Text:Pilgrim, is thy journey drear?
Tune:[Pilgrim, is thy journey drear?]

138. Pilgrim, is thy journey drear?

1 Pilgrim, is thy journey drear?
Are its lights extinct forever?
Still suppress the rising fear,
God forsakes his children never,
Never, no, never, never, no, never.

2 Storms may gather round thy path;
All the ties of life may sever;
Still amid the fears of death;
God forsakes his children never,
Never, no, never, never, no, never.

3 Pain may rack the wasting frame;
Health desert thy couch forever;
Faith still burns with deathless flame.
God forsakes his children never,
Never, no, never, never, no, never.
