Through the night of doubt and sorrow Onward goes the pilgrim band Singing songs of expectation Marching to the promised land One, the object of our journey One, the faith which never tires One, the earnest looking forward One, the hope our god inspires Clear before us through the darkness Gleams and burns the guiding light; Pilgrim clasp the hand of pilgrim Stepping through that fearless night One, the object of our journey One, the faith which never tires One, the earnest looking forward One, the hope our god inspires One the gladness of rejoicing On the far eternal shore Where the one almighty father Reigns in love for evermore One, the object of our journey One, the faith which never tires One, the earnest looking forward One, the hope our god inspires Soon shall come the great awakening Soon the rending of the tomb; Then the scattering of all shadows And the end of toil and gloom One, the object of our journey One, the faith which never tires One, the earnest looking forward One, the hope our god inspires One, the object of our journey One, the faith which never tires One, the earnest looking forward One, the hope our god inspires
