The Weekly Encourager – November 14, 2014 – The Pilgrim's Hymn

Today I am sharing a song we're singing this Sunday evening at the National Shrine. One of the advantages of singing sacred music is that the Lord uses the melody to reinforce the words. Now I can't get this prayer out of my head! To God be the glory.

Pilgrim's Hymn

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 forever
And unto ages and ages.
Amen.

-By Michael Dennis Browne, from the opera The Three Hermits
