Bright Was the Guiding Star That Led

Author: Harriet Auber Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 154 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Bright was the guiding star that led, With mild, benignant ray, The Gentiles to the lowly shed, Where the Redeemer lay. 2. But lo! a brighter, clearer, light Now points to His abode; It shines, through sin and sorrow’s night, To guide us to our God. 3. Oh! haste to follow where it leads The gracious call obey; Be rugged wilds, or flowery meads, The Christian’s destined way. 4. Oh! gladly tread the narrow path, While light and grace are given; Who meekly follow Christ on earth Shall reign with Him in Heaven. Used With Tune: ST. ETHELDREDA Text Sources: Spirit of the Psalms, 1829

Author: Norman MacLeod Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 180 hymnals Refrain First Line: Trust in God, trust in God Lyrics: 1. Courage, brother, do not stumble, Though thy path be dark as night; There’s a star to guide the humble: Trust in God and do the right. Let the road be rough and dreary, And its end far out of sight, Foot it bravely; strong or weary, Refrain: Trust in God, trust in God, Trust in God and do the right. 2. Perish policy and cunning, Perish all that fears the light! Whether losing, whether winning, Trust in God and do the right, Trust no party, sect or faction; Trust no leaders in the fight; Put in every word or action, [Refrain] 3. Some will hate thee, some will love thee, Some will flatter, some will slight; Cease from man, and look above thee: Trust in God and do the right. Simple rule, and safest guiding, Inward peace and inward might, Star upon our path abiding, [Refrain] Alternate form of last verse: 4. Trust no lovely forms of passion— Fiends may look like angels bright; Trust no custom, school or fashion: Trust in God, and do the right. Simple rule, and safest guiding, Inward peace, and inward might, Star upon our path abiding, [Refrain] Used With Tune: COURAGE Text Sources: First appeared as a poem in The Edinburgh Christian Magazine

Thus Far the Lord Hath Led Me On

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 656 hymnals Lyrics: Thus far the Lord hath led me on, Thus far His power prolongs my days, And every evening shall make known Some fresh memorial of His grace. Much of my time has run to waste, And I, perhaps, am near my home; But He forgives my follies past, 1. And gives me strength for days to come. I lay my body down to sleep; Peace is the pillow for my head; While well appointed angels keep Their watchful stations round my bed. 2. In vain the sons of earth or hell Tell me a thousand frightful things My God in safety makes me dwell Beneath the shadow of His wings. 3. Faith in His name forbids my fear; O may Thy presence ne’er depart! And in the morning make me hear The love and kindness of Thy heart. 4. Thus, when the night of death shall come, My flesh shall rest beneath the ground, And wait Thy voice to rouse my tomb, With sweet salvation in the sound.
