The Pilgrim's Lot.

1 How happy is the pilgrim's lot,
I am bound for the land of Canaan,
How free from ev'ry anxious thought,
I am bound for the land of Canaan,
O Canaan! bright Canaan!

I am bound for the land of Canaan,
O Canaan, it is my happy home,
I am bound for the land of Canaan.

2 Nothing on earth I call my own,
I am bound for the land of Canaan,
A stranger to the world unknown,
I am bound for the land of Canaan,
O Canaan, &c.

3 I trample on the whole delight,
I am bound for the land of Canaan,
And seek a city out of sight,

I am bound for the land of Canaan,
O Canaan, &c.

4 There is my house and portion fair,
I am bound for the land of Canaan,
My treasure and my heart are there,
I am bound for the land of Canaan,
O Canaan, &c.

5 For me my elder brethren stay,
I am bound for the land of Canaan,
And angels beckon me away,

I am bound for the land of Canaan,
O Canaan, &c.

We're trav'ling home to Heav'n above-Will you
To sing the Sa-vior's dy-ing love

Will you

blest abode, Anoint-ed kings and priests to God.

We're going to see the bleeding Lamb,-Will you go? In rapturous strains to praise his name,-Will you go? The crown of life we there shall wear,

The conqueror's palms our hands shall bear, And all the joys of heaven we'll share,-Will you go?

3

We're going to join the Heavenly Choir,-Will you go? To raise our voice and tune the lyre,-Will you go? There saints and angels gladly sing,

Hosanna to their God and King,

And make the heavenly arches ring,-Will you go?

Ye weary, heavy laden, come, -Will you go?
In the blest house there still is room,-Will you go?
The Lord is waiting to receive,

If thou wilt on him now believe,

He'll give thy troubled conscience ease,-Come believe!

5

The way to Heaven is free for all-Will you go?
For Jew and Gentile-great and small,-Will you go?
Make up your mind, give God your heart,

With every sin and idol part,

And now for glory, make a start,—Come away!

6

The way to Heaven is strait and plain,—Will you go?
Repent, believe, be born again,--Will you go?

The Savior cries aloud to thee,

"Take up thy cross and follow me," And thou shalt my salvation see,-Come to me!

7

O, could I hear some sinner say,—I will go?
I'll start this moment, clear the way,-Let me go!

My old companions, fare you well,

I will not go with you to hell,

I mean with Jesus Christ to dwell,-Let me go! Fare you

[6]

Swell.

I am bound for the kingdom, Will you go to glory with me.

Hal-lelujah, O Hallelujah, I'm bound for the kingdom, will

you go to glory with me,Hallelujah,O praise ye the Lord.

11 Christ may leave you, Just 22 You'll repent it, So soon.
