Hymn

ENGLISH LYRICS: Whither, pilgrims, are you going

Come thou with us, and we will do thee good. Num. 10:29

1.  Whither, pilgrims, are you going,
    Going each with staff in hand?
    We are going on a journey,
    Going at our king's command,
    Over hills and plains and valleys,
    We are going to His palace,
    We are going to His palace
    Going to the better land;
    We are going to His palace
    Going to the better land

2. Tell us, pilgrims, What you hope for
    In that far-off, better land?
    Spotless robes, and crowns of glory
    From a Saviour's loving hand,
    We shall drink of life's clear river,
    We shall dwell with God for ever,
    We shall dwell with God for ever,
    In that bright, that better land
    We shall dwell with God for ever,
    In that bright, that better land.

3. Pilgrims, may we travel with you
    To that bright and better land?
    Come and welcome, come and welcome
    Welcome to our pilgrim land.
    Come, oh, come! And do not leave us,
    Christ is waiting to receive us,
    Christ is waiting to receive us,
    In that bright, that better land,
    Christ is waiting to receive us,
    In that bright, that better land.

Amen.
