I'm but a stranger here,
Heav'n is my home;
Earth is a desert drear,
Heav'n is my home;
Danger and sorrow stand
Round me on ev'ry hand,
Heav'n is my Fatherland,
Heav'n is my home.
2. What though the tempest rage,
Heaven is my home;
Short is my pilgrimage,
Heaven is my home.
Time's cold and wintry blast
Soon will be overpast;
I shall reach home at last;
Heaven is my home.
3. There at my Saviour's side,
Heaven is my home,
I shall be glorified,
Heaven is my home.
There'll be the good and blest,
Those I love most and best;
There, too, I soon shall rest;
Heaven is my home. Languages: English Tune Title: OAK

New heights I'm gaining ev'ry day;
Still praying as I onward bound,
"Lord, plant my feet on higher ground."
Chorus:
Lord, lift me up and let me stand,
By faith on heaven's tableland,
A higher plane than I have found;
Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.
2 My heart has no desire to stay
Where doubts arise and fears dismay;
Tho' some may dwell where these abound,
My prayer, my aim is higher ground. [Chorus]
3 I want to live above the world,
Tho' Satan's darts at me are hurled;
For faith has caught the joyful sound,
The song of saints on higher ground. [Chorus]
4 I want to scale the utmost height,
And catch a gleam of glory bright;
But still I'll pray till heav'n I've found,
"Lord, lead me on to higher ground." [Chorus]

Hymnal: Christ in Song #642 (1908) Topics: Christ Pilgrimage; Christ Pilgrimage; Christ Pilgrimage; Christ Pilgrimage; Christ Pilgrimage; Christ Pilgrimage; Living His Life Pilgrimage; Living His Life Pilgrimage; Living His Life Pilgrimage First Line: Pilgrims on! the day is dawning Lyrics: 1 Pilgrims on! the day is dawning;
Strike your tents, and homeward haste:
Sleep not while the blush of morning
Calls you on the dessert waste.
Tho' the way be dark and dreary,
Life's sharp anguish must be borne.
Courage, then, ye faint and weary,
Linger not to weep and mourn.
2 Pilgrims on! the storm is beating,
Beating wildly on your way:
Tarry not, the time is fleeting;
Shall the storm your footsteps stay?
Hasten on, thro' joy and sorrow,
Or whatever may betide,
Wait not for the calm tomorrow,
Faithful at your work abide.
3 Pilgrim on! what tho' in dangers,
Life's eventful course pursue;
Labor on, ye friendless strangers,
Grace will guide you safely through.
What if trials must befall you!
What if fierce temptations rise!
Shall earth's bitter strife appall you
While contending for the prize?
4 Pilgrims on! there's rest in heaven,
Rest from every anxious care,
Rest in Jesus' smiles forgiven,
Peaceful and eternal there.
O, 't were sweet to toil in sadness,
O, 't were well the cross to bear,
If at last in joy and gladness
We may rest forever there!

The Pilgrimage of Saints, Or, Earth and Heaven
Hymnal: The Christians Duty, exhibited, in a series of Hymns #CCXXXII (1791) Topics: Pilgrimage of Saints First Line: Oh! what a wretched Land is this Lyrics: 1 Oh! what a wretched Land is this,
That yields us no Supply,
No chearing Fruits, no wholesome Trees,
Nor Streams of living Joy?
2 But pricking thorns thro' all the Ground,
And Mortal Poisons grow,
And all the rivers that are found
With dang'rous Waters flow.
3 Yet the dear Path to thine Abode
Lies thro' this horrid Land;
Lord! we would keep that heav'nly Road,
And run at thy Command.
[4 Our souls shall tread the Desart thro'
With undiverted Feet;
And Faith and flaming Zeal subdue
The Terrors that we meet.]
[5 A Thousand Savage Beasts of Prey
Around the Forest roam;
But Judah's Lion guards the Way,
And guides the Strangers Home.]
[6 Long Nights and Darkness dwells below,
With scarce a twinkling Ray:
But the bright World to which we go
Is Everlasting Day.
[7 By glimm'ring Hopes, and gloomy Fears,
We trace the sacred Road,
Thro, dismal Deeps and dang'rous Snares,
We make our Way to God.]
8 Our Journey is a thorny Maze,
But we march Upwards still,
Forget these Troubles of the Ways,
And reach at Sion's Hill.
[9 See the kind Angels at the Gates,
Inviting us to come!
There Jesus the Fore Runner waits,
To welcome Trav'lers Home!]
10 There on a green and flow'ry Mount,
Our Weary Souls shall sit,
And with transporting Joys recount
The Labours of our Feet:
[11 No vain Discourse shall fill our Tongue,
Nor Trifles vex our Ear.
Infinite Grace shall be our Song,
And God rejoice to hear.]
12 Eternal Glory to the King
That brought us safely through;
Our Tongue shall never cease to sing,
And Endless Praise renew. Languages: English

