Guide me, O thou great Jehovah!

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #455 (1828) Meter: Irregular Topics: Christian experience A pilgrimage Lyrics: 1 Guide me, O thou great Jehovah! Pilgrim through this barren land; I am weak, but thou art mighty, Hold me with thy powerful hand: Bread of heaven, Feed me till I want no more. 2 Open thou the crystal fountain, Whence the healing streams do flow, Let the fiery, cloudy pillar, Lead me all my journey through: Strong Deliverer, Be thou still my strength and shield. 3 When I tread the verge of Jordan, Bid my anxious fears subside; Death of deaths, and hell's Destruction, Land me safe on Canaan's side: Songs of praises I will ever sing to Thee.

The sun is fast descending

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #456 (1828) Meter: Irregular Topics: Christian experience A pilgrimage Lyrics: 1 The sun is fast descending His circuit from on high; The shades of eve are blending With yonder distant sky; Soon will the landscape vanish, And sable darkness banish These scenes from mortal eye. 2 Thus too our days are ending, The race will soon be run, Our sun is fast descending; Our work is almost done. Soon will our Master greet us, And heav'nly legions meet us To waft us to our home. 3 Then pilgrims! come, delay not On this unfriendly ground, And in the desert say not, That you have Canaan found. The fiery pillar leads us, The promised manna feeds us, But barren is the ground. 4 Come tune the harp to gladness, A song of Zion sing; Away with thoughts of sadness, We'll praise our heav'nly king. Our trials and our crosses, Our sufferings and our losses, But keep us near to him. 5 But Zion! when we raise thee A song in distant lands, The harp that fain would praise thee, Falls tuneless from our hands. Our hearts, distress'd and lonely, Can leap for gladness only In thy dear happy land.

Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing

Author: Robert Robinson Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal (Rev. ed.) #457 (1990) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: The Way of Salvation Salvation by Grace; Contentment; God Faithfulness of; God Goodness of; God Mercies of; God Praise of; Pilgrimage and Guidance; Preservation of Christians Lyrics: 1 Come, thou fount of ev'ry blessing, tune my heart to sing thy grace; streams of mercy, never ceasing, call for songs of loudest praise. 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 Languages: English Tune Title: NETTLETON

The christian navigates a sea

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #457 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Christian experience A pilgrimage Lyrics: 1 The christian navigates a sea Where various forms of death appear; Nor skill, alas! nor power has he, Aright his dangerous course to steer. 2 Sometimes there lies a treacherous rock Beneath the surface of the wave! He strikes, but yet survives the shock, For Jesus is at hand to save. 3 But hark, the midnight tempest roars! He seems forsaken and alone: But Jesus, whom he then implores, Unseen preserves and leads him on. 4 On the smooth surface of the deep, Without a fear he sometimes lies: The danger then is lest he sleep, And ruin seize him by surprise. 5 His destin'd land he sometimes sees, And thinks his toils will soon be o'er; Expects some favourable breeze Will waft him quickly to the shore. 6 But sudden clouds obstruct his view, And he enjoys the sight no more; Nor does he now believe it true, That he had even seen the shore. 7 Though fear his heart should overwhelm, He'll reach the port for which he's bound; For Jesus holds and guides the helm, And safety is where he is found. Scripture: Psalm 107:30

Not from the dust affliction grows

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #458 (1828) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Christian experience A pilgrimage Lyrics: 1 Not from the dust affliction grows, Nor troubles rise by chance; Yet we are born to cares and woes, A sad inheritance. 2 As sparks break out from burning coals, And still are upwards borne, So grief is rooted in our souls, And man grows lip to mourn. 3 Yet with my God I leave my cause, And trust his promis'd grace; He rules me by his well-known laws Of love and righteousness. 4 Not all the pains that e'er I bore Shall spoil my future peace, For death and hell can do no more Than what my Father please. Scripture: Job 5:6

And find at last, beneath Thy trees of healing, The life for which I long. Languages: English Tune Title: DIADEMA

My days are gliding swiftly by

Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #474 (1870) Topics: Blessedness future, anticipated; Christians their life and experience; Death anticipation of; Pilgrimage of life Lyrics: 1 My days are gliding swiftly by, And I, a pilgrim stranger, Would not detain them as they fly, Those hours of toil and danger: For now we stand on Jordan’s strand; Our friends are passing over; And, just before, the shining shore We may almost discover. 2 Our absent King the watchword gave, "Let every lamp be burning;" We look afar across the wave, Our distant home discerning. For now we stand on Jordan’s strand; Our friends are passing over; And, just before, the shining shore We may almost discover. 3 Should coming days be dark and cold, We will not yield to sorrow, For hope will sing with courage bold, "There's glory on the morrow." For now we stand on Jordan’s strand; Our friends are passing over; And, just before, the shining shore We may almost discover. 4 Let storms of woe in whirlwinds rise, Each cord on earth to sever: There--bright and joyous in the skies, There--is our home forever: For now we stand on Jordan’s strand; Our friends are passing over; And, just before, the shining shore We may almost discover.
