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