As When The Weary Traveler Gains

Author: John Newton Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 205 hymnals Lyrics: 1 As when the weary traveler gains The height of some o’erlooking hill; His heart revives, if cross the plains He eyes his home, though distant still. 2 While he surveys the much loved spot, He slights the space that lies between; His past fatigues are now forgot, Because his journey’s end is seen. 3 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. 4 The thought of home his spirit cheers, No more he grieves for troubles past; Nor any future trial fears, So he may safe arrive at last. 5 Tis there, he says, I am to dwell With Jesus, in the realms of day; Then I shall bid my cares farewell, And He will wipe my tears away. 6 Jesus, on Thee our hope depends, To lead us on to Thine abode; Assured our home will make amends For all our toil while on the road.
