E1:Through the night of doubt and sor_row/on_ward goes the pil_grim band,/sing_ing songs of ex_pec_ta_tion,/march_ing to the pro_mised land./Clear be_fore us through the dark_ness/gleams and burns the guid_ing light;/pil_grim clasps the hand of pil_grim,/step_ping fear_less through the night.
E2:One the light of God's own pres_ence/o'er his ran_somed peop_le shed,/chas_ing far the gloom and ter_ror,/bright_ening all the path we tread:/One the ob_ject of our jour_ney,/one the faith which nev_er tires,/one the earn_est look_ing for_ward,/one the hope our God ins_pires:
E3:One the strain that lips of thou_sands/lift as from the heart of one;/one the con_flict, one the pe_ril,/one the march in God be_gun:/One the glad_ness of re_joic_ing/on the far et_er_nal shore,/where the one al_might_y Fa_ther/reigns in love for ev_er_more.
E4:On_ward, there_fore, Chris_tian pil_grims,/on_ward with the cross our aid;/bear its shame, and fight its batt_le,/till we rest be_neath its shade./Soon shall come the great a_wak_ing,/soon the rend_ing of the tomb;/then the scat_tering of all sha_dows,/and the end of toil and gloom./
