SDA Hymnal #629
O Happy Band of Pilgrims
Topic: Pilgrimage
Lyrics
Verse 1
O happy band of pilgrims, If onward ye will tread With Jesus as your fellow, To Jesus as your Head!
Verse 2
O happy if ye labor As Jesus did for men; O happy if ye hunger As Jesus hungered then!
Verse 3
The trials that beset you, The sorrows ye endure, The manifold temptations That death alone can cure,
Verse 4
What are they but His jewels Of right celestial worth? What are they but the ladder Set up to heaven on earth?
Verse 5
O happy band of pilgrims, Look upward to the skies, Where such a light affliction Shall win you such a prize!
