Instrumental Hymns for Studying

Lyrics & Chords: https://songbase.life/3903

The culmination of what we've enjoyed this past college training (2021)!

We Must Rise Up And Build!

You are awesome o God

The voices are back and I feel less lonely

Here is our official Champaign Students CD! The album is officially titled "What A Christ We Have". Lots of time and labor went into the making of this CD, so we hope you really enjoy it and we hope that the saints we distribute this out to will enjoy it as well. Praise the Lord!

11 The Son Of God Is In My Spirit (Reprise)

05 I'm Coming Again To This Fountain Within

Butterflies, God's economy, and You

Let me hear your voice

(812) I come to Thee, dear Lord

Choose To Be An Overcomer (Instrument)

Once I Thirsted (Middle East Style)

Once it was the blessing,
Now it is the Lord;
Once it was the feeling,
Now it is His Word;
Once His gift I wanted,
Now, the Giver own;
Once I sought for healing,
Now Himself alone.

Chorus:
All in all forever,
Only Christ I’ll sing;
Everything is in Christ,
And Christ is everything.

Once ’twas painful trying,
Now ’tis perfect trust;
Once a half salvation,
Now the uttermost;
Once ’twas ceaseless holding,
Now He holds me fast;
Once ’twas constant drifting,
Now my anchor’s cast.

Once ’twas busy planning,
Now ’tis trustful prayer;
Once ’twas anxious caring,
Now He has the care;
Once ’twas what I wanted,
Now what Jesus says;
Once ’twas constant asking,
Now ’tis ceaseless praise.

Once it was my working,
His it hence shall be;
Once I tried to use Him,
Now He uses me;
Once the pow’r I wanted,
Now the Mighty One;
Once for self I labored,
Now for Him alone.

Once I hoped in Jesus,
Now I know He’s mine;
Once my lamps were dying,
Now they brightly shine;
Once for death I waited,
Now His coming hail;
And my hopes are anchored
Safe within the veil.

Once It Was The Blessing (Hymn 513)

1
Immersed in Thy love;
Fresher than morning dew;
Here I'm kept away from every earthly care.
Such tender feeling;
Caressed by my Beloved;
You're the loveliest, much fairer than the fair.

Chorus:
Moments with You,
How affectionate!
Now I seize this opportunity to say
That I love You.
I will be with You
All my days, come what may.

2
I cannot help it;
I'm so in love with You
For I've tasted Your divine heavenly wine.
I'm soaked with Thy love,
I pour my all on You.
What my future holds for me, my Lord are Thine.

3
I'm so attracted
By Your constraining love,
And Your Name is sweet as ointment poured forth
I'm captivated by Your dear Person, Lord.
Draw me from this age to pursue only You

Immersed With Thy Love

1. Since long ago at Bethany we parted,
 Within my heart there is a ceaseless void;
 How can I take my harp down from the willow?
 How can my songs without Thee be enjoyed?
 And when at night I’m keeping lonely vigil-
 Grown numb alike to sorrow and to cheer-
 Then I recall the promise of Thy coming,
 But sigh: O Lord, why, why Thou dost not yet appear?
2. Thy manger wakes the thought: I too am homeless;
 Thy cross strips earthly pleasures from my soul;
 Thy coming bids me seek a better country,
 For Thou Thyself art now my final goal.
 Since Thou art gone my joy has lost its flavor,
 My song the sweetness I would fain convey.
 Since Thou art gone the sense of void o’erwhelms me.
 Oh, how I long that Thou wilt come and not delay.
3. Though even now I know Thy loving presence,
 Yet in my heart there’s still a sense of lack.
 Enlightening and tenderest sustaining
 Can no more satisfy: I want Thee back.
 Despite Thy peace within, I still feel lonely;
 Despite Thy joy there still remains a sigh;
 When I feel most content, the silent yearning
 To see Thee face to face becomes an uttered cry.
4. What exile cannot but desire his homeland
 And long his people once again to greet?
 What soul on alien soil forgets his kindred?
 What parted lovers never yearn to meet?
 O Lord, how can these earthly loves and pleasures
 With all the joy of Thy return compare?
 Then, if I cannot here behold Thy countenance,
 What can I do but sigh till Thou, my Lord, appear?
5. Could’st Thou, O Lord, forget Thy word of promise
 Soon to return and take me unto Thee?
 Yet day by day and year by year I’ve waited
 And still I wait, and no return I see!
 Remember, Lord, the years I have been waiting
 While Thy dear footsteps linger far away.
 How long? How long? Oh! must I wait still longer
 Till Thou shalt come again in glorious array?
6. From generation unto generation
 Thy saints have come and gone, but have not seen
 Thy glorious promise pass into fulfillment.
 How long, how very long the time has been!
 Why cannot we, dear Lord, discern Thy footsteps?
 Why are the heavens still so closely sealed?
 Oh! must our waiting be prolonged still further
 Before Thou in Thy matchless splendor art revealed?
7. Lord, I recall the many years I’ve waited
 For Thy return-yet, Lord, not I alone,
 But Thy dear saints through many generations-
 Beseeching Thee to come back for Thine own.
 To countless tears and countless fervent pleadings,
 By Thine appearing haste to make reply.
 Oh, may Thou come, the echo of the ages,
 Come, come and answer now this mighty corp’rate cry!

Since Long Ago At Bethany / New Tune (Mark's Song)

Companionship Song

I Love Thee, Jesus (Hymns!, #1154 Instrumental with Trumpet and Guitar)

Key: D Major

1
God hath not promised skies always blue,
Flower-strewn pathways all our lives through;
God hath not promised sun without rain,
Joy without sorrow, peace without pain.

Chorus:
But God hath promised strength for the day,
Rest for the labor, light for the way,
Grace for the trials, help from above,
Unfailing sympathy, undying love.

2
God hath not promised we shall not know
Toil and temptation, trouble and woe;
He hath not told us we shall not bear
Many a burden, many a care.

3
God hath not promised smooth roads and wide,
Swift, easy travel, needing no guide;
Never a mountain, rocky and steep,
Never a river, turbid and deep.

God Hath Not Promised - BF169 (Instrumental-G)

Key: F# Major

1. Whence cometh all this affliction?
Should envy and hatred reign?
What happened to love of brethren?
Instead what prevails is pain.
When strife and contention would shake my faith,
I turn to His words, His promise made
And thus I'm reminded:

(Chorus)
I have a heav'nly dream of sheaves of wheat,
Of men so full of life for all to feed;
I dream of sun, moon, and stars
Shining bright in the dark.
So when I see you and me,
I know our destiny as stars and sheaves.

2. We longed for a home together,
In blessed commune with God.
Yet now while enslaved and fallen,
All striving just ends in nought.
Imprisoned so long, no end in sight;
That final abode my sole delight.
Someday, we shall see it!

3. Oh dreamer of God, don't falter
Though challenges life may bring,
Though none may believe that vision
That one day we'll reign as kings.
Have faith in His plan though far it may seem.
O never lose heart! Still speak God's dream!
Believe! Be encouraged!

(Chorus 2)
For we have a heav'nly dream of sheaves of wheat,
Of men so full of life for all to feed;
We dream of sun, moon, and stars
Shining bright in the dark.
So when I see you and me,
I know our destiny as stars and sheaves.

... I dream of stars and sheaves.

Stars And Sheaves - (Instrumental-P)

Let everything that has breath praise Jehovah!

Once I Thirsted (Middle East Style)
