Hymn 385
Whither, pilgrims, are you going
- 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. } 2ce
- 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 ever,}
In that bright, that better land.}2ce
- Pilgrims, may we travel with you
To that bright and better land?
'Come and welcome, come and welcome.
Welcome to our pilgrim band.
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.}2ce
