Sojourners' Songs

"Thy statutes have been my songs in the house of my pilgrimage" (Psalm 119:54).

The pilgrim passing through this land
For heaven's shoreline longs,
And statutes of our Lord's command
Comprise sojourners' songs.

These are the songs that dwell on things
Where Christ now reigns above.
These are the songs the pilgrim sings,
Rejoicing in His love.

These are the songs that fill the hearts
Of all who have adored
The Lamb of God who now imparts
Salvation from the Lord.

O Lord, as we're sojourning through
The paths of peace or strife,
The songs we sing rejoice in You,
The Way, the Truth, the Life!
