88. OUR PILGRIM WAY

Previous
Next

​Author:  Karl Philipp Spitta (1801-1859)​
​Composer:  Carl Ferdinand Becker (1804-1877)​

1. Be our journey and our way
    Of temptations full;
    Be our earthly pilgrimage
    But an humbling school,
    Yet we are of joyful mind,
    Trusting not thereon
    What ourselves we do or find,
    But that Christ is strong.
 
2. Of this we are confident
    And we hold it fast,
    That the Lord, though heavens rend,
    Keeps us to the last.
    Though our strength so oft indeed
    Threatens to take wing,
    We keep faith, there is no need,
    We still have our King.
 
3. He that water for His own
    Out of rocks did bring,
    And the food for prophet lone
    Sent on raven’s wing;
    He who with few fish and bread
    Multitudes did feed,
    Has He not, when all is said,
    Help in ev’ry need?
 
4. He who in His tender care
    Holds the world and all,
    And without whose will no hair
    From our head may fall;
    To whom great is not too great,
    Small is not too small,
    Could He really come too late,
    Or not heed our call?
 
5. He that opened heavens, hath
    Out of such great love,
    For us plainly marked the path
    To the realms above;
    He who keeps that home prepared,
    Would He e’er allow
    Those for whom He surely cared
    All to perish now?
 
6. Nay, that shall not be our lot,
    God is ever kind;
    Keeps His promise, breaks it not,
    Comforts heart and mind,
    Though you may see trouble nigh –
    Pilgrim, do not fear,
    Look in faith to God on high
    For your help is near!

Special thanks to the Apostolic Christians who diligently labored to keep their rich musical heritage alive when most other denominations forsook it in the challenging battle of changing cultures.
​
Thanks be to those souls who labored to write and compose this treasure of praise, many now only known to GOD!

Above all, thanks, praise, and glory be to GOD!
