A pilgrim through this lonely world
Sir Edward Denny • English
Primary Scripture: Matthew 10:25
Verse 1
A pilgrim through this lonely world, The blessed Saviour passed; A mourner all his life was he, A dying Lamb at last.
Verse 2
That tender heart that felt for all, For all its life-blood gave; It found on earth no resting-place, Save only in the grave.
Verse 3
Such was our Lord; and shall we fear The cross, with all its scorn? Or love a faithless, evil world, That wreathed his brow with thorn?
