Pilgrim, Watch and Pray

Verse 1

Softly, on the breath of evening, Comes the tender sigh of day; Lonely heart, by sorrow laden, 'Tis the time to pray.

Chorus

Weary pilgrim, cease thy mourning, Weary pilgrim, cease thy mourning, Rest beyond forever.

Verse 2

'Tis the hour when hallowed feelings Chase our doubts and fears away; 'Tis the hour for calm devotion; Pilgrim, watch and pray.

Verse 3

Tho' temptations dark oppress thee, Jesus guides thee on thy way; He will hear thy lightest whisper; Pilgrim, watch and pray.
