Leader of faithful souls, and Guide

Author: C. Wesley, 1707-1788 Appears in 94 hymnals Topics: Race, the Christian Lyrics: 1 Leader of faithful souls, and Guide Of all who travel to the sky, Come, and with us, even us, abide, Who would on Thee alone rely; On Thee alone our spirits stay, While held in life's uneven way. 2 Strangers and pilgrims here below, This earth, we know is not our place; But hasten through the vale of woe, And, restless to behold Thy face, Swift to our heavenly country move, Our everlasting home above. 3 We've no abiding city here, But seek a city out of sight; Thither our steady course we steer, Aspiring to the plains of light, Jerusalem, the saints' abode, Whose founder is the living God. 4 Through Thee, who all our sins hast borne, Freely and graciously forgiven, With songs to Zion we return, Contending for our native heaven, That palace of our glorious King, We find it nearer while we sing. 5 Raised by the breath of love divine, We urge our way with strength renewed; The church of the first-born to join, We travel to the mount of God; With joy upon our heads arise, And meet our Captain in the skies. Used With Tune: DURA

Lord! what a wretched Land is this

Appears in 113 hymnals Topics: Christian Race Lyrics: 1 Lord! what a wretched Land is this, That yields us no Supply; No chearing Fruits, no wholesome Trees, Nor Streams of living Joy. 2 But pricking Thorns through all the Ground, And mortal Poisons grow, And all the Rivers that are found, With dang'rous Waters flow. 3 Yet the dear Path to thine Abode Lies through this horrid Land, Lord! we would keep the heav'nly Road, And run at thy Command. [4 Our Souls shall tread the Desart through With undiverted Feet; And Faith and flaming Zeal subdue The Terrors that we meet.] [5 A thousand savage Beasts of Prey Around the Forest roam, But Judah's Lion guards the Way, And guides the Strangers Home.] [6 Long Nights and Darkness dwell below, With scarce a twinkling Ray; But the bright World to which we go Is everlasting Day.] [7 By glimmering Hopes and gloomy Fears We trace the sacred Road; Thro' dismal Deeps and dang'rous Snares We make our Way to God.] 8 Our Journey is a thorny Maze, But we march upward still, Forget these Troubles of the Ways, And reach at Sion's Hill. [9 See the kind Angels at the Gates, Inviting us to come; There Jesus the Fore-runner waits To welcome Trav'lers Home.] 10 There on a green and flow'ry Mount Our weary Souls shall sit, And with transporting Joys recount The Labours of our Feet. [11 No vain Discourse shall fill our Tongue, Nor Trifles vex our Ear, Infinite Grace shall be our Song, And God rejoice to hear.] 12 Eternal Glories to the King That brought us safely through; Our Tongue shall never cease to sing, And endless Praise renew.
