{{Vs|1}} O happy band of pilgrims, | |||
If onward ye will tread | |||
With Jesus as your Fellow | |||
To Jesus as your Head! | |||
{{Vs|2}} O happy if ye labour | |||
As Jesus did for men; | |||
O happy if ye hunger | |||
As Jesus hungered then! | |||
{{mdl|4}} | |||
{{Vs|3}} The cross that Jesus carried | |||
He carried as your due; | |||
The crown that Jesus weareth, | |||
He weareth it for you. | |||
{{Vs|4}} The faith by which ye see him, | |||
The hope in which ye yearn, | |||
The love that through all troubles | |||
To him alone will turn, | |||
{{mdl|4}} | |||
{{Vs|5}} What are they but forerunners | |||
To lead you to his sight? | |||
What are they save the effluence | |||
Of uncreated light? | |||
{{Vs|6}} The trials that beset you, | |||
The sorrows ye endure, | |||
The manifold temptations | |||
That death alone can cure, | |||
{{mdl|4}} | |||
{{Vs|7}} What are they but his jewels | |||
Of right celestial worth? | |||
What are they but the ladder | |||
Set up to heaven on earth? | |||
{{Vs|8}} O happy band of pilgrims, | |||
Look upward to the skies, | |||
Where such a light affliction | |||
Shall win you such a prize! | |||
