250. Pilgrim, burdened with thy sin

1 Pilgrim, burdened with thy sin,
Come the way to Zion's gate;
There, till mercy speaks within,
Knock, and weep, and watch, and wait.

Chorus:
There is rest for the weary,
There is rest for the weary,
There is rest for the weary,
There is rest for you--
On the other side of Jordan,
In the sweet fields of Eden,
Where the tree of life is blooming,
There is rest for you.

2 Knock--He knows the sinner's cry;
Weep--He loves the mourner's tears;
Watch--for saving grace is nigh;
Wait, till Heavenly grace appears. [Chorus]

3 Hark! it is the Saviour's voice!
"Welcome, pilgrim, to thy rest!"
Now, within the gate, rejoice,
Safe, and owned, and bought, and blest. [Chorus]
