Our Pilgrim Brethren, Dwelling Far
Author: Sarah W. Livermore Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 10 hymnals First Line: Our pilgrim brethren dwelling far Lyrics: 1 Our pilgrim brethren dwelling far,
O God of truth and love,
Light Thou their path with Thine own star,
Bright beaming from above.
2 Wide as their mighty rivers flow,
Let Thine own truth extend;
Where prairies spread and forests grow,
O Lord, Thy Gospel send.
3 Then will a mighty nation own
A union firm and strong;
The scepter of th’eternal throne
Shall rule its councils long. Used With Tune: MANOAH Text Sources: Cheshire Pastoral Association's Christian Hymns for Public and Private Worship, 1844

God Moves in a Mysterious Way
Sweet was the time when first I felt
Author: John Newton Appears in 342 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Sweet was the time when first I felt
The Saviour's pardoning blood
Applied to cleanse my soul from guilt,
And bring me home to God.
2 Soon as the morn the light revealed,
His praises tuned my tongue;
And when the evening shades prevailed,
His love was all my song.
3 In prayer my soul drew near the Lord,
And saw his glory shine;
And when I read his holy word,
I called each promise mine.
4 But now, when evening shade prevails,
My soul in darkness mourns;
And when the morn the light reveals,
No light to me returns.
5 Rise, Lord, and help me to prevail;
O make my soul thy care!
I know thy mercy cannot fail;
Let me that mercy share. Topics: The Christian Unfaithfulness Lamented Used With Tune: MANOAH
Sweet was the time when first I felt
"O Christ of God!"
Author: Ray Palmer Appears in 57 hymnals First Line: O Jesus, sweet the tears I shed Lyrics: 1 O Jesus, sweet the tears I shed,
While at thy cross I kneel,
Gaze on thy wounded, fainting head,
And all thy sorrows feel.
2 My heart dissolves to see thee bleed,
This heart so hard before;
I hear thee for the guilty plead,
And grief o'erflows the more.
3 I know this cleansing blood of thine
Was shed, dear for me:
For me, for all,--oh, grace divine!--
Who look by faith on thee.
4 O Christ of God, O spotless Lamb,
By love my soul is drawn;
Henceforth, for ever, thine I am;
Here life and peace are born.
5 In patient hope, the cross I'll bear,
Thine arm shall be my stay;
And thou, enthroned, my soul shalt spare,
On thy great judgment-day.

Lord, as to Thy dear cross we flee
Met in thy sacred name, O Lord
Author: M. H. Forscutt, 1834-1903 Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Met in thy sacred name, O Lord,
To worship thee below,
Grant that each soul with joy may thrill,
With love each bosom glow.
2 In festive scenes, mid giddy throngs
Of those whom sins delight
We would not mingle but would walk
In truth's free saving light.
3 Thy cheering promise, Lord, we wait,
"Wherever two or three
Shall in my name together meet,
There will I choose to be."
4 Inspire our praise, direct our prayer,
Thy Spirit fill each heart;
Cloth thou with power each thought and word,
To all thy grace impart.
Amen.

Met in thy sacred name, O Lord
I lean upon no broken reed
Author: Rev. Dr. H. Bonar Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 I lean upon no broken reed,
Nor trust an untried guide;
I know Him and He knoweth me,
He walketh at my side.
2 I hold His hand as on we walk,
And still He holdeth mine;
It is a human hand I hold,
It is a hand Divine.
3 “Hold Thou me up” is still my cry,
As o’er the rugged road
Of this my pilgrimage I move,
That lead s me nearer God.
4 Lord Jesus, Thou the first and last,
Oh, when wilt Thou appear?
And bring the long, long-looked for dawn
Of the eternal year.

The Sleep Of The Master
Author: Isabella J. Postgate Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: All day the Shepherd sought the sheep Lyrics: 1 All day the Shepherd sought the sheep,
And called them home to rest;
His pierced head now pillowed lies
On earth’s green, gentle breast.
2 At least, she loved Him as her child,
And did her Maker hail;
For in His hour of anguished pain
Her very sun grew pale.
3 He trod her thorniest, dreary ways,
With footprints traced in blood;
He knew the guerdon waiting Him—
The nails and cross of wood!
4 To see God thus, the holy ones
In lowly reverence bow;
But His own brethren marked not
The glory round His brow.
5 He bears long years of toil and pain,
And pays for them the price;
He pours at last His life blood out
To crown the sacrifice.
6 Now for a space the earth He made
Holds Him in her embrace;
While soft white wings of angels round
Guard well the holy place.
7 Soon will He waken. Night speeds fast,
The golden day is near;
The eastern sky is glowing now
And signs of dawn appear!
8 A ray of Heaven’s glory bright
Pierces death’s dark, ancient prison;
The angels fold their pinions now
And whisper, "He is ris’n." Used With Tune: MANOAH Text Sources: A Christmas Legend, and Other Verses (London: Simpkin, Marshall, 1889)
