On Jordan's Stormy Banks

Refrain I am bound for the promised land, I am bound for the promised land; O who will come and go with me? I am bound for the promised land. 2 O’er all those wide extended plain Shines one eternal day; There, Christ, the Sun, for ever reigns, And scatters night away. [Refrain] 3 When shall I reach that happy place, And be forever blest? When shall I see my Father’s face, And in His kingdom rest? [Refrain] 4 Filled with delight, my raptured soul Would here no longer stay; Though Jordan’s waves around me roll, Fearless I’d launch away. [Refrain] Tune Title: PROMISED LAND (American)

Through this dark valley of conflict and sin

Author: Annie R. Smith Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #621 (1886) Topics: The Christian Warfare and Pilgrimage Lyrics: 1 Through this dark valley of conflict and sin, Trials without and temptations within, Onward to glory, still urge thy lone way, Joyful in hope of the long-promised day. In every danger thou hast a sure Guide, To every cloud there is yet a bright side; Falter then not at the sternest behest, Ever remember 'tis all for the best. 2 Just as the eagle, in teaching to fly, Forceth her young from their covert so high; Then if strength faileth, beneath them she flies, On her wings beareth them safe to the skies; So will the arm of Jehovah uphold: In each affliction his mercies unfold; Murmur then not that he stirreth thy nest, Ever remember 'tis all for the best. 3 Never of Providence dare to complain, Sunshine and storm both must ripen the grain; Tried is the gold that the purest will shine, Crushed is the vintage that yieldeth the wine. He who the end from beginning can tell, Works for thy good, for he doeth all well: This, that prepares for the mansions of rest, Ever remember 'tis all for the best. Tune Title: TRIUMPH

Jesus Lives, My Sure Defense

Author: Otto von Schwerin, 1616-1679; Catherine Winkworth, 1827-1878 Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Worship #621 (2006) Meter: 7.8.7.8.7.7 Topics: Journey, Pilgrimage Lyrics: 1 Jesus lives, my sure defense and my everlasting Savior! Knowing this, my confidence rests in hope and will not waver, though the night of death be fraught still with many an anxious thought. 2 Jesus, my redeemer, lives; I too unto life shall waken. Bright the hope this promise gives; shall my courage, then, be shaken? Shall I fear then? Can the head rise and leave his members dead? 3 No, too closely am I bound unto him by hope forever; faith's strong hand the rock has found, grasped it, and will leave it never; even death now cannot part from its Lord the trusting heart. 4 I am flesh and must return unto dust, whence I am taken. But these eyes my Lord will know when from death I shall awaken, with my Savior to abide in his glory, at his side. 5 Then take comfort and rejoice, for his people Christ will cherish. Fear not, they will hear his voice; dying, they shall never perish; for the very grave is stirred when the trumpet's blast is heard. 6 Here on earth, then, let your hearts rise from longings vain and hollow. Seek what Christ your Lord imparts while you in his footsteps follow. As you now still wait to rise, set your hearts beyond the skies! Languages: English Tune Title: JESUS, MEINE ZUVERSICHT

Author: Anon. Hymnal: Seventh-day Adventist Hymnal #621 (1985) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: Christan Life Pilgrimage Lyrics: 1 Gracious Father, guard Thy children From the foe’s destructive power; Save, O save them, Lord, from falling In this dark and trying hour. Thou wilt surely prove Thy people, All our graces must be tried; But Thy word illumes our pathway, And in God we still confide. 2 We are in the time of waiting; Soon we shall behold our Lord, Wafted far away from sorrow, To receive our rich reward. Keep us, Lord, till Thine appearing, Pure, unspotted from the world; Let Thy Holy Spirit cheer us Till Thy banner is unfurled. 3 With what joyful exultation Shall the saints Thy banner see, When the Lord for whom we’ve waited Shall proclaim the jubilee! Freedom from this world’s pollutions; Freedom from all sin and pain; Freedom from the wiles of Satan, And from death’s destructive reign Tune Title: ELLESDIE

Cheer up, ye soldiers of the cross

Author: R. F. Cottrell Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #622 (1886) Topics: The Christian Warfare and Pilgrimage Lyrics: 1 Cheer up, ye soldiers of the cross; The moment soon will come When you shall lay your armor off, And reach your blissful home. The pearly gates will wide unfold Before our conquering King, And entering hosts, with harps of gold, Triumphantly shall sing. 2 What though the warfare be severe, And enemies be strong; And painful watchings, dark and drear, The tedious night prolong; Our Captain passed this way before, And felt each cruel sting: Courage! the strife will soon be o'er, And then with joy we'll sing. 3 Many a soldier in this strife, Has nobly bled and died, Counting it joy to give his life For Him once crucified. And when our Captain comes again, Those from the dead he'll bring; And they with us, and we with them, Triumphantly will sing. 4 O, 'twill be joy, but to behold That glad immortal throng Enter and walk the streets of gold, And sing the victor's song! To see that host and hear that song, Must joy ecstatic bring; But those who will may join that throng, With them you too may sing. Tune Title: COURAGE

As through this changing world we roam

Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #623 (1886) Topics: The Christian Warfare and Pilgrimage Lyrics: 1 As through this changing world we roam From infancy to age, Heaven is the Christian pilgrim's home, His rest at every stage; Thither his raptured thoughts ascend, Eternal joys to share; There his adoring spirit bends, While here he kneels in prayer. 2 From earth his freed affections rise To fix on things above, Where all his hope of glory lies, And love is perfect love; Ah! there may we our treasure place, There let our hearts be found, That sill where sin abounded, grace May more and more abound.
