Pilgrims, on! the day is dawning

Author: Anon. Appears in 7 hymnals Matching Instances: 3 Lyrics: 1 Pilgrims, on! the day is dawning; Strike your tents, and homeward haste: Sleep not while the blush of morning Calls you on the desert waste, Though the way is dark and dreary, Life's sharp anguish must be borne; Courage, then, ye faint and weary, Linger not to weep and morn. 2 Pilgrims, on! the storm is beating, Beating wildly on your way: Tarry not, the time is fleeting; Shall the storm your footsteps stay? Hasten on, through joy and sorrow, Or whatever may betide, Wait not for the calm to-morrow, Faithful at your work abide. 3 Pilgrims, on! what though in dangers, Life's eventful course pursue; Labor on, ye friendless strangers, Grace will guide you safely through. What if trials must befall you! What if fierce temptations rise! Shall earth's bitter strife appall you While contending for the prize? 4 Pilgrims, on! there's rest in heaven, Rest from every anxious care, Rest in Jesus' smiles, forgiven, Peaceful and eternal there. O, 'twere sweet to toil in sadness, O, 'twere well the cross to bear, If, at last in joy and gladness, We may rest forever there! Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Used With Tune: ONWARD

Time, thou speedest on but slowly

Author: Catherine Winkworth Appears in 26 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 Time, thou speedest on but slowly; Hours, how tardy is your pace! Ere with him, the high and holy, I hold converse face to face. Here is naught but care and mourning Comes a joy, it will not stay; Fairly shines the sun at dawning, Night will soon o'ercloud the day. 2 Onward then! not long I wander Ere my Saviour comes for me, And with him abiding yonder, All his glory I shall see. O, the music and the singing Of the hosts redeemed by love! O, the hallelujahs ringing Through the halls of light above! Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Used With Tune: ONWARD
