Jesus, thou art all compassion, pure, unbounded love thou art; visit us with thy salvation, enter every trembling heart. 2 Come, almighty to deliver, let us all thy life receive; suddenly return, and never, nevermore thy temples leave. Thee we would be always blessing, serve thee as thy hosts above, pray, and praise thee, without ceasing, glory in thy perfect love. 3 Finish then thy new creation; pure and spotless let us be; let us see thy great salvation perfectly restored in thee, changed from glory into glory, till in heaven we take our place, till we cast our crowns before thee, lost in wonder, love, and praise.

How still we see thee lie; Above thy deep and dreamless sleep The silent stars go by; Yet in thy dark streets shineth The everlasting Light; The hopes and fears of all the years Are met in thee tonight. 2 For Christ is born of Mary, And gathered all above, While mortals sleep, the angels keep Their watch of wond'ring love. O morning stars, together Proclaim the holy birth And praises sing to God our King, And peace to men on earth! 3 O holy Child of Bethlehem! Descend to us, we pray; Cast out our sin and enter in, Be born in us today. We hear the Christmas angels The great glad tidings tell; O come to us, abide with us, Our Lord Emmanuel. Amen.

Through the night of doubt and sorrow

Author: Rev. Sabine Baring-Gould; Bernhard S. Ingemann Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 327 hymnals Topics: Recessionals 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. Used With Tune: ST. ASAPH
