Hexatonic, mode 2 A (I II 3 IV V — 7)
Good morning, brother pilgrim, What, bound for Canaan’s coast?
March you to Jerusalem To join the heav’nly host?
Pray, wherefore are you smiling, While tears run down your face?
We soon shall cease from toiling And reach that heav’nly place;
And reach that heav’nly place,
We soon shall cease from toiling And reach that heav’nly place.
To Canaan’s coast we’ll hasten, to join the heavenly throng;
Hark, from the banks of Jordan, how sweet the pilgrims’ song!
