1 Still on the homeward journey, Across the desert plain, Beside another landmark, We pilgrims meet again. W meet in cloud and sunshine, Beneath a changeful sky, With calm and storm before us, As in the days gone by. 2 We meet with loving greetings, Fond wishes from the heart, As brothers often parted, And soon again to part. With tender recollections, With many a gentile tear We meet, for some are wanting; All loved ones are not here 3 Safe in the home of Jesus, With Him for ever blest How glorious is their portion, How undisturbed their rest How gladly will they greet us, When reach the better country, The father’s house, at last. 4 Thus round the silent landmark, Here on the desert plain, We pilgrims meet together, With loving hearts, again. The storm may gather round us, But Christ has gone before; We follow in his footsteps, And doubt and fear no more.
