616.  I HEAR THY WELCOME VOICE
                          YO ESCUCHO BUEN JESUS
                   Psalm 51 .7 CONSECRATION / Psalm 65.3 REVIVAL

                I hear Thy welcome voice, thy loving tender voice,
              That from the height of Calvary, bids every sinner come;
                 I have sinned, my Lord! I'm ashamed and vile!
                Make me thine in every way, the object of thy love!
                                 2
               Thy offer is to cleanse and blot out sinner's shame,
              If weeping my heart comes to thee, to seek thy charity;
                  I have sinned, my Lord! Take mercy on me!
            Let my tears show thee my pain, come wash away my stain!
                                 3
                 Thy reward to magnify believer's faith in thee,
              Abundant grace bestow upon all they that on thee wait;
                   I believe, my Lord! Thou art all my hope!
                Grant thy boundless love to me, 'tis all I ever need.
             617.  I AM HOPING FOR THE MORNING
                          'liiESPERO i.JfMANANA
                       Ps 119.106 SLEEP / Rev 21.4 HOPE
             I am hoping for the morning, of that day without compare,
               Where all happiness is flowing, a day of eternal joy.
                              CHORUS
                 //Always hoping// for a life free from all pain,
           Where a welcome is awaiting from Lord Jesus Christ my Friend.
                                 2
               I am hoping for the vict'ry, against death I will prevail,
               I'll receive eternal glory and a crown upon my head.
                                 3
            I am hoping for the heavens, where love reigns forevermore,
            I'm a pilgrim and I'm yearning, for the dwellings of the Lord.
                                 4
              To the celestial triumphant, I will soon unite my song,
             All my cries will be translated with the anthem of the blest.
