343. We Are Pilgrims

1 We are pilgrims on our journey,
We are pilgrims on our journey,
We are pilgrims on our journey,
And we soon shall reach our home.

2 We are marching thro' the valley,
We are marching thro' the valley,
We are marching thro' the valley,
And we soon shall reach our home.

3 Soon our troubles will be over,
Soon our troubles will be over,
Soon our troubles will be over,
For we soon shall reach our home.

4 Soon our conflicts will be ended,
Soon our conflicts will be ended,
Soon our conflicts will be ended,
For we soon shall reach our home.

5 Let's hold out a little longer,
Let's hold out a little longer,
Let's hold out a little longer,
For we soon shall reach our home.

6 Let us bear the cross for Jesus,
Let us bear the cross for Jesus,
Let us bear the cross for Jesus,
For we soon shall reach our home.

7 Let us keep our lamps a-burning,
Let us keep our lamps a-burning,
Let us keep our lamps a-burning,
For we soon shall reach our home.

8 Soon we'll sing and shout in glory,
Soon we"ll sing and shout in glory,
Soon we'll sing and shout in glory,
For we soon shall reach our home.

9 There we'll live with Him forever,
There we'll live with Him forever,
There we'll live with Him forever,
For we soon shall reach our home.

10 Come, O sinner, journey with us,
Come, O sinner, journey with us,
Come, O sinner, journey with us,
For we soon shall reach our home.
