LyicsGo on, you pilgrims, while below,
In the sure path of peace,
Determined noting else to know
But Jesus and his grace.
Observe your leader, follow him:
He through this world has been,
Often reviled; but like a lamb,
Did ne'er revile again.
O! take the pattern he has given,
And love your enemies;
And learn the only way to heaven
Through self-denial lies.
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.
Contend for nothing but the fruit
That feeds th' immortal mind;
For fruitless leaves no more dispute,
But leave them to the wind.
Go on rejoicing night and day,
Your crown is yet before;
Defy the trials of the way,
The storm will soon be o'er.
Soon we shall reach the promised land,
With all the ransomed race,
And join with all the glorious band
To sing redeeming grace.
There shall we meet to sing God's praise,
And all his wonders tell,
And triumph in redeeming grace;
So, brethren, fare you well.
