HYMNS
used on the
Fraser River Indian Mission,
of the
Methodist Church, B. C. Conference.
to which are appended
Hymns in Chinook, and the
Lord’s Prayer and Ten Commandments.
TRANSLATED BY
Rev’s. Thos. Crosby, Chas. M Tate,
and Wm. H Barraclough, B.A., Missionaries.
Compiled and Printed by Rev. W.H. Barraclough,
Chilliwack, B.C. 1898.
The following hymns are in the Chill-way-uk dialect of the language of the Alkomaylum nation of Indians, who live along the Fraser River, from Yale to the Coast, and on Vancouver Island, at Cowichan and Nanaimo. The Alkomaylum, (or Ankomeenum, sometimes called Stawlo or River language,) as spoken by the Cowichans, is sweet and rythmical. The Chillwayuk dialect is harsher and more guttural. The Nanaimos, the Yales, the Sumas, the Kwantuls, etc. of B.C., and the Nooksaks of Wash., U.S.A., each speak a slightly different dialect of the same language.
` When before k, sound the letter by pressing the back of the tongue against the soft palate, and expelling the letter with a clicking sound. When before t, ts, or tz, press the tip of the tongue against the hard palate, and expel the sound as before.
kh, Is sounded by lightly pressing the back of the tongue against the soft palate, and emitting the sound in a slurring manner.
tl, and lth, Are sounded by pressing the tip of the tongue against the hard palate and emit as in kh.
a, Is pronounced ah; while all others are regular as in English.
T.C., C.M.T., and W.H.B., at the end of each hymn, are the initials of the translators.

Arise, my soul arise,
Shake off thy guilty fears;
The bleeding sacrifice
In my behalf appears;
Before the throne my surety stands;
My name is written on his hands.

When will the moment come,
When I shall lay my armor by,
And dwell in peace at home.

And we’ll be gathered home.

1 I am so glad that our Father in Heaven
Tells of His love in the Book He has given,
Wonderful things in the Bible I see,
This is the dearest, that Jesus loves me.
||: I am so glad that Jesus loves me, :||
Jesus loves even me.
2 Though I forget Him and wander away,
Still He doth love me wherever I stray;
Back to His dear loving arms would I flee,
When I remember that Jesus loves me.
3 Jesus loves me, and I know I love Him,
Love brought Him down my poor soul to redeem.
Yes! it was love made Him die on the tree,
Oh! I am certain that Jesus loves me.

1 Come, thou Fount of every blessing,
Tune my heart to sing thy grace,
Streams of mercy never ceasing,
Call for songs of loudest praise.
I love Jesus, hallelujah, &c.
2 Teach me some celestial measure,
Sung by ransomed hosts above;
Oh, the vast, the boundless treasure,
Of my Lord’s unchanging love.

1 There’s a land that is fairer than day,
And by faith we can see it afar,
For the Father waits over the way,
To prepare us a dwelling place there.
||: In the sweet by-and-bye,
We shall meet on that beautiful shore. :||
2 We shall meet, we shall sing, we shall reign
In the land where the saved never die;
We shall rest free from sorrow and pain,
Safe at home in the sweet by-and-bye.

1 My God and Father, while I stray
Far from my home, on life’s rough way,
Oh, teach me from my heart to say,
“Thy will be done.”
2 What tho’ in lonely grief I sigh
For friends beloved, no longer nigh,
Submissive still would I reply,
“Thy will be done.”
3 Renew my will from day to day,
Blend it with thine, and take away
All that now makes it hard to say,
“Thy will be done.”

When I can read my title clear
To mansions in the skies,
I’ll bid farewell to every fear,
And wipe my weeping eyes.

We will anchor by-and-bye. :||

1 What can wash away my stain,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
What can make me whole again,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
O precious is the flow,
That makes me white as snow;
No other fount I know,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
2 Nothing can for sin atone,
Naught of good that I have done.

Holy Spirit, faithful Guide,
Ever near the Christian’s side,
Gently lead us by the hand,
Pilgrims in a desert land;
Weary souls fore’er rejoice,
While they hear that sweetest voice,
Whispering softly, ‘Wanderer, come!
Follow me, I’ll guide thee home.’

Till every foe is vanquished,
And Christ is Lord indeed.

1 There is a fountain filled with blood,
Drawn from Immanuel’s veins;
And sinners, plunged beneath that flood,
Lose all their guilty stains.
2 The dying thief rejoiced to see
That fountain in his day;
And there may I, though vile as he
Wash all my sins away.
3 O dying Lamb, thy precious blood
Shall never lose its power,
Till all the ransomed Church of God
Be saved to sin no more.

1 Jesus shall reign where’er the sun
Doth his successive journeys run;
His kingdom stretch from shore to shore,
Till suns shall rise and set no more.
2 For him shall endless prayer be made,
And praises throng to crown his head;
His name like sweet perfume shall rise
With every morning sacrifice.
3 Let every creature rise, and bring
Its grateful honors to our King;
Angels descend with songs again,
And earth prolong the joyful strain.

1 Come, Holy Spirit, heavenly Dove,
With all thy quickening powers;
Kindle a flame of sacred love
In these cold hearts of ours.
2 In vain we tune our formal songs,
In vain we strive to rise;
Hosannas languish on our tongues,
And our devotion dies.
3 Come, Holy Spirit, heavenly Dove,
With all thy quickening powers;
Come, shed abroad the Savior’s love,
And that shall kindle ours.

