A Beautiful Life

Album: The Last Sunday (1973)

1. Each day I'll do a golden deed
By helping those who are in need
My life on earth is but a span
And so I'll do the best I can

(Chorus)
Life's evening sun (life's evening sun) is sinking low (is sinking low)
A few more days (a few more days) and I must go (and I must go)
To meet the deeds (to meet the deeds) that I have done (that I have done)
Where there will be (where there will be) no setting sun (no setting sun)

2. While going down life's weary load
I'll try to lift some traveler's load
I'll try to turn the night to day
Make flowers bloom along the way

Repeat Chorus


Abide with Me

Albums: Beyond the Sunset (1964)

1. Abide with me; fast falls the eventide
The darkness deepens; Lord with me abide
When other helpers fail and comfort me
Help of the helpless, O abide with me

2. I need Thy presence every passing day*
What but Thy grace can foil the tempter's pow'r?
Who, like Thyself, my Guide and Stay can be?
Thro' clouds and sunshine, O abide with me

(* Note: The text of the hymn actually reads "hour," rhyming with "pow'r" in the next line. It is believed Clark made a mistake here that was not caught before the album went off to production.)

(Narration)
Lord, I need Thy presence every passing hour
Nothing but Thy grace can foil the tempter's power
Who like Thyself, my guide and stay can be?
Through cloud and sunshine, O, Lord, abide with me

Heaven's morning breaks, and earth's vain shadows flee
In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me
In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me

1. Noah said, "Lord when will it rain?
"My body's all bent with my aches and pain
"Everybody calls me a foolish man
"It looks like the end of the line."
The Lord said, "Noah, keep building the ark
"One day soon it's gonna get real dark
"But you'll come through singing like a lark
"All in God's own time."

(Chorus)
All in God's own time, my friend
All in God's own time
Even when you can't seem to get ahead
Or always falling behind
Now don't you feel blue, don't you feel so bad
When it looks like the end of the line
He's gonna work out all of your plans
All in God's own time.

2. Moses said, "Lord what will I do?
"These Hebrew children got me feeling blue
"They just won't live like you want 'em to
"It looks like the end of the line"
God said, "Moses, you're a real good man
"Keep on moving just like we planned
"Soon you'll get to the promised Land
"All in God's own time"

3. Job said, "Lord, I might as well be dead
"You took my children and everything I had
"I'm hurtin' all over and I feel so bad
"It looks like the end of the line"
God said, "Job, don't you fuss and fret
"Listen, boy, I never failed you yet
"I'm gonna give you back everything that you had
"All in God's own time."

Repeat Chorus

(Tag)
God's own time
God's own time
All in God's own time

Albums: Beyond the Sunset (1964)

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

(Narration)
You know, friends, through many dangers, toils and snares
I've already walked down here in this old world below
And you know something else?
If it hadn't've been for the grace of the good Lord, I've never made it this far
And it's that same grace, yes, that same kind of grace
That's gonna lead me home
And I'll see my Lord, yes, I want to see Jesus, one of these days

2. When we've been there ten thousand years
Bright shining as the sun
We've no less days to sing God's praise
Then we first begun

Sweetly singing o'er the plains
And the mountains in reply
Echo back their joyous strains

Gloria in excelsis Deo
In excelsis Deo

Him whose birth the angels sing
Come adore on bended knee
Christ the Lord, the newborn King

At the Cross

Albums: Voices in Praise / A Capella (1983)

1. Alas, and did my Savior bleed?
And did my Soverign die?
Did He devote His sacred head
For such a worm as I?

(Chorus)
At the cross, at the cross, where I first saw the light
And the burden of my heart rolled away
It was there by faith I received my sight
And now I am happy all the day

2. But drops of grief can ne'er repay
The debt of love I owe
Dear Lord, I give myself away
'Tis all that I can do

Repeat Chorus
