The Pilgrim Way

Author: Rev. H. G. Jackson, D. D. Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Upward toils the eager pilgrim Refrain First Line: Yes, the pathway groweth brighter Lyrics: 1 Upward toils the eager pilgrim, Pressing onward to his home, Now in sunshine, now in shadow— But the perfect day will come. Refrain: Yes, the pathway groweth brighter, Groweth brighter all the way, As it nears the heav’nly city, And the realms of endless day. 2 Oft the way is rough and thorny, And the pilgrim’s feet are bare, But his Lord hath once passed o’er it, Leaving shining footprints there. [Refrain] 3 Oft he journeys thro’ the valley, And the night seems dark and long, But the joy that comes with morning, Turns his sorrows into song. [Refrain] 4 Sometimes too, from mount or hilltop, His enraptured eyes behold, Gleaming in the sunset glory, Gates of pearl and streets of gold! [Refrain] 5 Soon he’ll cross the mystic river, And on yonder peaceful shore, All his weary wand’rings ended, Dwell with Jesus evermore. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [Upward toils the eager pilgrim]
