The itinerant's death

Hymnal: The Minstrel of Zion #157 (1845) First Line: The music of his steps was sought Lyrics: 1 The music of his steps was sought, His time had come, but he came not; His little ones were wont to greet The sound of his returning feet: They waited long, were waiting still, To see him hasting o'er the hill, Across the brook, and to the door, His manly face with joy spread o'er. 2 He was a faithful man of God, And in his Saviour's footsteps trod; Stern duty bade him often stray From those who near his bosom lay: But when from anxious toils return'd, Kind hearts with strong affection burn'd; The husband's and the father's voice, In every ear pour'd richest joys. 3 But ah! those ears no more shall hear That voice to wife and children dear; Those eyes of love shall never more Look on that face with joy spread o'er; Shall never see their loved one come, To cheer their hearth and bless their home: Low lies his form beneath the sod; High lives his spirit with his God. 4 Yet still they look with glistening eye, Till lo! a herald hastens nigh; He comes the tale of wo to tell, How he, their prop and glory fell; How died he in a stranger's room, How strangers laid him in the tomb, How spake he with his latest breath, And loved and bless'd them all in death.
