The Pilgrim Company
Appears in 170 hymnals First Line: What poor despised company Refrain First Line: I had rather be the least of them Lyrics: 1 What poor, despised company
Of travelers are these,
Who walk in yonder narrow way,
Along that rugged maze?
Refrain:
I had rather be the least of them,
Who are the Lord's alone,
Than wear a royal diadem,
And sit upon a throne.
And sit upon a throne,
And sit upon a throne;
Than wear a royal diadem,
And sit upon a throne.
2 Ah, these are of a royal line,
All children of a King,
Heirs of immortal life divine,
And lo! for joy they sing! [Refrain]
3 Why do they, then, appear so mean?
And why so much despised?
Because of their rich robes unseen,
The world is not apprised. [Refrain]
4 But some of them seem poor, distressed,
And lacking daily bread;
Ah! they're of boundless wealth possessed
With heavenly manna fed. [Refrain]
5 Why do they shun the pleasing path
That worldlings love so well?
Because it is the way to death,
The open road to hell. [Refrain]
6 But why keep they that narrow road,
That rugged, thorny maze?
Why that's the way their Leader trod,
They love and keep his ways. [Refrain]
7 What, is there then no other road
To Salem's happy ground?
Christ is the only way to God,
None other can be found. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [What poor despised company]
The Pilgrim Company
He's Just the Same To-day
Appears in 36 hymnals First Line: When Moses and the Israelites Lyrics: 1 When Moses and the Israelites
From Egypt's land did flee,
Behind them were proud Pharaoh's host,
In front of them the sea.
God raised the water like a wall
And opened up their way;
And the God that lived in Moses' time
Is just the same to-day.
Chorus:
He's just the same to-day,
He's just the same to-day;
And the God that lived in olden times
Is just the same to-day.
2 When Daniel, faithful to his God,
Would not bow down to men,
And by God's enemies was hurl'd
Into the lion's den,
God shut the lions' mouths, we read,
And robb'd them of their prey;
And the God that lived in Daniel's time
Is just the same to-day [Chorus]
3 When David and Goliath met--
The wrong against the right--
The giant arm with human power,
And David with God's might.
God's power with David's sling and stone
The giant low did lay;
And the God that lived in David's time
Is just the same to-day. [Chorus]
4 When Pentecost had fully come,
And fire from heaven did fall,
As a mighty wind the Holy Ghost
Baptized them one and all.
Three thousand were converted and
Were soldiers right away;
And the God that lived at Pentecost
Is just the same to-day. [Chorus] Used With Tune: [When Moses and the Israelites]
He's Just the Same To-day
The Same To-Day
