English text

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, Going to the better land.

2  Fear ye not the way so lonely, You a little, feeble band? No, for friends unseen are near us, Holy angels round us stand; Christ, our Leader, walks beside us; He will guard, and he will guide us, Guide us to the better land.

3  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, In that bright and better land.

4  Pilgrims, may we travel with you To that bright and better land? Come and welcome, come and welcome, Welcome to our pilgrim band. Come, O come, and do not leave us; Christ is waiting to receive us In that bright and better land.
