Through the Night of Doubt and Sorrow

Author: Sabine-Baring Gould; B. S. Ingemann Appears in 326 hymnals Topics: The Church and Means of Grace The Church First Line: Thro' the night of doubt and sorrow Lyrics: 1 Thro' the night of doubt and sorrow Onward goes the pilgrim band, Singing songs of expectation, Marching to the Promised Land. Clear before us, thro' the darkness, Gleams and burns the guiding light. Brother clasps the hand of brother, Stepping fearless thro' the night. 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: One the object of our journey, One the faith which never tires, One the earnest looking forward, One the hope our God inspires. 3 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: One the gladness of rejoicing On the far eternal shore, Where the One Almighty Father Reigns in love for evermore. 4 Onward therefore, pilgrim brothers! Onward, with the cross our aid! Bear its shame, and fight its battle, Till we rest beneath its shade! Soon shall come the great awaking, Soon, the rending of the tomb, Then the scatt'ring of all shadows, And the end of toil and gloom. Used With Tune: REX GLORIAE

Where cross the crowded ways of life, Where sound the cries of race and clan, Above the noise of selfish strife, We hear Thy voice, O Son of Man. 2. In haunted of wretchedness and need, On shadowed thresholds dark with fears, From paths where hide the lures of greed, We catch the vision of Thy tears. 3. From tender childhood's helplessness, From woman's grief, man's burdened toil, From famished souls from sorrow's stress, Thy heart has never known recoil. 4. O Master, from the mountain side, Make haste to heal these hearts of pain; Among these restless throngs abide, O tread the city's streets again; 5. Till sons of men shall learn Thy love, And follow where Thy feet have trod; Till glorious from Thy heav'n above, Shall come the City of our God. Used With Tune: GERMANY

And grow in faith and love! 3 Let not this life's deceitful cares, Nor worldly wealth and joy, Nor scorching beam, nor stormy blast, The rising plant destroy, The rising plant destroy. 4 Where'er the word of life is sown, A large increase bestow, That all who hear Thy message, Lord, It's saving power may know, It's saving power may know.

From Greenland's Icy Mountains

Author: Reginald Heber Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 1,696 hymnals Topics: The Means of Grace Missions Lyrics: 1 From Greenland's icy mountains, From India's coral strand, Where Afric's sunny fountains Roll down their golden sand; From many an ancient river, From many a palmy plain, They call us to deliver Their land from error's chain. 2 What though the spicy breezes Blow soft o'er Ceylon's isle; Though ev'ry prospect pleases And only man is vile: In vain, with lavish kindness, The gifts of God are strewn; The heathen in his blindness Bows down to wood and stone. 3 Shall we, whose souls are lighted By wisdom from on high-- Shall we to man benighted The lamp of life deny? Salvation, O salvation! The joyful sound proclaim Till earth's remotest nation Has learned Messiah's name. 4 Waft, waft, ye winds, His story; And you, ye waters, roll Till, like a sea of glory, It spreads from pole to pole; Till o'er our ransomed nature, The Lamb for sinners slain, Redeemer, King, Creator, Returns in bliss to reign. Amen. Used With Tune: MISSIONARY HYMN

Gentiles and Jews, His laws obey, Nations remote their off'rings bring, And unconstrained their homage pay To their exalted God and King. 4. O may His holy Church increase, His Word and Spirit still prevail, While angels celebrate His praise, And saints His growing glories hail. 5. Loud hallelujahs to the Lamb, From all below, and all above; In lofty songs exalt His name,-- In songs as lasting as His love. Used With Tune: DUKE STREET

People and realms, of ev'ry tongue, Dwell on His love with sweetest song; And infant voices shall proclaim Their early blessings on His Names. 4. Blessing abound where'er He reigns, The pris'ner leaps to lose his chains; The weary find eternal rest, And all the sons of want are blest. 5.
