Pilgrim press on, lift up your heart
as a fragrant offering before our God.
Pilgrim press on, be steadfast and strong,
with eyes fixed on Christ, we run the race that’s set before us
Pilgrim, press on, press on to Zion
though trials rise higher than the hills, He has drawn nearer still
For the path to which He calls us is the hope to which He draws us
He will not leave us or forsake us; He goes before us and He is with us
So pilgrim, press on, don’t lose heart
Pilgrim press on, make known all he’s done
until every tribe and tongue gives glory to the Son
Pilgrim press on, through labor and loss
until all the world beholds the glory of the cross
Pilgrim, press on, press on to Zion
though trials rise higher than the hills, He has drawn nearer still
For the path to which He calls us is the hope to which He draws us
He will not leave us or forsake us; He goes before us and He is with us
So pilgrim, press on, don’t lose heart
Pilgrim press on, eyes on the horizon
we pass through death’s valley to possess a better country
Pilgrim press on, fresh courage take
don’t fear the night, for soon the morning light will break
Pilgrim, press on, press on to Zion
though trials rise higher than the hills, He has drawn nearer still
For the path to which He calls us is the hope to which He draws us
He will not leave us or forsake us; He goes before us and He is with us
So pilgrim, press on, don’t lose heart; Pilgrim, press on, don’t lose heart.
