I have the sheet music for "Press Along Weary Pilgrim" if anyone wants it. foxygrandma7@yahoo,com

I know how to help you on this. I know these dear singers personally, and am in camp meeting with some of their children this week!

CAN ANYONE TELL ME HOW I CAN PURCHASE THE ALBUM BY THE EVENING LIGHT SINGERS THAT INCLUDES THE SONG PRESS ALONG WEARY PILGRIM, OR A COPY OF THIS ALBUM.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH,
REJOICE IN THE LORD ALWAYS, N.W.

verse 1
Press along weary pilgrim thru the struggles and strivfe
To that beautiful city beyond
Thru the paths of disappointment thru the cares of this life
Press along weary pilgrim, press on.
chorus
Press along (press along weary pilgrim) weary pilgrim (press along weary pilgrim)
Press along thru the shadows of night (press thru shadows of night)
Press along (press along weary pilgrim) weary pilgrim ( press along weary pilgrim)
To the city where faith ends in sight (where faith ends in sight)
Look above (look above to the portals) to the portals(look above to the portals)
Ever praying, ever singing a song (ever singing a song) Press along press along weary pilgrim) Press along weary pilgrim, press on (press on pilgim, press on).
verse 2
Press along weary pilgim tho the path way be dim
Soon the sorrows of life will be done
Jesus leadeth like a shepherd, put your whole faith in him
Press along weary pilgrim, press on.
verse 3
Press along weary pilgrim to the home of the soul
Where no partings or sorrow shall come
Where we'll all know one another and shall never grow old
Press along weary pilgrim, press on.

Hope this is the one you want.
Shirley

If you go to 2:03 in this video you will hear a local church singer

This song was occasionally played on Family Radio in the mid 80s. It was sung by The Evening Light Singers. The overlapping harmonies and melodies were quite beautiful.

I have that song on an old recording of my grandparents, did yoiu ever find the title of the song?

I don't think that I can edit my entry so I am posting additional information in the form of a reply. Thank you, Steve, for the welcome and kind help in your post. I will try to piece out a bit more of the hymn here:

Press along weary plgrim
Through your troubles and strifes
To the Beautiful City above (maybe beyond is the word)
Through the paths of disappointment
Through the cares of this life
Press along weary pilgrim, press on

Perhaps this might help jog someone's memory. It is not a very common hymn and I don't think it is terribly old either.
Thanks again!

I am looking for the (hopefully complete) lyrics for this song. I believe it is in the Hymnal entitled "Church Hymnal" #146. Thank you! ~Laurie Duffy
