5. Let us Cheer the Wearied Traveler

1 One day as I was walking,
Along the heavenly road,
My Savior spoke unto me,
And filled my heart with love.

Chorus:
Let us cheer the wearied traveler,
We'll cheer the wearied traveler,
Let us cheer the wearied traveler,
Along the heavenly road.

2 He chose me for his watchman,
To blow the trump of God,
And cheer the weary traveler
Along the heavenly road. [Chorus]

3 Said I unto my Savior,
My talent is but small,
And though I am a Cristian,
I am the least of all. [Chorus]

4 The cross is great and heavy,
And I am in my youth;
I fear I am not able,
To preach the Word of Truth. [Chorus]

5 Said Jesus, Lo, I'm with you,
In every trying hour;
What though you are deficient,
I am the God of power. [Chorus]

6 I took the Gospel trumpet,
And I began to blow;
And now the Lord doth help me,
I'll blow were'er I go. [Chorus]

7 Though sinners may deride me,
And slight the Savior's love,
I'll wave the Gospel banner,
All stained with hallowed blood. [Chorus]

8 I'll cry, Behold Christ bleeding,
On rugged Calvary'
O look by faith and view him,
And he will set you free. [Chorus]
