Pilgrims, we march along, singing our joyous song, as through an earthly paradise. 2 Tall are the verdant trees; deep are the flashing seas; glorious each wonder the seasons bring. Brighter is faith’s surmise, shining in pilgrim eyes, from which our waking spirits spring. 3 Age after age we rise, ‘neath the eternal skies, into the light from the shadowed past: still shall our pilgrim song, buoyant and brave and strong, resound while life and mountains last.

From peak to peak it flashes, it laughs along the sky, till glory of the sunlight on all the land shall lie. 2 Above the generations the lonely prophets rise, while truth flares as the daystar within their glowing eyes; and other eyes, beholding, are kindled from that flame; and dawn becomes the morning, when prophets love proclaim. 3 The soul has lifted moments, above the drift of days, when life’s great meaning breaketh in sunrise on our ways. Behold the radiant token of faith above all fear; night shall release its splendor that morning shall appear. Used With Tune: MEIRIONYDD
