We Are Pilgrims of a Day

Verse 1

We are pilgrims of a day, Homeward bound, homeward bound; Singing on our cheerful way, We are homeward bound.

Chorus

Onward, upward still, O ye hopeful pilgrims; Forward, fear no ill, yonder is our home; We journey, hand in hand, To Canaan’s happy land; O come, ye friends and neighbors, And join the pilgrim band.

Verse 2

We are happy in the Lord, Trav’ling on, trav’ling on; Trusting in His holy Word, We are trav’ling on.

Verse 3

Sin and sorrow here below, Soon will end, soon will end; In the land to which we go, Toil and care will end.

Verse 4

Working all the way along, Rest will come, rest will come; Lighten work with pray’r and song, Blessèd rest will come.
