Ingemann; Sabine Baring-Gould Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 317 hymnals Scripture: John 17:21 First Line: Through the night of doubt and sorrow Lyrics: Through the night of doubt and sorrowOnward goes the pilgrim band,Singing songs of expectation,Marching to the promised land.Clear before us through the darknessGleams and burns the guiding light:Brother clasps the hand of brother,Stepping fearless through the night.One the light of God’s own presence,O’er His ransomed people shed,Chasing far the gloom and terror,Bright’ning 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.One the strain that lips of thousandsLift as from the heart of one;One the conflict, one the perilOne the march in God begun.One the gladness of rejoicingOn the far eternal shore,Where the one almighty FatherReigns in love forevermore.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 scatt’ring of all shadows,And the end of toil and gloom.

Far from these narrow scenes of night

Author: Steele Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 305 hymnals Scripture: John 17:24 Lyrics: 1 Far from these narrow scenes of night, Unbounded glories rise, And realms of joy and pure delight, Unknown to mortal eyes. 2 Fair, distant land! could mortal eyes But half its charms explore, How would our spirits long to rise, And dwell on earth no more! 3 No cloud those blissful regions know,-- Realms ever bright and fair; For sin, the source of mortal woe, Can never enter there. 4 Oh, may the heavenly prospect fire Our hearts with ardent love, Till wings of faith and strong desire Bear every thought above. 5 Prepare us, Lord, by grace divine, For thy bright courts on high; Then bid our spirits rise and join The chorus of the sky.
