The sun, the dusty soil,
The haggard face made through toil,
The cracked lips, and scarred feet
Describes a pioneer, you will meet
The snow, the frozen ground,
The frost bit face makes no sound
The starved lips and numb feet
Describes a pioneer, you will meet
The stars, a rock to rest
Over the place where prayers blessed
The soul who no more went
But to heaven that night was sent
The moon, the wolves in throng
The sounds of their haunting song
The Saints sing and stand strong
Towards Zion... they journey on
haggard: looking very thin and tired especially from great hunger, worry, or pain.
The haggard face made through toil,
The cracked lips, and scarred feet
Describes a pioneer, you will meet
The snow, the frozen ground,
The frost bit face makes no sound
The starved lips and numb feet
Describes a pioneer, you will meet
The stars, a rock to rest
Over the place where prayers blessed
The soul who no more went
But to heaven that night was sent
The moon, the wolves in throng
The sounds of their haunting song
The Saints sing and stand strong
Towards Zion... they journey on
