A Prayer for Pilgrims

"As I walked through the wilderness of this world,
I lighted on a certain place where was a den ..."
(John Bunyan)

The Pilgrim's Progress by John Bunyan is a book every Christian should read and re-read. It is rich with the gospel and filled with biblical truth. This hymn is a prayer of intercession for those who are at different stages and places in the Christian journey, based on Part 1 of Bunyan's allegory.

A Burdened Sinner


1.   Lord, we pray for those now burdened
         'Neath the weight and guilt of sin,
      Those who read Your Word and tremble
         As conviction grows within.
      Father, help us point to Jesus,
         Those who flee the coming wrath,
      That they find the gate and entrance
         To the cross, Salvation's path.

The Slough of Despond

2.   Lord, we pray for those now sinking,
         Doubting in the mire of sin,
      Though alone they vainly struggle,
         Help can bring them out again.
      Father, send Your precious Spirit,
         Lift them up on solid ground,
      Point them to each Gospel promise
         That their hope may soon abound.
