Sweet the moments, rich in blessing

Author: James Allen, 1734-1804; William Walter Shirley, 1724-1786 Hymnal: CPWI Hymnal #139 (2010) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Lyrics: 1 Sweet the moments, rich in blessing, which before the cross I spend, life, and health, and peace possessing from the sinner's dying friend. 2 Here I rest, for ever viewing mercy poured in streams of blood; precious drops, my soul bedewing, plead and claim my peace with God. 3 Truly blessèd is the station, low before his cross to lie, whilst I see divine compassion beaming in his languid eye. 4 Lord, in ceaseless contemplation fix my thankful heart on thee, till I taste thy full salvation, and thine unveiled glory see.

Through the night of doubt and sorrow

Author: Bernhardt Severin Ingemann, 1789-1862; Sabine Baring-Gould, 1832-1924 Hymnal: CPWI Hymnal #428 (2010) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Lyrics: 1 Through the night of doubt and sorrow onward goes the pilgrim band, singing songs of expectation, marching to the Promised Land. 2 Clear before us through the darkness gleams and burns the guiding light; pilgrim clasps the hand of pilgrim, stepping fearless through the night. 3 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: 4 one the object of our journey, one the faith which never tires, one the earnest looking forward, one the hope our God inspires: 5 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: 6 one the gladness of rejoicing on the far eternal shore, where the one almighty Father reigns in love for evermore. 7 Onward, therefore, pilgrim brothers, onward with the cross our aid; bear its shame, and fight its battle, till we rest beneath its shade. 8 Soon shall come the great awaking, soon the rending of the tomb; then the scattering of all shadows, and the end of toil and gloom.
