Author: Johann Rist, 1607-1667 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 35 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Living Bread from heaven, How well Thou fed Thy guest! The gifts Thou now hast given Have filled my heart with rest. Oh, wondrous food of blessing, Oh, cup that heals our woes! My hear, this gift possessing, In thankful song o'erflows. 2 My Lord, Thou here hast led me Within Thy holiest place, And there Thyself hast fed me With treasures of Thy grace; And Thou hast freely given What earth could never buy, The Bread of Life from heaven, That now I shall not die! 3 Thou givest all I wanted, The food can death destroy; And Thou hast freely granted The cup of endless joy. Ah, Lord, I do not merit The favor Thou hast shown, And all my soul and spirit Bow down before Thy throne! 4 Lord, grant me that thus strengthened With heavenly food, while here My course on earth is lengthened, To serve with holy fear; And when Thou call'st my spirit To leave this world below, I enter, through Thy merit, Where joys unmingled flow.

A Pilgrim and a Stranger

Author: Paul Gerhardt; Jane Borthwick Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 65 hymnals Lyrics: 1 A pilgrim and a stranger, I journey here below; Far distant is my country, The home to which I go. Here I must toil and travail, Oft weary and opprest, But there my God shall lead me To everlasting rest. 2 I've met with storms and danger E'en from my early years, With enemies and conflicts, With fightings and with fears. There's nothing here that tempts me To wish a longer stay, So I must hasten forward, No halting or delay. 3 It is a well-worn pathway; A host has gone before, The holy saints and prophets, The patriarchs of yore. They trod the toilsome journey In patience and in faith; And them I fain would follow, Like them in life and death. 4 Who would share Abraham's blessing Must Abraham's path pursue, A stranger and a pilgrim, Like him, must journey thro'. The foes must be encountered, The dangers must be passed; A faithful soldier only Receives the crown at last. 5 So I must hasten forward-- Thank God, the end will come! This land of passing shadows Is not my destined home. That evermore abideth, The everlasting city, Jerusalem above, This evermore abideth, The home of light and love. 6 There still my thoughts are dwelling, 'Tis there I long to be; Come, Lord, and call Thy servant To blessedness with Thee. Come, bid my toils be ended, Let all my wand'rings cease; Call from the wayside lodging To Thy sweet home of peace. 7 There I shall dwell forever, No more a parting guest, With all Thy blood-bought children In everlasting rest, The pilgrim toils forgotten, The pilgrim conflicts o'er, All earthly griefs behind me, Eternal joys before. Amen. Topics: The Last Things Death and Burial Scripture: Psalm 89:12 Used With Tune: HERZLICH TUT MICH
