We are pilgrims to the beautiful pearly gates;
As we journey let us sing,
We are pilgrims to the beautiful pearly gates.
Refrain:
We are pilgrims to the gates,
To the wondrous pearly gates,
Where the ransomed spirit waits;
We are pilgrims to the beautiful pearly gates.
2 Thro’ the dreary desert wide,
We are pilgrims to the beautiful pearly gates;
Trusting in our Saviour guide,
We are pilgrims to the beautiful pearly gates. [Refrain]
3 Heirs to “Many Mansions” fair,
We are pilgrims to the beautiful pearly gates;
Songs of welcome wait us there,
We are pilgrims to the beautiful pearly gates. [Refrain]
4 Soon we’ll walk each gold-paved street,
We are pilgrims to the beautiful pearly gates;
Soon find rest for toil-worn feet,
We are pilgrims to the beautiful pearly gates. [Refrain] Topics: Heaven Scripture: Revelation 21:21 Tune Title: [Heirs of God with Christ our King]
