How happy is the pilgrim's lot

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #451 (1828) Meter: Irregular Topics: Christian experience A pilgrimage 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 Though I no foot of land possess, Nor cottage in this wilderness, A poor way-faring man, I lodge a while in tents below, Or gladly wander to and fro, Till I my Canaan gain. 3 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 city out of sight, A city in the skies. 4 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 Saviour, brother, friend, Receive me to thy breast! Scripture: Hebrews 11:13

The sun is fast descending

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #456 (1828) Meter: Irregular Topics: Christian experience A pilgrimage Lyrics: 1 The sun is fast descending His circuit from on high; The shades of eve are blending With yonder distant sky; Soon will the landscape vanish, And sable darkness banish These scenes from mortal eye. 2 Thus too our days are ending, The race will soon be run, Our sun is fast descending; Our work is almost done. Soon will our Master greet us, And heav'nly legions meet us To waft us to our home. 3 Then pilgrims! come, delay not On this unfriendly ground, And in the desert say not, That you have Canaan found. The fiery pillar leads us, The promised manna feeds us, But barren is the ground. 4 Come tune the harp to gladness, A song of Zion sing; Away with thoughts of sadness, We'll praise our heav'nly king. Our trials and our crosses, Our sufferings and our losses, But keep us near to him. 5 But Zion! when we raise thee A song in distant lands, The harp that fain would praise thee, Falls tuneless from our hands. Our hearts, distress'd and lonely, Can leap for gladness only In thy dear happy land.

O army of the living God

Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #595 (1886) Topics: The Christian Warfare and Pilgrimage Lyrics: 1 O army of the living God, Why sink your souls desponding down? Why tremble at the oppressor's rod? Why cower beneath the spoiler's frown? 2 O soldiers in the war-worn host, Go forth in courage and in faith: In Christ, your Captain, ye may boast; He rules the world and conquers death. 3 Go forth and mingle in the strife Which God commands, which Christ approves; Go struggle for eternal life, And all the joys the Christian loves. Tune Title: CRASSELIUS
