Come, all ye mourning pilgrims dear
Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.6.8.6 Appears in 64 hymnals Lyrics:
1.
Come, all ye mourning pilgrims dear,
Who're bound for Canaan's land,
Take courage and fight valiantly,
Stand fast with sword in hand;
Our Captain's gone before us,
Our Father's only Son,
Then, pilgrims dear, pray, do not fear,
But let us follow on.
2.
We have a howling wilderness,
To Canaan's happy shore,
A land of dearth, and pits, and snares,
Where chilling winds do roar.
But Jesus will be with us,
And guard us by the way;
Though enemies examine us,
He'll teach us what to say.
3.
The pleasant fields of paradise,
So glorious to behold,
The valleys clad in living green,
The mountains paved with gold:
The trees of life with heavenly fruit,
Behold how rich they stand
Blow, gentle gales, and bear my soul
To Canaan's happy land.
4.
Sweet rivers of salvation all
Through Canaan's land do roll,
The beams of day bring glittering scenes
Illuminate my soul;
There's ponderous clouds of glory,
All set in diamonds bright;
And there's my smiling Jesus,
Who is my heart's delight.
5.
Already to my raptured sight,
The blissful fields arise,
And plenty spreads her smiling stores,
Inviting to my eyes.
O sweet abode of endless rest,
I soon shall travel there,
Nor earth nor all her empty joys
Shall long detain me here.
6.
Come, all you pilgrim travelers,
Fresh courage take by me;
Meantime I'll tell you how I came,
This happy land to see;
Through faith the glorious telescope
I viewed the worlds above,
And God the Father reconciled,
Which fills my heart with love.

Author: Horatius Bonar, 1808-1889; Desconocido Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.6.8.6 Appears in 23 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Oí la voz del Salvador
Decir con tierno amor:
"¡Oh, ven a Mí, no temas más,
Cargado pecador!"
Tal como estaba, a mi Jesús
Cansado yo acudi;
Y luego dulce alivio y paz
Por fe en Él recibí.
2 Oí la voz del Salvador
Decir: "Venid, bebed;
Yo soy la fuente de salud
Que apaga toda sed."
Con sed de Dios, del vivo Dios,
Buscando a mi Emmanuel,
Lo hallé: mi sed Él apagó,
Y ahora vivo en Él.
3 Oí su dulce voz decir:
"Del mundo soy la luz;
Miradme a Mí, os salvaré;
Hay vida por mi cruz."
Mirando a Cristo, luego en Él
Mi norte y sol hallé:
Y en esa luz de vida y paz
Por siempre viviré. Topics: La Vida Cristiana Invitación; Cuaresma; Santa Comunión; Fe; Cruz y Consuelo; Cross and Comfort; Closing; Faith; The Christian Life Invitation; Holy Communion Used With Tune: VOX DILECTI

Al coro celestial,
Cantemos con los ángeles
Un cántico triunfal;
Y si vertimos lágrimas
Al frente de la cruz,
Rebose hoy el júbilo
Pues vive el buen Jesús.
2 Lo que en el triste Gólgota
Derrota pareció,
En el sellado túmulo
En triunfo se cambió;
Vencido está el báratro,
Menguado su poder;
Nunca el mortal su súbdito
De hoy más habrá de ser.
3 Del Moria allá en la cúspide
Se obró la salvación,
Allí se ostenta el lábaro
De nuestra redención;
Y sueltos ya los vínculos
De la mortalidad,
La tumba abierta es símbolo
De nuestra libertad.
4 Jesús, de gloria príncipe,
Autor de nuestra paz,
Dirígenos benévola
Tu esplendorosa faz;
Y acepta el dulce cántico
De nuestra gratitud

How Happy Every Child of Grace
Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: Funeral Hymns #2 (1759) Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 How happy every child of graceWho knows his sins forgiven!This earth, he cries, is not my place,I seek my place in heaven:A country far from mortal sight;Yet, O! By faith I seeThe land of rest, the saints’ delight,The heaven prepar’d for me.2 A stranger in the world below,I calmly sojourn here,Nor can its happiness or woeProvoke my hope or fear:Its evils in a moment end,Its joys as soon are past;But, O! The bliss to which I tendEternally shall last.3 To that Jerusalem aboveWith singing I repair,While in the flesh, my hope and love,My heart and soul are there:There my exalted Saviour stands,My merciful high-priest,And still extends his wounded handsTo take me to his breast.4 What is there here to court my stay,To hold me back from home,While angels beckon me away,And Jesus bids me come?Shall I regret my parted friendsStill in the vale confin’d?Nay, but whene’er my soul ascends,They will not stay behind.5 The race we all are running now,And if I first attain,They too their willing head shall bow,They too the prize shall gain:Now on the brink of death we stand,And if I pass before,They all shall soon escape to land,And hail me on the shore.6 Then let me suddenly remove,That hidden life to share;I shall not lose my friends above,But more enjoy them there.There we in Jesus’ praise shall join,His boundless love proclaim,And solemnize in songs divineThe marriage of the Lamb.7 O what a blessed hope is ours!While here on earth we stay,We more than taste the heavenly powers,And antedate that day:We feel the resurrection near,Our life in Christ conceal’d,And with his glorious presence hereOur earthen vessels fill’d.8 O would he more of heaven bestow,And let the vessel break,And let our ransom’d spirits goTo grasp the God we seek:In rapturous awe on him to gazeWho bought the sight for me,And shout and wonder at his graceThro’ all eternity.Charles Wesley, Funeral Hymns No. 2 (1759) Languages: English

