OH PILGRIM, WHEN PROGRESS IS BOUND
BY DISAPPOINTMENTS YOU HAVE FOUND
WITH COURAGE WANT AND FAITH DEPLETE
EVERY DAY SMACKS BITTERSWEET
HARSH MORSELS OF THE CONSTANT PAIN
THAT HINDER WALK AND STYMIE GAIN
AND BRINGS IN EBB AND FLOW OF GRIEF
THAT CAUSES HOPE TO EVER CEASE
THE WONDERS OF HIS LOVE ERASE
DISMISSING CRIMSON BLOTCH WITH GRACE
AND MAKING SMOOTH THE CREASE OF SCAR
YOU’LL FIND THE PATH OF JOY NOT FAR
SO JOURNEY ONWARD WITHOUT FAIL
HIS PRESENCE GOES BEHIND THE VEIL
THE DARKNESS THAT ONCE SEEMED SO BLEAK
BREAKS DAWN WITH MORNING AT HIS FEET
NO DARK NIGHT OF SOUL WILL WIN
FOR GREATER IS HE WHO IS WITHIN
NOW, SET A WATCH AND KNOW HE’S NEAR
WITH ARMS TO HOLD AND EAR TO HEAR
HIS GENTLE WHISPER IN YOUR HEART
REMINDS THAT HE WILL NEVER PART
HIS LOVE IS STEADFAST, STRONG, AND TRUE
THE HOPE OF GLORY, CHRIST IN YOU!
