Brothers, will you go with me

Representative Text

1 Brothers will you go with me,
We shall live so happily,
Marching to the Happy Land,
Singing as we go.

Chorus:
We're a cheerful pilgrim band,
Marching to the Happy land,
Marching to the Happy land,
Singing as we go.

2 Sisters will you still delay?
There are flowers along the way.
Come, the Saviour's call obey,
Children come to me. [Chorus]

3 Say not we're a gloomy band,
Songs and laughter we command,
Smiling faces, gentle words
All the happy day. [Chorus]

4 Happy they who in their youth,
Learn to love the way of Truth;
Truth and temperance friends of all,
Bless the happy day. [Chorus]

5 Go then with this chosen band,
Marching to the Happy Land,
There with rapture you may stand,
Praise evermore. [Chorus]
