HODIE GLORIOSUM! (A PILGRIMAGE SONG FOR PRIDE)

Let pilgrims from across the sphere
Come together without fear
On this day
Let young and old, hale or infirm
Their joy and pleasure to affirm
On this glorious day

This day, this day,
Loud sing this glorious day
When pilgrims from all walks of life
Set aside their cares and strife
On this glorious day

Let poets with their lively verse
Tell wonders of the universe
On this day
With pipe and drum, let mummers play
Let voices sing a roundelay
On this glorious day

This day, this day,
We sing this glorious day
When pilgrims come from far and near
Brimming all with goodly cheer
On this glorious day

Along the pilgrim's path be strife
With thorns and snags, the way is rife
On this day
Tho hateful foes may rise again
Love is still love, and love will win
On this glorious day

This day, this day,
Come sing this glorious day
When pilgrims set their quarrels aside
And celebrate the feast of Pride
On this glorious day
