Lift your eyes, ye pilgrims, toward the promised land;
For Jesus will take us in his arms, by and by,
And carry us safely home.
Chorus:
He will carry us safely home,
He will carry us safely home;
Yes, Jesus will take us in his arms,
And carry us safely home.
2 We will fear no danger as we march along,
We will fear no danger as we march along;
For Jesus will guide us with his eye all the way,
And carry us safely home. [Chorus]
3 Tho' we walk in sorrow and the tear drops fall,
Tho' we walk in sorrow and the tear drops fall;
Yet Jesus will send the Comforter, bless his name,
And carry us safely home. [Chorus]
4 When our work is finished and our race is run,
When our work is finished and our race is run;
Then Jesus will give his toilers rest, blessed rest,
And carry us safely home. [Chorus]
5 There will be no river when we come to die,
There will be no river when we come to die;
For Jesus will take us in his arms, by and by,
And carry us safely home. [Chorus] Topics: Revival Languages: English Tune Title: [Lift your eyes, ye pilgrims, toward the promised land]