Shall reach the land by sin untrod,
The gate of pearl, the golden street,
Whose Builder and whose Maker, God.

Like strangers, sep'rate and aside
From all the vain and worldly mass
That crowd the Babylons of pride. [Chorus]
3 He'd have us rear no stately towers,
Sink no foundation walls of stone,
But camp each night a few short hours,
And ere the morrow's dawn move on. [Chorus]
4 O brother, whatsoever chain
Binds us to fleshly lust and strife,
Here let us rend it in God's name,
And live, henceforth, the pilgrim life. [Chorus] Languages: English Tune Title: [God bids his people on the earth]

O God of Bethel, by whose hand
A race on earth, a race we run
Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: Sacred Poems and Hymns #147 (1854) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Pilgrimage of life Lyrics:
A race on earth, a race we run,
And bold a prize in view,
More bright than if we chased the sun
Through heaven's eternal blue.
151
Changes we prove, and vanish soon,--
Changes from youth to age,--
Transient as those that shape the moon
On her brief pilgrimage.
Like constellations on their way,
That meet the morning light,
We travel up to higher day,
We pass through deeper night.
Their tasks the heavenly hosts fulfil,
Ere long to shine their last;
We, if we do our Father's will,
Shall shine when they are past.
Knit like the social stars in love,
Fair as the moon, and clear
As yonder sun, enthroned above,
Christians through life appear,
Languages: English
A race on earth, a race we run
Thine eye, Lord God, alone can see
Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: Sacred Poems and Hymns #169 (1854) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Pilgrimage of life Lyrics:
Thine eye, Lord God, alone can see
The soul through every secret part;
The mystery of iniquity
Hid in the hollow of man's heart.
Myself unto myself reveal,
Light let me see in Thy pure light;
The eye of unbelief unseal,
Change doubt to faith, and faith to sight:
By inward vision to discern
The misery of my fall'n estate,
And from that sad disclosure learn
Life's hardest lesson, ere too late:--
Life's hardest lesson, but its best!
The source of all my ills to trace
Through the dark windings of my breast,
Or in the world's deceitful face.
How long, how far on pilgrimage
To Zion have I feign'd to go,
Yet went astray at every stage,
Snared or smit down by every foe!
Now, a poor way-worn traveller,
With slower speed, and failing strength
At every step I fear to err,
And be a cast-away at length.
172
Thou Light, that lightenest every one
Who toils through this bewildering path,
Shine on my soul, that I may shun
The broad, dark, downward road to wrath.
So let that narrow path be mine,
Which, level as the morning ray,
Like it, shall upward tend, and shine,
From earth's faint dawn to Heaven's full day.

Thy statutes are their song;
There, through one bright, eternal age,
Thy praises they prolong.
3 Lord, may our union form a part
Of that thrice happy whole,
Derive its pulse from Thee, the heart,
Its life from Thee, the soul.

Lead Thou me on;
The night is dark, and I am far from home;
Lead Thou me on:
Keep Thou my feet; I do not ask to see
The distant scene— one step enough for me.
2 I was not ever thus, nor prayed that Thou
Shouldst lead me on;
I loved to choose and see my path; but now
Lead Thou me on.
I loved the garish day, and, spite of fears,
Pride ruled my will: remember not past years.
3 So long Thy power hath blest me, sure it still
Will lead me on,
O'er moor and fen, o'er crag and torrent, till
The night is gone;
And with the morn those angel faces smile,
Which I have loved long since, and lost awhile.
Amen. Scripture: 2 Samuel 22:29 Tune Title: LUX BENIGNA
