Pilgrim
by Preson Phillips

Album: Weep - He Loves the Mourners Tears

Pilgrim, burdened with thy sin,
come the way to Zion's gate.
There till mercy lets thee in:
knock, and weep, and watch, and wait.

Knock — He knows the sinner's cry.
Weep — He loves the mourner's tears.
Watch - for saving grace is nigh.
Wait till heavenly light appears.

Hark, it is the Bridegroom's voice,
"Welcome, pilgrim to thy rest!"
Now within the gates rejoice:
safe, and sealed, and bought, and blest.

Safe - from all the lures of vice.
Sealed - by signs the chosen know.
Bought - by love, and life the price
Blest the mighty debt to owe.

Holy pilgrim, what for thee
in a world like this remain?
From thy guarded breast shall flee:
fear, and shame, and doubt, and pain.

Fear - the hope of Heav'n shall fly.
Shame - from glory's view retire.
Doubt - in resurrection die.
Pain in endless bliss expire.
