DEERHURST 8. 7. 8. 7. D. James Langran, 1863 Through the night of doubt and sor roW On ward goes the pilgrim band, Broth-er clasps the hand of broth-er, Step-ping fear- less through the night. A men. 1 THRO' the night of doubt and sorrow Singing songs of expectation, 2 One the light of God's own presence One the faith which never tires, One the hope our God inspires; 3 One the strain that lips of thousands One the march in God begun; On the far eternal shore, 4 Onward, therefore, pilgrim brothers, Till we rest beneath its shade! And the end of toil and gloom. Bernhardt S. Ingemann, 1825, tr. Sabine Baring-Gould, 1867, 1875 MOUNT ZION Six 7s. Arthur Sullivan, 1867 When this passing world is done, When has sunk yon glaring sun, "FOR Amen so let it be! Life from the dead is in that word, 'Tis immortality. Here in the body pent, Absent from Him I roam, Yet nightly pitch my moving tent A day's march nearer home. 2 My Father's house on high, Home of my soul, how near, To reach the land I love, 3 I hear at morn and even, At noon and midnight hour, Then, then I feel that He, 4 "For ever with the Lord!” The promise of that faithful word, Be Thou at my right hand, 5 So when my latest breath Shall rend the veil in twain, Knowing as I am known, How shall I love that word, And oft repeat before the throne, "For ever with the Lord!" James Montgomery, 1835 |
