O how blest to be a pilgrim, Guided by the Father's hand; Free at last from ev'ry burden We shall enter Canaan's land. Refrain Songs of vict'ry there shall greet us, Like the thund'ring of a mighty flood, Endless praises be to Jesus, Who redeemed us by his blood! On this side of Jordan's river, Sighs too deep for words are known, But we look for bright tomorrows In Jerusalem our home. Refrain There no clouds of darkness gather, Neither sorrow, tears, nor woe, Nothing harmful e'er shall enter, Sin and pain we will not know. Refrain Here from loved ones we are parted, Earthly sorrows never cease, But within that glorious city We shall meet again in peace. Refrain O may none give up the journey, Left in darkness on the shore, May we all at last be gathered When our pilgrimage is o'er. Refrain
