Hymnal: Joy to the World #204 (1879) First Line: Softly, on the breath of evening Refrain First Line: Weary pilgrim, cease thy mourning Lyrics: 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.
2 'Tis the hour when hallowed feelings
Chase our doubts and fears away;
'Tis the hour for calm devotion;
Pilgrim, watch and pray. [Chorus]
3 Tho' temptations dark oppress thee,
Jesus guides thee on thy way;
He will hear thy lightest whisper;
Pilgrim, watch and pray. [Chorus] Languages: English Tune Title: WATCH AND PRAY
