Come on, companions of our way
Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: Sacred Poems and Hymns #153 (1854) Meter: 8.8.6.8.8.6 Topics: Pilgrimage of life Lyrics:
Come on, companions of our way,
Who travel to eternal day
Through this poor world of night;
Give to the Lord, in noble songs,
The praise that to His name belongs,
As children of the light.
Call'd out of darkness, by His voice,
Be that clear shining path our choice,
Which Christ our captain trod!
Whether with flowers and fragrance crown'd,
Or thorns and thistle interwound,
It leads the soul to God.
Though pilgrims in a vale of woes,
Thick-strown with snares, and throng'd with foes;
Since Jesus journey'd through,
157
Plant but your steps where his have prest
The ground once curst,--that ground now blest
Is heaven's highway for you.
To heaven, to heaven then march we on,
Go where our conquering Lord hath gone!
Thus where He is, shall we
In joy behold Him face to face,
And, changed by glorifying grace,
Resemble Him we see.

A Mighty Fortress Is Our God
Author: Martin Luther; F. H. Hedge Hymnal: Rejoice in the Lord #179 (1985) Meter: 8.7.8.7.6.6.7 Topics: Pilgrimage and Conflict Lyrics: 1 A mighty fortress is our God, a bulwark never failing;
our helper he amid the flood of mortal ills prevailing.
For still our ancient foe doth seek to work us woe;
his craft and power are great; and, armed with cruel hate,
on earth is not his equal.
2 Did we in our own strength confide, our striving would be losing,
were not the right man on our side, the man of God’s own choosing.
Dost ask who that may be? Christ Jesus, it is he;
Lord Sabaoth his name, from age to age the same,
and he must win the battle.
3 And though this world, with devils filled, should threaten to undo us,
we will not fear, for God hath willed his truth to triumph through us.
The prince of darkness grim, we tremble not for him;
his rage we can endure, for lo! his doom is sure;
one little word shall fell him.
4 That word above all earthly powers, no thanks to them, abideth;
the Spirit and the gifts are ours through him who with us sideth;
let goods and kindred go, this mortal life also;
the body they may kill: God’s truth abideth still;
his kingdom is forever.

I Verdens Trældom, Dynd og Ler,
Vidt fra din Himmel dreven.

Til din saa søde Hvile,
Min Sorg med Tiden slides hen,

Den anden Haanden række,
Saa kan dog du min Jammers Tal
Med Miskundheder dække.

Hvor jeg af Gud kan blive mæt,
Og Jesus kun oplede.

I Himlens rette Hjem og Bo
Fra alle Sorger havne.

In the hour of trial

In the hour of trial,
Jesus, pray for me,
196
Lest, by base denial,
I depart from Thee
When Thou seest me waver,
With a look recall,
Nor, for fear or favour,
Suffer me to fall.
With its witching pleasures,
Would this vain world charm,
Or its sordid treasures,
Spread to work me harm;
Bring to my remembrance
Sad Gethsemane,
Or, in darker semblance,
Cross-crown'd Calvary.
If, with sore affliction,
Thou in love chastise,
Pour Thy benediction
On the sacrifice;
Then, upon Thine altar,
Freely offer'd up,
Though the flesh may falter.
Faith shall drink the cup.
When in dust and ashes,
To the grave I sink,
While heaven's glory flashes
O'er the shelving brink,
On Thy truth relying,
Through that mortal strife,
Lord, receive me, dying,
To eternal life.

gathers 'round its head sublime.
2 When the woes of life o'ertake me,
hopes deceive, and fears annoy,
Never shall the cross forsake me:
Lo! it glows with peace and joy.
3 When the sun of bliss is beaming
light and love upon my way,
From the cross the radiance streaming
adds more luster to the day.
4 Bane and blessing, pain and pleasure,
by the cross are sanctified;
Peace is there that knows no measure,
joys that through all time abide.
5 In the cross of Christ I glory,
towering o'er the wrecks of time;
All the light of sacred story
gathers 'round its head sublime. Scripture: Galatians 6:14 Languages: English Tune Title: RATHBUN
In the Cross of Christ I Glory
Throughout these Lenten days and nights
Author: James Gertmenian, 1947- Hymnal: The Book of Praise #196 (1997) Topics: Journey / Pilgrimage / Pilgrims Lyrics: 1 Throughout these Lenten days and nights
we turn to walk the inward way,
where, meeting Christ, our guide and light,
we live in hope till Easter day.
2 The pilgrim Christ, the Lamb of God,
who found in weakness greater power,
embraces us, though lost and flawed,
and leads us to his rising hour.
3 We bear the silence, cross and pain
of human burdens, human strife,
while sisters, brothers help sustain
our courage till the feast of life.
4 And though the road is hard and steep,
the Spirit ever calls us on
through Calvary’s dying, dark and deep,
until we see the coming dawn.
5 So let us choose the path of one
who wore, for us, the crown of thorn,
and slept in death, that we might wake
to life on Resurrection Morn!
6 Rejoice, O sons and daughters!
Sing and shout hosannas! Raise the strain!
For Christ, whose death Good Friday brings,
on Easter day will live again! Scripture: 2 Corinthians 12:9 Languages: English Tune Title: BRESLAU

Come, O Spirit, Dwell Among Us
Author: Janie Alford Hymnal: Voices United #198 (1996) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: Pilgrimage and Conflict Lyrics: 1 Come, O Spirit, dwell among us,
come with pentecostal power;
give the church a stronger vision,
help us face each crucial hour.
Built upon a firm foundation,
Jesus Christ, the cornerstone,
still the church is called to mission
that God's love shall be made known.
2 We would raise our hallelujahs
for the grace of yesteryears;
for tomorrow's unknown pathway,
hear, O God, our humble prayers.
In the church's pilgrim journey
you have led us all the way,
still in presence move before us,
fire by night and cloud by day.
3 Come, O Spirit, dwell among us;
give us words of fire and flame.
Help our feeble lips to praise you,
glorify your holy name.
God, all holy, Son and Spirit,
three in one: what mystery!
We would sing our loud hosannas
now and through eternity. Languages: English Tune Title: EBENEZER
Come, O Spirit, Dwell Among Us

Jesus, lover of my soul
Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-88 Hymnal: Together in Song #211a (1999) Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Topics: Pilgrimage Lyrics: 1 Jesus, lover of my soul,
let me to thy refuge fly,
while the nearer waters roll,
while the tempest still is high;
hide me, O my Saviour, hide,
till the storm of life is past;
safe into the haven guide,
O receive my soul at last.
2 Other refuge have I none,
hangs my helpless soul on thee;
leave, ah! leave me not alone,
still support and comfort me:
all my trust on thee is stayed,
all my help from thee I bring;
cover my defenceless head
with the shadow of thy wing.
3 Thou, O Christ, art all I want,
more than all in thee I find,
raise the fallen, cheer the faint,
heal the sick, and lead the blind.
Just and holy is thy name,
I am all unrighteousness;
false and full of sin I am,
thou art full of truth and grace.
4 Plenteous grace with thee is found,
grace to cover all my sin;
let the healing streams abound,
make and keep me pure within:
thou of life the fountain art,
freely let me take of thee,
spring thou up within my heart,
rise to all eternity.
