Come ye whose willing feet
Pursue the heavenly road,
Thus let us often meet
To bless our King and God,
And seek the grace to travel on,
Till all appear before his throne.
Nearer, and nearer still,
We to our country come,
To the celestial hill
Where we shall be at home;
The new Jerusalem above,
The seat of everlasting love.
The ransomed sons of God,
Earth’s idols let us scorn,
As to our high abode
We joyfully return;
And still with growing strength proceed,
Where God the Spirit deigns to lead.
The peace and joy of faith
Each moment we may feel,
Since saved from sin and death,
From sorrow and from hell,
We to our Father’s house repair,
To meet our loved Redeemer there.
Our Saviour, Prince, and Head,
Our all in all is He,
‘Tis in his steps we tread,
His face we soon shall see;
Glory to God! then pain is done;
For earth is passed, and heaven is won.
