Tune: | [Onward, pilgrim, don't delay] |
Composer: | Geo. C. Hugg |
1 Onward, pilgrim, don’t delay;
Go rejoicing on the way
Rising higher ev’ry day,
While trav’ling up to Zion.
Refrain:
Going up higher, going up higher,
Higher up to Zion;
Going up higher, higher, higher,
To the city of our God.
2 In the way mark’d out of old,
Follow line of duty bold;
Then each danger you behold,
Will prove a chained lion. [Refrain]
3 Each step forward, up or down,
Met by scorn, rebuke, or frown,
Brings us nearer to the crown
We shall receive in Zion. [Refrain]
4 Sorrows and afflictions meet;
Dangers threaten, trials greet;
Fear not! Jesus guides the feet,
And points the way to Zion. [Refrain]
5 On the mount His praise prolong;
Pass the gloomy vale with song;
Richest blessings ever throng
The pilgrim’s way to Zion. [Refrain]
