Trav’lers to a better land,
On we go, on we go;
There we’ll join the blood-wash’d band,
Onward let us go;
Here we have not long to stay,
On we go, on we go,
Jesus Christ has led the way,
Onward let us go.

Trials there shall be no more,
On we go, on we go;
Perfect rest forevermore,
Onward let us go;
Here we often meet defeat,
On we go, on we go,
There we’ll sit at Jesus feet,
Onward let us go.

Earthly joys shall pass away,
On we go, on we go;
Earthly treasures shall decay,
Onward let us go;
Hearts that here were sometimes sad,
On we go, on we go,
Shall be there forever glad,
Onward let us go.

Dearest friends have gone before,
On we go, on we go;
Others, now are passing o’er,
Onward let us go;
When at last we cross death’s sea,
On we go, on we go,
Glorified we then shall be,
Onward let us go.
