See LYRICS



Behold a sinner, dearest Lord,
Encouraged by thy gracious Word.
Would venture near to seek that bread,
By which Thy children here are fed.

CHORUS:
Travel on, travel on to the home of the blest
Where the Savior has gone to prepare us a place
There to rest. Then we'll meet round the throne
Where the saints have a home with the Lord.

Do not the humble suit deny,
Of such a guilty wretch as I.
But let me feed on crumbs though small,
Which from Thy bounteous table fall.

CHORUS

I am a sinner Lord I own,
My sin and guilt I am undone.
Yet will I wait and plead and pray,
Since none are empty sent away.

CHORUS

Farewell vain world I'm going home,
It won't be long I'll travel on.
I hope to meet the saints above
And shout and sing redeeming love.

CHORUS
