Hope

Author: J. Newton Appears in 205 hymnals First Line: As, when the weary traveler gains Lyrics: 1 As, when the weary traveler gains The height of some commanding hill, His heart revives, if o'er the plains, He sees his home, tho' distant still. 2 Thus, when the Christian pilgrim views By faith his mansion in the skies, The sight his fainting strength renews, And wings his speed to reach the prize. 3 The thought of heav'n his spirit cheers, No more he grieves for troubles past; Nor any future trial fears So he may safe arrive at last. 4 Jesus, on Thee our hopes we stay, To lead us on to Thine abode; Assured Thy love will far o'erpay, The hardest labours of the road. Amen. Topics: Praise Used With Tune: [As, when the weary traveler gains]
