A Pilgrim’s Song

Author: Edw. A. Barnes Hymnal: Showers of Blessing #52 (1888) First Line: Sorrow here is not a stranger Lyrics: 1 Sorrow here is not a stranger, Care appears with ev’ry day; And I meet with win and danger As I walk the pilgrim’s way. Saviour, keep thy cross before me, Thus by faith thy presence show; Saviour keep its shadow o’er me, While a pilgrim here below: Saviour keep its shadow o’er me, While a pilgrim, while a pilgrim here below. 2 Storms in life are oft prevailing, And the shadows often fall; Still, with Christian zeal unfailing, I would meet and brave them all. Saviour, be a Rock to hide me, And to me thy grace bestow; Savior, be a Star to guide me, While a pilgrim here below : Savior, be a Star to guide me, While a pilgrim, while a pilgrim here below. 3 Hope and peace in thee possessing, By the Word that is divine; And thy holy name confessing, Faith is in this song of mine. Saviour, help me tell thy story, Thus the precious seed to sow; Saviour, help me sing thy glory, While a pilgrim here below. Tune Title: [Sorrow here is not a stranger]
