Text: | The Pilgrim's journey |
Author: | Fanny Crosby |
Tune: | [Slow to anger, full of kindness] |
Composer: | W. H. Doane |
1 Slow to anger, full of kindness,
Rich in mercy, Lord thou art,
Wash me in thy healing fountain,
Take away my sinful heart.
Chorus:
I would go the pilgrim's journey,
Onward to the promised land;
I would reach the golden city,
There to join the angel band.
2 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. [Chorus]
3 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. [Chorus]
4 Oh! how sweet to rest confiding,
On thy word that cannot fail,
Strong in Thee whate'er my trials,
Through thy grace I must prevail. [Chorus]
