Evangelist's Hymnal

compiled by Harry Mills of Harrow

Our brother was exercised in about 1995 to produce a new collection of gospel hymns. The Lord saw fit to call him home shortly afterwards before the collection could be published. The hymns listed here are the selections that he made. Chapter Two has many of these in music script form. Our brother chose the tunes and the type-setting was almost complete. If any are interested they may be able to view them at Chapter Two. An initial attempt was made to edit some of the archaic expressions while retaining addressing the Lord using 'Thou'. Users will notice a number of places where no conclusion was reached with the editing.

Section 1 A blessing for you — Christ the Saviour of sinners came into the world to save
Section 2 Come every soul by sin oppressed, there’s mercy with the Lord — Great is Thy faithfulness, O God my Father!
Section 3 Hail to the Lord’s Anointed! Great David’s greater Son — I have a Friend whose faithful love is more than all the world to me.
Section 4 I have a Saviour: He’s pleading in glory — Jesus died for sinners, on the cross He bled, to redeem from hell my guilty soul.
Section 5 Jesus, lover of my soul, let me to Thy bosom fly — My faith looks up to Thee, Thou Lamb of Calvary
Section 6 My God I have found the thrice blessèd ground — Oh, what a gift the Father gave when He bestowed His Son
Section 7 Oh, what a glorious truth is this—Jesus died! — Seek you first, not earthly pleasure, ... but the love that knows no measure
Section 8 Shall hymns of grateful love through heaven’s high arches ring — The wanderer no more will roam
Section 9 The whole world was lost in the darkness of sin: The Light of the world is Jesus — ’Twas not for our great love to Thee that Thou didst send Thy Son
Section 10 Wandering far from God I found myself one weary day — “Yet there is room!”

Hark how the gospel trumpet
Hark my soul it is
Hark sinner while God
Hark ten thousand voices
Hark the glorious gospel
Hark the gospel news
Hark the Saviours voice

Hast thou heard Gods wondrous message
Hast thou heard Him
Have you any room
Have you been to Jesus
Have you heard the voice of Jesus
Have you read the story
Have you thought what
He dies, He dies
He found me the lost and
He left the brightness
He saves because He will
Hear the Saviour at the door
Hearken the day of God's
Hearken to the gospel story
Himself He could not save
His hands were pierced
His name is Jesus! None beside
Ho everyone that is thirsty
Ho ye thirsty, Jesus calls you
How good is the God we adore

I have a Saviour, He's pleading
I have a song
I hear the Saviour say
I hear Thy welcome voice
I heard the voice of Jesus
I know not why
I lay my sins on Jesus
I looked to Jesus
I love to sing of Jesus
I love to tell the story
I need Thee precious Jesus
I once was a stranger
I serve a risen Saviour
I stand all amazed
I take Jesus
I take Thy promise
I was a wandering sheep
I was once far away
I was sinking
I will sing of my Redeemer
I will sing the wondrous
I would love to tell
I would sing of Jesus
I'd rather have Jesus
If I gained the world, but not the Saviour
In tenderness He sought me
In loving-kindness Jesus came
In the land of strangers
In times like these
In Thy book where
Is there a heart that is
Is there a sinner
It is a thing most wonderful
It is finished
It is the blood, Christ’s precious blood
It passeth knowledge
It was down at the feet
I've found a Friend, oh, such a Friend!
I've found a Friend who is all to me
I've read of a Saviour
I’ve wandered far away from God

Jesus calls us o'er the tumult
Jesus can all your sins
Jesus Christ is passing by
Jesus I will trust Thee
Jesus is a Friend of mine
Jesus is a glorious Saviour
Jesus is a loving Saviour
Jesus is coming
Jesus is Lord
Jesus is tenderly calling
Jesus lingers still—’tis for you He waits
Jesus lived, He lived for sinners

Jesus died for sinners

Section 6

My God I have found
My heart is fixed
My hope on nothing less is built
My sins have been cast in the depths of the sea
My song is love unknown
My song shall be of Jesus
My tongue shall spread the Saviour’s fame

Name of Jesus! Highest name!
No act of power
No silver or gold has obtained my redemption
Not all the blood of beasts
Not all the gold
Nothing either great or small
Nothing to pay!

