Through the Night of Doubt and Sorrow
Author: Bernhard S. Ingemann; Sabine Baring-Gould Hymnal: The Hymnbook #475 (1955) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: Pilgrimage of life Lyrics: 1 Through the night of doubt and sorrow
Onward goes the pilgrim band,
Singing songs of expectation,
Marching to the Promised Land:
Clear before us through the darkness
Gleams and burns the guiding Light;
Brother clasps the hand of brother,
Stepping fearless through the night.
2 One the light of God's own presence
O'er His ransomed people shed,
Chasing far the gloom and terror,
Brightening all the path we tread;
One the object of our journey,
One the faith which never tires,
One the earnest looking forward,
One the hope our God inspires;
3 One the strain that lips of thousands
Lift as from the heart of one,
One the conflict, one the peril,
One the march in God begun;
One the gladness of rejoicing
On the far eternal shore,
Where the One Almighty Father
Reigns in love forevermore.
4 Onward, therefore, pilgrim brothers,
Onward, with the cross our aid;
Bear its shame, and fight its battle,
Till we rest beneath its shade;
Soon shall come the great awaking,
Soon the rending of the tomb,
Then the scattering of all shadows
And the end of toil and gloom.
Amen. Scripture: Ephesians 4:4-6 Tune Title: ST. ASAPH
Through the Night of Doubt and Sorrow
When on my day of life the night is falling
Author: J. G. Whittier, 1807-1892 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #468a (1917) Topics: Brevity of Life; The Christian Life Aspiration and Prayer; Heaven Contemplation of; Life Brevity of; Life Close of; Life Pilgrimage Lyrics: 1 When on my day of life the night is falling,
And in the winds from unsunned spaces blown
I hear far voices out of darkness calling
My feet to paths unknown--
2 Thou, who hast made my home of life so pleasant,
Leave not its tenant when its walls decay;
O Love Divine, O Helper ever present,
Be Thou my strength and stay!
3 Be near me when all else is from me drifting
Earth, sky, home's pictures, days of shade and shine,
And kindly faces to my own uplifting
The love which answers mine.
4 I have but Thee, my Father! let Thy Spirit
Be with me then to comfort and uphold;
No gate of pearl, no branch of palm I merit,
Nor street of shining gold.
5 Suffice it if my good and ill unreckoned,
And both forgiven through Thy abounding grace
I find myself by hands familiar beckoned
Unto my fitting place.
6 Some humble door among Thy many mansions,
Some sheltering shade where sin and striving cease,
And flows for ever through heaven's green expansions
The river of Thy peace.
7 There from the music round about me stealing
I fain would learn the new and holy song.
And find at last, beneath Thy trees of healing,
The life for which I long. Languages: English Tune Title: DIADEMA

in our hearts on you we feed.

by your resurrection life,
hold us fast in joyful union;
strengthen us to face the strife;

shines the feast that is to come
after conflict, toil, and testing
your great feast of love and home!

the darkness deepens; Lord, with me abide.
When other helpers fail and comforts flee,
Help of the helpless, O abide with me.
2 Swift to its close ebbs out life's little day;
earth's joys grow dim, its glories pass away.
Change and decay in all around I see.
O Lord who changes not, abide with me.
3 I need your presence every passing hour.
What but your grace can foil the tempter's power?
Who like yourself my guide and strength can be?
Through cloud and sunshine, O abide with me.
4 I fear no foe with you at hand to bless,
though ills have weight, and tears their bitterness.
Where is death's sting? Where, grave, your victory?
I triumph still, if you abide with me.
5 Hold now your Word before my closing eyes.
Shine through the gloom and point me to the skies.
Heaven's morning breaks and earth's vain shadows flee;
in life, in death, O Lord, abide with me.

Author: John Bunyan, 1628-1688 Hymnal: Worship and Service Hymnal #412 (2006) Topics: Conflict; Pilgrimage, Christian; The Christian Way of Life Loyalty and Courage Lyrics: 1 He who would valiant be
'Gainst all disaster,
Let him in constancy
Follow the Master.
There's no discouragement
Shall make him once relent
His first avowed intent
To be a pilgrim.
2 Whoso beset him round
With dismal stories,
Do but themselves confound,
His strength the more is.
No foes shall stay his might,
Though he with giants fight;
He will make good his right
To be a pilgrim.
3 Since, Lord, thou dost defend
Us with thy Spirit
We know we at the end
Shall life inherit.
Then fancies, flee away!
I'll fear not what men say,
I'll labor night and day
To be a pilgrim.
Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. DUNSTAN'S
