Seek the things before us, Not a look behind.

Burns the firey pillar At our army's head;

Who shall dream of shrinking? By our Captain led?

Forward through the desert, Thro' the toil and fight!

Jordan flows be fore us; Zion beams with light,
Glories upon glories Hath our God Prepared

By the Souls that love him One day to be shared;

Eye hath not beheld them, Ear hath never heard;

Nor or these hath uttered Thought or speech a word.

Forward marching eastward, Where heaven is bright,

Till the veil be lifted, Till our faith be sight,
Far o'er yon horizon Rise the city towers,

Where our God abideth:That fair home is ours.

Flash the streets with jasper, Shine the gates with gold!

Flows the gladening river, Shedding joys untold;

Thither, on thitherm In the Spirit's might,

Pilgrims, to your country, Forward into light Amen.
