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.
