happy little pilgrims

happy little pilgrims,
we should ne’er be sad;
for the love of jesus
makes his children glad.

refrain

happy little pilgrims,
going on our way,
to a land of beauty,
singing all the day.

in that land so lovely,
everything is bright,
there will be no sorrow,
there will be no night.

refrain

not alone we journey
to the mansions fair;
jesus is our shepherd;
he will lead us there.
