629   O Happy Band of Pilgrims




[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!
