Refrain: Tramp, tramp, tramp, tramp, tramp, tramp, tramp, Tramp, tramp, tramp, tramp, What a fearful, ghastly throng; Rouse, Christian, rouse ere it be too late, Rescue these souls from the drunkard’s fate. 2 Tramp, tramp, tramp, to a drunkard’s doom, Out of boyhood pure and fair, Over the thoughts of love and home, Past the check of a mother’s prayer, Onward and swift to a drunkard’s crime, Over the pleas of the wife and child Over the holiest ties of time, Reason lost, and soul gone wild. [Refrain] 3 Tramp, tramp, tramp till a drunkard’s grave Hides the broken life of shame, While souls that Jesus has died to save Meet a future we dare not name; God help us all—there’s a cross to bear, And work to do for the mighty throng; God give us strength, till the toil and prayer Shall give place to the victor’s song.

Bought with pang, and tear and sigh, Turn and live; why will ye die? Bought with pang, and tear and sigh, Turn and live; why will ye die? 3 Broken hearted, weep no more; Far from consolation flying; He who calls hath felt thy wound, Seen thy weeping, heard thy sighing; Bring thy broken heart to me; Welcome off’ring it shall be; Streaming tears and bursting sighs, Mine accepted sacrifice; Streaming tears and bursting sighs, Mine accepted sacrifice.