Jesus, Lover of my soul,
Let me to thy bosom fly,
While the nearer waters roll,
While the tempest still is high:
Hide me, oh, my Saviour, hide,
Till the storm of life be past;
Safe into the haven guide,
Oh, receive my soul at last.

1 There is a land of pure delight
Where saints immortal reign;
Infinite day excludes the night,
And pleasures banish pain.
2 There everlasting spring abides,
And never withering flowers;
Death, like a narrow sea, divides
That heavenly land from ours.
3 Could we but climb where Moses stood,
And view the landscape o’er,
Not Jordan’s stream, nor death’s cold flood,
Should fright us from the shore.

1 Jesus! the name high over all,
In hell, or earth, or sky;
Angels and men before it fall,
And devils fear and fly.
2 Jesus! the name to sinners dear,
The name to sinners given;
It scatters all their guilty fear,
It turns their hell to heaven.
3 Jesus the prisoner’s fetters breaks,
And bruises Satan’s head;
Power into strengthless souls it speaks,
And life into the dead.

1 Come, every soul by sin oppressed,
There’s mercy with the Lord,
And he will surely give you rest
By trusting in his word.
Only trust him, only trust him,
Only trust him now;
He will save you, he will save you,
He will save you now.
2 For Jesus shed his precious blood
Rich blessings to bestow;
Plunge then into the crimson flood
That washes white as snow.

1 Are you weary, are you heavy hearted?
Tell it to Jesus, tell it to Jesus;
Are you grieving over joys departed?
Tell it to Jesus alone.
Tell it to Jesus, tell it to Jesus,
He is a friend well known;
You have no other such a friend or brother,
Tell it to Jesus alone.
2 Do the tears flow down your cheeks unbidden?
Have you sins that to man’s eyes are hidden?
3 Are you troubled at the thought of dying?
For Christ’s coming kingdom are you sighing?

Where bright angel-feet have trod;
With its crystal tide forever
Flowing by the throne of God.
Yes, we’ll gather at the river,
The beautiful, the beautiful river!
Gather with the saints at the river,
That flows by the throne of God.
2 Soon we’ll reach the silver river,
Soon our pilgrimage will cease;
Soon our happy hearts will quiver
With the melody of peace.

He whom I fix my hopes upon;
His track I see, and I’ll pursue,
The narrow way, till him I view.
I’m going home, I’m going home,
I’m going home to die no more;
To die no more, to die no more,
I’m going home to die no more.
2 The way that holy prophets went,
The road that leads from banishment,
The King’s highway of holiness,
I’ll go, for all his paths are peace.

1 All people that on earth do dwell,
Sing to the Lord with cheerful voice;
Him serve with mirth, his praise forth tell,
Come ye before him, and rejoice.
2 Know that the Lord is God indeed,
Without our aid he did us make;
We are his flock, he doth us feed,
And for his sheep he doth us take.

How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord,
Is laid for your faith in his excellent word!
What more can he say, than to you he hath said,
To you, who for refuge to Jesus have fled?
“Fear not, I am with thee; oh, be not dismayed!
For I am thy God, I will still give thee aid;
I’ll strengthen thee, help thee, and cause thee to stand,
Upheld by my gracious, omnipotent hand.
“When through the deep waters I call thee to go,
The rivers of sorrow shall not overflow;
For I will be with thee thy trials to bless,
And sanctify to thee thy deepest distress.”

Unto him who on Jesus, his son will believe.

I believe on the Son;
I am saved by the blood of the crucified one. :||
2 Tho’ the pathway be lonely, and dangerous too,
Surely Jesus is able to carry me through.
3 Many loved ones have I in yon heavenly throng,
They are safe now in glory and this is their song.
4 Little children I see standing close by their king,
And He smiles as their song of salvation they sing.
5 There’s a part in that chorus for you and for me

1 Oh, I am so happy in Jesus,
His blood has redeemed me from sin,
I weep and I sing in my gladness,
To know He is dwelling within.
Oh, I am so happy in Jesus,
From sin and from sorrow so free;
So happy that He is my Saviour,
So happy that Jesus loves me.
2 Oh, I am so happy in Jesus,
If earth in His love is so blest,
What joy in His glorified presence,
To sit at His feet as His guest.

When times of temptation bring sadness and gloom
I will tell it to Jesus my Lord;
The last of earth’s treasures borne out to the tomb,
I will tell it to Jesus, my Lord.
This earth hath no sorrow for to-day or to-morrow,
But Jesus hath known it and felt long ago,
And when it comes o’er me, and I’m tempted so sorely,
I will tell it to Jesus, my Lord.
I will tell it to Jesus,
To Jesus, my Lord,
||: I will tell, etc. :||

On thee, my Savior and my God!
Well may this glowing heart rejoice,
And tell its raptures all abroad.
Happy day, happy day,
When Jesus washed my sins away.
He taught me how to watch and pray,
And live rejoicing every day.
Happy day, happy day,
When Jesus washed my sins away.

I am my Lord’s, and he is mine;
He drew me, and I followed on,
Charmed to confess the voice divine.

1 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
2 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; and showing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.
3 Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain: for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.
4 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labor and do all thy work: but the seventh is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy man-servant, nor thy maid-servant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: for in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
5 Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.
6 Thou shalt not kill.
7 Thou shalt not commit adultery.
8 Thou shalt not steal.
9 Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor.
10 Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s wife, nor his man-servant, nor his maid-servant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor anything that is thy neighbor’s.
