Weep--he loves the mourner's tears,

Watch--for saving grace is nigh,

Wait--till heavenly grace appears.

2Hark, it is thy Saviour's voice!

"Welcome, pilgrim, to thy rest."

Now within the gate rejoice,

Safe, and owned, and bought and blest--

Safe--from all the lures of vice,

Owned--by joys the contrite know,

Bought--by love and life the price,
