Heavenly Parade
J.T. Cook/A.M. Pace
Verse 1
Our traveling days will soon be over here and we shall cross the rolling tide
For we’re down here for just a little while and our home is on the other side.
Ambassadors true for Jesus our Redeemer and it is a love crusade
For right against the wrong but soon we’ll join the throng in Heaven in the saints parade.
Chorus 1 - Lead
For Heaven’s King, we gladly sing the story old yet ever new.
In glory land with that glad band we’ll promenade in Heaven’s parade.
Verse 2
So happy are we in telling you my friend that Jesus can redeem your soul
From every known sin and make you pure within, joy billows o’er you then will roll.
A happy new song you’ll e’er begin to sing to Jesus, He the way hath made
To glory land fair, you’ll have a mansion there and join us in the saints parade.
Chorus 2 - Tenor
For Heaven’s King, we will gladly sing the story, sweet story old and yet tis ever new
In the glory land, with the glad and happy band yes, we’ll promenade in Heaven’s grand parade
Chorus 3 - Bass
For Heaven’s own King, for Heaven’s holy King so gladly we will shout and sing the blessed old story, song it for His glory, it is old yet ever new.
In glory land fair up yonder in the air with that eternal happy band, we’ll promenade there and never know a care in Heaven in the grand parade.
Chorus 4 - Baritone
For Heaven’s King of glory we will gladly sing the story, wonderful story, tis old yet tis ever new
In glory up yonder with that glad and happy band we all then will promenade in Heaven that grand parade.

Jesus Savior, Pilot Me
Edward Hooper/J.E. Gould
Verse 1
Jesus, Savior pilot me over life’s tempetous sea
Unknown waves before me roll, hiding rock and treacherous shoal.
Chart and compass come from Thee, Jesus Savior, pilot me.
Verse 2
As a mother stills her child, Thou canst hush the oceans wild.
Boisterous waves obey Thy Will, when Thou sayest to them be still.
Wondrous Sovereign of the sea, Jesus Savior, pilot me.
Verse 3
And when at last I reach that shore, and the fearful breakers roar,
Twixt me and the peaceful rest, then while leaning on Thy breast.
May I hear Thee say to me, Fear not I will pilot thee.

Jesus Savior, pilot me.

Amazing Grace
John Newton (verses 2, 3, & 4 by James Pike)
Verse 1
Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost but now I’m found
Was blind but now I see

I was lost in sin and bound for hell
No man could set me free
A preacher then God’s Love did tell
That Love brought Grace to me
Verse 3
Twas Grace supplied, Christ precious blood
That down the cross was streamed
Grace brought to us the healing flood
Where by Grace we’ve been redeemed
Verse 4
Now when at last we’re gathered there
Where He’s prepared a place
We’ll sing a new song in that city four square
To thank Him for Amazing Grace
Tag
We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise
Than when we’ve first begun

The Old Account Was Settled Long Ago
F.M. Graham
Verse 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, long ago
Yes, the old account was settled long ago.
And the records clear today for He washed my sins away
When the old account was settled long ago.
Verse 2
The old account was large and larger everyday
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 settled long ago.
Verse 3
When at the judgment bar, I stand before my King
And He 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.
Verse 4
O sinner seek the Lord. Repent of all your sins
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.
Chorus
Long ago, long ago
Yes, the old account was settled long ago.
And the records clear today for He washed my sins away
When the old account was settled long ago.
