I’m not sure the limitations of a blog, but I came across the words to a very old hymn and they touched me. At the moment I’m trying to piece together a kinda new song using these words. I hope you like them!! 

Through the night of doubt and sorrow onward goes the pilgrim band

Singing songs of expectation marching to the promise land

Clear before us through the darkness gleams and burns the guiding light

Brother clasp the hand of brother stepping fearless through the night

One the light of Gods own presence o’re His ransomed people shed

Chasing far the gloom and terror brightening all the path we tread

One the object of our journey one the faith which never tires

One the earnest looking forward one the hope our God inspires

One the strain that lips of thousand lift as from the heart of one

One the conflict one the peril one the march in God begun

One the gladness of rejoicing one the far eternal shore

Where the one almightily father reigns in love forever more

Onward therefore pilgrim brothers onward with the cross our aid

Bear its shame and fight its battle ’till we rest beneath its shade

Soon shall come the great awaking soon the rending of the tomb

Then the scattering of all shadows and the end of toil and gloom

Through the night of doubt and sorrow onward goes the pilgrim band
