Wake not, dear pilgrim, this sleeper
His time is not yet come
He’s not been caught by the reaper
The reaper’s caught by him
He’ll prove that his love runs deeper
Than all of Hell’s despair
All of mankind’s sins are cheaper
Than his crucified gift
The peak of his heart is steeper
Than death’s ravenous throat
He will be his brother’s keeper
And has adopted us
