Hymnal: Joyful Songs #77 (1875) First Line: Pilgrim bend thy footsteps on Lyrics: 1 Pilgrim bend thy footsteps on
In trembling faith, in humble fear;
Thy crown of glory is not won,
Thy recompense not here;
But onward with the angels blest,
Seek the haven of thy rest.
2 What has life to do with Thee,
Its ling'ring griefs, its transient bliss?
Time changes to eternity,
O pilgrim ponder this!
And onward with the angels blest,
Seek the haven of thy rest.
3 Pilgrim swerve not in thy faith,
Tho' thorns and briars strew the way;
O heed not what the worlding saith,
Death soon will close life's day;
But onward with the angels blest,
Seek the haven of thy rest.
4 Seek it as the one thing worth,
Turn to thy God in faith and love;
The peace thou can'st not find on earth,
O seek in Heaven above!
And onward with the angels best
Find thy everlasting rest. Languages: English Tune Title: [Pilgrim, Bend Thy Footsteps On]
