A pilgrim and a stranger

Author: Paul Gerhardt; Jane Borthwick Hymnal: CBWM1872 #453 (1890) Meter: 7.6 Lyrics: 1 A pilgrim and a stranger, I journey here below: Far distant is my country, The home to which I go. Here I must toil and travail, Oft weary and opprest, But there my God shall lead me To everlasting rest. 2 There still my thoughts are dwelling, 'Tis there I long to be; Come, Lord, and call thy servant To blessedness with Thee! Come, bid my toils be ended, Let all my wanderings cease; Call from the wayside lodging To the sweet home of peace! 3 There I shall dwell for ever, No more a stranger guest, With all thy blood-bought children. In everlasting rest: The pilgrim toils forgotten, The pilgrim conflicts o'er, All earthly griefs behind us, Eternal joys before!

Ah, this heart is void and chill

Author: Jane Borthwick; Charles John Spitta Hymnal: CBWM1872 #455 (1890) Meter: 7.6 Lyrics: 1 Ah, this heart is void and chill, 'Mid earth's noisy thronging; For the Father's mansions still Earnestly is longing. 2 O to be at home, and gain All for which we're sighing; From all earthly want and pain To be swiftly flying! 3 With this load of sin and care Then no longer bending, But with waiting angels there On our Lord attending! 4 Ah, how blessed, blessed they Who have rightly striven, And rejoin eternally With their Lord in heaven!

The voice that breathed o'er Eden

Author: John Keble Hymnal: CBWM1872 #505 (1890) Meter: 7.6 Lyrics: 1 The voice that breathed o'er Eden, That earliest wedding day, The primal marriage blessing, It hath not passed away. 2 Still in the pure espousal Of Christian man and maid, The Holy Three are with us, The threefold grace is said. 3 Be present, awful Father, To give away this bride, As Eve Thou gav'st to Adam Out of his own pierced side: 4 Be present, Son of Mary, To join their loving hands, As Thou didst bind two natures In Thine eternal bands: 5 Be present, Holiest Spirit, To bless them as they kneel, As Thou for Christ the Bridegroom, The heavenly spouse dost seal. 6 O spread Thy pure wing o'er them, Let no ill power find place, When onward to Thine altar Their hallowed path they trace. 7 To cast their crowns before Thee In perfect sacrifice, Till to the home of gladness With Christ's own Bride they rise.

When, His salvation bringing

Author: Joshua King Hymnal: CBWM1872 #527 (1890) Meter: 7.6 Lyrics: 1 When, His salvation bringing, To Zion Jesus came, The children all stood singing Hosanna to His Name. Nor did their zeal offend Him, But as He rode along, He let them still attend Him, And smiled to hear their song. 2 And since the Lord retaineth His love for children still, Though now as King He reigneth On Zion's heavenly hill; We'll flock around His banner Who sits upon the throne, And cry aloud "Hosanna To David's royal Son." 3 For should we fail proclaiming Our great Redeemer's praise, The stones, our silence shaming, Might well hosannas raise. But shall we only render The tribute of our words? No; while our hearts are tender, They, too, shall be the Lord's.

The precious seed of weeping

Author: Miss Winkworth; Charles John Spitta Hymnal: CBWM1872 #554 (1890) Meter: 7.6 Lyrics: 1 The precious seed of weeping To-day we sow once more, The form of one now sleeping, Whose pilgrimage is o'er. Ah, death but safely lands him Where we too would attain; Our Father's voice demands him, And death to him is gain. 2 He has what we are wanting, He sees what we believe; The sins on earth so haunting Have there no power to grieve; Safe in His Saviour's keeping Who sent him calm release; 'Tis only we are weeping, He dwells in perfect peace. 3 The crown of life he weareth. He bears the shining palm, The "Holy, holy," shareth, And joins the angels' psalm; But we poor pilgrims wander Still through this land of woe, Till we shall meet him yonder, And all his joy shall know.

