Whither, pilgrims, are you going
“Come thou with us, and we will do thee good” Num. 10:29
1.
Whither, pilgrims, are you going
Going each with staff in hand
We are going on a journey
Going at our King’s command
Over hills and plains and valleys
We are going to His palace
We are going to His palace
Going to the better land
We are going to His palace
Going to the better land
2.
Tell us, pilgrims, what you hope for
In that far off, better land?
Spotless robes and crowns of glory
From a Saviour’s loving hand
We shall drink of life’s clear river
We shall dwell with God for ever
We shall dwell with God for eve
In that bright, that better land
We shall dwell with God for ever
In that bright, that better land
3.
Pilgrims, may we travel with you
To that bright and better land
Come and welcome, come and welcome
Welcome to our pilgrim land
Come, oh, come! And do not leave us
Christ is waiting to receive us
Christ is waiting to receive us
In that bright, that better land
Christ is waiting to receive us
In that bright, that better land
Amen
