Pilgrims for Jesus we are happy and free.
Because we're bound for regions of everlasting song.
Serving him fully gives us full victory.
So leave your sorrows and come along.
Why should the children of God be sad?
Oh let us lift up our voices in happy jubilee.
Things are not bad my brother.
Leave your sorrows and come along with me.
Nothing could cause us to turn back in the race.
Because we're bound for regions of everlasting song (and story)
Jesus abundantly supplies us with grace.
(So brother) Leave your sorrows and come along.
Why should the children of God be sad?
Oh let us lift up our voices in happy jubilee.
Things are not bad my brother.
Oh brother leave your sorrow and come along with me.
