Pilgrims here on earth and strangers,
‘Neath a weary load we bend,
O how sweet mid toils and dangers,
Still have a heavenly friend!
|: Christ has suffer’d; :|
And to suff’rers grace will send.
To the shameful cross they nailed him,
And that cross became his throne:
To the tomb they laid and sealed him,
Lo, the Godhead bursts the stone;
|: And, ascending, :|
Claims all empire as his own.
Saviour, from thy heavenly glories
Here an eye of mercy cast;
Make our path still plain before us,
Smooth the wave, and still the blast.
|: Thou has help’d us; :|
Bear us safely home at last.
---Alternative verses---
Pilgrims here on earth and strangers,
With our weary load we bend,
O how sweet 'mid toils and dangers,
Still have a heavenly friend!
|: Christ has suffer’d; :|
And to suff’rers grace will send.