Edmund H. Sears
1810 - 1876 Person Name: Edmund Hamilton Sears, 1810-1876 Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.6.8.6 Author of "A media noche resonó" in Culto Cristiano Edmund Hamilton Sears was born in Berkshire [County], Massachusetts, in 1810; graduated at Union College, Schenectady, in 1834, and at the Theological School of Harvard University, in 1837. He became pastor of the Unitarian Society in Wayland, Mass., in 1838; removed to Lancaster in 1840; but on account of ill health was obliged to retire from the active duties of the ministry in 1847; since then, residing in Wayland, he devoted himself to literature. He has published several works.
--Annotations of the Hymnal, Charles Hutchins, M.A., 1872
=======================
Sears, Edmund Hamilton, D.D., son of Joseph Sears, was born at Sandisfield, Berkshire County, Massachusetts, April 6, 1810, and educated at Union College, Schenectady, N.Y., where he graduated in 1834; and at the Theological School at Cambridge. In 1838 he became pastor of the First Church (Unitarian) at Wayland, Massachusetts; then at Lancaster in the same State, in 1840; again at Wayland, in 1847; and finally at Weston, Massachusetts, in 1865. He died at Weston, Jan. 14, 1876. He published:—
(1) Regeneration, 1854; (2) Pictures of the Olden Time, 1857; (3) Athanasia, or Foregleams of Immortality, 1858, enlarged ed., 1872; (4) The Fourth Gospel the Heart of Christ; (5) Sermons and Songs of the Christian Life, 1875, in which his hymns are collected. Also co-editor of the Monthly Religious Magazine.
Of his hymns the following are in common use:—
1. Calm on the listening ear of night. Christmas. This hymn was first published in its original form, in the Boston Observer, 1834; afterwards, in the Christian Register, in 1835; subsequently it was emended by the author, and, as thus emended, was reprinted entire in the Monthly Magazine, vol. xxxv. Its use is extensive.
2. It came upon the midnight clear. Christmas.
"Rev. Dr. Morison writes to us, Sears's second Christmas hymn was sent to me as editor of the Christian Register, I think, in December, 1849. I was very much delighted with it, and before it came out in the Register, read it at a Christmas celebration of Dr. Lunt's Sunday School in Quincy. I always feel that, however poor my Christmas sermon may be, the reading and singing of this hymn are enough to make up for all deficiences.'"
3. Ho, ye that rest beneath the rock. Charitable Meetings on behalf of Children. Appeared in Longfellow and Johnson's Hymns of the Spirit, Boston, 1864, in 2 stanzas of 8 lines.
Dr. Sears's two Christmas hymns rank with the best on that holy season in the English language. Although a member of the Unitarian body, his views were rather Swedenborgian than Unitarian. He held always to the absolute Divinity of Christ. [Rev. F. M. Bird, M.A.]

Juan Bautista Cabrera Ivars
1837 - 1916 Person Name: Juan Bautista Cabrera, 1837-1916 Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.6.8.6 Author of "Unidos en espíritu" in Culto Cristiano Juan Bautista Cabrera Ivars was born in Benisa, Spain, April 23, 1837. He attended seminary in Valencia, studying Hebrew and Greek, and was ordained as a priest. He fled to Gibraltar in 1863 due to religious persecution where he abandoned Catholicism. He worked as a teacher and as a translator. One of the works he translated was E.H. Brown's work on the thirty-nine articles of the Anglican Church, which was his introduction to Protestantism. He was a leader of a Spanish Reformed Church in Gibraltar. He continued as a leader in this church when he returned to Spain after the government of Isabel II fell, but continued to face legal difficulties. He then organized the Spanish Reformed Episcopal Church and was consecrated as bishop in 1894. He recognized the influence of music and literature on evangelism which led him to write and translate hymns.
