The Little Pilgrims

Hymnal: SC1862 #56 (1862) First Line: The way to heaven is narrow Lyrics: 1 The way to heaven is narrow, And its blessed entrance strait; But how safe the little pilgrims Who get within the gate! 2 The sunbeams of the morning Make the narrow path so fair; And these early little pilgrims Find dewy blessings there. 3 They pass o’er rugged mountains, But they climb them with a song; For these early little pilgrims Have sandals new and strong. 4 They do not greatly tremble When the shadows night foretell; For these early little pilgrims Have tried the path so well. 5 They know it leads to heaven, With its bright and open gates, Where for happy little pilgrims A Saviour’s welcome waits. Languages: English Tune Title: [The way to heaven is narrow]

Jesus, Shepherd of the Sheep

Author: Mrs. H. E. Brown Hymnal: SC1862 #57 (1862) Lyrics: 1 Jesus, Shepherd of the sheep, Watch around his flock doth keep. Lest the roaming beasts of prey Tear his little lambs away. 2 Jesus, Shepherd of the sheep, Pastures fresh and green doth keep, Where the streams of life do flow, There his lambs may eat and grow. 3 Jesus, Shepherd of the sheep, Under-shepherds oft doth keep, Parents, teachers, friends in need, Who the little lambs may feed. 4 Jesus, Shepherd of the sheep, Every lamb will surely keep, No rude enemy shall dare Pluck them from his loving care. 5 Jesus, Shepherd of the sheep, Still a better fold doth keep-- Up, where heavenly pastures spring, Every little lamb he'll bring. Tune Title: [Jesus, Shepherd of the sheep]

I'm Going to Be a Soldier

Author: Mrs. H. E. Brown Hymnal: SC1862 #60 (1862) Refrain First Line: Life's battle, O, life's battle Lyrics: 1 I'm going to be a Soldier, Gird on my armor bright, And with my little comrades, I'll take the field and fight; I'll never mind the hardships Nor dangers of the way; I'll watch and toil and wrestle By night as well as day. Chorus: Life's battle, O life's battle, 'Tis fought with self and sin; But Jesus is my Captain, And I am sure to win. 2 The foes that will assail me, Are subtle, fierce and strong; The war that they are waging Will deadly be and long; But I've a well-tried helmet, A sword and trusty shield, To quench the fiery arrows That Satan's hand may wield. [Chorus] 3 I know I'm small and feeble, But Jesus is my head; He's wise and strong and able, To triumph he will lead; And when beneath his banner I've gained the victor's crown, With one long, loud hosanna, I'll lay my armor down. [Chorus] Tune Title: [I'm going to be a soldier]

The Land of the Blest

Hymnal: SC1862 #61 (1862) First Line: Hast thou heard of the land where no sorrow or sadness Lyrics: 1 Hast thou heard of the land where no sorrow or sadness Can dim, for a moment, the light of the skies? Hast thou heard of the land where the deep tones of gladness Ne'er melt into tears, ne'er are echoed in sighs, Where music, sweet music, for ever is flowing, And flow'rs ever blooming waft fragrance around; Where the weary repose, all their troubles at rest, 'Tis the Canaan above, 'tis the land of the blest. 2 No eye e'er hath seen its bright splendors, excelling The visions of fancy, the dreams of the soul, No thought e'er can soar where that anthem is swelling, Nor ear ever hear its deep melodies roll, And death, with the touch of his cold, icy finger, No more can alarm, for his triumphs are o'er; Where the weary repose, all their troubles at rest, 'Tis the Canaan above, 'tis the land of the blest. Tune Title: [Hast thou heard of the land where no sorrow or sadness]

The Morning Star

Author: Rev. A. H. Clapp Hymnal: SC1862 #62 (1862) First Line: Soldier of Christ, be not cast down! Lyrics: 1 Soldier of Christ, be not cast down! Why drops thy nerveless hand? Have Faith, and Hope, and Courage gone-- Fear 'st thou the alien band? Take heart! 'twill not be always night, Thro' riven clouds afar Gleams down in rays of diamond light, The Bright and Morning Star, The Bright and Morning Star. 2 Seek not the ground in weak despair, Nor break 'neath suff'ring's rod; The fight thou wagest Is the care Of the all-loving God. Joy comes thro' sorrow, death brings life, Peace rides on battle's car; And beams, on darkest night of strife, The Bright and Morning Star, The Bright and Morning Star. 3 Press on the foe! God rules the years, Wrong shall not triumph long; Expectant faith already hears Truths glad, victorious song. The nations soon shall own their King, The wise from near and far, Once more to Him their off'rings bring, The Bright and Morning Star, The Bright and Morning Star. 4 Then fear not, Christian, for the right, Nor falter 'mid the fray; For Truth is victor--Error's night Flies from the coming day. Thine eye thro' dust and tears may see, On heaven's broad scroll afar, The promise sure, "I'll give to thee The Bright and Morning Star, The Bright and Morning Star." Tune Title: [Soldier of Christ, be not cast down!]

There Is a Friend

O Forgive and Forget

Author: L. B. F. Hymnal: SC1862 #64 (1862) Lyrics: 1 O forgive and forget All the wrongs thou hast met At the hand of thy brother below; Those are happiest, far, Whom revenge doth not mar With its spirit of evil and woe. 2 If thy brother offends, Never making amends, Never seeking forgiveness for wrong; If the trespass be seven, Or if seventy times seven, To avenge doth to Heaven belong. 3 O forgive and forget Let the sun never set On thy wrath in its ragings of fire; When thou layest thy head At the night on thy bed, Put away far the demon of ire. Tune Title: [O forgive and forget]
