WEARY TRAVELER
Let us cheer the weary traveler
Cheer the weary traveler.
Let us cheer the weary traveler
Along the heav-en-ly way.
Verse 1
I'll take my gospel trum-pet,
And I'll be-gin to blow,
And if my Sav-ior helps me,
I'll blow whe-ev er I go.
Verse 2
And if you meet with cross-es,
And tri-als along the way,
Just keep your trust in Je-sus
And don't for-get to pray.
Verse 3.
If you can-not sing like Angels,
If you can-not pray like Paul,
You can tell the love of Je-sus
And say He died for all.
Pg. 17

Verse 1
O, look up yonder what I see
I'm on my jour-ney home,
Bright an-gels com-ing af-ter me,

Verse 2
If you get there be-fore I do
Look after me I'm coming too,
Verse 3
O hal-le-lu-jah to the Lamb!
King Je-sus died for ev-ery man,
