EN 5627 O Happy Band of Pilgrims
1Pet.2.11
Versi Version 1
1
O happy band of pilgrims,
If onward you will tread,
With Jesus as your Fellow,
To Jesus as your Head.
2
O happy if you labor,
As Jesus did for men;
O happy if you hunger
As Jesus hungered then.
3
The cross that Jesus carried
He carried as your due;
The crown that Jesus weareth
He weareth it for you.
4
The faith by which you see Him,
The hope in which you yearn,
The love that through all troubles
To Him alone will turn.
5
What are they but forerunners
To lead you to His sight?
What are they save the effluence
Of uncreated Light?
6
The trials that beset you,
The sorrows you endure,
The manifold temptations
That death alone can cure.
7
What are they but His jewels
Of right celestial worth?
What are they but the ladder
Set up to heaven on earth?
8
O happy band of pilgrims,
Look upward to the skies,
Where such a light affliction
Shall win you such a prize.
9
To Father, Son, and Spirit,
The God Whom we adore,
Be loftiest praises given,
Now and for evermore.
