Pilgrim's Song

My eyes they gaze afar to Zion's land,

'tis there where God my Father abides;

One day my God and I'll walk hand in hand,

this dream I see each night;

O'er perilous, threat'ning seaways,

though beaten, afflicted, and torn,

The Lord will spread His gospel and saving grace

to ev'ry distant shore.

And when my final days on earth are done,

I'll rest within His garden of peace;

He sees and hears each pain and grief I'll know,

through faith in Him I'm free;

O'er deserts and barren wastelands,

though tired and weary and worn,

The Lord will keep me safe in His loving hands

until He leads me home.
