Now Rest, Ye Pilgrim Host

Author: Rossiter Worthington Raymond Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 18 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Now rest, ye pilgrim host, Look back upon your way, The mountains climbed, the torrents crossed, Through many a weary day. From this victorious height, How fair the past appears, God's grace and glory shining bright On all the bygone years. 2 How many, at His call, Have parted from our throng! They watch us from the crystal wall, And echo back our song. They rest, beyond complaints, Beyond all sighs and tears: Praise be to God for all His saints Who wrought in bygone years. 3 The banners they upbore Our hands still lift on high; The Lord they followed evermore To us is also nigh. Arise, arise, and tread The future without fears; He leadeth still Whose hand hath led Through all the bygone years. 4 When we have reached the home We seek with weary feet, Our children's children still shall come To keep these ranks complete; And He Whose host is one Throughout the countless spheres Will guide His marching servants on Through everlasting years. Amen. Topics: Occasional Anniversary; Anniversaries Used With Tune: CHALVEY

My sins are great, where shall I flee? The blood of Jesus speaks for me; For all our sins He carried. 2 Repentant at Thy feet I fall, To Thy cross humbly clinging, O Jesus, hear me when I call, My wants before Thee bringing. My trust is in Thy grace and pow'r; For all was finished in that hour, When Thou didst make atonement. 3 When I approach Thine altar, Lord, May I this comfort cherish, That on the cross, Thy blood was poured For me, lest I should perish. Thou didst for me God's law fulfill. That holy joy my heart might thrill, When on Thy love I'm feasting. 4 Shield me against the tempter's power, Whene'er he would assail me: Confirm my faith in death's dark hour, O let it never fail me! Lord Jesus, who hast died for me, My life I would devote to Thee, To praise Thy Name forever. Amen.
