Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 3 hymnals Scripture: Jeremiah 1:4-10 First Line: One day as I was walking Lyrics: 1 One day as I was walking,
Along the heavenly road,
My Savior spoke unto me,
And filled my heart with love.
Chorus:
Let us cheer the wearied traveler,
We'll cheer the wearied traveler,
Let us cheer the wearied traveler,
Along the heavenly road.
2 He chose me for his watchman,
To blow the trump of God,
And cheer the weary traveler
Along the heavenly road. [Chorus]
3 Said I unto my Savior,
My talent is but small,
And though I am a Cristian,
I am the least of all. [Chorus]
4 The cross is great and heavy,
And I am in my youth;
I fear I am not able,
To preach the Word of Truth. [Chorus]
5 Said Jesus, Lo, I'm with you,
In every trying hour;
What though you are deficient,
I am the God of power. [Chorus]
6 I took the Gospel trumpet,
And I began to blow;
And now the Lord doth help me,
I'll blow were'er I go. [Chorus]
7 Though sinners may deride me,
And slight the Savior's love,
I'll wave the Gospel banner,
All stained with hallowed blood. [Chorus]
8 I'll cry, Behold Christ bleeding,
On rugged Calvary'
O look by faith and view him,
And he will set you free. [Chorus] Used With Tune: [One day as I was walking]
Let us Cheer the Wearied Traveler
