Captain of Israel's Host
Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: RITL1985 #51 (1985) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 First Line: Captain of Israel's host and guide Lyrics: 1 Captain of Israel's host and guide
of all who seek the land above,
beneath thy shadow we abide,
the cloud of thy protecting love;
our strength, thy grace; our rule, thy word;
our end, the glory of the Lord.
2 By thine unerring Spirit led,
we shall not in the desert stray;
we shall not full direction need,
nor miss our providential way;
as far from danger as from fear
while love, almighty love, is near.
3 We've no abiding city here,
but seek a city out of sight;
thither our steady course we steer,
aspiring to the plains of light:
Jerusalem the saints' abode,
whose founder is the living God.

Captain of Israel's Host
Arm of the Lord, Awake, Awake!
Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: RITL1985 #52 (1985) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Arm of the Lord, awake, awake!
thine own immortal strength put on;
with terror clothed, hell's kingdom shake
and cast thy foes forever down.
2 As in the ancient times appear;
the sacred annals speak thy fame:
be now omnipotently near,
to endless ages still the same.
3 Thy arm, Lord, is not shortened now;
it lacks not now the pow'r to save;
still present with thy people, thou
bear'st them through life's disparted wave.
4 By death and hell pursued in vain,
to thee the ransomed seed shall come,
shouting their heav'nly Zion gain,
and pass through death triumphant home.
5 Where pure essential joy is found,
the Lord's redeemed their heads shall raise,
with everlasting gladness crowned,
and filled with love, and lost in praise.

Arm of the Lord, Awake, Awake!
Awake, Our Souls, Away, Our Fears
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: RITL1985 #53 (1985) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Awake, our souls, away, our fears,
let ev'ry trembling thought be gone;
awake, and run the heav'nly race,
and put a cheerful courage on.
2 True, 'tis a strait and thorny road,
and mortal spirits tire and faint,
but they forget the mighty God,
who feeds the strength of ev'ry saint;
3 thee, mighty God, whose matchless power
is ever new and ever young,
and firm endures, while endless years
their everlasting circles run.
4 From thee, the overflowing spring,
our souls shall drink a fresh supply,
while such as trust their native strength
shall melt away, and droop, and die.
5 Swift as an eagle mounts the air,
we'll mount aloft to thine abode;
on wings of love our souls shall fly,
nor tire amidst the heav'nly road.

Awake, Our Souls, Away, Our Fears
Through the Night of Doubt and Sorrow
Author: B. S. Ingemann; Sabine Baring-Gould Hymnal: RITL1985 #54 (1985) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Lyrics: 1 Through the night of doubt and sorrow
onward goes the pilgrim band,
singing songs of expectation,
marching to the promised land.
2 One the light of God's own presence
o'er his ransomed people shed,
chasing far the gloom and terror,
bright'ning all the path we tread.
3 One the object of our journey,
one the faith which never tires,
one the earnest looking forward,
one the hope our God inspires.
4 One the strain the lips of thousands
lift as from the heart of one;
one the conflict, one the peril,
one the march in God begun.
5 One the gladness of rejoicing
on the far eternal shore,
where the one almighty Father
reigns in love for evermore.

Through the Night of Doubt and Sorrow
By Gracious Powers So Wonderfully Sheltered
Author: Dietrich Bonhoeffer; Fred Pratt Green Hymnal: RITL1985 #55 (1985) Meter: 11.10.11.10 Lyrics: 1 By gracious powers so wonderfully sheltered,
and confidently waiting, come what may,
we know that God is with us night and morning,
and never fails to greet us each new day.
2 Yet is this heart by its old foe tormented,
still evil days bring burdens hard to bear;
O give our frightened souls the sure salvation
for which, O Lord, you taught us to prepare.
3 And when this cup you give is filled to brimming,
with bitter sorrow, hard to understand,
we take it thankfully and without trembling,
out of so good and so beloved a hand.
4 Yet when again in this same world you give us
the joy we had, the brightness of your sun,
we shall remember all the days we lived through,
and our whole life shall then be yours alone. Topics: God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob Scripture: Matthew 26:39 Languages: English Tune Title: INTERCESSOR

God Is My Strength! I Bless His Name
Author: Philip Doddridge, 1702-1751 Hymnal: RITL1985 #56 (1985) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 God is my strength! I bless his name;
the same his pow'r, his grace the same;
the tokens of his friendly care
open and close and crown the year.
2 I 'midst ten thousand dangers stand,
supported by his guardian hand,
and see, when I survey my ways,
ten thousand momuments of praise.
3 Thus far his arm has led me on,
thus far I make his mercy known,
and whle I tread this desert land,
new mercies shall new songs demand.
4 My grateful soul on Jordan's shore
shall raise one sacred pillar more,
then bear in his bright courts above,
inscriptions of immortal love.

Great God, We Sing That Mighty Hand
Author: Philip Doddridge Hymnal: RITL1985 #57 (1985) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Great God, we sing that mighty hand
by which supported still we stand;
the opening year thy mercy shows;
thy mercy crowns it till it close.
2 By day, by night, at home, abroad,
still are we guarded by our God,
by his incessant bounty fed,
by his unerring counsel led.
3 With grateful hearts the past we own;
the future, all to us unknown,
we to thy guardian care commit,
and peaceful leave before thy feet.
4 In scenes exalted or depressed,
thou art our joy, and thou our rest;
thy goodness all our hopes shall raise,
adored through all our changing days.

Lead Us, O Father, in the Paths of Peace
Author: William H. Burleigh Hymnal: RITL1985 #60 (1985) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Lyrics: 1 Lead us, O Father, in the paths of peace;
without thy guiding hand we go astray,
and doubts appall, and sorrows still increase;
lead us through Christ, the true and living way.
2 Lead us, O Father, in the paths of truth;
unhelped by thee, in error's maze we grope,
while passion stains, and folly dims our youth,
and age comes on, uncheered by faith and hope.
3 Lead us, O Father, in the paths of right;
blindly we stumble when we walk alone,
involved in shadows of a dark'ing night;
only with thee we journey safely on.
4 Lead us, O Father, to thy heav'nly rest,
however rough and steep the path may be,
through joy or sorrows as thou deemest best,
until our lives are perfected in thee.
