The Pilgrims of the Night. Onward we go, for still we hear them singing, 66 Come, weary souls, for Jesus bids you come!' And through the dark, its echoes sweetly ringing, The music of the Gospel leads us home. Angels of Jesus, Angels of light, Singing to welcome The pilgrims of the night! Far, far away, like bells at evening pealing, Angels of light, Singing to welcome The pilgrims of the night! Rest comes at last; though life be long and dreary, The day must dawn, and darksome night be past; All journeys end in welcomes to the weary, And heaven, the heart's true home, will come at last. Angels of Jesus, Angels of light, The pilgrims of the night! The Pilgrims of the Night. Cheer up, my soul! faith's moonbeams softly glisten Upon the breast of life's most troubled sea, And it will cheer thy drooping heart to listen To those brave songs which angels mean for thee. Angels of Jesus, Angels of light, Singing to welcome The pilgrims of the night! Angels, sing on, your faithful watches keeping, Angels of Jesus, Angels of light, Singing to welcome The pilgrims of the night! FREDERICK WILLIAM FABER. 74 Lord, dismiss us, with Thy Blessing. ORD, dismiss us, with Thy blessing; Travelling through this wilderness! Thanks we give, and adoration, For Thy Gospel's joyful sound; May the fruit of Thy salvation In our hearts and lives abound! May thy presence With us evermore be found! So, whene'er the signal 's given Us from earth to call away, May we ever Reign with Christ in endless day! Paradise. PARADISE! O Paradise Who doth not crave for rest? Who would not seek the happy land Where loyal hearts and true Stand ever in the light, All rapture through and through, O Paradise! O Paradise! The world is growing old; Where loyal hearts and true Stand ever in the light, All rapture through and through, |
