Pilgrims on a Journey

(we sang this poem in Woman's Chorus this semester)

We are pilgrims on a journey
And companions on the road;
We are here to help each other
Walk the mile and bear the load.

I will hold the Christ-light for you
In the night-time of your fear;
I will hold my hand out to you,
Speak the peace you *long to hear.

I will weep when you are weeping,
When you laugh I'll laugh with you;
I will share your joy and sorrow
'Til we've seen this journey through.

When we sing to God in heaven
We shall find such harmony,
Born of all we've known together
Of Christ's love and agony.

Sister/Brother let me be your servant,
Let me be as Christ to you;
Pray that I may have the grace
To let you be my servant too.
-Richard Gillard

*the original word at this part was want, but we changed it to long
At the sister/brother, we sang sister because it is Woman's Chorus, but both can be applied because the poem applies to both genders.
