Author: Sabine Baring-Gould, 1834 - 1924; Bernhardt Severin Ingemann, 1789 - 1862 Hymnal: Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America #529a (1958) Topics: The Life In Christ Conflict and Victory Lyrics: 1 Through the night of doubt and sorrow Onward goes the pilgrim band, Singing songs of expectation, Marching to the promised land. Clear before us through the darkness Gleams and burns the guiding light; Brother clasps the hand of brother, Stepping fearless through the night. 2 One the light of God’s own presence O’er his ransomed people shed, Chasing far the gloom and terror, Brightening 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 that 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 awakening, Soon the rending of the tomb; Then the scattering of all shadows, And the end of toil and gloom.

Wondrous Sovereign of the sea, Jesus, Saviour, pilot me.

Once to every man and nation

Author: James Russell Lowell, 1819 - 91 Hymnal: Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America #547 (1958) Topics: The Life In Christ Conflict and Victory Lyrics: 1 Once to every man and nation Comes the moment to decide, In the strife of truth and falsehood, For the good or evil side; Some great cause, God's new messiah, Offering each the bloom or blight, And the choice goes by for ever 'Twixt that darkness and that light. 2 Then to side with truth is noble, When we share her wretched crust, Ere her cause bring fame and profit, And 'tis prosperous to be just; Then it is the brave man chooses, While the coward stands aside, Till the multitude make virtue Of the faith they had denied. 3 By the light of burning martyrs, Christ, thy bleeding feet we track, Toiling up new Calvaries ever With the Cross that turns not back. New occasions teach new duties; Time makes ancient good uncouth; They must upward still and onward Who would keep abreast of truth. 4 Though the cause of evil prosper, Yet 'tis truth alone is strong; Though her portion be the scaffold And upon the throne be wrong, Yet that scaffold sways the future, And, behind the dim unknown, Standeth God within the shadow, Keeping watch above his own.
