Hymn Lyrics www.traditionalmusic.co.uk - Christian Hymn Lyrics.  

All the past we leave behind 
All the past we leave behind: We take up the task eternal, and the burden, and the lesson, conquering, holding, daring, venturing, so we go the unknown ways, Pioneers! O pioneers! 
Not for delectations sweet, not the riches safe and palling, not for us the tame enjoyment; never must you be divided, in our ranks you move united, Pioneers! O pioneers! 
All the pulses of the world, all the joyous, all the sorrowing, these are of us, they are with us; we today's procession heading, we the route for travel clearing, Pioneers! O pioneers! 
On and on the compact ranks, with accessions ever waiting, we must never yield or falter, through the battle, through defeat, moving yet and never stopping, Pioneers! O pioneers! 
(1819-1892)
