O Happy Band of Pilgrims
Author: Joseph the Hymnographer; John M. Neale Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 183 hymnals Lyrics: 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.

Henry J. Gauntlett
1805 - 1876 Person Name: H. J. Gauntlett Composer of "[O happy band of pilgrims]" in Select Sunday School Songs Henry J. Gauntlett (b. Wellington, Shropshire, July 9, 1805; d. London, England, February 21, 1876) When he was nine years old, Henry John Gauntlett (b. Wellington, Shropshire, England, 1805; d. Kensington, London, England, 1876) became organist at his father's church in Olney, Buckinghamshire. At his father's insistence he studied law, practicing it until 1844, after which he chose to devote the rest of his life to music. He was an organist in various churches in the London area and became an important figure in the history of British pipe organs. A designer of organs for William Hill's company, Gauntlett extendÂed the organ pedal range and in 1851 took out a patent on electric action for organs. Felix Mendelssohn chose him to play the organ part at the first performance of Elijah in Birmingham, England, in 1846. Gauntlett is said to have composed some ten thousand hymn tunes, most of which have been forgotten. Also a supporter of the use of plainchant in the church, Gauntlett published the Gregorian Hymnal of Matins and Evensong (1844).
