O Christ, the Word, incarnate
Author: William Walsham How, 1823-1897 Hymnal: The Book of Praise #505 (1997) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: Journey / Pilgrimage / Pilgrims First Line: O Christ, the Word incarnate Lyrics: 1 O Christ, the Word incarnate,
O Wisdom from on high,
O Truth unchanged, unchanging,
O Light of our dark sky:
we praise you for the radiance
that from the hallowed page,
a lantern to our footsteps,
shines on from age to age.
2 Your people hold this treasure
from you, its source divine,
a light that to all ages
throughout the earth will shine;
it is the chart and compass
that all life's voyage through,
'mid mists and rocks and tempest,
still guides, O Christ, to you.
3 Oh make your church, dear Saviour,
a lamp of purest gold,
to bear before the nations
your true light, as of old;
oh teach your wandering pilgrims
by this their path to trace,
till, cloud and darkness ended,
they see you face to face. Scripture: Psalm 119:105 Languages: English Tune Title: CHENIES

pilgrims through this barren land;
I am weak, but thou art mighty;
hold me with thy powerful hand:
bread of heaven, bread of heaven,
feed me now and evermore;
feed me now and evermore.
2 Open now the crystal fountain
whence the healing stream doth flow;
let the fire and cloudy pillar
lead me all my journey through:
strong deliverer, strong deliverer,
be thou still my strength and shield;
be thou still my strength and shield.
3 When I tread the verge of Jordan,
bid my anxious fears subside;
death of death, and hell's destruction,
land me safe on Canaan's side:
songs of praises, songs of praises,
I will ever give to thee;
I will ever give to thee. Scripture: Exodus 13:21-22 Languages: English Tune Title: CWM RHONDDA
Guide me, O thou great Redeemer
Blest be the God of Israel
Author: Michael Perry Hymnal: The Book of Praise #752 (1997) Meter: 13.13.13.13 Topics: Journey / Pilgrimage / Pilgrims First Line: Blest be the God of Israel, who comes to set us free Lyrics: 1 Blessed be the God of Israel,
who comes to set us free,
he visits and redeems us,
he grants us liberty.
The prophets spoke of mercy,
of freedom and release;
God shall fulfill his promise
and bring the gift of peace.
2 Now from the house of David
a child of grace has come,
a Saviour who will lead us
to our eternal home.
Before him goes his herald,
forerunner in the way,
the prophet of salvation,
the messinger of day.
3 On those who live in darkness
the sun begins to rise,
the dawning of forgiveness
upon the sinner's eyes;
to guide the feet of pilgrims
along the paths of peace.
Oh bless our God and Saviour
with songs that never cease! Scripture: Luke 1:68-79 Languages: English Tune Title: MERLE'S TUNE
Blest be the God of Israel

Who would true valour see
Author: John Bunyan, 1628-1688 Hymnal: The Book of Praise #633 (1997) Meter: 6.5.6.5.6.6.6.5 Topics: Journey / Pilgrimage / Pilgrims Lyrics: 1 Who would true valour see,
let them come hither;
here's one will constant be,
come wind, come weather.
There's no discouragement
shall make me once relent
my first avowed intent
to be a pilgrim.
2 Who so beset me round
with dismal stories
do but themselves confound:
my strength the more is.
No foes shall stay my might;
though I with giants fight,
but I will have the right
to be a pilgrim.
3 Hobgoblin nor foul fiend
can daunt my spirit:
I know I at the end
shall life inherit.
Then, fancies, fly away!
Fear not what others say;
I'll labour night and day
to be a pilgrim. Scripture: Matthew 19:29 Languages: English Tune Title: MONKS GATE

