Meter: 9s,7s (9,7,9,7)

Weary soldiers of the cross, seek rest
With the Savior as your guide;
Lay your head upon His heav’nly breast,
And in peace e’ermore abide.

In that last sad hour, ’mid friends so dear,
Death your trembling soul will free;
And a father’s loving voice you’ll hear,
Saying, “Wand’rer, come to me.”
