Ristad, 1863-1938 Meter: 8.7.8.7.6.6.8.8 Appears in 13 hymnals Scripture: Philippians 3:12-14 Lyrics: 1 I walk in danger all the way; the thought shall never leave me that Satan, who has marked his prey, is plotting to deceive me. This foe with hidden snares may seize me unawares if e'er I fail to watch and pray; I walk in danger all the way. 2 I pass through trials all the way, with sin and ills contending; in patience I must bear each day the cross of God's own sending. Oft in adversity I know not where to flee, when storms of woe my soul dismay; I pass through trials all the way. 3 Grim death pursues me all the way, nowhere I rest securely; he comes by night, he comes by day, he takes his prey most surely. A failing breath, and I in death's strong grasp may lie to face eternity today; grim death pursues me all the way. 4 I walk with angels all the way, they shield me and befriend me; all Satan's pow'r is held at bay when heav'nly hosts attend me. They are my sure defense; all fear and sorrow, hence! Unharmed by foes, do what they may, I walk with angels all the way. 5 I walk with Jesus all the way, his guidance never fails me; within his wounds I find a stay when Satan's pow'r assails me; and by his footsteps led, my path I safely tread. No evil leads my soul astray; I walk with Jesus all the way. 6 My walk is heav'nward all the way; await, my soul, the morrow, when your at last with joy can say farewell to sin and sorrow. All worldly pomp, begone! To heav'n I now press on. For all the world I would not stay; my walk is heav'nward all the way. Topics: Hope and Comfort Used With Tune: DER LIEBEN SONNE LICHT UND PRACHT

It Is Better Farther On

Author: Unknown Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 12 hymnals Scripture: Philippians 3:13-14 First Line: Hark! I hear Hope sweetly singing Lyrics: 1 Hark! I hear Hope sweetly singing Softly in an undertone, Singing as if God had taught her, “It is better farther on.” Night and day I hear her singing— Singing while I sit alone, Singing so my heart may hear it, “It is better farther on.” 2 When my faith took hold on Jesus, Light divine within me shone, And I know since that glad moment, “It is better farther on.” I have plunged into the fountain, Flowing free for everyone; I am saved and Hope is singing, “It is better farther on.” 3 Farther on, but how much farther? Count the milestones one by one; No, no counting, only trusting— “It is better farther on.” Rest, my soul, in hope forever, all my doubts and fears are gone; Jesus is my Savior, Keeper— “It is better farther on.” Used With Tune: [Hark!
