The Tender Light of Home Behind
The Chariots Of The Lord Are Strong
Author: John Brownlie Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The chariots of the Lord are strong,
Their number passeth ken;
Mount them and fight against the wrong,
Ye who are valiant men.
2 Where, unabashed, the power of sin
Vaunts an unhindered sway,
Ride, in the strength of God, and win
Fresh laurels in the fray.
3 For freedom wield the sword of might,
And cut the bands that bind;
Strike boldly in the cause of right,
And still fresh laurels find.
4 Where hands are weak, and hearts are faint,
Through conflict sharp and sore;
Where hearts that murmur no complaint,
Shrink at the thought of more:
5 There let the power of God be shown,
To quell satanic might;
To rescue those who strive alone,
Despondent in the fight.
6 Ride on, the chariots of the Lord,
Dispel the hosts of sin;
Ye who are valiant, wield the sword,
And still fresh laurels win. Used With Tune: PENMAENMAWR Text Sources: Hymns of the Early Church (London: Morgan & Scott, 1913)

God Of My Mercy And My Praise
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 72 hymnals Lyrics: 1 God of my mercy and my praise,
Thy glory is my song,
Though sinners speak against Thy grace
With a blaspheming tongue.
2 When in the form of mortal man
Thy Son on earth was found,
With cruel slanders, false and vain,
They compassed Him around.
3 Their miseries His compassion move,
Their peace He still pursued;
They render hatred for His love,
And evil for His good.
4 Their malice raged without a cause,
Yet, with His dying breath,
He prayed for murderers on His cross,
And blessed His foes in death.
5 Lord, shall Thy bright example shine
In vain before my eyes?
Give me a soul akin to Thine
To love my enemies.
6 The Lord shall on my side engage,
And, in my Savior’s name,
I shall defeat their pride and rage
Who slander and condemn. Used With Tune: PENMAENMAWR Text Sources: The Psalms of David, 1719
God Of My Mercy And My Praise
I Walk A Lonely Pilgrim Here
Author: Louisa J. Beach Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 11 hymnals Lyrics: 1 I walk a lonely pilgrim here,
O’er life’s uneven way;
My aching heart keeps hoping, for
A bright and better day;
A glorious home, a goodly land,
The blessèd, heavenly rest;
And well I know that land is near,
The home of all who’re blest.
2 I walk alone, and oft am sad,
And fall the briny tears;
My heart is grieved with trials sore,
And pressed with many cares.
The better land no sorrow knows—
There, hushed is every sigh;
The Savior’s hand in kindness wipes
The tear-drop from each eye.
3 I walk alone, and yet am glad,
The blessèd promise’s given,
To cheer the heart—the lowly one,
Towards that promised Heaven.
The humble path my Savior walked,
I scorn it not to tread;
The frowns and scoffs my Savior bore
May fall upon my head.
4 I stand upon His precious word,
My soul rejoiceth free,
The glorious light the Gospel gives,
Is light that shines for me.
I’ll suffer now, I’ll triumph then;
I’ll die for Jesus here,
In that bright world I’ll live again,
A conqueror’s crown to wear. Used With Tune: PENMAENMAWR Text Sources: Second Advent Hymn Book, by Phineas A. Smith (New York: Smith & Clough, 1850)
