I'm A Sunny Hearted Pilgrim

Author: N. A. McAulay Hymnal: The King of Glory #193 (1918) First Line: I'm a sunny hearted pilgrim on the King's highway Refrain First Line: I am singing, ever singing as I go Lyrics: 1 I’m a sunny hearted pilgrim on the King’s highway, For the light is shining brightly in my soul today, I am looking unto Jesus as I run the christian race, And he causes me to triumph by His love and grace. Refrain: I am singing, ever singing as I go, For his bounty ev’ry blessing doth bestow Joy and peace in waves of gladness o’er me roll, Oh ‘tis sweet to have His glory in my soul. 2 Tho’ the tempter tries to hinder, I will still press on, For the burden once so heavy now are almost gone; Guardian angels are beside me to protect and cheer, And no evil can befall me while my Lord is near. [Refrain] 3 I shall see my dear Redeemer in that home above, There to taste the blessed fulness of His saving love, Oh, the joy that now awaits me, where I long to be, With my Lord and those he ransomed by the crystal sea. [Refrain] Tune Title: [I'm a sunny hearted pilgrim on the King's highway]
