Lyrics
- Whither, pilgrims, are you going,
Going each with staff in hand?
- We are going on a journey,
Going at our King’s command.
Over hills and plains and valleys,
We are going to His palace,
Going to the better land.

- Tell me, pilgrims, what you hope for
In that far-off, better land.
- Spotless robes and crowns of glory
From a Savior’s loving hand.
We shall drink of life’s clear river,
We shall dwell with God forever,
In that bright and better land.

- Pilgrims, may we travel with you
To that bright, that better land?
- Come and welcome, come and welcome,
Welcome to our pilgrim band.
Come, O come, and do not leave us,
Christ is waiting to receive us
In that bright, that better land.
