What are some older Christian songs?

Words & Music: Ro­bert Low­ry, 1864; first pub­lished in Hap­py Voic­es, 1865, num­ber 220 (MI­DI, score):

Shall we gather at the river,

Where bright angel feet have trod,

With its crystal tide forever

Flowing by the throne of God?

Refrain

Yes, we’ll gather at the river,

The beautiful, the beautiful river;

Gather with the saints at the river

That flows by the throne of God.

On the margin of the river,

Washing up its silver spray,

We will talk and worship ever,

All the happy golden day.

Refrain

Ere we reach the shining river,

Lay we every burden down;

Grace our spirits will deliver,

And provide a robe and crown.

Refrain

At the smiling of the river,

Mirror of the Savior’s face,

Saints, whom death will never sever,

Lift their songs of saving grace.

Refrain

Soon we’ll reach the silver river,

Soon our pilgrimage will cease;

Soon our happy hearts will quiver

With the melody of peace.

Refrain

SOFTLY AND TENDERLY JESUS IS CALLING

Source: http://www.hymnal.net/hymn.php/h/1027#ix%E2%80%A6

Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling—

Calling for you and for me;

Patiently Jesus is waiting and watching—

Watching for you and for me!

REFRAIN:

Come home! come home!

Ye who are weary, come home!

Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling,

Calling, O sinner, come home!

Why should we tarry when Jesus is pleading—

Pleading for you and for me?

Why should we linger and heed not His mercies—

Mercies for you and for me?

Time is now fleeting, the moments are passing—

Passing from you and from me;

Shadows are gathering, death-beds are coming—

Coming for you and for me!

Oh, for the wonderful love He has promised—

Promised for you and for me!

Though we have sinned, He has mercy and pardon—

Pardon for you and for me!

Worship Lyrics

CHRIST BE OUR LIGHT

Longing for light, we wait in darkness

Longing for truth, we turn to You

Make us Your own, Your holy people

Light for the world to see

Christ, be our light

Shine in our hearts, shine through the darkness

Christ, be our light

Shine in Your church gathered today

Longing for peace, our world is troubled

Longing for hope, many despair

Your word alone has pow’r to save us

Make us Your living voice

Longing for food, many are hungry

Longing for water, many still thirst

Make us Your bread, broken for others

Shared until all are fed

Longing for shelter, many are homeless

Longing for warmth, many are cold

Make us Your building, sheltering others

Walls made of living stone

Many the gifts, many the people

Many the hearts that yearn to belong

Let us be servants to one another

Making Your kingdom come

Stanza 1:

O Lord my God,

When I in awesome wonder,

Consider all the world Thy Hand hath made,

I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder,

Thy pow'r throughout the universe displayed;

(Most translate the second line as "worlds thy hands have made")

Refrain:

Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,

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!

Stanza 2:

When through the woods And forest glades I wander

I hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees;

When I look down from lofty mountain grandeur,

and hear the brook and feel the gentle breeze;

Refrain:

Stanza 3:

And when I think, that God, His Son not sparing;

Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in;

That on the Cross, My burden gladly bearing,

He bled and died to take away my sin.

Refrain:

Stanza 4:

When Christ shall come, With shouts 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!"

Refrain:

Many people think of these as "Protestant Hymns",

but we use these in my Catholic parish fairly often.

I am Roman Catholic.

Peace be with you.

Usually when something is children friendly, the older folks will like it, too. So how about something that even the little ones would find safe and heartwarming, and not scary at all...

There Is a Fountain in Christ's Blood

There is a fountain of Christ's blood

Wide open stretched for to drown our sins

Where Jesus stands with open arms

Of mercy to invite us in

His crown of thorns set on with scorn

He sold his pain his fleshly store

With ragged nails through hands and feet

They nailed our rich redeemer sweet

With a bloody spear they pierced his heart

And bruised his bleeding body sore

From every wound the blood ran down

The spring of life could bleed no more

When all his precious blood was spent

The thunder roared and the rocks did rent

The earth did quake and clouds did rumble

Which made hell shake and devils tremble

The sun and moon a-mourning went

The seas did roar and the temples rent

And the richness of Christ's precious blood

Did open graves and raise the dead

How Great Thou Art...by.. Elvis Presley;

A message from Yahweh/Jehovah/The Most High God, Jesus God, Moses the angel God and Zipporah/Christine Anne the prophetess, secretary and woman of Revelation 12:15-17.

God means ruler and angels that are rulers are called Gods, that is why YHWH is The Most HIGH God.
