The Pilgrim's Prayer

Soon our days will be over And to our home we’ll cross over Slow and steady we strive each day Oh lord our God be our guide we pray Sin and self will always arise Sword and staves seldom chastise ‘Tis to scare us to succumb to sin Oh lord our God immunize us without, within Stronger and stronger becomes our foe And agile in seasons to bring us into woe Our soul before our foes seems like an ant Oh lord our God make us in you a giant Each day on the way seems so hard For foes and furnace wants to burn our ID card Days and night the hostile hunter seeks our soul Oh lord our God keep us till we reach our goal
