Through all the changing scenes of life

Appears in 476 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Through all the changing scenes of life, In trouble and in joy, The praises of my God shall still My heart and tongue employ. 2 Of His deliverance I will boast, Till all that are distressed From my example comfort take, And charm their griefs to rest. 3 O magnify the Lord with me, With me exalt His Name; When in distress to Him I called, He to my rescue came. 4 The hosts of God encamp around The dwellings of the just; Deliverance He affords to all Who on His succor trust. 5 O make but trial of His love; Experience will decide. How blest are they, and only they, Who in His truth confide. 6 Fear Him, ye saints; and you will then Have nothing else to fear: Make you His service your delight, He'll make your wants His care. Amen. Text Sources: Tate and Brady's New Version, 1696, 1698

Through the day thy love has spared us

Author: Rev. Thomas Kelly Appears in 254 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Through the day Thy love has spared us, Now we lay us down to rest; Through the silent watches guard us; Let no foe our peace molest: Jesus, Thou our Guardian be; Sweet it is to trust in Thee. 2. Pilgrims here on earth, and strangers, Dwelling in the midst of foes, Us and ours preserve from dangers; In Thine arms may we repose; And, when life's brief day is past, Rest with Thee in heaven at last. 3. Triune God, let all adore Thee, Saints on earth, and saints in heaven; Every creature bow before Thee, Who hast all their being given; Who dost seek and save the lost; Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Amen.

Through the night of doubt and sorrow

Author: Rev. Sabine Baring-Gould; Bernhardt S. Ingemann Appears in 319 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Through the night of doubt and sorrow Onward goes the pilgrim band, Singing songs of expectation, Marching to the promised land; Clear before us through the darkness Gleams and burns the guiding light: Brother clasps the hand of brother, Stepping fearless through the night. 2 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; One the object of our journey, One the faith which never tires, One the earnest looking forward, One the hope our God inspires; 3 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; One the gladness of rejoicing On the far eternal shore, Where the One Almighty Father Reigns in love for evermore. 4 Onward, therefore, pilgrim brothers, Onward, with the cross our aid; Bear its shame, and fight its battle, Till we rest beneath its shade; 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. Amen.

When shall all hatred cease, As in the realms above? 3 When comes the promised time That war shall be no more, And lust, oppression, crime, Shall flee Thy face before? 4 We pray Thee, Lord, arise, And come in Thy great might; Revive our longing eyes, Which languish for Thy sight. 5 O'er heathen lands afar Thick darkness broodeth yet: Arise, O Morning Star, Arise, and never set. Amen.

Thy life was given for me

Author: Frances R.

Amen. Text Sources: Church Hymns, 1871, recast in

To our Redeemer's glorious Name

Author: Anne Steele Appears in 359 hymnals Lyrics: 1 To our Redeemer's glorious Name Awake the sacred song: O may His love - immortal flame - Tune every heart and tongue. 2 His love, what mortal thought can reach?
