Go on, you pilgrims.
Go on, you pilgrims, while below,
In the sure path of peace,
Determined nothing else to know
But Jesus and his grace.
2 Observe your leader, follow him;
He through this world has been
Often reviled; but like a lamb
Did ne’er revile again.
3 O! take the pattern he has given,
And love your enemies;
And learn the only way to heaven
Through self-denial lies.
4 Remember, you must watch and pray
While journeying on the road,
Lest you should fall out by the way,
And wound the cause of God.
5 Go on rejoicing night and day;
Your crown is yet before,
Defy the trials of the way,
The storm will soon be o’er.
6 Soon we shall reach the promised land,
With all the ransomed race,
And join with all the glorious band,
To sing redeeming grace.
