Clear before us through the darkness gleams and burns the guiding light; pilgrim clasps the hand of pilgrim stepping fearless through the night. 2 One the light of God's own presence on the ransomed people shed, chasing far the gloom and terror, bright'ning all the path we tread. One the object of our journey, one the faith which never tires, one the earnest looking forward, one the hope our God inspires. 3 One the strain that lips of thousands lift as from the heart of one; one the conflict, one the peril, one the march in God begun. One the gladness of rejoicing On the far eternal shore, where the one almighty Father reigns in love forevermore. 4 Onward, therefore, sisters, brothers; onward, with the cross our aid. Bear its shame, and fight its battle till we rest beneath its shade. Soon shall come the great awaking; Soon the rending of the tomb! Then the scatt'ring of all shadows, and the end of toil and gloom. Used With Tune: EBENEZER

Oh, sweet and blessed country That eager hearts expect, Where they who with their leader Have conquered in the fight Forever and forever Are clad in robes of white.
