The Pilgrim Spirit

Lorraine Nelsen • English

Primary Scripture: 1 Corinthians 4:2

Verse 1

The Pilgrim spirit moveth Across the world this day; Uniting youth in service, To Jesus' holy way. It knows no race nor kindred, No narrow, selfish plan, But only the fulfillment Of what our Lord began.

Chorus

We are fellow Pilgrims In the Master's plan To make of all the nations One brotherhood of man!

Verse 2

The Pilgrim band that once sailed Across an unknown sea, Are moving yet across earth, Their spirits still are free! They seek release for mankind From sin and war and strife, To make our Father's kingdom Our own in daily life.

Chorus

We are fellow Pilgrims In the Master's plan To make of all the nations One brotherhood of man!

Verse 3

The Pilgrims still are marching Undaunted, brave and true, Still seeking for their Master Some work of love to do. O Lord and Master, help our Great fellowship to be The pow'r to build Thy kingdom Of love, that is to be.

Chorus

We are fellow Pilgrims In the Master's plan To make of all the nations One brotherhood of man!
