THE PILGRIM
1a. Where are you going, tell me,
Pilgrim, with the staff in your hand?
By the wondrous Grace of God
I’m going to a better land.
1b. Through the mountains and the valleys
Through the steppes and the fields
Through the forests and the plains
I am going home, my friends.
2a. Pilgrim, in what is your hope
As you travel to your land?
A snow-white garment
And a crown of gold.
2b. There are springs of living water
And heavenly flowers
I am following Jesus
Through the burning sands.
3a. Fear and horror are unknown
On the path for you?
Ah, the Lord’s many legions
Protect me everywhere.
3b. Christ Jesus is with me
He’ll direct me by Himself
On a firm and sure footpath
Straight up to heaven’s realm.
4a. Won’t you take me with you
Where the wondrous land exists?
Yes, my friend, come with me
Here, take me by the hand.
4b. Not far off is our homeland
And the awaited shore
Faith pure and living
Will direct us over there.
