- 1Now let our voices join
- To raise a sacred song;
- Ye pilgrims! in Jehovah's ways,
- With music pass along.
- 2See--flowers of paradise,
- In rich profusion, spring;
- The sun of glory gilds the path,
- And dear companions sing.
- 3See--Salem's golden spires,
- In beauteous prospect, rise;
- And brighter crowns than mortals wear,
- Which sparkle through the skies.
- 4All honor to his name,
- Who marks the shining way,--
- To him who leads the pilgrims on
- To realms of endless day.
