Words

Sing, ye redeemed of the Lord,Your great deliverer sing;Pilgrims for Zion's city bound,Be joyful in your King, be joyful in your King.

See the fair way his hand hath rais'd ;How holy, and how plain!Nor shall the simplest trav'lers err,Nor ask the track in vain, nor ask the track in vain.

No rav'ning lion shall destroy,No lurking serpent wound;Pleasure and safety, peace and praise,Thro' all the path are found, thro'all the path are found.

A hand divine shall lead you on,Thro' all the blissful road,'Till to the sacred mount you rise,And see your smiling God, and see your smiling God.

About this hymn

As printed Millennial Harp (1843), Part II, printed p. 68 (PDF 144). Three staves (Treble, Second Treble — **the melody** —, and Bass); C major, 2/2, three systems, 15 measures. The hymn fills the page: the four stanzas are printed between the staves, spread over the three interlinear spaces (stanza 1 under the top staff, stanza 2 under the middle staff, stanzas 3 and 4 under the bass). All voices sing the same words. The hymnal prints no metre; the stanzas are 8.6.8.6 (C. M.), and the music repeats the second half of the last line.
