As when the weary trav'ler gains
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 205 hymnals Lyrics: 1 As when the weary trav'ler 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 home his spirit cheers;
No more he grieves for troubles past,
Nor any future trials fears
So he may safe arrive at last.
