Through the Night of Doubt and Sorrow

Author: Bernhard S. Ingemann; Sabine Baring-Gould Hymnal: The Hymnbook #475 (1955) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: Brotherhood; Church, The Church Expectant; Fellowship; Pilgrimage of life; Processionals; Recessionals; Unity; Church, The Christian Fellowship 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 brother, 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 that 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 forevermore. 4 Onward, therefore, pilgrim brothers, Onward, with the cross our aid; Bear its shame, and fight its battle, Till we rest beneath its shade; Soon shall come the great awaking, Soon the rending of the tomb, Then the scattering of all shadows And the end of toil and gloom. Amen. Scripture: Ephesians 4:4-6 Tune Title: ST. ASAPH

O may we all one bread, one body be, Through this blest Sacrament of Unity. 2 For all thy Church, O Lord, we intercede; Make thou our sad divisions soon to cease; Draw us the nearer each to each we plead, By drawing all to thee, O Prince of Peace; Thus may we all one bread, one body be, Through this blest Sacrament of Unity. 3 We pray thee, too, for wand'rers from thy fold; O bring them back, Good Shepherd of the sheep, Back to the faith which saints believed of old, Back to the Church which still that faith doth keep; Soon may we all one bread, one body be, Through this blest Sacrament of Unity. 4 So, Lord, at length when sacraments shall cease, May we be one with all thy Church above, One with thy saints in one unbroken peace, One with thy saints in one unbounded love; More blessed still in peace and love to be One with the Trinity in Unity.

On your far hills, long cold and gray, Has dawned the everlasting day. 4 Shores of the utmost West, Ye that have waited long, Unvisited, unblest, Break forth to swelling song; High raise the note, that Jesus died, Yet lives and reigns, the Crucified. 5 Shout, while ye journey home; Songs be in every mouth; Lo, from the North we come, From East, and West, and South. City of God, the bond are free, We come to live and reign in thee! Amen. Scripture: Psalm 2:8 Tune Title: LITTLE CORNARD

The hallowing of our nation; Thou wast through many a wealthy year, Through many a darkened day of fear The rock of our salvation. Arise, arise, good Christian men, Your glorious standard raise again, The Cross of Christ who calls you; Who bids you live and bids you die For his great cause, and stands on high To witness what befalls you. 2 *Our fathers heard the trumpet call Through lowly cot and kingly hall From oversea resounding: They bowed their stubborn wills to learn The truths that live, the thoughts that burn, With new resolve abounding. *Arise, arise, good Christian men, Your glorious standard raise again, The Cross of Christ who guides you; Whose arm is bared to join the fray, Who marshals you in stern array. Fearless, whate'er betides you. 3 Our fathers held the faith received, By Saints declared, by Saints believed. By Saints in death defended; Through pain of doubt and bitterness, Through pain of treason and distress, They for the right contended. Arise, arise, good Christian men, Your glorious standard raise again, The Cross of Christ who bought you; Who leads you forth in this new age With long-enduring hearts to wage The warfare he has taught you. 4 *Though frequent be the loud alarms, Though still we march by ambushed arms Of death and hell surrounded, With Christ for chief we fear no foe, Nor force nor craft can overthrow The Church that he has founded. *Arise, arise, good Christian men, Your glorious standard raise again, The Cross where with he signed you; The King himself shall lead you on, Shall watch you till the strife be done. Then near his throne shall find you. Languages: English Tune Title: O MENSCH BEWEIN
