Pilgrims On, the Day Is Dawning
Pilgrims, on! the day is dawning
Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #848 (1886) 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 desert waste,
Though the way is dark and dreary,
Life's sharp anguish must be borne;
Courage, then, ye faint and weary,
Linger not to weep and morn.
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, through joy and sorrow,
Or whatever may betide,
Wait not for the calm to-morrow,
Faithful at your work abide.
3 Pilgrims, on! what though 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, 'twere sweet to toil in sadness,
O, 'twere well the cross to bear,
If, at last in joy and gladness,
We may rest forever there! Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Tune Title: ONWARD

Author: Anon. Hymnal: Christ in Song #642 (1908) 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,

Linger not to weep and mourn.
2 Pilgrims on! the storm is beating,

Wait not for the calm tomorrow,
Faithful at your work abide.

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!

Anonymous
Person Name: Anon. Author of "Pilgrims, on! the day is dawning" in The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.
