Come,
all
ye
mourning
pilgrims
dear,
Who'er
bound
for
Canaan's
land,
Take
courage
and
fight
valiantly,
Stand fast
with
sword
in
hand,
}
Our
Captain's
gone

us
Then,
Pilgrims
dear,
pray
do
not
fear,
Our
Father's
only
Son,
Bnt
let
us
follow
on.
Dr.
John
B.
Dyke
is
credited
in
the
books
with
having
composed
the
tune
"Pilgrim."
We
have
no
right
to
change
the
history,
yet
we
will
say
that
if
he
did
com-
pose
it,
he
did
it
when
he
was
very
young.
The
tune
was
published
in
1835
in
The
Southern
Harmony,
page
150,
and
Missouri
Harmony,
1837,
page
147.
There
is
no
doubt
but
there
is
some
mistake
about
this.
Dr.
Dyke
afterward
rearranged
the
tune.
He
was
a
great
music
composer
and
all
along
from
1830
up
to
the
time
of
his
death,
composed
a
lot
of
fine
sacred
songs,
as
well
as
many
valuable
hymns.
He
was
almost
the
equal
of
Lowell
Mason.
He
died
1876.
He
was
a
man
of
great
ability
and
influence
as
a
musician
and
minis-
ter.
