A Pilgrim And A Stranger
Author: Jane Borthwick; Paul Gerhardt Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 72 hymnals 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 oppressed,
But there my God shall lead me
To everlasting rest.
2 There still my tho'ts 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 wand'rings cease;
Call from the wayside lodging
To Thy sweet home of peace!
3 There I shall dwell forever,
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! Topics: The Christian Life Heaven Used With Tune: MEIROMYDD
A Pilgrim And A Stranger
How Lost Was My Condition
Author: John Newton Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 326 hymnals Lyrics: 1 How lost was my condition,
Till Jesus made me whole!
There is but one physician
Can cure a sin-sick soul!
Next door to death He found me,
And snatched me from the grave;
To tell to all around me,
His wondrous power to save.
2 The worst of all diseases
Is light, compared with sin;
On every part it seizes,
But rages most within:
’Tis palsy, plague, and fever,
And madness—all combined;
And none but a believer,
The least relief can find.
3 From men great skill professing,
I thought a cure to gain;
But this proved more distressing,
And added to my pain:
Some said that nothing ailed me,
Some gave me up for lost;
Thus every refuge failed me,
And all my hopes were crossed.
4 At length this great physician,
How matchless is His grace!
Accepted my petition,
And undertook my case;
First gave me sight to view Him,
For sin my eyes had sealed;
Then bid me look unto Him;
I looked, and I was healed.
5 A dying, risen Jesus,
Seen by the eye of faith,
From every danger frees us,
And saves the soul from death:
Come then to this physician,
His help He’ll freely give;
He makes no hard condition,
’Tis only—look, and live. Used With Tune: MUNICH

We come as guests invited
Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith, 1926- Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 16 hymnals Lyrics: 1 We come as guests invited
when Jesus bids us dine,
his friends on earth united
to share the bread and wine;
the bread of life is broken,
the wine is freely poured
for us, in solemn token
of Christ our dying Lord.
2 We eat and drink, receiving
from Christ the grace we need,
and in our hearts believing
on him by faith we feed;
with wonder and thanksgiving
for love that knows no end,
we find in Jesus living
our ever-present friend.
3 One bread is ours for sharing,
one single fruitful vine,
our fellowship declaring
renewed in bread and wine:
renewed, sustained and given
by token, sign and word,
the pledge and seal of heaven,
the love of Christ our Lord. Topics: Sacraments and Other Occasions Holy Communion Used With Tune: PASSION CHORALE

VESPER HYMN
Author: Charles Venn Pilcher; Páll Jónsson Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 5 hymnals First Line: On the wings of light declining Lyrics:
On the wings of light declining
Sinks the westering sun to sleep:
Lord, alike in dark or shining,
Thy pure eyes their vigil keep.
Let Thy light, which faileth never,
Round me shine, though day depart;
And, though night prevaileth, ever
Flood the chambers of my heart.

Come, let us Sing of Jesus
Author: George Washington Bethune, 1805-1862 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 124 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Come, let us sing of Jesus,
While hearts and accents blend;
Come, let us sing of Jesus,
The sinner’s only Friend;
His holy soul rejoices
Amid the choirs above,
To hear our youthful voices
Exulting in His love.
2 We love to sing of Jesus,
Who wept our path along:
We love to sing of Jesus,
The tempted and the strong;
None who besought His healing,
He passed unheeded by:
And still retains His feeling
For us above the sky.
3 We love to sing of Jesus,
Who died our souls to save;
We love to sing of Jesus,
Triumphant o’er the grave;
And in our hour of danger,
We’ll trust His love alone,
Who once slept in a manger,
And now sits on a throne.
4 Then let us sing of Jesus,
While yet on earth we stay,
And hope to sing of Jesus,
Throughout eternal day.
For those who here confess Him
He will in heaven confess,
And faithful hearts that bless Him,
He will forever bless.
Amen. Topics: Worship Used With Tune: LANCASHIRE

Another Year Is Dawning
Author: Frances R. Havergal Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 179 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Another year is dawning,
Dear Father, let it be
In working or in waiting
Another year with Thee;
Another year of progress,
Another year of praise,
Another year of proving
Thy presence all the days;
2 Another year of mercies,
Of faithfulness and grace,
Another year of gladness
Before Thy shining face;
Another year of leaning
Upon Thy loving breast,
Another year of trusting,
Of quiet, happy rest.
3 Another year of service,
Of witness for Thy love,
Another year of training
For holier work above.
Another year is dawning,
Dear Father, let it be
On earth, or else in heaven,
Another year for Thee.
Amen. Scripture: Philippians 3:13-16 Used With Tune: AURELIA
