Consolation

Author: C. A. Tindley, D.D. Appears in 4 hymnals First Line: Ye pilgrims through this vale of tears Lyrics: 1. Ye pilgrims through this vale of tears, Come, let us cheer each other, Amid the danger's doubts and fear, Let each console his brother. Our way is often dark and hard, Temptations all around us, Unless we pray with one accord They surely will confound us. 2. We see the pit where others lie, All smitten by the Tempter, We too shall come to grief and die, If we to him surrender. We'll walk the blood-be-sprinkled way, The road that leads to glory, And as we go we'll sing and pray, And tell redemption's story. 3. While some are shouting all the time, Some other hearts are bleeding, They want the heav'nly peace to find For which their souls are pleading. Come, let us lead them through the gate, The way of sins confessing, The word of God will put them straight and they will find the blessing. 4. There may be some that's growing tired, Because the way is tedious, Let's take the Book that was inspir'd And tell them more 'bout Jesus. Tell them of Him who bled and died! The crucifixion story. Who rendered justice satisfied And then went home to glory. 5. We soon shall reach the shining shore, And see our dear Redeemer, Where we shall weep and sign no more, But praise His name forever. Our time is short and crosses great And often hard to carry, Who rendered justice satisfied And then went home to glory. Used With Tune: [Ye pilgrims through this vail of tears]

From Youth to Old Age

Author: C. Albert Tindley Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: My life, as a year, had a bright spring time Lyrics: 1. My life, as a year, had a bright spring time, With summer and autumn to come, And afterward the winter with its dim sunshine, When springtime and summer had gone, The spring of my life was the joyful days, When care had not entered my breast, When the fields and the woods were the choice of my ways, And my life was all happiness. 2. It was when I was young and the world to me was new, The stings and the thorns were not known, When wiser heads guided in all I had to do, My heaven was parents and home. The birds gave me music the flow'rs gave me joy, And the world was Eden to me, The skies were my pictures, the earth was my toy, I was happy as mortal could be. 3. Now I stand poorly clad in the cold winter blast, 'Neath the bare leafless limbs of the tree, All the gay things are gone, and the summer is past, There's no comfort in this world for me. I think of the home where my childhood was spent, Where the fire on the hearth used to glow, And of my mother dear who was aged and bent, She has gone to the grave long ago. 4. My ears heavy grow and my eyesight has failed, And I am not strong as before, My body once robust is now growing frail, My journey on earth is most o'er. It won't be very long till the Lord calls me home, I shall meet all my kindred again, Where death never comes and I no more shall roam, There all of my troubles shall end. Used With Tune: [My life, as a year, had a bright springtime]
