LyicsGO on, you pilgrims, while below,
In the sure path of peace,
Determin'd nothing 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 giv'n,
And love your enemies;
And learn the only way to heav'n
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.
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.
