The Church Hymnary/Through the Night of Doubt and Sorrow
Through the night of doubt and sorrow,
Onward goes the pilgrim band,
Singing songs of expectation,
Marching to the Promised Land.
And before us, through the darkness,
Gleaming clear the guiding light;
Brother clasps the hand of brother,
And steps fearless through the night.
2One the strain which mouths of thousands
Lift as from the heart of one;
One the conflict, one the peril
One the march in God begun;
One the gladness of rejoicing
On the far eternal shore,
With one Father o'er us shining
In His love for evermore.
3Go we onward, pilgrim brothers,
Visit first the cross and grave,
Where the cross its shadow flingeth
Where the boughs of cypress wave.
Then, a shaking as of earthquakes,
Then, a rending of the tomb;
Then, a scattering of all shadows,
And the end of toil and gloom.
Bernard Ingham 1865
