Not a home, on earth , O pilgrim,
Always patient , meek and wild,
And Thy life a guiltless victim,
Worship all, this Sacred Child.
Walking with Him all day
Jesus my light that shines through the night,
Always with him through trials in sight,
Walking with him all day
Rather have Him than pleasures of sin,
Rather have Him all day.
Thou didst come to earth as Saviour,
Thou wast sent in poverty,
Thou wast man but great Creator,
Tainted not with vanity.
Throne in Heaven , on earth a stable,
Christ doth teach humility,
Lives have changed but truth is stable,
Thus unveiling mystery.
Thine a cross on earth a captive,
Made the cross a victory,
Thou didst make Thy death redemptive,
Oh, what fragrant memory.
He's the Way, the key to Heaven,
Now the door is open wide,
Christ exalted , truth is proven,
I with Him will e'er abide.
