1. Out of the starry sky
From that bright home on high
Jesus is soon to appear
Coming to claim His own
Bound for that Heavenly home
Casting aside doubt and fear
When the last trump shall sound
We'll move to higher ground
Leaving behind every care
Saints will unite once more
Praising the Risen Lord
Heaven's enchantments to share
(Chorus)
Oh, come along with me and go to that land
Where milk and honey flow so free
God has prepared that city with His own hand
And there's a mansion waiting me (I have a mansion waiting me)
We'll spend the endless ages praising His name
As we sing redemption's song
Oh, we'll be leaving just any day
Suddenly called away
Don't stay behind, oh, come along
Repeat Chorus
Tag:
We'll be leaving just any day
Suddenly called away
Don't stay behind, oh, come along
Oh, come along, come along

Albums: Oh Happy Day (1982)
1. Once a traveler I was wandering down a road rough and dusty
Satan had me blinded to the things of the Lord
I didn't know the peace of Jesus, was unaware salvation pleases
Till I trusted Him completely by reading God's Word
(Chorus)
Oh, how sweet to rest in the arms of Jesus
Oh, how sweet to know I'm safe from all harm
Just to know He has saved me, with His mercy forgave me
Oh, how sweet to lean on Jesus' strong arms
2. He is building me a mansion; His perfect plan needs no expansion
I can hear the raptured church start to sing "Amazing Grace"
There'll be sunshine and laughter and joy ever after
As we march round walls of japser, see Jesus face to face
Repeat Chorus
(Tag)
Oh how sweet, oh how sweet to lean on Jesus' strong arms
Oh, How I Love Jesus

Albums: Family Album (~1968)
Oh, how I love Jesus
Because He first loved me
1. When I am discouraged and I'm filled with blue
God sends His angels to sing in My room
I join the singing, I can't decline
I know, I know that Jesus is mine
2. When I should feel lonely or I should feel sad
Though I'm so contented and my heart is so glad
Joy-bells are ringing in my heart and singing
It's wonderful to know He is mine
(Chorus)
To me He is so wonderful
(Oh, how I love Jesus)
To me He is so wonderful
(Oh, how I love Jesus)
To me He is so wonderful
(Oh, how I love Jesus)
To know that He is mine
The Old Account Was Settled Long Ago
Author: Unknown.

Album: The Best of Times (1991)
1. There was a time, I know
When in the book of Heaven
An old account was standing
For sins yet unforgiven
My name was at the top
And many things below
But I went to the Keeper
And settled long ago
(Chorus)
Long ago (down on my knees)
Long ago (I settled it all)
Yes the old account was settled long ago (hallelujah)
And the record's clear today
For He washed my sins away
When the old account was settled long ago
2. The old account was large
And larger every day
For I was always sinning
And never tried to pay
But when I looked ahead
And saw such pain and woe
I said that I would settle
And settle long ago
3. When at the judgment bar
I stand before my King
And here, the book will open
And cannot find a thing
Then my heart will be glad
While tears of joy will flow
Because I had it settled
And settled long ago
4. O sinner, seek the Lord
Repent of all your sin
For thus He has commanded
If you would enter in
And then if I should live
A hundred years below
Up there, I'll not regret it
I settled long ago
Repeat Chorus
The Old Rugged Cross

Albums: Beyond the Sunset (1964)
1. On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross
The emblem of suffering and shame
And I love that old cross where the dearest and best
For a world of lost sinners was slain
(Chorus)
So I'll cherish the old rugged cross
Till my trophies at last I lay down
I will cling to the old rugged cross
And exchange it someday for a crown

Albums: A Cathedral Christmas A Capella (1985)
O little town of Bethlehem
How still we see thee lie!
Above Thy deep and dreamless sleep
The silent stars go by
Yet in thy dark streets shineth
The everlasting Light
The hopes and fears of all the years
Are met in thee tonight
We hear the Christmas angels
The great, glad tidings tell
O come to us, abide with us
Our Lord Emmanuel!
Our Lord Emmanuel!
Old Convention Song

Albums: Old Convention Song (1985)
1. We used to come from miles around
And have dinner on the ground
Underneath those old shade trees
And sing the old songs in shape-notes
In four-part harmony
Like "He Set Me Free" and "Get Right with Me"
And "Anywhere is Home"
How long has it been
Ssince you heard an old convention song?
(Chorus 1)
How long (how long) has it been (has it been)
Since you heard "After A While"?
How long (how long) since you heard (since you heard)
"Give the World a Smile"?
How long (how long) since you heard (since you heard)
"I'm Winging My Way Back Home"
How long (how long) has it been (has it been)
Since you heard an old convention song?
2. Gospel songs today have a lot to say
They lift you up when you're feeling down
Some have a country flavor, some have a modern sound
They all serve the need of planting seeds, so I guess they can't go wrong
But there's none so dear as when I hear an old convention song.
(Chorus 2)
I still (I still) love to hear (love to hear)
Those old convention songs
That I heard (that I heard) as a child (as a child)
When we sang them all day long
Like "I'm A-Gonna Walk" and "Just a Little Talk"
And "All the day long"
How long (how long) has it been (has it been)
Since you heard an old convention song
Repeat Chorus 1
