WE'RE PILGRIMS Sung by: Mary Frances (Mrs. G.H.) Caldwell Recorded in Pine Bluff, AR 11/10/62 Click here to listen to the original recording We're floating down the stream of time; We haven't got long to stay. The stormy clouds of darkness Will turn to brighter day And land us safely in the port With friends we've loved so dear. "Get ready," cries the captain, "Oh, look, she's almost here." Chorus: Then cheer, my brother, cheer; Our trials will soon be o'er. Our loved ones we shall meet again Upon the golden shore. We're pilgrims and we're strangers here. We're seeking a city to come. The lifeboat soon is coming To gather the jewels home. Sometimes we feel discouraged And think it's all in vain For us to live a Christian life And walk in Jesus' name, But then we hear the Master say, "I'll lend you a helping hand, And if you'll only trust me, I'll guide you to that land." (Chorus) |
