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?
