The Pilgrim’s Journey

lyricist: Fanny Crosby, 1868
Composer: Howard Doane

Slow to an­ger

full of kind­ness

Rich in mer­cy

Lord

Thou art

Wash me in Thy heal­ing fount­ain

Take away my sin­ful heart.

I would go the pil­grim’s jour­ney

Onward to the pro­mised land;

I would reach the gold­en ci­ty

There to join the an­gel band.

Thou wilt nev­er

nev­er leave me

If I give my­self to Thee

Teach

O teach me how to praise Thee

Tell me what my life should be.

May Thy ev­er gra­cious Spir­it

Lead me in the way of truth

May I learn the voice of wis­dom

In the ear­ly days of youth.

O! how sweet to rest con­fid­ing

On Thy Word that can­not fail

Strong in Thee

what­e’er my tri­als

Through Thy grace I must pre­vail.
