We Are Pilgrims of a Day

We are pil­grims of a day

Homeward bound

home­ward bound;

Singing on our cheer­ful way

We are home­ward bound.

Onward

up­ward still

O ye hope­ful pil­grims;

Forward

fear no ill

yon­der is our home;

We jour­ney

hand in hand

To Ca­naan’s hap­py land;

O come

ye friends and neigh­bors

And join the pil­grim band.

We are hap­py in the Lord

Trav’ling on

tra­v’l­ing on;

Trusting in His ho­ly Word

We are tra­v’l­ing on.

Sin and sor­row here be­low

Soon will end

soon will end;

In the land to which we go

Toil and care will end.

Working all the way along

Rest will come

rest will come;

Lighten work with pray­er and song

Blessèd rest will come.
