HYMN IN TONGUES
Sung by Sister Kate Turner, afterwards, in interpretation, at
the Gallands Grove, Iowa, District Conference, June 4, 1893.
Rejoice! for I, your God, am nigh,
Your prayers ascend to me on high;
Your weary hearts shall strengthened be
If you will put your trust in me.
Rejoice! and do my sovereign will,
My arms of love are round you still;
My angels, too, shall guide the way,
And lead you on to endless day.
My holy law you must obey,
And walk within the narrow way;
And I will be your shield and guide,
Whatever evil may betide.
Ye sad and weary, worn and tossed,
Look unto me and fear no loss;
This holy promise keep in view,
That I will bring you conqueror through.
Ye chosen servants of your God.
Go forth glad news to spread abroad;
The field is white, the harvest reap,
No more the world in error keep.
Go forth and labor with your might;
My power shall ever with you be,
Yea, darkness shall be changed to light,
And many souls shall be made free.
Lift up your heads, I hear your voice,
Your many sins are now forgiven;
With you my angels here rejoice;
Your names are written, too, in heaven.
Ye who have sought the narrow way,
And yet outside the kingdom stand,
Arise! the gospel truth obey,
The day is now, the time's at hand.
Salvation's free, 'tis free to all,
To all who do my sovereign will;
The Spirit and the Bride say, "Come"
This holy mandate to fulfill.
