| Text: | Sweet Song of Hope |

| Tune: | [We are pilgrims here and strangers] |
| Composer: | C. M. Seamans |
1. We are pilgrims and strangers
Trav'ling o'er life's desert bare;
But whate'er its toil and dangers
Hope is ever singing there.
Chorus:
Cheerily singing, singing, singing all the way
Caroling in the heart a happy lay;
Joyfully ringing, ringing, ringing, ringing, ringing all the day
Voice of Hope that drives the clouds away.
2. Tho' the way be long and dreary,
Blessed Hope is ever nigh;
Singing softly to the weary
Of the sweet, sweet by and by. [Chorus]
3. When life's cares are sorely pressing,
And its burdens weigh us down,
Hope is filling us with blessing,
Singing of the victor's crown. [Chorus]
4. Precious Hope thus ever singing,
In our hearts new strength creates;
Daily inspiration bringing
Till we reach the pearly gates. [Chorus]
