Watchman, tell us of the night
Author: John Bowring, 1792 - 1872 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #525 (1958) Lyrics: 1 Watchman, tell us of the night,
What its signs of promise are.
Traveler, o'er yon mountain's height,
See that glory-beaming star.
Watchman, does its beauteous ray
Aught of joy or hope foretell?
Traveler, yes; it brings the day,
Promised day of Israel.
2 Watchman, tell us of the night;
Higher yet that star ascends.
Traveler, blessedness and light,
Peace and truth its course portends.
Watchman, will its beams alone
Gild the spot that gave them birth?
Traveler, ages are its own;
See, it bursts o'er all the earth.
3 Watchman, tell us of the night,
For the morning seems to dawn.
Traveler, darkness takes its flight,
Doubt and terror are withdrawn.
Watchman, let thy wanderings cease;
Hie thee to thy quiet home.
Traveler, lo! the Prince of Peace,
Lo! the Son of God is come!
Amen. Topics: The Church Year Advent; The Church Year Epiphany; The Life In Christ Pilgrimage Languages: English Tune Title: WATCHMAN
Watchman, tell us of the night
The Lord my Shepherd is, I shall be well supplied
Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #526 (1958) Lyrics: 1 The Lord my Shepherd is,
I shall be well supplied;
Since he is mine and I am his,
What can I want beside?
2 He leads me to the place
Where heavenly pasture grows,
Where living waters gently pass,
And full salvation flows.
3 If e’er I go astray,
He doth my soul reclaim,
And guides me in his own right way,
For his most holy Name. A-men.
4 While he affords his aid,
I cannot yield to fear;
Though I should walk through death’s dark shade,
My Shepherd’s with me there.
5 In sight of all my foes
Thou dost a table spread;
My cup with blessing overflows,
And joy exalts my head.
6 The bounties of thy love
Shall crown my following days;
Nor from thy house will I remove,
Nor cease to speak thy praise.
Amen. Topics: Holy Communion; The Life In Christ Comfort and Rest; The Life In Christ Pilgrimage Languages: English Tune Title: THATCHER
The Lord my Shepherd is, I shall be well supplied
Brief life is here our portion
Author: John Mason Neale, 1818 - 66; Bernard of Cluny, XII cent. Hymnal: SBHC1958 #527 (1958) Lyrics: 1 Brief life is here our portion,
Brief sorrow, short-lived care;
The life that knows no ending,
The tearless life, is there.
2 O happy retribution!
Short toil, eternal rest;
For mortals and for sinners
A mansion with the blest! A-men.
3 There grief is turned to pleasure,
Such pleasure as below
No human voice can utter,
No human heart can know.
4 And now we fight the battle,
But then shall wear the crown
Of full and everlasting
And passionless renown.
5 And now we watch and struggle,
And now we live in hope,
And Sion, in her anguish,
With Babylon must cope;
6 But he whom now we trust in
Shall then be seen and known,
And they that know and see him
Shall have him for their own.
7 The morning shall awaken,
The shadows shall decay,
And each true-hearted servant
Shall shine as doth the day.
8 There, God our King and portion,
In fullness of his grace,
We then shall see for ever,
And worship face to face.
9 O sweet and blessèd country,
The home of God's elect;
O sweet and blessèd country,
That eager hearts expect!
10 Jesus, in mercy bring us
To that dear land of rest,
Who art, with God the Father
And Spirit, ever blest.
Amen. Topics: The Church Year Lent; The Church Year Saints' Days - Minor Festivals; The Life In Christ Contemplation; The Life In Christ Life Everlasting; The Life In Christ Pilgrimage Languages: English Tune Title: ST. ALPHEGE

