Sing on, ye joyful pilgrims, Nor think the moments long ; My faith is heavenward rising With every tuneful song ! Lo ! on the mount of blessing, The glorious mount, I stand, And, looking over Jordan, I see the promised land !
Sing on : oh, blissful music ! With every note you raise My heart is filled with rapture, t My soul is lost in praise ! Sing on : oh, blissful music ! With every 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 â 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 sing 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.
