    My Savior First Of All

    Here is a Fanny Crosby Song I was introduced to today in church.

    My Savior First of All

    When my life work is ended, and I cross the swelling tide,
    When the bright and glorious morning I shall see;
    I shall know my Redeemer when I reach the other side,
    And His smile will be the first to welcome me.

    Refrain

    I shall know Him, I shall know Him,
    And redeemed by His side I shall stand,
    I shall know Him, I shall know Him,
    By the print of the nails in His hand.

    Oh, the soul thrilling rapture when I view His blessèd face,
    And the luster of His kindly beaming eye;
    How my full heart will praise Him for the mercy, love and grace,
    That prepare for me a mansion in the sky.

    Refrain

    Oh, the dear ones in glory, how they beckon me to come,
    And our parting at the river I recall;
    To the sweet vales of Eden they will sing my welcome home;
    But I long to meet my Savior first of all.

    Refrain

    Through the gates to the city in a robe of spotless white,
    He will lead me where no tears will ever fall;
    In the glad song of ages I shall mingle with delight;
    But I long to meet my Savior first of all.

    Refrain

    Valley of Vision: A Collection of Puritan Prayers and Devotions

    Purification from The Valley of Vision

    Lord Jesus,

    I sin- Grant that I may never cease grieving because of it, never be content with myself, never think I can reach a point of perfection.

    Kill my envy, command my tongue, trample down self.

    Give me grace to be holy, kind, gentle, pure, peaceable, to live for thee and not for self, to copy thy words, acts spirit, to be transformed into thy likeness, to be consecrated wholly to thee, to live entirely to thy glory.

    Deliver me from attachment to things unclean, from wrong associations, from the predominance of evil passions, from the sugar of sin as well as its gall, that with self-loathing, deep contrition, earnest heart searching I may come to thee, cast myself on thee, trust in thee, cry to thee, be delivered by thee.

    O God, the Eternal All, help me to know that all things are shadows, but thou art substance, all things are quicksands, but thou art mountain, all things are shifting, but thou art anchor, all things are ignorance, but thou art wisdom.

    If my life is to be a crucible amid burning heat, so be it, but thou sit at the furnace mouth to watch the ore that nothing be lost.

    If I sin wilfully, grievously, tormentedly, in grace take away my mourning and give me music; remove my sackcloth and clothe me with beauty; still my sighs and fill my mouth with song, then give me summer weather as a Christian.
