CLASS HYMN
[ Heading 3a.1 ]
When I Survey The Wondrous Cross
[ Verse 1 ]
When I survey the wondrous cross,
On which the Prince of glory died,
My richest gain I count but loss,
And pour contempt on all my pride.
[ Verse 2 ]
Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast,
Save in the death of Christ, my God;
All the vain things that charm me most,
I sacrifice them to His blood.
[ Verse 3 ]
See, from His head, His hands, His feet,
Sorrow and love flow mingled down;
Did e’er such love and sorrow meet,
Or thorns compose so rich a crown?
[ Verse 4 ]
Were the whole realm of nature mine,
That were a present far too small;
Love so amazing, so divine,
Demands my soul, my life, my all.

[ Heading 4 ]
HE LEADETH ME
[ Verse 1 ]
He leadeth me, O blessed thought!
O words with heavenly comfort fraught!
Whate’er I do, where’er I be,
Still 'tis God’s hand that leadeth me.

Refrain:
He leadeth me, He leadeth me!
By His own hand He leadeth me!
His faithful follower I would be,
For by His hand He leadeth me.
[ Verse 2 ]
Sometimes ’mid scenes of deepest gloom,
Sometimes where Eden’s bowers bloom,
By waters still, o’er troubled sea,
Still ’tis His hand that leadeth me.
[Verse 3 ]
Lord, I would clasp Thy hand in mine,
Nor ever murmur nor repine;
Content, whatever lot I see,
Since 'tis my God that leadeth me.
[ Verse 4 ]
And when my task on earth is done,
When, by Thy grace, the victory’s won,
E’en death’s cold wave I will not flee,
Since God through Jordan leadeth me.
[ Heading 4a ]
STAND UP, STAND UP FOR JESUS
[Verse 1 ]
Stand up, stand up for Jesus, Ye soldiers of the cross,
Lift high His royal banner, It must not suffer loss;
From victory unto victory, His army shall He lead,
Till every foe is vanquished And Christ is Lord indeed.
[ Verse 2 ]
Stand up, stand up for Jesus, The trumpet call obey;
Forth to the mighty conflict, In this His glorious day.
“Ye that are men, now serve Him,” Against unnumbered foes;
Let courage rise with danger, And strength to strength oppose.
[ Verse 3 ]
Stand up, stand up for Jesus, Stand in His strength alone;
The arm of flesh will fail you — Ye dare not trust your own;
Put on the gospel armor, Each piece put on with prayer;
Where duty calls, or danger, Be never wanting there.
[ Verse 4 ]
Stand up, stand up for Jesus, The strife will not be long;
This day the noise of battle, The next, the victor’s song;
To him that overcometh, A crown of life shall be;
He with the King of glory Shall reign eternally.
[ Heading 4b ]
O JESUS, I HAVE PROMISED
[ Verse 1 ]
O Jesus, I have promised To serve Thee to the end;
Be Thou forever near me, My Master and my Friend:
I shall not fear the battle If Thou art by my side.
Nor wander from the pathway If Thou wilt be my guide.
[Verse 2 ]
O let me feel Thee near me; The world is ever near;
I see the sights that dazzle, The tempting sounds I hear:
My foes are ever near me, Around me and within;
But, Jesus, draw Thou nearer, And shield my soul from sin.
[ Verse 3 ]
O Jesus, Thou hast promised To all who follow Thee,
That where Thou art in glory, There shall Thy scrvant be;
And, Jesus, I have promised To serve Thee to the end;
O give me grace to follow, My Master and my Friend.

THE COLLEGE HYMN
[ Verse 1 ]
Jesus our Lord, our Light and our Salvation,
Inspire our lips to sing Thy worthy fame,
Spreading abroad to every tribe and nation,
The saving knowledge of Thy glorious Name.
[ Verse 2 ]
Help us O Lord, to keep our pledge unbroken,
Guard Thou our ways, our thoughts, our tongues,
	our hearts;
Help us to trust the Word which Thou has spoken,
That from Thy paths, our feet may ne’er depart.
[ Verse 3 ]
Here in these halls of learning and devotion
Let mind and heart be taught Thy holy will;
Then lead us forth, amid this world’s commotion,
Our high and sacred calling to fulfill.
[ Verse 4 ]
Help us O Lord! Our strength is only weakness:
Thine, Thine the power by which alone we live;
Help us each day to bear the cross with meekness,
Till Thou at last the promised crown shalt give.
