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;
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,
What are they but the heralds
- To lead you to his sight?
What are they save the effluence
- Of uncreated light?
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.}}
