pilgrim through this barren land;
I am weak, but thou art mighty,
hold me with thy pow'rful hand:
Bread of Heaven, Bread of Heaven,
feed me till I want no more,
feed me till I want no more.

lead me all my journey through:

be thou still my strength and shield,
be thou still my strength and shield.

bid my anxious fears subside;

I will ever give to thee. Scripture: Exodus 13:21 Used With Tune: CWM RHONDDA

where bright angel feet have trod,
with its crystal tide for ever
flowing from the throne of God?

Yes, we’ll gather at the river,
the beautiful, the beautiful river,
gather with the saints at the river
that flows by the throne of God.

washing up its silver spray,
we will walk and worship ever,
all the happy golden day. [Refrain]

lay we ev'ry burden down;
grace our spirits will deliver
and provide a robe and crown. [Refrain]

mirror of the Savior's face,
saints, whom death will never sever,
lift their songs of saving grace. [Refrain]

soon our pilgrimage will cease;
soon our happy hearts will quiver
with the melody of peace. [Refrain] Scripture: Revelation 4, 5 Used With Tune: HANSON PLACE

AMAZING GRACE
My gracious Lord
Author: Philip Doddridge, 1702-1751 Hymnal: Complete Anglican Hymns Old and New #459 (2000) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The Journey of Life First Line: My gracious Lord, I own thy right Lyrics: 1 My gracious Lord, I own thy right
to ev'ry service I can pay;
and call it my supreme delight
to hear thy dictates and obey.
2 What is my being but for thee,
its sure support, its noblest end,
thy ever-smiling face to see
and serve the cause of such a friend?
3 I would not breathe for worldly joy,
or to increase my worldly good,
nor future days or pow'rs employ
to spread a sounding name abroad;
4 But to my Saviour I would live,
to him who for my ransom died;
nor could untainted Eden give
such bliss as blossoms at his side.
5 His work my later tears shall bless,
when youthful vigour is no more,
and my last hour of life confess
his love hath animating pow'r. Languages: English Tune Title: WARRINGTON

Ralph Vaughan Williams
1872 - 1958 Person Name: Ralph Vaughan Williams, 1872-1958 Topics: The Journey of Life Adapter of "KINGSFOLD" in Complete Anglican Hymns Old and New Through his composing, conducting, collecting, editing, and teaching, Ralph Vaughan Williams (b. Down Ampney, Gloucestershire, England, October 12, 1872; d. Westminster, London, England, August 26, 1958) became the chief figure in the realm of English music and church music in the first half of the twentieth century. His education included instruction at the Royal College of Music in London and Trinity College, Cambridge, as well as additional studies in Berlin and Paris. During World War I he served in the army medical corps in France. Vaughan Williams taught music at the Royal College of Music (1920-1940), conducted the Bach Choir in London (1920-1927), and directed the Leith Hill Music Festival in Dorking (1905-1953). A major influence in his life was the English folk song. A knowledgeable collector of folk songs, he was also a member of the Folksong Society and a supporter of the English Folk Dance Society. Vaughan Williams wrote various articles and books, including National Music (1935), and composed numerous arrangements of folk songs; many of his compositions show the impact of folk rhythms and melodic modes. His original compositions cover nearly all musical genres, from orchestral symphonies and concertos to choral works, from songs to operas, and from chamber music to music for films. Vaughan Williams's church music includes anthems; choral-orchestral works, such as Magnificat (1932), Dona Nobis Pacem (1936), and Hodie (1953); and hymn tune settings for organ. But most important to the history of hymnody, he was music editor of the most influential British hymnal at the beginning of the twentieth century, The English Hymnal (1906), and coeditor (with Martin Shaw) of Songs of Praise (1925, 1931) and the Oxford Book of Carols (1928).
