1 Take thy staff and journey onward: Look beyond this vale of tears; Far above its gloomy shadows, Lo! thy Father's smile appears. Chorus: There's a home weary pilgrim, There's a home weary pilgrim, There's a home weary pilgrim, There is rest for you and me. 2 Haste thee on! the day is waning; Watch and work with all thy might, Lest the evening close upon thee Ere thou reach the mountain height. 3 Speed thee on! through toil and danger, God will bring thee on thy way; More and more thy faith increasing, To the light of perfect day. 4 Run the Christian race before thee; Lay aside thy weight of care; Reaching forward, pressing onward, Win the crown 'tis thine to wear. 5 Yonder lie the fields of glory, Just beyond the narrow sea. Pilgrim, haste, thy strength renewing; There thy home, thy rest shall be.
