The Pilgrim's Home
James Montgomery • English
Primary Scripture: Matthew 6:21
Verse 1
As through this changing world we roam From infancy to age, Heaven is the Christian pilgrim's home, His rest at every stage; Thither his raptured thoughts ascend, Eternal joys to share; There his adoring spirit bends, While here he kneels in prayer.
Verse 2
From earth his freed affections rise To fix on things above, Where all his hope of glory lies, And love is perfect love; Ah! there may we our treasure place, There let our hearts be found, That sill where sin abounded, grace May more and more abound.
