The pilgrim that journeys all day
 (Sung text for setting by W. Jackson)
 Matches base text
Language: English 
The pilgrim that journeys all Day
To visit some far distant Shrine,
If he bear but a Relic away,
Is happy nor heard to repine.

Thus widely remov'd from the Fair,
Where my Vows my Devotion I owe,
Soft Hope is the Relic I bear,
And my Solace where ever I go.

Composition:

    Set to music by William Jackson (1730 - 1803), "The pilgrim that journeys all day", published [1797] [ vocal duet for two voices and continuo ], from Twelve canzonets, for two voices, no. 6, London, Harrison
