Author: J. Newton Hymnal: Light in the Valley #161 (1898) 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 Languages: English Tune Title: [As, when the weary traveler gains]
