Pilgrim Hymnology

Last night while laying in bed I was singing (in my mind) some hymns containing the word "pilgrim". We truly are pilgrims on our journey home and the scribblings on this blog reflect that fact.

Consider this...

A pilgrim was I and a wand'ring,
In the cold night of sin I did roam;
When Jesus the kind Shepherd found me
And now I am on my way home.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
All the days, all the days of my life;
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
All the days, all the days of my life.
And I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever,
And I shall feast at the table spread for me.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
All the days, all the days of my life.

And also...

While we walk the pilgrim pathway
Clouds may overspread the sky,
But when traveling days are over
Not a shadow not a sigh.

When we all get to heaven
What a day of rejoicing that will be!
When we all see Jesus
We'll sing and shout the victory!

May you sense the Father's loving care and protection as you continue your journey today.
