In ev­ery time and place
Who serve the Lord most high,
Are called His so­ver­eign will to em­brace,
And still their own de­ny;
To follow His com­mand,
On earth as pil­grims rove,
And seek an un­dis­co­vered land,
And house, and friends above.

Father, the nar­row path
To that far coun­try show;
And in the steps of Ab­ra­ham’s faith
Enable me to go,
A cheer­ful so­journ­er
Where’er Thou bidd’st me roam,
Till, guid­ed by Thy Spir­it here,
I reach my hea­ven­ly home.
