Come Let Us Anew Our Journey Pursue – Hymn Lyric
Come, let us anew
Our journey pursue,
With vigour arise,
And press to our permanent place in the skies:
Of heavenly birth,
Tho’ wand’irng on earth,
This is not our place,
But strangers and pilgrims ourselves we confess.
At Jesus’ call,
We give up our All;
And still we forego,
For Jesus’s sake, our enjoyment below:
No longing we find
For the country behind;
But onward we move,
And still we are seeking a country above.
A country of joy
Without any alloy,
We thither repair,
Our heart and our treasure already are there.
We march hand in hand
To Immanuel’s land;
No matter what cheer
We meet with on earth, for eternity’s near!
The rougher our way,
The shorter our stay;
The tempests that rise
Shall gloriously hurry our souls to the skies:
The fiercer the blast,
The sooner ’tis past;
The troubles that come,
Shall come to our rescue, and hasten us home.
Meaning of Come Let Us Anew Our Journey Pursue
Have you ever felt like you don’t quite belong here on earth? Like you’re just passing through, on your way to a better place? Well, that’s exactly what the hymn “Come Let Us Anew Our Journey Pursue” is all about. It reminds us that this world is not our permanent home, but rather a temporary stop on our way to something much greater.
Just like travelers on a long journey, we are called to press on with vigor and determination towards our ultimate destination a place in the skies, where we belong. It may feel like we’re wandering here on earth, but deep down we know that our true home is somewhere beyond this world. And that knowledge gives us the strength to keep moving forward, no matter what obstacles we may face along the way.
When we hear Jesus calling us to follow Him, we willingly give up everything our comforts, our possessions, our desires because we know that the joy and peace awaiting us in that heavenly country far outweigh anything we could ever find here on earth. And so, hand in hand, we march towards Immanuel’s land, knowing that our hearts and treasures are already waiting for us there.
It’s true that the journey may not always be easy. There will be rough patches, storms to weather, and challenges to overcome. But each trial we face only brings us closer to our ultimate destination. The tougher the road, the shorter our time here. The fiercer the storm, the sooner we’ll be in the presence of our Savior.
So, let’s not be discouraged by the difficulties we encounter along the way. Instead, let’s see them as opportunities to grow stronger, to deepen our faith, and to hasten our journey towards that glorious country above. With every step we take, with every trial we endure, we are one step closer to our eternal home.
So, my friends, let’s take heart and keep pressing on. Let’s remember that we are just passing through this world, on our way to something far greater. And let’s look forward with hope and anticipation to the day when we will finally reach our heavenly destination. For eternity is near, and our journey is well worth pursuing.
