The Summons TFWS 2130
1. Will you come and follow me if I but call your name? Will you go where you don't know and never by the same? Will you let my love be shown, will you let my name be known, will you let me life be grown in you and you in me? 2. Will you leave yourself behind if I but call your name? Will you care for cruel and kind and never be the same? Will you risk the hostile stare should your life attract or scare? Will you let me answer prayer in you and you in me?

Since Jesus Came Into MY Heart TFWS 2140 1. What a wonderful change in my life has been wrought since Jesus came into my heart! I have light in my soul for which long I had sought, since Jesus came into my heart! Since Jesus came into my heart, Since Jesus came into my heart, Floods of joy o'er my soul like the sea billows roll, Since Jesus came into my heart. 2. I have ceased from my wandering and going astray, since Jesus came into my heart! And my sins, which were many, are all washed away, since Jesus came into my heart!
