A pilgrim through this lonely world
The blesséd Saviour passed;
A mourner all His life was He,
|:A dying Lamb at last.:|
That tender heart that felt for all,
For all its life-blood gave;
It found on earth no resting-place
|:Save only in the grave.:|
Such was our Lord; and shall we fear
The cross with all its scorn?
Or love a faithless, evil world,
|:That wreathed His brow with thorn?:]
Dead to the world, with Him who died
To win our hearts, our love,
We, risen with our risen Head,
[:In spirit dwell above.:]
No! facing all its frowns or smiles,
Like Him, obedient, still,
We homeward press through storm or calm
|:To Zion’s blesséd hill.:]
By faith His boundless glories there
Our wondering eyes behold;
Those glories which eternal years
|:Shall never all unfold.:]
---Alternative verses---
Such was our Lord; and shall we fear
The cross with all its scorn,
Or court a faithless evil world
|: That wreathed His brow with thorn? :|
No, facing all its frowns or smiles,
Like Him, obedient still,
We homeward press through storm or calm
|: To yon celestial hill. :|
