Hymn/Song Information

Onward ye pilgrims that journey to Zion

Onward, ye pilgrims
that journey to Zion,
Sing and be joyful, whatever betide;
Trust in Jehovah,
your Lord and your Shepherd,
All that is needed His love will provide.

Think of the promise,
the soul cheering promise,
Left to encourage
the young and the old,
They shall draw water
from wells of salvation,
Beautiful promise,
more precious than gold.

Onward, ye workers,
that toil in the vineyard,
Bearing the burden
and heat of the day;
Never grow weary,
but labor with patience,
Heed not the thorns
that are strewn in your way.

Think of the promise,
the soul cheering promise,
Left to encourage
the young and the old,
They shall draw water
from wells of salvation,
Beautiful promise,
more precious than gold.

Ye that are thirsty
and faint in the desert,
Come to the wells
of salvation so free;
Drink of their waters,
their life giving waters;
Come, there’s a welcome
for you and for me.

Think of the promise,
the soul cheering promise,
Left to encourage
the young and the old,
They shall draw water
from wells of salvation,
Beautiful promise,
more precious than gold.

You who are nearing
the valley and shadow,
Looking by faith to
the bright golden shore,
Precious to you are
the wells of salvation,
Sweeter their waters than ever before.

Think of the promise,
the soul cheering promise,
Left to encourage
the young and the old,
They shall draw water
from wells of salvation,
Beautiful promise,
more precious than gold.
