The Cyber Hymnal ‎#2971

2971. In Every Time and Place

1. In every time and place
Who serve the Lord most high,
Are called His sovereign will to embrace,
And still their own deny;
To follow His command,
On earth as pilgrims rove,
And seek an undiscovered land,
And house, and friends above.

2. Father, the narrow path
To that far country show;
And in the steps of Abraham’s faith
Enable me to go,
A cheerful sojourner
Where’er Thou bidd’st me roam,
Till, guided by Thy Spirit here,
I reach my heavenly home.
