71. As We Pass Along

1 We’re a band of pilgrims on life’s upward way,
In our mighty Leader trusting day by day;
May his grace abounding make us brave and strong,
Helping one another as we pass along.

Chorus:
Helping hands, loving hearts,
Fill the world with sunshine and rejoicing song;
Helping hands, loving hearts,
Helping one another as we pass along.

2 None of us too lowly some good work to do,
Helping in the Master’s service, brave and true;
Grateful for the blessings that around us throng,
Helping one another as we pass along. [Chorus]

3 Lifting one who falters to a surer hold,
Show’ring love’s bright treasures, richer far than gold;
Holding up our banner, right will conquer wrong,
Helping one another as we pass along. [Chorus]
