LyicsPilgrim, the vision before thee is glorious,
The earth shall allure thy tried spirit no more:
Thou wast in the day of thy trial victorious,
Secure now at last, thy temptations are o'er.
Hard was the strife, but the strong One in battle
Has been thy defender, and vanquish'd thy foes;
And Heaven stood by thee to help thee in trouble,
And joy'd when the sound of thy triumph arose.
High was the anthem those raptures revealing,
Ten thousand celestials the chorus prolong;
But louder the strains of the ransom'd are pealing,
And glory is swelling the conqueror's song!
