The Traveler 108b
Tune: Arranged by Absalom Ogletree, 1868
Alto: Wilson Marion Cooper, 1902
Meter: 7s (7,7,7,7)
Trav’ler haste, the night comes on,
Many a shining hour is gone;
Storm is gath’ring in the West,
And you are so far from home.
Chorus:
O come, trav’ler, haste away,
You must walk while it is day;
O come, trav’ler, haste away,
You will find in Christ the way.
Far from home thy footsteps stray;
Christ the life and Christ the way,
Christ the light, yon setting sun,
Ere the noon is scarce begun.
(Chorus)
