unaware
And our hearts are made to bleed
For some thoughtless word or deed
And we wonder why they test when we try to do our best
But we'll understand it better by and by

By and by oh when the morning comes (Say that all)
All the saints of God are gathering home
We will tell the story how we'll overcome
And we'll understand it better by and by

And we'll understand him better by and by



10. If The Lord Wasn't Walking By My Side
(Henry Slaughter)

I don't know just what I'd do
If the Lord wasn't walking by my side
When I was driftin' (when I was drifting on the sea of a despair)
and I was wandering (I was wandering if Jehova's up there)
But Jesus found me,(Jesus found me in my sinful life)
he heard me praying (he heard me praying on my knees at night)
And now I'm singing (Now I'm singing this happy song)
because I'm happy (because I'm happy as I go along)
And I don't know (I don't know) just what I'd do
If the Lord wasn't walking by my side
What would I do? (What would I do when a tear fills my eyes?)
what would I do? (What would I do when it's my time to die?)
Well I'd be lonely, discouraged
Burdened all the way
If the Lord wasn't walking by my side every day

I'd be so friendless (I'd be friendless all alone and blue)
and I'd be helpless (I'd be helpless, wouldn't know what to do)
And I don't know (I don't know) just what I'd do
If the Lord wasn't walking by my side


(What would I do) What would I do if the tears fill my eyes
(What would I do) What would I do if I smile and die
(I'd be lonely, discouraged, burdened on the way)
If the Lord wasn't walking by my side every day

I'd be so friendless, (I'd be friendless all alone and blue)
I'd be so helpless (I'd be helpless, wouldn't know what to do)
And I don't know (I don't know) just what I'd do
If the Lord wasn't walking by my side every day

If the Lord (wasn't walking) wasn't walking by my side
(wasn't walking by my side)



11. Run On
(Traditional - arranged by Elvis Presley)

Mmm, well you may run on for a long time
(Run on for a long time), run on for a long time
Let me tell you God Almighty gonna cut you down

Go tell that long tongued liar, (oh well well)
Go tell that midnight rider, (oh well well)
Tell the gamblers, ramblers, back-biter
Tell them God Almighty's gonna cut 'em down

Stop God Almighty let me tell you the news
My head's been wet with the midnight dews
I been down on my bended knees
Talkin' to the man from Galilee
My God spoke and He spoke so sweet
I thought I heard the shuffle of angel's feet
He put one hand upon my head
Great God Almighty let me tell you what he said

You may run on for a long time, (run on for a long time)
Run on for a long time,
Let me tell you God Almighty's gonna cut you down

You may throw your rock and hide your hand
Workin' in the dark against your fellow man
As sure as God made the day and the night
What you do in the dark will be brought to the light
You may run and hide, slip and slide
Tryin' to take the mote from your neighbour's eye
As sure as God made the rich and poor
You're gonna reap a-just what you sow

You may run on for a long time, (run on for a long time)
Run on for a long time
Let me tell you God Almighty's gonna cut you down

Some people go to church just to signify
Tryin' to make a date with the neighbour's wife
Well brother let me tell you as sure as you're born
You'd better leave that woman alone
Because one of these days mark my word
You think that brother is gone to work
You'll sneak up and knock on the door
That's all brother you'll knock no more

Run on for a long time, (run on for a long time)
Run on for a long time
Let me tell you God Almighty's gonna cut you down



12. Where No One Stands Alone
(Mosie Lister)

Once I stood in the night
With my head bowed low
In the darkness as black as could be
And my heart felt alone and I cried "Oh Lord
Don't hide Your face from me"

Like a king I may live in a palace so tall
With great riches to call my own
But I don't know a thing
In this whole wide world
That's worse than being alone
Hold my hand all the way, every hour every day
Come here to the great unknown

Take my hand, let me stand
Where no-one stands alone



13. Crying In The Chapel
(Artie Glenn)

You saw me crying in the chapel
The tears I shed were tears of joy
I know the meaning of contentment
Now I'm happy with the Lord

Just a plain and simple chapel
Where humble people go to pray
I pray the Lord that I'll grow stronger
As I live from day to day

I've searched (I've searched) and I've searched (I've searched)
But I couldn't find
No way on earth to gain peace of mind

Now I'm happy in the chapel
Where people are of one accord (one accord)
Yes we gather in the chapel
Just to sing and praise the Lord

You'll search (you'll search) and you'll search (you'll search)
But you'll never find
No way on earth to gain peace of mind

Take your troubles to the chapel
Get down on your knees and pray (knees and pray)
Then your burdens will be lighter
And you'll surely find the way
(And you'll surely find the way)



14. Peace In The Valley
(Thomas A. Dorsey)

Well, I'm tired and so weary
But I must go along
Till the Lord comes and calls, calls me away, oh yes
Well the morning's so bright
And the Lamb is the light
And the night, night is as black as the sea, oh yes

(There will be peace in the valley for me, some day)
There will be peace in the valley for me, oh Lord I pray
)There'll be no sadness, no sorrow
No trouble, trouble I see)
There will be peace in the valley for me, for me

Well the bear will be gentle
And the wolves will be tame
And the lion shall lay down by the Lamb, oh yes
And the beasts from the wild
Shall be led by a child
And I'll be changed, changed from this creature that I am, oh yes
