Strangers and Pilgrims
Charles Wesley • English
Primary Scripture: Genesis 12:1
Verse 1
In every time and place Who serve the Lord most high, Are called His sovereign will to embrace, And still their own deny; To follow His command, On earth as pilgrims rove, And seek an undiscovered land, And house, and friends above.
Verse 2
Father, the narrow path To that far country show; And in the steps of Abraham’s faith Enable me to go, A cheerful sojourner Where’er Thou bidd’st me roam, Till, guided by Thy Spirit here, I reach my heavenly home.
