LyicsWeary pilgrim, why thy sadness?
Why 'mid sorrow's scenes decline?
The "trial strange" brings joy and gladness,
For all things shall yet be thine!
Oh, yes, all things shall yet be thine!
Earth anew, with robe of glory,
Shall rejoice in hill and vale;
And sweetest harpings tell the story
Of the love that could not fail!
Oh, yes the love that could not fail!
Thou shalt range the fields of pleasure,
Where joy's gushing songs arise;
Thou shalt have all thy well-stored treasure,
In the New Earth, Paradise!
Yes, in the New Earth, Paradise!
Weary pilgrim, leave thy sadness,
To mount Zion thou art come!
Now swell thy songs of joy and gladness,
And rejoice in thy blest home!
Thine own, and Jesus' heav'nly home!
