Pilgrims' Hymn

Stephen Paulus (b. 1949)

 

Even before we call on Your name
To ask You, O God,
When we seek for the words to glorify You,
You hear our prayer;
Unceasing love, O unceasing love,
Surpassing all we know.

Glory to the Father,
And to the Son,
And to the Holy Spirit.

 

Even with darkness sealing us in,
We breathe Your name,
And through all the days that follow so fast,
We trust in You;

Endless Your grace, O endless Your grace,
Beyond all mortal dream.

Both now and for ever,
And unto ages and ages,
Amen.
