Whither are you go­ing,
For had not God told him, that royal abode
Day nev­er end­ing and glo­ri­ous­ly bright;
Shine in roy­al splen­dor,
Sweet it is to trust in Thee.
Gently Lord, O gent­ly lead us,
Star, star, beau­ti­ful star!
Land ahead! our home of glo­ry
For the dis­ci­ples of old.

Pilgrims

Tarry but a mo­ment,
He looked for a city; if sometimes he sighed
Faithful your vi­gil, you’ll soon find the light.
Shed thy ra­di­ance ten­der,
Dwelling in the midst of foes;
Through the tri­als yet de­creed us,
To Je­sus, to Je­sus,
Then we’ll sing the old, old sto­ry,
Regions than Ca­naan more fair;
