Hymnal: The Minstrel of Zion #81 (1845) First Line: We're marching to the promised land Refrain First Line: Oh! come, and join our Pilgrim band Lyrics: 1 We're marching to the promised land,
A land all fair and bright;
Come, join our happy pilgrim band,
And seek the plains of light.
Chorus:
Oh! come, and join our Pilgrim band,
Our toils and triumphs share;
We soon shall reach the promised land,
And rest forever there.
2 The deep red sea, already cross'd,
Safe on its banks we stood;
And saw our foes--old Pharaoh's host,
Plunged in the angry flood. [Chorus]
3 The Saviour feeds his little flock;
His grace is richly given;
The living water from the rock,
And daily bread from heaven. [Chorus]
4 To Canaan's bounds he points the way,
And guides our feet aright;
A cloudy pillar leads by day,
A fiery one by night. [Chorus]
5 "Come with us, we will do thee good,"
Here is our heart and hand,
To meet you over Jordan's flood,
And share the promised land. [Chorus]
6 There in that land no tears are shed,
No sigh escapes the heart;
To joy's full fountain all are led,
And there they never part. [Chorus] Tune Title: PILGRIM BAND
