Now let our voices join | |||
To form one pleasant song; (a) | |||
Ye pilgrims in Jehovah's ways | |||
With music pass along. | |||
How straight the path appears! | |||
How open, and how fair! | |||
No lurking spies to trap our feet, (b) | |||
No fierce destroyer there. | |||
But flowers of paradise | |||
In rich profusion spring; | |||
The Sun of glory gilds the path, | |||
And dear companions sing.}} | |||

{{Text|Simple| | |||
See Salem's golden spires | |||
In beauteous prospect rise; | |||
And brighter crowns than mortals wear, | |||
Which sparkle through the skies. | |||
All honor to His name, | |||
Who drew the shining trace, | |||
To Him, who leads the wanderers on, | |||
And cheers them with His grace. | |||
Reduce the nations, Lord; | |||
Teach all the kings their ways, | |||
That earth's full choir the notes may swell, | |||
And heaven resound the praise.}} | |||
