He looked for a city and lived in a tent,
Day nev­er end­ing and glo­ri­ous­ly bright;
’Tis the hour for calm de­vo­tion;
Yet up­on my path­way shone?
Shine in roy­al splen­dor,
More than friend or life to me,
Oppressed with grief and care,
Sweet it is to trust in Thee.
Guide me, O Thou gracious Savior,
Guide me, O Thou gracious Savior,
Leaning on the Everlasting Arms.
Gently Lord, O gent­ly lead us,
Star, star, beau­ti­ful star!
Waiting, waiting, O how fair!
Land ahead! our home of glo­ry
For the dis­ci­ples of old.
“Not I, but Christ” in me from hour to hour.
Then in end­less glo­ry,

Pilgrim

Tarry but a mo­ment,
Along the path of life?
God’s promise his solace, so royal his birth,
Faithful your vi­gil, you’ll soon find the light.
Though temp­ta­tions dark op­press thee,
Light is break­ing in the skies;
Shed thy ra­di­ance ten­der,
Savior, let me walk with Thee.
Thy feet are al­most there.
Dwelling in the midst of foes;
I am weak, but Thou art mighty,
I am weak, but Thou art mighty,
Leaning on the Everlasting Arms!
Through the tri­als yet de­creed us,
To Je­sus, to Je­sus,
Never such was seen before;
Then we’ll sing the old, old sto­ry,
Regions than Ca­naan more fair;
Trodden by those who glory in the Cross.
There Thy night of weep­ing
