Hymn #629
O Happy Band of Pilgrims
Lyrics
Verse 1
O happy band of pilgrims,
If onward ye will tread
With Jesus as your fellow,
To Jesus as your Head!
Verse 2
O happy if ye labor
As Jesus did for men;
O happy if ye hunger
As Jesus hungered then!
Verse 3
The trials that beset you,
The sorrows ye endure,
The manifold temptations
That death alone can cure,
Verse 4
What are they but His jewels
Of right celestial worth?
What are they but the ladder
Set up to heaven on earth?
Verse 5
O happy band of pilgrims,
Look upward to the skies,
Where such a light affliction
Shall win you such a prize!
