Sing on, ye joyful pilgrims!

1. Sing on, ye joyful pilgrims
Nor think the moments long;
My faith is heav’nward rising
With ev’ry tuneful song;
Lo! on the mount of blessing
The glorious mount! I stand,
And, looking over Jordan,
I see the promised land.

Chorus:
Sing on; oh, blissful music!
With ev’ry note you raise
My heart is filled with rapture
My soul is lost in praise:
Sing on; oh, blissful music!
With ev’ry note you raise
My heart is filled with rapture,
My soul is lost in praise.

2. Sing on, ye joyful pilgrims,
While here on earth we stay;
Let songs of home and Jesus
Beguile each fleeting day;
Sing on the grand old story
Of His redeeming love,
The everlasting chorus
That fills the realms above.

3. Sing on, ye joyful pilgrims,
The time will not be long;
Till in our Father’s kingdom
We swell a nobler song,
Where those we love are waiting
To greet us on the shore,
We’ll meet beyond the river,
Where surges roll no more.
