Till all our wanderings cease,
And at our Father's loved abode
Our souls arrive in peace.

Author: Edward Hopper Hymnal: The Hymnbook #336 (1955) Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Topics: Pilgrimage of life; Life in Christ Pilgrimage and Guidance of Life Lyrics: 1 Jesus, Saviour, pilot me
Over life's tempestuous sea;
Unknown waves before me roll,
Hiding rock and treacherous shoal;
Chart and compass come 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.
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. Scripture: Psalm 107:29-30 Tune Title: PILOT

'Gainst all disaster,
Let him in constancy
Follow the Master.
There's no discouragement
Shall make him once relent
His first avowed intent
To be a pilgrim.
2 Whoso beset him round
With dismal stories
Do but themselves confound—
His strength the more is.
No foes shall stay his might;
Though he with giants fight,
He will make good his right
To be a pilgrim.
3 Since, Lord, Thou dost defend
Us with Thy Spirit,
We know we at the end
Shall life inherit.
Then fancies flee away!
I'll fear not what men say,
I'll labor night and day
To be a pilgrim.
Amen. Scripture: Joshua 1:9 Tune Title: ST. DUNSTAN'S

Lead Thou me on;
The night is dark, and I am far from home;
Lead Thou me on:
Keep Thou my feet; I do not ask to see
The distant scene— one step enough for me.
2 I was not ever thus, nor prayed that Thou
Shouldst lead me on;
I loved to choose and see my path; but now
Lead Thou me on.
I loved the garish day, and, spite of fears,
Pride ruled my will: remember not past years.
3 So long Thy power hath blest me, sure it still
Will lead me on,
O'er moor and fen, o'er crag and torrent, till
The night is gone;
And with the morn those angel faces smile,
Which I have loved long since, and lost awhile.
Amen. Scripture: 2 Samuel 22:29 Tune Title: LUX BENIGNA

Nor ever murmur nor repine;
Content, whatever lot I see,
Since 'tis my God that leadeth me. [Refrain]

When, by Thy grace, the victory's won,
E'en death's cold wave I will not flee,
Since God through Jordan leadeth me. [Refrain]

Pleasure that can never cloy;
Thus provided, pardoned, guided,
Nothing can our peace destroy.

Builds on the rock that nought can move.
2 Only be still, and wait His leisure
In cheerful hope, with heart content
To take whate'er thy Father's pleasure
And all-discerning love hath sent;
Nor doubt our inmost wants are known
To Him who chose us for His own.
3 Sing, pray, and swerve not from His ways,
But do thine own part faithfully;
Trust His rich promises of grace,
So shall they be fulfilled in thee;
God never yet forsook at need
The soul that trusted Him indeed.

For gladness breaks like morning
Where'er Thy face appears;
Thy cross is lifted o'er us;
We journey in its light:
The crown awaits the conquest;
Lead on, O God of might.
Amen. Scripture: Psalm 31:3 Tune Title: LANCASHIRE

Triumphant songs to raise;
Till heaven on high rejoices,
And earth is filled with praise:
Ten thousand hearts are bounding
With holy hopes and free;
The gospel trump is sounding,
The trump of jubilee.

The cross hath been victorious,
And shall be o'er its foes:
Faith is our battle token;
Our Leader all controls;
Our trophies, fetters broken;
Our captives, ransomed souls.
3 Not unto us, Lord Jesus:
To Thee all praise be due,
Whose blood-bought mercy frees us,
Has freed our brethren too.
Not unto us: in glory
The angels catch the strain,
And cast their crowns before Thee
Exultingly again.
4 Great God of our salvation,
Thy presence we adore;
Praise, glory, adoration
Be Thine forevermore;
Still on in conflict pressing
On Thee Thy people call,
Thee King of Kings confessing,
Thee crowning Lord of all.

As we journey, sweetly sing;
Sing our Saviour's worthy praise,
Glorious in His works and ways.
2 We are traveling home to God
In the way the fathers trod;
They are happy now, and we
Soon their happiness shall see.
3 Fear not, brethren; joyful stand
On the borders of your land;
Jesus Christ, your Father's Son,
Bids you undismayed go on.
4 Lord, obediently we go,
Gladly leaving all below;
Only Thou our Leader be,
And we still will follow Thee.

Author: William Henry Burleigh Hymnal: The Hymnbook #341 (1955) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Topics: Pilgrimage of life; Life in Christ Pilgrimage and Guidance of Life Lyrics: 1 Lead us, O Father, in the paths of peace:
Without Thy guiding hand we go astray,
And doubts appall, and sorrows still increase;
Lead us through Christ, the true and living Way.
2 Lead us, O Father, in the paths of truth:
Unhelped by Thee, in error's maze we grope,
While passion stains and folly dims our youth,
And age comes on uncheered by faith or hope.
3 Lead us, O Father, in the paths of right:
Blindly we stumble when we walk alone,
Involved in shadows of a darkening night;
Only with Thee we journey safely on.
4 Lead us, O Father, to Thy heavenly rest,
However rough and steep the pathway be,
Through joy or sorrow, as Thou deemest best,
Until our lives are perfected in Thee.
Amen. Scripture: Proverbs 4:18 Tune Title: LANGRAN
Lead Us, O Father, in the Paths of Peace
Lead us with thy gentle sway
Author: Bowring Hymnal: Hymns for Christian Devotion #516 (1871) Topics: The Pilgrimage of Life Languages: English
Lead us with thy gentle sway
Our country is Immanuel's ground
Author: Barbauld Hymnal: Hymns for Christian Devotion #523 (1871) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Pilgrimage of Life Languages: English
Our country is Immanuel's ground
A race on earth, a race we run
Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: Sacred Poems and Hymns #147 (1854) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Pilgrimage of life Lyrics:
A race on earth, a race we run,
And bold a prize in view,
More bright than if we chased the sun
Through heaven's eternal blue.
151
Changes we prove, and vanish soon,--
Changes from youth to age,--
Transient as those that shape the moon
On her brief pilgrimage.
Like constellations on their way,
That meet the morning light,
We travel up to higher day,
We pass through deeper night.
Their tasks the heavenly hosts fulfil,
Ere long to shine their last;
We, if we do our Father's will,
Shall shine when they are past.
Knit like the social stars in love,
Fair as the moon, and clear
As yonder sun, enthroned above,
Christians through life appear,
Languages: English
A race on earth, a race we run
Thine eye, Lord God, alone can see
Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: Sacred Poems and Hymns #169 (1854) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Pilgrimage of life Lyrics:
Thine eye, Lord God, alone can see
The soul through every secret part;
The mystery of iniquity
Hid in the hollow of man's heart.
Myself unto myself reveal,
Light let me see in Thy pure light;
The eye of unbelief unseal,
Change doubt to faith, and faith to sight:
By inward vision to discern
The misery of my fall'n estate,
And from that sad disclosure learn
Life's hardest lesson, ere too late:--
Life's hardest lesson, but its best!
The source of all my ills to trace
Through the dark windings of my breast,
Or in the world's deceitful face.
How long, how far on pilgrimage
To Zion have I feign'd to go,
Yet went astray at every stage,
Snared or smit down by every foe!
Now, a poor way-worn traveller,
With slower speed, and failing strength
At every step I fear to err,
And be a cast-away at length.
172
Thou Light, that lightenest every one
Who toils through this bewildering path,
Shine on my soul, that I may shun
The broad, dark, downward road to wrath.
So let that narrow path be mine,
Which, level as the morning ray,
Like it, shall upward tend, and shine,
From earth's faint dawn to Heaven's full day.
