Sing on, ye joyful pil­grims,
Nor think the mo­ments long;
My faith is heav’n­ward 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.

Refrain

Sing on, O bliss­ful music!
With ev­ery note you raise,
My heart is filled with rap­ture,
My soul is lost in praise;
Sing on, O bliss­ful mu­sic!
With ev­ery note you raise,
My heart is filled with rap­ture,
My soul is lost in praise.

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,
The ev­er­last­ing chor­us
That fills the realms above.

Refrain

Sing on, ye joy­ful pil­grims,
The time will not be long,
Till in our Fa­ther’s king­dom
We swell a nob­ler song;
Where an­gels there are wait­ing
To greet us on the shore,
We’ll meet be­yond the ri­ver,
Where surg­es roll no more.
