The Christian's spiritual Voyage
Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CCCIV (1792) Topics: Christian On his spiritual voyage; The spiritual Mariner; The spiritual voyage First Line: Jesus, at thy command Lyrics: 1 Jesus, at thy command,
I launch into the deep;
And leave my native land,
Where sin lulls all asleep;
For thee I would the world resign,
And sail to Heav'n with thee and thine.
2 Thou art my pilot wise,
My compass is thy word;
My soul each storm defies,
While I have such a Lord!
I trust thy faithfulness and power,
To save me in the trying hour.
3 Tho' rocks and quicksands deep
Thro' all my passage lie;
Yet Christ will safely keep,
And guide me with his eye:
My anchor hope shall firm abide,
And every boisterous storm outride.
4 By faith, I see the land,
The port of endless rest:
My soul, thy sails expand,
And fly to Jesus's breast!
O may I gain the heavenly shore,
Where winds and waves distress no more!
5 Where'er becalm'd I lie,
And storms forbear to toss;
Be thou, dear Lord, still nigh
Lest I should suffer loss:
For more the treacherous claim I dread,
Than tempests bursting o'er my head.
5 Come, Holy Ghost, and blow
A prosperous gale of grace,
Waft me from all below,
To Heaven my destin'd place!
Then, in full sail, my port, I'll find,
And leave the world and sin behind.

The Spiritual Pilgrim
Author: J. C. W. Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CCC (1792) Topics: Happiness Of spiritual pilgrims; The spiritual Pilgrim First Line: How happy is the pilgrim's lot Lyrics: 1 How happy is the pilgrim's lot,
How free from every anxious thought,
From worldly hope and fear!
Confin'd to neither court nor cell,
His soul disdains on earth to dwell,
He only sojourns here.
2 His happiness in part is mine,
Already sav'd from self-design,
From every creature love!
Bless'd with the scorn of finte good,
My soul is lighten'd of its load,
And seeks the things above.
3 The things eternal I pursue
And happiness beyond the view
Of those who basely pant
For things by nature felt or seen:
Their honors, wealth, and pleasures mean,
I neither have nor want.
4 Nothing on earth I call my own;
A stranger to the world unknown,
I all their goods despise;
I trample on their whole delight,
And seek a country out of sight,
A country in the skies.
5 There is my house and portion fair,
My treasure, and my heart are there,
And my abiding home:
For me my elder brethren stay,
And angels beckon me away,
And Jesus bids me come.
5 I come, thy servant, Lord, replies,
I come, to meet thee in the skies,
And claim my heavenly rest:
Now let the pilgrim's journey end,
Now, O my Savior, brother, friend,
Receive me to thy breast! Languages: English

Of mortals here below;
May I its great importance learn,
Its sovereign virtue know!

Be my redeemer's throne;
And be my stubborn will subdu'd,
His government to own!

Be join'd with godly fear;
And all our conversation prove
My heart to be sincere.

Thro' my remaining days;
And in me let each virtue shone
To my redeemer's praise.

Let warm affections rise;
And may I wait with strong desire,
To mount above the skies! Scripture: James 1:27 Languages: English
