Author: J. H. Horstmann; Chr. Barth Meter: 7.6.7.6 Appears in 4 hymnals First Line: The pilgrim and stranger Lyrics: 1 The pilgrim and the stranger Pursues his journey home; On earth there’s toil and danger, In heav’n is rest alone. 2 The love that earth has given Beneath the sod is laid; He yearns for that in heaven, For flow’rs that never fade. 3 Of wealth and pride and glory, Of palaces and gold, There is the old, sad story Of death and ruin told. 4 The rivers’ flood is hurried Into the ocean wide, And in its bosom buried Beneath the silent tide. 5 ‘Tis thus the pilgrim yearneth For God’s own bliss and peace; In life and joy eternal His soul may be at ease. 6 And longing thus he wanders Throughout this vale of tears, To reach the home that’s yonder Where Christ, his life, appears.

Through temptation’s daily strife, Through the vanities of life, Lead us onward, forward, upward, To our glorious goal. Topics: Forward; Steadfastness; Courage and Loyalty Used With Tune: STRIVING
