Here We Are But Straying Pilgrims

Author: Isaac Newton Carman Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #10357 Refrain First Line: Yonder over the rolling river Lyrics: 1 Here we are but straying pilgrims; Here our path is often dim; But to cheer us on our journey, Still we sing this wayside hymn: Refrain: Yonder over the rolling river, Where the shining mansions rise, Soon will be our home for ever, And the smile of the blessèd Giver Gladdens all our longing eyes. 2 Here our feet are often weary On the hills that throng our way; Here the tempest darkly gathers, But our hearts within us say: [Refrain] 3 Here our souls are often fearful Of the pilgrim’s lurking foe; But the Lord is our defender, And He tells us we may know: [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [Here we are but straying pilgrims]
