Through the Night of Doubt and Sorrow

Author: B. S. Ingemann; Sabine Baring-Gould Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 326 hymnals Topics: Doubt Lyrics: 1 Through the night of doubt and sorrow onward goes the pilgrim band, singing songs of expectation, marching to the promised land. 2 One the light of God's own presence o'er his ransomed people shed, chasing far the gloom and terror, bright'ning all the path we tread. 3 One the object of our journey, one the faith which never tires, one the earnest looking forward, one the hope our God inspires. 4 One the strain the lips of thousands lift as from the heart of one; one the conflict, one the peril, one the march in God begun. 5 One the gladness of rejoicing on the far eternal shore, where the one almighty Father reigns in love for evermore. Scripture: Exodus 40:38 Used With Tune: MARCHING

Behold the Rose of Sharon here

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 13 hymnals Topics: Doubts and fears suppressed; Fears and doubts suppressed Lyrics: Behold the Rose of Sharon here, The Lily which the valleys bear; Behold the Tree of Life, that gives Refreshing fruit and healing leaves. Amongst the thorns so lilies shine; Amongst wild gourds the noble vine; So in mine eyes my Savior proves, Amidst a thousand meaner loves. Beneath his cooling shade I sat, To shield me from the burning heat; Of heav'ly fruit he spreads a feast, To feed mine eyes and please my taste. [Kindly he brought me to the place Where stands the banquet of his grace; He saw me faint, and o'er my head The banner of his love he spread. With living bread and gen'rous wine, He cheers this sinking heart of mine; And op'ning his own heart to me, He shows his thoughts how kind they be.] O never let my Lord depart; Lie down, and rest upon my heart; I charge my sins not once to move, Nor stir, nor wake, nor grieve my Love. Scripture: Song of Solomon 2:1-4

Author: Jesse Appears in 20 hymnals Topics: Fears and doubts removed First Line: Unclean, unclean, and full of sin Lyrics: 1 Unclean! unclean! and full of sin, From first to last, alas, I've been! Deceitful is my heart: Guilt presses down my burden'd soul, But Jesus can the waves controul, And bid my fears depart. 2 When first I heard his word of grace, Ungratefully I hid my face, Ungratefully delay'd: At length his voice more powerful came, " 'Tis I" he cry'd "I, still the same, "Thou need's not be afraid." 3 My heart was chang'd, in that same hour My soul confess'd his mighty power, Outflow'd the briny tear: I listen'd still to hear his voice, Again he said, "in me rejoice, " 'Tis I, thou need's not fear." 4 "Unworthy of thy love," I cry'd, "Freely I love," he soon reply'd, "On me thy faith be staid; "On me for every thing depend, "I'm Jesus still, the sinner's friend. "Thou need'st not be afraid." Scripture: John 6:20

From the best bliss that earth imparts We turn unfill'd to Thee again. 2 Thy truth unchanged hath ever stood; Thou savest those that on Thee call; To them that seek Thee Thou art good, To them that find Thee, All in All! 3 We taste Thee, O Thou living Bread, And long to feast upon Thee still; We drink of Thee, the Fountain Head, And thirst our souls from Thee to fill. 4 Our restless spirits yearn for Thee, Where'er our changeful lot is cast; Glad, when Thy gracious smile we see, Blest, when our faith can hold Thee fast. 5 O Jesus, ever with us stay! Make all our moments calm and bright; Chase the dark night of sin away, Shed o'er the world Thy holy light!
