Through the night of doubt and sorrow
Author: Bernhardt Severin Ingeman, 1789-1862; Sabine Baring-Gould, 1834-1924 Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 317 hymnals Topics: The Pilgrim Community Lyrics: 1 Through the night of doubt and sorrow
onward goes the pilgrim band,
singing songs of expectation,
marching to the promised land.
2 Clear before us, through the darkness
gleams and burns the guiding light;
so we march in hope united,
stepping fearless through the night.
3 One the light of God's own presence
o'er his ransomed people shed,
chasing far the gloom and terror,
bright'ning all the path we tread.
4 One the object of our journey,
one the faith which never tires,
one the earnest looking forward,
one the hope our God inspires.
5 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.
6 One the gladness of rejoicing
on the far eternal shore,
where the one almighty Father
reigns in love for evermore.
7 Onward, therefore, fellow pilgrims,
onward with the Cross our aid;
bear its shame and fight its battle,
till we rest beneath its shade.
8 Soon shall come the great awaking,
soon the rending of the tomb;
then the scatt'ring of all shadows,
and the end of toil and gloom. Scripture: Exodus 13:21 Used With Tune: ST OSWALD
Through the night of doubt and sorrow

thy people still are fed,
who through this weary pilgrimage
has all our forebears led.
2 Our vows, our prayers, we now present
before thy throne of grace;
God of our forebears, be the God
of their succeeding race.
3 Through each mysterious path of life
be thou our constant guide;
give us each day our daily bread,
and raiment fit provide.
4 O spread thy cov'ring wings around
till all our wanderings cease,
and at our Father's loved abode
our souls arrive in peace. Scripture: Luke 11:2-4 Used With Tune: BURFORD

Father, hear the prayer we offer
Author: Maria Willis, 1824-1908 Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 234 hymnals Topics: The Pilgrim Community Lyrics: 1 Father, hear the prayer we offer:
not for ease that prayer shall be,
but for strength that we may ever
live our lives courageously.
2 Not for ever in green pastures
do we ask our way to be;
but the steep and rugged pathway
may we tread rejoicingly.
3 Not for ever by still waters
would we idly rest and stay;
but would smite the living fountains
from the rocks along our way.
4 Be our strength in hours of weakness,
in our wand'rings be our guide;
through endeavour, failure, danger,
Father, be thou at our side. Scripture: Acts 2:1-4 Used With Tune: MARCHING
Father, hear the prayer we offer
The God of Abraham praise
Author: Thomas Olivers, 1725-1799 Meter: 6.6.8.4 D Appears in 454 hymnals Topics: The Pilgrim Community Lyrics: 1 The God of Abraham praise
who reigns enthroned above,
Ancient of everlasting Days,
and God of love:
Jehovah, great I AM,
by earth and heav'n confessed;
we bow and bless the sacred name,
for ever blest.
2 The God of Abraham praise,
at whose supreme command
from earth we rise, and seek the joys
at his right hand:
we all on earth forsake,
its wisdom, fame and pow'r;
and him our only portion make,
our shield and tow'r.
3 The God of Abraham praise,
whose all-sufficient grace
shall guide us all our happy days,
in all our ways:
he is our faithful friend;
he is our gracious God;
and he will save us to the end,
through Jesus' blood.
4 He by himself has sworn -
we on his oath depend -
we shall, on eagles' wings upborne,
to heav'n ascend:
we shall behold his face,
we shall his pow'r adore,
and sing the wonders of his grace
for evermore.
5 The whole triumphant host
give thanks to God on high;
'Hail, Father, Son and Holy Ghost!'
they ever cry:
Hail, Abraham's God and ours!
We join the heav'nly throng,
and celebrate with all our pow'rs
in endless song.

Oft in danger, oft in woe
Author: Henry Kirke White, 1785-1806 Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 348 hymnals Topics: The Pilgrim Community Lyrics: 1 Oft in danger, oft in woe,
onward, Christians, onward go;
bear the toil, maintain the strife,
strengthened with the bread of life.
2 Onward through the desert night,
keeping faith and vision bright;
face the challenge of the hour
trusting in your Saviour's power?
3 Let not sorrow dim your eye,
soon shall ev'ry tear be dry:
let not fears your course impede,
great your strength if great your need
4 Let your drooping hearts be glad;
march in faith and honour clad;
march, nor think the journey long,
march to hope's eternal song.
5 Onward then, undaunted, move;
more than faithful God will prove;
though the raging waters flow,
Christian pilgrims, onward go.

in the light of his word,
what a glory he sheds on our way!

Trust and obey, for there's no other way
to be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey.

not a sorrow we share,
but our toil he doth richly repay;
not a grief or a loss,
not a frown or a cross,
but is blest if we trust and obey. [Refrain]

the delights of his love
until all on the altar we lay;
for the favor he shows,
for the joy he bestows,
are for them who will trust and obey. [Refrain]
4 Then in fellowship sweet
we will sit at his feet,
or we'll walk by his side in the way.
What he says we will do,
where he sends we will go,
never fear, only trust and obey. [Refrain] Used With Tune: TRUST AND OBEY

Be thou my guardian and my guide
Author: Isaac Williams, 1802-1865 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 34 hymnals Topics: The Pilgrim Community Lyrics: 1 Be thou my guardian and my guide,
and hear me when I call;
let not my slipp'ery footsteps slide,
and hold me lest I fall.
2 The world, the flesh, and Satan dwell
around the path I tread;
O save me from the snares of hell,
thou quick'ner of the dead.
3 And if I tempted am to sin,
and outward things are strong,
do thou, O Lord, keep watch within,
and save my soul from wrong.
4 Still let me ever watch and pray,
and feel that I am frail;
that if the tempter cross my way,
yet he may not prevail. Scripture: 1 John 2:16 Used With Tune: ABRIDGE
Be thou my guardian and my guide
