LONELY PILGRIM Lyrics

I walk a lonely pilgrim here

O'er life's uneven way

My aching heart keeps hoping, for

A bright and better day;

A glorious home, a godly land

The blessèd, heavenly rest

And well I know that land is near

The home of all who're blest

I walk alone, and oft am sad

And fall the briny tears

My heart is grieved with trials sore

And pressed with many cares

The better land no sorrow knows

There, hushed is every sigh

The Savior's hand in kindness wipes

The tear-drop from each eye

I walk alone, and yet am glad

The blessèd promise's given

To cheer the heart—the lowly one

Towards that promised Heaven

The humble path my Savior walked

I scorn it not to tread

The frowns and scoffs my Savior bore

May fall upon my head

I stand upon His precious word

My soul rejoiceth free

The glorious light the Gospel gives

Is light that shines for me

I'll suffer now, I'll triumph then

I'll die for Jesus here

In that bright world I'll live again

A conqueror's crown to wear