Saviour, teach me, day by day
Author: Jane Eliza Leeson, 1807 - 82 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #528 (1958) Lyrics: 1 Saviour, teach me, day by day,
Love's sweet lesson to obey;
Sweeter lesson cannot be,
Loving him who first loved me.
2 With a child's glad heart of love
At thy bidding may I move,
Prompt to serve and follow thee,
Loving him who first loved me.
3 Teach me thus thy steps to trace,
Strong to follow in thy grace,
Learning how to love from thee,
Loving him who first loved me. A-men.
4 Love in loving finds employ,
In obedience all her joy;
Ever new that joy will be,
Loving him who first loved me.
5 Thus may I rejoice to show
That I feel the love I owe;
Singing, till thy face I see,
Of his love who first loved me.
Amen. Topics: Holy Baptism; The Life In Christ Pilgrimage Languages: English Tune Title: FERRIER
Saviour, teach me, day by day
Through the night of doubt and sorrow
Author: Sabine Baring-Gould, 1834 - 1924; Bernhardt Severin Ingemann, 1789 - 1862 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #529a (1958) Lyrics: 1 Through the night of doubt and sorrow
Onward goes the pilgrim band,
Singing songs of expectation,
Marching to the promised land.
Clear before us through the darkness
Gleams and burns the guiding light;
Brother clasps the hand of brother,
Stepping fearless through the night.
2 One the light of God’s own presence
O’er his ransomed people shed,
Chasing far the gloom and terror,
Brightening all the path we tread:
One the object of our journey,
One the faith which never tires,
One the earnest looking forward,
One the hope our God inspires;
3 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:
One the gladness of rejoicing
On the far eternal shore,
Where the one Almighty Father
Reigns in love for evermore.
4 Onward, therefore, pilgrim brothers,
Onward with the Cross our aid!
Bear its shame and fight its battle,
Till we rest beneath its shade;
Soon shall come the great awakening,
Soon the rending of the tomb;
Then the scattering of all shadows,
And the end of toil and gloom. Topics: The Church Year Septuagesima to Lent; The Church The People of God; The Life In Christ Conflict and Victory; The Life In Christ Pilgrimage Languages: English Tune Title: ST. ASAPH

The King of love my shepherd is
Author: Henry Williams Baker, 1821 - 77 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #530a (1958) Lyrics: 1 The King of love my shepherd is,
Whose goodness faileth never;
I nothing lack if I am his,
And he is mine forever.

My ransomed soul he leadeth,
And where the verdant pastures grow
With food celestial feedeth.

But yet in love he sought me,
And on his shoulder gently laid,
And home, rejoicing, brought me. A-men.
4 In death’s dark vale I fear no ill
With thee, dear Lord, beside me,
Thy rod and staff my comfort still,
Thy Cross before to guide me.
5 Thou spread'st a table in my sight;
Thy unction grace bestoweth;
And O what transport of delight
From thy pure chalice floweth!
6 And so through all the length of days
Thy goodness faileth never;
Good Shepherd, may I sing thy praise
Within thy house for ever.

Jesus, Saviour, pilot me
Author: Edward Hopper, 1818 - 88 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #531 (1958) Lyrics: 1 Jesus, Saviour, pilot me
Over life's tempestuous sea;
Unknown waves before me roll,
Hiding rock and treacherous shoal;
Chart and compass came from thee,
Jesus, Saviour, pilot me.
2 As a mother stills her child,
Thou canst hush the ocean wild;
Boisterous waves obey thy will
When thou sayest to them, 'Be still.'
Wondrous Sovereign of the sea,
Jesus, Saviour, pilot me. A-men.
3 When at last I near the shore,
And the fearful breakers roar
'Twixt me and the peaceful rest,
Then, while leaning on thy breast,
May I hear thee say to me,
'Fear not, I will pilot thee.'
Amen. Topics: Travellers; The Life In Christ Conflict and Victory; The Life In Christ Pilgrimage Languages: English Tune Title: PILOT

Till our rest is won;
And, although the way be cheerless,
We will follow, calm and fearless;
Guide us by thy hand
To our fatherland.
2 If the way be drear,
If the foe be near,
Let not faithless fears o'ertake us,
Let not faith and hope forsake us;
For through many a foe
To our home we go. A-men.
3 When we seek relief
From a long-felt grief,
When temptations come alluring
Make us patient and enduring;
Show us that bright shore
Where we weep no more.
4 Jesus, still lead on,
Till our rest be won;
Heavenly Leader, still direct us,
Still support, console, protect us,
Till we safely stand
In our fatherland!
Amen. Topics: The Church Year Holy Week; Travellers; The Life In Christ Comfort and Rest; The Life In Christ Life Everlasting; The Life In Christ Pilgrimage Languages: English Tune Title: SEELENBRAUTIGAM
