Of bright eternal day,

O help me on my way,
Lord, help me on my way;
Reach forth thy kind and loving hand,
And help me on my way.

Have pierc’d my bleeding feet,
But I will journey till I reach
The city’s golden street. [Refrain]

From sin and sorrow free,
And, in the presence of my Lord,
Forever blessed be. [Refrain]

If thou wilt walk with me,
For I shall sing my pilgrim song,
And ever joyful be. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [I journey to a better land]
