Ingemann; Sabine Baring-Gould Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 325 hymnals Topics: Brotherhood; Church, The Church Expectant; Fellowship; Pilgrimage of life; Processionals; Recessionals; Unity; Church, The Christian Fellowship 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 forevermore. 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 scattering of all shadows And the end of toil and gloom. Amen. Scripture: Ephesians 4:4-6 Used With Tune: ST. ASAPH

Soldiers of Christ, arise

Author: Charles Wesley Appears in 916 hymnals Topics: The Christian Warfare and Pilgrimage Lyrics: 1 Soldiers of Christ, arise, And put your armor on; Fight, for the battle will be ours; We fight to win a crown. 2 We fight not against flesh, We wrestle not with blood; But principalities and powers, And for the truth of God; 3 With wicked spirits, too, That in high places stand, Perverting oft the word of God, And say 'tis by command. 4 Put all the armor on, Like valiant soldiers stand; Let all your loins be girt with truth, Waiting our Lord's command. 5 While Jesus is our friend, And his rich grace supplies, We'll march like valiant soldiers on; We're sure to win the prize. 6 The battle's almost o'er; The race is nearly run; Then with our glorious, conquering King We'll sit down on his throne.

Jesus, I My Cross Have Taken

Author: Henry F. Lyte Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1,326 hymnals Topics: Pilgrimage, Christian Lyrics: 1 Jesus, I my cross have taken, All to leave and follow Thee; Destitute, despised, forsaken, Thou from hence my all shalt be: Perish every fond ambition, All I've sought, and hoped, and known; Yet how rich is my condition, God and heav'n are still my own! 2 Let the world despise and leave me, They have left my Savior too; Human hearts and looks deceive me; Thou art not, like man, untrue; And, while Thou shalt smile upon me, God of wisdom, love, and might, Foes may hate and friends may shun me; Show Thy face, and all is bright. 3 Man may trouble and distress me, 'Twill but drive me to Thy breast; Life with trials hard may press me, Heav'n will bring me sweeter rest. O 'tis not in grief to harm me, While Thy love is left to me; O 'twere not in joy to charm me, Were that joy unmixed with Thee. 4 Hasten on from grace to glory, Armed by faith and winged by prayer; Heav'n's eternal day's before me, God's own hand shall guide me there. Soon shall close my earthly mission, Swift shall pass my pilgrim days, Hope shall change to glad fruition, Faith to sight, and prayer to praise. Amen. Scripture: Mark 8:34 Used With Tune: ELLESDIE
