Lord! what a wretched Land is this

Appears in 113 hymnals Topics: Dangers of our earthly Pilgrimage; Earth and Heaven; Pilgrimage of the Saints; Christian Race; Society in Heaven blessed; Spiritual Pilgrimage Lyrics: 1 Lord! what a wretched Land is this, That yields us no Supply; No chearing Fruits, no wholesome Trees, Nor Streams of living Joy. 2 But pricking Thorns through all the Ground, And mortal Poisons grow, And all the Rivers that are found, With dang'rous Waters flow. 3 Yet the dear Path to thine Abode Lies through this horrid Land, Lord! we would keep the heav'nly Road, And run at thy Command. [4 Our Souls shall tread the Desart through With undiverted Feet; And Faith and flaming Zeal subdue The Terrors that we meet.] [5 A thousand savage Beasts of Prey Around the Forest roam, But Judah's Lion guards the Way, And guides the Strangers Home.] [6 Long Nights and Darkness dwell below, With scarce a twinkling Ray; But the bright World to which we go Is everlasting Day.] [7 By glimmering Hopes and gloomy Fears We trace the sacred Road; Thro' dismal Deeps and dang'rous Snares We make our Way to God.] 8 Our Journey is a thorny Maze, But we march upward still, Forget these Troubles of the Ways, And reach at Sion's Hill. [9 See the kind Angels at the Gates, Inviting us to come; There Jesus the Fore-runner waits To welcome Trav'lers Home.] 10 There on a green and flow'ry Mount Our weary Souls shall sit, And with transporting Joys recount The Labours of our Feet. [11 No vain Discourse shall fill our Tongue, Nor Trifles vex our Ear, Infinite Grace shall be our Song, And God rejoice to hear.] 12 Eternal Glories to the King That brought us safely through; Our Tongue shall never cease to sing, And endless Praise renew.

Jeg veed at evigt Himmerig

Author: Hans Sthen Appears in 4 hymnals Topics: The Christian Pilgrimage Lyrics: 1 Jeg veed et evigt Himmerig, Som ei med Guld det røde Er smykket ud saa prydelig, Men med Guds Ord bet søde. 2 Der bor min Herre Jesus Krist, Som er Guds Søn den fromme, Min Brudgom kjær mig venter vist, Og beder til sig komme. 3 En Pilegrim er jeg forsand, Og snart hat Reisen Ende, Da gaar jeg til mit Fædreland, Mig kan ei bedre hænde. 4 Jeg fattig hid til Verden kom, Saa ringe var min Stamme, Gaar herfra ud med Haanden tom, Mig følger Død hin gramme. 5 Dog er jeg vis, at denne Krop I Døden ei skal blive, Men skal ved Guds Søns Kraft staa op, Han vil mig Glæden give. 6 Da opnaar jeg, det er min Tro, Som her led megen Plage, For Sorg og Strid Guds Fred og Ro I Evighedens Dage. 7 Jeg skilles fra al Usseldom Paa denne Jordens Tue, Min Herre Jesus raaber: Kom! Du tør slet ikke grue. 8 Jeg dig forløste med mit Blod, Og elskte dig af Hjerte, Vær derfor du kun ved godt Mod, Jeg døve vil din Smerte! 9 Har du mig kjær, min Hjertens Skat, Hvi vil du dig saa krænke? Thi paa din Synd, som er forladt, Jeg aldrig mer vil tænke. 10 Naar Verden al som Flyvesand Med Guld og Glæde viger, Da staar jeg hos din høire Haand, Den Ven, dig aldrig sviger. 11 Thi lader os i Evighed Gud takke allesammen For hans den store Miskundhed Ved Jesus Kristus! Amen. Text Sources: Efter ukj. Forfatter

My company before is gone, and I am left alone with thee. With thee all night I mean to stay, and wrestle till the break of day; with thee all night I mean to stay, and wrestle till the break of day. 2. I need not tell thee who I am, my misery and sin declare; thyself hast called me by my name, look on thy hands and read it there. But who, I ask thee, who art thou? Tell me thy name, and tell me now. But who, I ask thee, who art thou? Tell me thy name, and tell me now. 3. Yield to me now, for I am weak, but confident in self-despair! Speak to my heart, in blessing speak, be conquered by my instant prayer. Speak, or thou never hence shalt move, and tell me if thy name is Love. Speak, or thou never hence shalt move, and tell me if thy name is Love. 4 'Tis Love! 'tis Love! Thou diedst for me, I hear thy whisper in my heart. The morning breaks, the shadows flee, pure, Universal Love thou art. To me, to all, thy mercies move; thy nature and thy name is Love. To me, to all, thy mercies move; thy nature and thy name is Love. Scripture: Genesis 32:24-32 Used With Tune: CANDLER

Teach me some melodious sonnet, sung by flaming tongues above; praise the mount! I'm fixed upon it, mount of God's unchanging love. 2 Here I raise my Ebenezer; hither by thy help I'm come; and I hope, by thy good pleasure, safely to arrive at home. Jesus sought me when a stranger, wand'ring from the fold of God: he, to rescue me from danger, interposed his precious blood. 3 O to grace how great a debtor daily I'm constrained to be; let that grace now, like a fetter, bind my wand'ring heart to thee. Prone to wander – Lord, I feel it – prone to leave the God I love; here's my heart, O take and seal it, seal it for thy courts above. Scripture: 1 Samuel 7:12 Used With Tune: NETTLETON

There's the city to which I journey; My Redeemer, my Redeemer, is its light; There is no sinning, nor any sighing, Nor any tears there, nor any dying. I'm a pilgrim, and I'm a stranger; I can tarry, I can tarry but a night. Used With Tune: I'M A PILGRIM

O what shall I ask of Thy providence more? 4 Let goodness and mercy, my bountiful God, Still follow my steps till I meet Thee above: I seek by the path which my ancestors trod, Through the land of their sojourn, Thy kingdom of love; Through the land of their sojourn, Thy kingdom of love.
