That Journey Onward

"O Lord God, You have only begun to show

Your servant Your greatness and Your mighty hand;

for what god is there in heaven or on earth that

can do according to Your works,

according to Your might?

Deuteronomy 3:24

Moses Sees The Promised Land From Afar

James Jacques Joseph Tissot

(1836-1902)

Onward, ye pilgrims that journey to Zion,

Sing and be joyful, whatever betide;

Trust in Jehovah, your Lord and Your Shepherd,

All that is needed His love will provide.

(Refrain)

Think of the promise, the soul cheering promise,

Left to encourage the young and old,

They shall draw water from the wells of salvation,

Beautiful promise, more precious than gold.

Onward, ye workers, that toil in the vineyard,

Bearing the burdens and heat of the day;

Never grow weary, but labor with patience,

Heed not the thorns that are strewn in your way.

Ye that are thirsty and faint in the desert

Come to the wells of salvation so free;

Drink of their waters, their life giving waters;

Come there's a welcome for you and me.

You who are nearing the valley and shadow,

Looking by faith to the bright golden shore,

Precious to you are the wells of salvation,

Sweeter their waters than ever before.

The Landing of the Pilgrims

Henry Percy Moran

(1862-1935)

"But thanks be to God, Who in Christ always leads us

in triumph, as trophies in Christ's victory and through us

spreads and makes evident the fragrance of the

knowledge of God everywhere."

2 Corinthians 2:14
