We are pil­grims of a day,
Homeward bound, home­ward bound;
Singing on our cheer­ful way,
We are home­ward bound.

Refrain

Onward, up­ward still, O ye hope­ful pil­grims;
Forward, fear no ill, yon­der is our home;
We jour­ney, hand in hand,
To Ca­naan’s hap­py land;
O come, ye friends and neigh­bors,
And join the pil­grim band.

We are hap­py in the Lord,
Trav’ling on, tra­v’l­ing on;
Trusting in His ho­ly Word,
We are tra­v’l­ing on.

Refrain

Sin and sor­row here be­low,
Soon will end, soon will end;
In the land to which we go,
Toil and care will end.

Refrain

Working all the way along,
Rest will come, rest will come;
Lighten work with pray­er and song,
Blessèd rest will come.
