Joyfully, joyfully, onward I move

Author: Wm. Hunter Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #1013 (1873) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Topics: The Pilgrim's Progress Lyrics: 1 Joyfully, joyfully, onward I move, Bound to the land of bright spirits above; Angelic choristers, sing as I come, Joyfully, joyfully haste to thy home! Soon, with my pilgrimage ended below, Home to the land of delight will I go; Pilgrim and stranger no more shall I roam; Joyfully, joyfully resting at home. 2 Friends, fondly cherished, have passed on before; Waiting, they watch me approaching the shore; Singing, to cheer me through death's chilling gloom, Joyfully, joyfully haste to thy home. Sounds of sweet melody fall on my ear; Harps of the blessed, your voices I hear! Rings with the harmony heaven's high dome; Joyfully, joyfully haste to thy home. 3 Death, with thy weapons of war, lay me low; Strike, king of terrors! I fear not the blow; Jesus hath broken the bars of the tomb; Joyfully, joyfully will I go home. Bright will the morn of eternity dawn, Death shall be banished, his scepter be gone; Joyfully, then, shall I witness his doom, Joyfully, joyfully, safely at home.

Leader of faithful souls, and Guide

Author: C. Wesley, 1707-1788 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #561 (1917) Topics: Christian Pilgrim; Pilgrims 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.

O du finstres land voll plage

Hymnal: Erbauliche Lieder-Sammlung #696 (1826) Topics: Pilgrims-Lieder; Pilgrim Songs Lyrics: 1 O du finstres land voll plage, Welt, voll weinen und gescrey; In dir wird von tag zu tage Seel und leibes jammer neu: Land wo viele ströme fliessen, Die voll angst sich nur ergiessen. 2 Für den geist wächst keine speise In der traur'gen wüste hier: Auf der bangen pilgrims-reise Folgen durst und mangel mir; Scharfe steine, rauhe wege Schmerzen auf dem lebens-siege. 3 Doch du hast dich nicht zu scheuet, Theuter Heiland, durchzugehn, Durch die welt, die dornen streuet; Hilf mir gläubig anfzusehn Zu des vaterlandes grenzen, Wo mir kron und scepter glänzen. 4 Schon erblick ich dich von ferne; O wie freundlich lächelst du! Seht ihn, über luft und sterne Winkt er mir zur sabbathsruh: Jesu, Heiland, gib mir flügel, Hebe mich auf Zions-hügel. Languages: German

My spirit longs, yea, even faints, Thy sacred courts to see; My thirsting heart and flesh cry out, O living God, for Thee. 2 Beneath Thy care the sparrow finds A place of peaceful rest; Where she may safely lay her young The swallow finds a nest; Then, Lord of Hosts, my King, my God, Thy love will shelter me; Beneath Thy altar's peaceful shade My dwelling-place shall be. 3 Blest they who dwell within Thy house, Their perfect strength Thou art; Their joyful praise shall never cease, Thy ways are in their heart. Their tears of grief, like early rain, Sweet springs of joy shall fill; With strength renewed they journey safe To Zion's holy hill. Scripture: Psalm 84 Languages: English Tune Title: ERSKINE

Now let our voices join

Author: Doddridge Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #356 (1873) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: Pilgrim's Song Lyrics: 1 Now let our voices join, To form a sacred song; Ye pilgrims in Jehovah's ways, With music pass along. 2 How straight the path appears, How open and how fair! No lurking gins t' entrap our feet, No fierce destroyer there. 3 But flowers of Paradise In rich profusion spring; The Sun of glory gilds the path, And dear companions sing. 4 See Salem's golden spires In beauteous prospect rise; And brighter crowns than mortals wear, Which sparkle through the skies. 5 All honor to his name Who marks the shining way: To him who leads the wanderers on To realms of endless day.

The sun is fast descending

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #456 (1828) Meter: Irregular Topics: The Christian pilgrim's evening ode 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.
