What poor, despised company
Author: Anon. Appears in 172 hymnals Topics: The Christian Warfare and Pilgrimage Lyrics: 1 What poor, despised company
Of travelers are these,
Who walk in yonder narrow way,
Along the rugged maze?
Along the rugged maze?
2 Ah! these are of a royal line,
All children of a King,
Heirs of immortal crowns divine;
And lo! for joy they sing.
3 Why do they, then, appear so mean,
And why so much despised?
Because of their rich robes unseen
The world is not apprised.
4 But why keep they that narrow road
That rugged, thorny maze?
Why, that's the way their Leader trod,
They love and keep his ways.
5 Why do they shun the pleasing path
That worldings love so well?
Because that is the road to death,
The open road to hell.
6 What! is there then no other road
To Salem's happy ground?
Christ is the only way to God,
No other can be found. Used With Tune: NEWELL
What poor, despised company
Sleep not, soldier of the cross
Author: Anon. Appears in 44 hymnals Topics: The Christian Warfare and Pilgrimage Lyrics: 1 Sleep not, solider of the cross;
Foes are lurking all around:
Look not here to find repose;
This is but thy battleground.
2 Up, and take thy shield and sword;
Up, it is the call of Heaven;
Shrink not faithless from thy Lord,
Nobly strive as he hath striven.
3 Break through all the force of ill,
Tread the might of passion down,
Struggle onward, onward still,
To the conquering Saviour's crown.
4 Through the midst of toil and pain,
Let this thought ne'er leave thy breast,
Every triumph thou dost gain
Makes more sweet thy coming rest.
Used With Tune: ROOT
Sleep not, soldier of the cross
Deilig er Jorden
Author: Ingemann Appears in 2 hymnals Topics: The Christian Pilgrimage Lyrics: 1 Deilig er Jorden,
Prægtig er Guds Himmel,
Skjøn er Sjælens Pigrimsgang!
Gjennem de fagre
Riger paa Jorden
Gaa vi til paradis med Sang!
2 Tider skal komme,
Tider skal henrukke,
Slægt skal følge Slægters Gang;
Aldrig forstummer
Tonen fra Himlen,
I Sjælens glade Pilgrimssang.
3 Englene sang den
Først for Markens Hyrder,
Skjønt fra Sjæl til Sjæl det lød!
Fred over Jorden,
Menneske fryd dig,
Os er en evig Frelser fød!
Deilig er Jorden
Through this dark valley of conflict and sin
Author: Annie R. Smith Appears in 3 hymnals 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. Used With Tune: TRIUMPH

Jesus, I My Cross Have Taken
Author: Henry F. Lyte Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1,346 hymnals Topics: Pilgrimage, Christian Lyrics: 1 Jesus, I my cross have taken,
All to leave and follow Thee;
Destitute, despised, forsaken,
Thou from hence my all shalt be:
Perish every fond ambition,
All I've sought, and hoped, and known;
Yet how rich is my condition,
God and heav'n are still my own!
2 Let the world despise and leave me,
They have left my Savior too;
Human hearts and looks deceive me;
Thou art not, like man, untrue;
And, while Thou shalt smile upon me,
God of wisdom, love, and might,
Foes may hate and friends may shun me;
Show Thy face, and all is bright.
3 Man may trouble and distress me,
'Twill but drive me to Thy breast;
Life with trials hard may press me,
Heav'n will bring me sweeter rest.
O 'tis not in grief to harm me,
While Thy love is left to me;
O 'twere not in joy to charm me,
Were that joy unmixed with Thee.
4 Hasten on from grace to glory,
Armed by faith and winged by prayer;
Heav'n's eternal day's before me,
God's own hand shall guide me there.
Soon shall close my earthly mission,
Swift shall pass my pilgrim days,
Hope shall change to glad fruition,
Faith to sight, and prayer to praise.
Amen. Scripture: Mark 8:34 Used With Tune: ELLESDIE

let us early turn to thee.
4 Early let us seek thy favor,
early let us do thy will;

thou hast loved us, love us still. Scripture: John 10:14 Used With Tune: SHEPHERD Text Sources: Hymns for the Young, 1836
