about

The Pilgrim Fathers are about to leave England for the New Land with hope in their hearts and dreaming of a wonderful future. They weren’t to know.

lyrics

Farewell to Boston and our home
Farewell to all we now hold dear
Yet safe in God’s hands we can say
Farewell to tribulations here.
There is a place where we can dwell
In freedom though our trials be great
We’ll leave this plot of ill-content
For the Promised Land
Where God awaits.

So come with us, O pure of heart
Freedom of worship is our cry
And God will bless
The children of the fathers
In the new land,
In the new land by and by.

And cross the water we must go
Through tempest, storm
And flood and fright
‘Gainst mortal death we have no fear
Secure in the hope of eternal life.
As Pilgrims we will mercy find
Though our faith be as a grain of sand
And God will wipe our tears away
When we get to the Promised Land.

So come with us…

For we will not bow down and serve
The false church in its
Wayward ways
The devil finds words
For wilful tongues
And leads the weaker souls astray
And though we are but sinful men
We keep God’s truth and righteousness
And scorn your vain ungodly ways
And go where our zeal for the Lord
Will be blessed.

So come with us…

America is the soil for our seed;
It will flourish, come what may
And we will reap a harvest of
Salvation at the end of days.

So come with us…
