Oh, dear pilgrim are you troubled
By the darkness of the way?
Do your sorrows and your burdens
Fill your heart with dark dismay?
Do your toils and tears and troubles
Grieve your heart from day to day?
Does your soul in meditation
Often long to fly away?

Then, oh, listen to your Savior
As He kindly, sweetly calls,
“Come to Me, ye heavy laden,
I will take your burdens all;
Come and take My yoke upon you,
Learn of me from day to day;
Listen to My loving counsel,
I will help you all the way.”

On the road from earth to glory
Many pitfalls do abide;
Satan often darkens counsel,
And the pitfalls often hide.
“I will lead you on your journey
In your travels here below;
I will guide your feeble footsteps
Thru this vale of sin and woe.”

Thus the Savior gives His counsel
To His children here on earth,
For He loves each one so dearly
That for them He gave His life.
Then, oh, then we all should listen
To His words so kind and true,
Walk with Him and seek His presence
Day by day the journey thru.

Some sweet day we hope to see Him
In that home above the sky,
Wholly by His grace and favor,
We shall see Him by and by.
Then let's listen to His counsel,
For He too has passed this way,
And will soon return from heaven,
Then to take us home to stay.
