Through the night of doubt and sorrow

Author: Sabine Baring-Gould; Bernhard S. Ingemann Appears in 317 hymnals 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 bother, 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 the 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 for evermore. Amen. Topics: Church Communion of Saints; Church nature of; Church Unity of; Communion with saints; Peace Among Brethren; Processional; Sympathy Of Christians Used With Tune: MIDDLETON

Come, and bring the gospel grace. 3 Save us, in thy great compassion, O thou mild, pacific Prince!

Order my footsteps by Thy Word, And make my heart sincere; Let sin have no dominion, Lord, But keep my conscience clear. 5. My soul hath gone too far astray, My feet too often slip; Yet since I’ve not forgot Thy way, Restore Thy wand’ring sheep. 6. Make me to walk in Thy commands, ’Tis a delightful road; Nor let my head, or heart, or hands, Offend against my God. Used With Tune: ALEXANDRIA Text Sources: The Psalms of David, 1719

Who shall sing, if not the children?

Appears in 79 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Who shall sing, if not the children? Did not Jesus die for them? May they not, with other jewels, Sparkle in his diadem? Why to them were voices given-- Bird-like voices, sweet and clear-- Why, unless the song of heaven They begin to practice here. 2 There's a choir of infant songsters, White-robed, round the Saviour's throne; Angels cease, and, waiting, listen! Oh, 'tis sweeter than their own! Faith can hear the rapturous choral, When her ear is upward turned; Is not this the same, perfected, Which upon the earth they learned? 3 Jesus, when on earth sojourning, Loved them with a wondrous love; And will he, to heaven returning, Faithless to his blessing prove? Oh! they can not sing too early; Fathers, stand not in their way! Birds do sing while day is breaking-- Tell me, then, why should not they? Used With Tune: WHO SHALL SING, IF NOT THE CHILDREN?

Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost; As it was in the beginning is now, and ever shall be world without end.
