HYMN 129. Saints Pilgrims on Earth.
Heb. 11.13. They confessed they were Strangers and Pilgrims on the Earth.
1 Lord, we are Pilgrims on the Earth, As all our Fathers were; For this is not our dwelling-place, No 'biding for us here.
1 LOrd, we are Pilgrims on the Earth, As all our Fathers were; For this is not our dwelling-place, No 'biding for us here.
2 As Pilgrims go up hill and down, And meet with troubles do; So, Lord, thy Saints, while they are here, Do many sorrows know.
