Gospel Hymns and Songs ‎#30

30. Won’t You Come and Go Along With Me?

1 I’m only here a pilgrim and a stranger,
For the heav’nly Canaan bound;
A few more days of toiling and of danger
Till the land of rest is found.

Refrain:
Won’t you come and go along with me?
Won’t you come and go along with me?
The promised land my eyes of faith have sighted,
Won’t you come and go along with me?

2 A land where all the wrongs of earth are righted,
Hidden mysteries made plain;
Where broken ties again are reunited,
Parted friends shall meet again. [Refrain]

3 Each day this wondrous city we are nearing,
Where the King himself we’ll see;
But Jordan’s crossing we will not be fearing,
Christ our pilot still will be. [Refrain]

4 Come as you are! the world of sin forsaking,
From its follies turn away;
The straight and narrow way with Jesus taking,
Make the start for heav’n today. [Refrain]
