As When The Weary Traveller Gains
The Height Of Some Overlooking Hill;
His Heart Revives, If Cross The Plains
He Eyes His Home, Though Distant Still.
While He Surveys The Much Loved Spot,
He Slights The Space That Lies Between;
His Past Fatigues Are Now Forgot,
Because His Journey’s End Is Seen.
Thus, When The Christian Pilgrim Views
By Faith, His Mansion In The Skies;
The Sight His Fainting Strength Renews,
And Wings His Speed To Reach The Prize.
The Thought Of Home His Spirit Cheers,
No More He Grieves For Troubles Past;
Nor Any Future Trial Fears,
So He May Safe Arrive At Last.
“Tis There,” He Says, “I Am To Dwell
With Jesus, In The Realms Of Day;
Then I Shall Bid My Cares Farewell,
And He Will Wipe My Tears Away.”
Jesus, On Thee Our Hope Depends,
To Lead Us On To Thine Abode;
Assured Our Home Will Make Amends
For All Our Toil While On The Road.
