¶Lyrics / Text

O happy band of pilgrims, if onward ye will tread with Jesus as your fellow to Jesus as your Head. O happy if ye labour as Jesus did for men; O happy if ye hunger as Jesus hungered then. The cross that Jesus carried he carried as your due: the crown that Jesus weareth he weareth it for you. The faith by which ye see him, the hope in which ye yearn, the love that through all troubles to him alone will turn, the trials that beset you, the sorrows ye endure, the manifold temptations that death alone can cure, what are they but his jewels of right celestial worth? what are they but the ladder set up to heaven on earth? O happy band of pilgrims, look upward to the skies, where such a light affliction shall win so great a prize.
