1 [Girls]
Pilgrims we are to Canaan bound,
Our journey lies along this road;

[Boys]
This wilderness we travel round,
To reach the city of our God.

Chorus [All]:
O happy pilgrims, spotless fair,
What makes your robes so white appear.

[Girls]
Our robes are wash'd in Jesus' blood
And we are traveling home to God.

2 A few more days, or weeks, or years,
In this dark desert to complain;
A few more sighs, a few more tears,
And we shall bid adieu to pain. [Chorus]

3 O blessed land! O happy land!
When shall we reach thy golden shore?
And one redeemed, unbroken band
United be for evermore. [Chorus]

4 And it our robes are pure and white,
May we all reach that blest abode?
O yes, they all shall dwell in light
Whose robes are washed in Jesus' blood. [Chorus]

5 We all shall reach that golden shore
If here we watch, and fight, and pray;
Straight is the way, and straight the door,
And none but pilgrims find the way. [Chorus]

6 O may we meet at last above
Amid the holy blood-washed throng,
And sing for ever Jesus' love,
While saints and angels join the song. [Chorus]