Brief life is here our portion

Author: Bernard de Morlaix; John Mason Neale Hymnal: CBWM1872 #586 (1890) Meter: 7.6 Lyrics: 1 Brief life is here our portion; Brief sorrow, short-lived care; The Life that knows no ending, The tearless Life, is there. O happy retribution! Short toil, eternal rest; For mortals and for sinners A mansion with the blest! 2 That we should look, poor wanderers, To have our Home on high! The worms should seek for dwellings Beyond the starry sky! And now we fight the battle, But then shall wear the crown Of full and everlasting And passionless renown. 3 For thee, O dear, dear Country! Mine eyes their vigils keep; For very love, beholding Thy happy name, they weep: The mention of thy glory Is unction to the breast, And medicine in sickness, And love, and life, and rest. 4 Thou hast no shore, fair ocean! Thou hast no time, bright day! Dear fountain of refreshment To pilgrims far away! Upon the Rock of Ages They raise thy holy tower: Thine is the victor's laurel, And thine the golden dower. 5 There glory yet unheard of Shall shed abroad its ray, Resolving all enigmas, An endless Sabbath day. There God, our King and Portion, In fulness of His grace, Shall we behold for ever, And worship face to face!

Jerusalem the golden

Author: Bernard de Morlaix; John Mason Neale Hymnal: CBWM1872 #587 (1890) Meter: 7.6 Lyrics: 1 Jerusalem, the golden, With milk and honey blest, Beneath thy contemplation Sink heart and voice opprest: I know not, O I know not, What social joys are there! What radiancy of glory, What bliss beyond compare! 2 And when I fain would sing them My spirit fails and faints, And vainly would it image The assembly of the saints. They stand, those halls of Zion, Conjubilant with song, And bright with many an angel, And all the martyr throng: 3 There is the Throne of David; And there, from care released, The song of them that triumph, The shout of them that feast; And they who, with their Leader, Have conquered in the fight, For ever and for ever Are clad in robes of white!

Light of light, enlighten me

Author: Miss Winkworth; Benjamin Schmolk Hymnal: CBWM1872 #36 (1890) Meter: 7.8.7 Lyrics: 1 Light of light, enlighten me, Now anew the day is dawning; Sun of grace, the shadows flee, Brighten Thou my Sabbath morning. With Thy joyous sunshine blest, Happy is my day of rest! 2 Fount of all our joy and peace, To Thy living waters lead me; Thou from earth my soul release, And with grace and mercy feed me. Bless Thy Word, that it may prove Rich in fruits that Thou dost love. 3 Kindle Thou the sacrifice That upon my lips is lying; Clear the shadows from mine eyes, That, from every error flying, No strange fire may in me glow That Thine altar doth not know. 4 Let me with my heart to-day, Holy, holy, holy, singing, Rapt awhile from earth away, All my soul to Thee up-springing, Have a foretaste inly given How they worship Thee in heaven. 5 Rest in me and I in Thee, Build a paradise within me; O reveal Thyself to me, Blessed Love, who diedst to win me: Fed from Thine exhaustless urn, Pure and bright my lamp shall burn. 6 Hence all care, all vanity, For the day to God is holy; Come, thou glorious Majesty, Deign to fill this temple lowly; Naught to-day my soul shall move, Simply resting in Thy love.

Rise, O Salem, rise and shine

Author: Miss Winkworth; John Rist Hymnal: CBWM1872 #143 (1890) Meter: 7.8.7 Lyrics: 1 Rise, O Salem, rise and shine; Lo! the Gentiles hail thy waking; Herald of a morn divine, See the dayspring o'er us breaking, Telling God has called to mind Those who long in darkness pined. 2 Ah, how blindly did we stray, Ere this Sun our earth had brightened; Heaven we sought not, for no ray Had our wildered eyes enlightened: All our looks were earthward bent, All our strength on earth was spent. 3 But, the Dayspring from on high Hath arisen with beams unclouded, And we see before it fly All the heavy gloom that shrouded This sad earth, where sin and woe Seemed to reign o'er all below. 4 Thy appearing, Lord, shall fill All my thoughts in sorrow's hour; Thy appearing, Lord, shall still All my dread of death's dark power; Whether joy or tears be mine, Through them still Thy light shall shine. 5 Let me, when my course is run, Calmly leave a world of sadness For the place that needs no sun, For Thou art its light and gladness; For the mansions fair and bright, Where Thy saints are crowned with light.
