Text:Come all ye weary travellers

LXIV. Come all ye weary travellers

1 Come all ye weary travellers,
Come let us join and sing
The everlasting praises
Of Jesus Christ our King;
We've had a tedious journey,
And tiresome it is true;
But see how many dangers
The Lord has brought us through.

2 At first when Jesus found us,
He call'd us unto him;
And pointed out the danger
Of falling into sin;
The world, the flesh and Satan,
Would prove a fatal snare;
Unless we did reject them,
By faith and humble pray'r;

3 But by our disobedience,
With sorrow we confess,
We had too long to wander,
In a dark wilderness;
Where we might soon have fainted,
In that enchanted ground;
But now and then a cluster
Of pleasant grapes we found.

4 The pleasant fruits of Canaan,
Gives life and joy and peace;
Revives our drooping spirits,
And faith and love increase:
Confess our Lord and master,
And run at his command;
And hasten on our Journey,
Unto the promis'd land.

5 In faith and hope and patience,
We now are going on,
The pleasant way to Canaan,
Where Jesus Christ is gone:
In peace and consolation,
We're going to rejoice;
And Jesus and his people,
Forever be our choice.

6 Sinners why stand ye idle,
While we do march along;
Has conscience never told you,
That you are going wrong.
Down the broad road to ruin,
To bear an endless curse?
Forsake your ways of sinning,
And come and go with us.

7 But if you will refuse it,
We bid you all farewell;
We're on the road to Canaan
And you the way to hell;
We're sorry for to leave you,
We rather you would go;
Come, try a bleeding Saviour,
And feel salvation flow.

8 O sinners be awaken'd
To see your dismal state;
Repent and be converted,
Before it is too late:
Turn to the Lord by praying,
And daily search his word;
And never rest contented,
Until you find the Lord.

8 Now to the King immortal
Be everlasting praise,
For in his holy service
We long to spend our days;
Till we arrive at Canaan,
The celestial world above,
With everlasting praises,
To sing redeeming love.
