Hallowed ground, hallowed ground
Handcarts moving forward on hallowed holy ground,
With heavy hearts yet full of faith,
Saints were homeward bound.
(Round)
For the cause of truth with patience trod,
For the cause of truth with patience trod,
For the cause of truth with patience trod,
Pushed by faith,
Pulled by desire,
Led by God.
Hallowed ground, hallowed ground
Where the frozen earth was thawed by fire
That warmed their frozen limbs.
Where tents were pitched for shelter
From the frigid snow and wind.
So much mourning in the morning
For those perished in the night.
A shallow grave they must be brave,
Endure with all their might.
Hallowed ground, hallowed ground
We are moving forward on hallowed holy ground,
With thankful hearts and full of faith,
For we are heaven bound.
(Round)
For the cause of truth with patience trod,
For the cause of truth with patience trod,
For the cause of truth with patience trod,
Pushed by faith,
Pulled by desire,
Led by God.
Hallowed ground, hallowed ground.