O what a Saviour, how great
O what a Saviour is Jesus
O what a Saviour that He died
O what has Jesus done for me
O what will you do with Jesus
O word of words the sweetest
O why not say yes
Of all the gifts
On Calvary’s brow my Saviour died
On Christ salvation rests
On His Fathers throne is seated
On that bright and golden
Once again the gospel
Once from glory’s height descending
Once we stood in condemnation
One day when heaven
One there is who loves thee
Only a step
Our Lord is now rejected
Our sins were borne by Jesus
Ours is a pardon
Out in the desert
Out of my bondage

Pass me not
Passing onward
Peace was procured
Praise the Lord who died
Praise the Saviour we who know Him
Precious name the name of
Precious precious blood
Precious word of deepest meaning
Prove Him an almighty Saviour

Shall we gather at His
She only touched the hem of
Simply trusting every day
Since Christ my soul
Sing the Saviours praises ye redeemed
Sing them over again to me
Sinner how thy heart
Sinners Jesus will receive
Softly and tenderly
Soldiers of Christ arise
Sometimes my heart
Sowing in the morning
Sowing the seed
Stand up & bless the Lord
Stand up stand up for Jesus
Standing on the promises

Tell me the old old story
Tell me the story of Jesus
Tell out the gospel of God
Tell out the Saviours fame
Ten thousand thanks to Jesus
That grand word “Whosoever”
The blessed Saviour
The Bible tells of Jesus
The Bible tells us Jesus came
The dear old story
The gospel bells are ringing
The gospel is of God
The gospel of Thy grace
The great atoning work
The head that once was crowned
The King of love my Shepherd is
The Lamb was slain
The lord of love
The Lords my Shepherd

Section 9

The whole world was lost
There comes to my heart
There is a better world
There is a city bright
There is a gate
There is a green hill
There is love that
There is a name I love to hear
There is a stream of precious blood
There is a wondrous story
There is forgiveness
There is life in a look
There is mercy for all
There is none other but Jesus
There shall be showers of blessing
There were ninety and nine
There was One who was willing to die in my stead
Theres a home
Theres a land that is fairer than day
Theres a voice that is calling
Theres rest for thee
Theres a Stranger at the door
Theres a wideness
They nailed my Lord upon the tree
They spake to Him
Thou alone Lord Jesus canst
Thou didst leave thy throne
Thou Thou art worthy
Thou wast the Image
Though your sins
Tho’ your sins may be red
Through the love of God
Through the name of Jesus
Throw out the life-line
Thy life was given for me
Thy Saviour calls O come
Thy works, not mine, O Christ
Time is earnest
Tis a faithful word and true
Tis a true and faithful saying
Tis so sweet to trust
Tis the gospel of God
To God be the glory
To the work
To this world of sin
To us our God His love commends
To-day Thy mercy calls us
Twas for me my Saviour
Twas not for our great love

Section 10

Wandering far from God
Was it for me
We are glad we ever heard
We have found a friend in Jesus
We have heard the joyful sound
We know theres a bright
We praise Thee O God
We saw Thee not
We sing the praise of Him
We speak of the mercy
Weeping will not save me
Well may we sing
We're travelling home to heaven
What a friend we have in Jesus
What a wonderful change
What can wash away
What means this eager
What think ye of christ
What was it blessed God
What will ye do in that
When all my labours
When first I heard
When first o'erwhelmed
When God of old
When I fear my faith will fail
When I survey
When peace like a river
When the Saviour said
When the trumpet of the Lord
When this passing world
When upon lifes billows
When wandering far
When we walk with the Lord
Where is now the sinners Surety
Where will you spend eternity
Wherefore do you linger
While Jesus whispers to you
While we pray
Who can cheer the heart
Who is He in yonder stall
Who is on the Lords side
Whosoever receiveth the crucfied
Whosoever heareth
Why do you wait
Why in darkness will you stray
Why unbelieving why wilt
Why wilt thou linger
Will you take Jesus
Will your anchor hold
Wilt thou come or wilt thou linger
Wilt thou yield to loves
With harps and with vials
Wonderful grace of Jesus
Wonderful love that rescued me
Wonderful story of love
Wondrous love of Jesus
Wondrous is the simple story
Wounded for me

Years I spent in vanity and pride
Yes, mercy’s gate stands open wide
Yet there is room!
Ye servants of God
