A pilgrim through this lonely world
Author: Denny Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 88 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 10:25 Lyrics: 1 A pilgrim through this lonely world,
The blessed Saviour passed:
A mourner all his life was he,
A dying Lamb at last.
2 That tender heart that felt for all,
For all its life-blood gave;
It found on earth no resting-place,
Save only in the grave.
3 Such was our Lord; and shall we fear
The cross, with all its scorn?
Or love a faithless, evil world,
That wreathed his brow with thorn?

Lord, Who Throughout These Forty Days
Author: Claudia F. Hernaman, 1838-1898 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 86 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 10:38 Lyrics: 1 Lord, who throughout these forty days
for us did fast and pray,
teach us with you to mourn our sins
and close by you to stay.
2 As you with Satan did contend,
and did the victory win,
O give us strength in you to fight,
in you to conquer sin.
3 As you did hunger and did thirst,
so teach us, gracious Lord,
to die to self, and so to live
by your most holy Word.
4 And thro' these days of penitence,
and thro' your Passiontide,
forevermore, in life and death,
O Lord, with us abide.
5 Abide with us, that through this life
of doubts and hope and pain,
an Easter of unending joy
we may at last attain! Topics: Conflict Spiritual Used With Tune: LAND OF REST

See how he loved! exclaimed the Jews
Author: Bache Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 61 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 10:38 Lyrics: 1 See how he loved! exclaimed the Jews,
As tender tears from Jesus fell:
My grateful heart the theme pursues,
And on his love delights to dwell.
2 See how he loved! who traveled on,
Teaching the doctrine from the skies;
He bade disease and pain begone,
And called the sleeping dead to rise.
3 See how he loved! who, firm yet mild,
With patience bore the scoffing tongue;
Though oft provoked, he ne'er reviled,
Nor did his enemies a wrong.
4 See how he loved! who never shrank
From toil or danger, pain or death;
He all the cup of sorrow drank,
And meekly yielded up his breath.
5 Such love shall we unmoved survey?
Oh, may our breasts with ardor glow,
To tread his steps, his laws obey,
And thus the love of Jesus show! Topics: Christ Life, Office, and Example; The Love of Jesus

with the cross which we must bear,
we will follow Jesus.

we will follow Jesus.

I Don't Know about Tomorrow (I Know Who Holds Tomorrow)
Author: Ira F. Stanphill, 1914- Meter: 8.7.8.7 D with refrain Appears in 43 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 10:31 First Line: I don't know about tomorrow Refrain First Line: Many things about tomorrow Lyrics: 1 I don't know about tomorrow,
I just live from day to day.
I don't borrow from its sunshine,
For its skies may turn to gray.
I don't worry o'er the future,
For I know what Jesus said,
And today I'll walk beside Him,
For He knows what is ahead.
Refrain:
Many things about tomorrow,
I don't seem to understand;
But I know who holds tomorrow,
And I know who holds my hand.
2 Every step is getting brighter,
As the golden stairs I climb;
Every burden's getting lighter;
Every cloud is silver lined.
There the sun is always shining,
There no tear will dim the eye,
At the ending of the rainbow,
Where the mountains touch the sky. [Refrain]
3 I don't know about tomorrow,
It may bring me poverty;
But the one who feeds the sparrow,
Is the one who stands by me.
And the path that be my portion,
May be through the flame or flood,
But His presence goes before me,
And I'm covered with His blood. [Refrain] Topics: The Christian Life Faith and Assurance; Trust; Walking with God Used With Tune: I KNOW

Lord, give us peace, and make us calm and sure,
that in your strength we evermore endure.
