Go Down, Moses!: None But the Righteous
Edited by Leonidas A. Johnson
Matthew 17–18
“None But the Righteous”
OH, none but the righteous,
None but the righteous,
None but the righteous shall see God.
1 Come, Thou fount of ev’ry blessing,
Tune my heart to sing Thy praise;
Streams of mercy, never ceasing,
Call for songs of loudest praise.
2 Here I raise my Ebenezer,
Hither by Thy help I come;
And I hope, by Thy good pleasure,
Safely to arrive at home.
3 Jesus sought me when a stranger,
Wand’ring from the fold of God;
He, to rescue me from danger,
Interposed His precious blood.
4 O to grace how great a debtor,
Daily I’m constrained to be!
Let that grace, Lord, like a fetter,
Bind my wand’ring heart to Thee.
(Boatner and Townsend 1927, 8)

“Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child”
1 SOMETIMES I feel like a motherless child, (3x)
A long ways from home; A long ways from home.
True believer, A long ways from home,
A long ways from home.
2 Sometimes I feel like I’m almos’ gone, (3x)
Way up in de heab’nly lan’;
Way up in de heab’nly lan’.
True believer, way up in de heab’nly lan’,
Way up in the heab’nly lan’.
3 Sometimes I feel like a motherless child, (3x)
A long ways from home.
