Lo! what a cloud of witnesses
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 63 hymnals Topics: Christian Vocation and Pilgrimage Lyrics: 1 Lo! what a cloud of witnesses
encompass us around!
They, once like us with suffering tried,
are now with glory crowned.
2 Let us, with zeal like theirs inspired,
strive in the Christian race;
and, freed from every weight of sin,
their holy footsteps trace.
3 Behold a Witness nobler still,
who trod affliction's path:
Jesus, the author, finisher,
rewarder of our faith.
4 He, for the joy before him set,
and moved by pitying love,
endured the cross, despised the shame,
and now he reigns above.
5 Thither, forgetting things behind,
press we to God's right hand;
there, with the Savior and his saints,
triumphantly to stand. Scripture: Hebrews 12:1-3 Used With Tune: ST. FULBERT Text Sources: Translations and Paraphrases, 1745, alt.

Bear me o'er life's fitful sea;
Then the gate of life eternal
May I enter, Lord with Thee.

Lead Us, O Father
Author: William H. Burleigh Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 161 hymnals Topics: Pilgrimage, Christian First Line: Lead us, O Father, in the paths of peace Lyrics: 1 Lead us, O Father, in the paths of peace;
Without Thy guiding hand we go astray,
And doubts appall, and sorrows still increase;
Lead us through Christ, the true and living Way.
2 Lead us, O Father, in the paths of truth;
Unhelped by Thee, in error's maze we grope,
While passion stains, and folly dims our youth,
And age comes on, uncheered by faith or hope.
3 Lead us, O Father, in the paths of right;
Blindly we stumble when we walk alone,
Involved in shadows of a dark'ing night;
Only with Thee we journey safely on.
4 Lead us, O Father, to Thy heav'nly rest,
However rough and steep the path may be,
Thro' joy or sorrows, as Thou deemest best,
until our lives are perfected in Thee.
Amen. Scripture: John 10:4 Used With Tune: LANGRAN
