Pilgrim's Song

Hymnal: JW1878 #181 (1879) First Line: Children of the heavenly King Lyrics: 1 Children of the heavenly King, As we journey let us sing-- Sing our Savior's worthy praise, Glorious in his works and ways. We are trav'ling home to God, In the way our fathers trod; They are happy now, and we Soon their happiness shall see. 2 Fear not, brethren, joyful stand On the borders of our land; Jesus Christ, our Father's Son, Bid us undismayed go on. Lord, obediently we'll go, Gladly leaving all below; Only thou our leader be, And we still will follow thee. Languages: English

Call for Help

Hymnal: JW1878 #184 (1879) First Line: From Greenland's icy mountains Lyrics: 1 From Greenland's icy mountains, From India's coral strand, Where Afric's sunny fountains Roll down their golden sand; From many an ancient river, From many a palmy plain, They call us to deliver Their land from error's chain. 2 Shall we, whose souls are lighted With wisdom from on high; Shall we to men benighted The lamp of life deny? Salvation--O salvation! The joyful sound proclaim, Till earth's remotest nation Has learned Messiah's name. 3 Waft, waft, ye winds, his story, And you, ye waters, roll, Till, like a sea of glory, It spreads from pole to pole; Till o'er our ransomed nature The Lamb for sinners slain, Redeemer, King, Creator, In bliss return to reign.

Rock of Ages

Hymnal: JW1878 #185 (1879) First Line: Rock of Ages, cleft for me Lyrics: 1 Rock of Ages, cleft for me, Let me hide myself in thee; Let the water and the blood, From thy wounded side which flow'd, Be of sin the double cure; Save from wrath, and make me pure. 2 Could my tears forever flow-- Could my zeal no languor know-- These for sin could not atone; Thou must save and thou alone: In my hand no price I bring; Simply to the cross I cling. 3 While I draw this fleeting breath, When my eyes shall close in death, When I rise to worlds unknown, And behold thee on thy throne-- Rock of Ages, cleft for me, Let me hide myself in thee.

A Blessing Asked

Hymnal: JW1878 #190 (1879) First Line: Heavenly Father, grant thy blessing Lyrics: 1 Heavenly Father, grant thy blessing, While once more thy praise we sing; Sinful hearts and lives confessing, Nothing worthy can we bring; Yet thy book of love hath taught us, Thou wilt kindly bow thine ear; For the sake of him who bought us, We may call, and thou wilt hear. 2 What a boon to us is given, Thus to lift our voice on high! Well assured the ear of heaven Hears our wants, and will supply. Weak and sinful--oh, how often Must we look to God alone! For his grace our hearts to soften And sustain us as his own.
