Pilgrim, Whither Journey You

"Pilgrim, whither journey you

Along the path of life?

What's the goal you have in view

Along the path of life?"

"Far beyond our vision, friend,

Is my journey's blessèd end;

Heavenward my footsteps wend

Along the path of life."

"Pilgrim, why not halt and rest

Along the path of life?

Quickly on your way you've pressed

Along the path of life."

"Nay, but through His precious grace

Soon I'll end this earthly race;

I have no abiding place

Along the path of life."

"Pilgrim, why look you so glad

Along the path of life?"

"Nearing home, should I be sad

Along the path of life?

Where yon crystal towers shine

I shall see my King divine,

And eternal bliss be mine

Beyond this path of life."