Erwählet, ihr kinder der erden, den dunst
Hymnal: Erbauliche Lieder-Sammlung #695 (1826) Topics: Pilgrims-Lieder; Pilgrim Songs Lyrics: 1 Erwählet, ihr kinder der erden, den dunst,
Sucht weltlust, vergnügen und menschliche gunst;
Verwehrt eure bürden
Mit eitelen würden,
Liebt gift un verderben, sucht unreine brunst.
2 Verfolget den pilgrim mit spotte und hohn,
doch seht auf das ende, es nähert sich schon:
Es öffnen sich schlünde;
Dort brennen die gr¨¨nde
Der höllen und flammen euch ewigen lohn.
3 Mir glänzet von ferne Jerusalems pracht;
Ich habe mit abscheu die weltlust verlacht;
Er barmer, prophete
Ich rühme und bete,
Daß du mich aus gnaden hast weise gemacht.
4 Ich walle als pilgrim durch Mesech dahin;
Die heimat dort oben zieht kräfte und sinn:
In wonne und freuden,
Bey kummer und leiden,
Bleibt Salem mien wünschen, mien höchster gewinn.
5 Dort lebet und wohnet mein Heiland und freund,
Er labet mich ewig, dort kränkt mich kein feind:
Er trocknet die thränen,
Er stillet mein sehnen;
Dort ist meine sonne die ewig mir scheint.
6 Auf, brüder in Jesu! reis't eliender fort,
Verdoppelt die schritte, seyd frölich; denn dort
Sind häufer zu wohnen,
Ja scepter und kronen;
Dort findt ihr nach stürmen den sicherheits-port.

The Frailty of Life
Hymnal: The Psalter #104 (1912) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Christians Pilgrims and Strangers; Pilgrim Spirit First Line: With firm resolve I held my peace Lyrics: 1 With firm resolve I held my peace
And spake not either bad or good,
Lest I should utter sinful thoughts
While wicked men before me stood.
2 While I was dumb my grief was stirred,
My heart grew hot with thought suppressed;
The while I mused the fire increased,
Then to the Lord I made request.
3 Make me, O Lord, to know my end,
Teach me the measure of my days,
That I may know how frail I am
And turn from pride and sinful ways.
4 My time is nothing in Thy sight,
Behold, my days are but a span;
yea, truly at his best estate,
A breath, a fleeting breath, is man.
5 Man's life is passed in vain desire
If troubled years be spent for gain;
He knows not whose his wealth shall be,
And all his toil is but in vain.
6 And now, O Lord, what wait I for?
I have no nope except in Thee;
Let not ungodly men reproach,
From all transgression set me free.
7 Because Thou didst it I was dumb,
I spoke no word of rash complaint;
Remove Thy stroke away from me,
Beneath Thy chastisement I faint.
8 When Thou for his iniquity
Rebukest and correctest man,
His beauty is consumed away,
How weak his strength, how vain his plan.
9 Lord, hear my prayer, regard my cry,
I weep, be Thou my comforter;
I am a stranger here below,
A pilgrim as my fathers were.
10 O spare me, Lord, avert Thy wrath,
Deal gently with me, I implore,
That I may yet recover strength
Ere I go hence and be no more.
Scripture: Psalm 39 Languages: English Tune Title: BERA
The Frailty of Life
Chastened Submission
Hymnal: The Psalter #106 (1912) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: Christians Pilgrims and Strangers; Pilgrim Spirit First Line: What wait I for but Thee? Lyrics: 1 What wait I for but Thee?
My hope is in thy Name;
From all my sins deliver me,
Nor put my soul to shame.
2 I suffered silently,
Because Thy will is best;
Remove Thy heavy stroke from me,
For I am sore distressed.
3 When sin thou dost repay
And chasten and restrain,
Man's beauty quickly fades away;
Yea, human life is vain.
4 O Lord, regard my fears,
And answer my request;
Turn not in silence from my tears,
But give the mourner rest.
5 I am a stranger here,
Dependent on Thy grace,
A pilgrim, as my fathers were,
With no abiding place.
6 O spare me and restore
My failing strength, I pray;
Ere I go hence and be no more,
The hand of judgment stay.
