|
<p>O happy band of pilgrims,<br>
|
|
If onward you will tread,<br>
|
|
With Jesus as your Fellow,<br>
|
|
To Jesus as your Head.</p>
|
|
<p>O happy if you labor,<br>
|
|
As Jesus did for men;<br>
|
|
O happy if you hunger<br>
|
|
As Jesus hungered then.</p>
|
|
<p>The cross that Jesus carried<br>
|
|
He carried as your due;<br>
|
|
The crown that Jesus weareth<br>
|
|
He weareth it for you.</p>
|
|
<p>The faith by which you see Him,<br>
|
|
The hope in which you yearn,<br>
|
|
The love that through all troubles<br>
|
|
To Him alone will turn.</p>
|
|
<p>The trials that beset you,<br>
|
|
The sorrows you endure,<br>
|
|
The manifold temptations<br>
|
|
That death alone can cure.</p>
|
|
<p>What are they but His jewels<br>
|
|
Of right celestial worth?<br>
|
|
What are they but the ladder<br>
|
|
Set up to heaven on earth?</p>
|
|
<p>O happy band of pilgrims,<br>
|
|
Look upward to the skies,<br>
|
|
Where such a light affliction<br>
|
|
Shall win you such a prize.</p>
|
|
<p>To Father, Son, and Spirit,<br>
|
|
The God Whom we adore,<br>
|
|
Be loftiest praises given,<br>
|
|
Now and for evermore.</p>
