Representative Text

1 Take thy staff, O pilgrim,
Haste thee on thy way;
Let the morrow find thee
Farther than today.

2 If thou seek the city
Of the golden street,
Pause not on the pathway,
Rest not weary feet.

3 In the heavenly journey,
Press with zeal along
Resting will but weary,
Running make thee strong.
