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!
