A spiritual unknown to most of us

 

Don’t Be Weary, Traveler

 

Refrain

Don’t be weary, traveler; Come along home to Jesus.

Don’t be weary, traveler; Come along home to Jesus.

                   

My head is wet with midnight dew. Come along home to Jesus.

Angels bear me witness too. Come along home to Jesus.

 

Refrain

 

 

Where to go I did not know; Come along home to Jesus.

 

Ever since He freed my soul; Come along home to Jesus.

 

Refrain
