[Verse 1]
Come weary traveller, fix your hope
Upon your journey's end,
When unrestrained, His grace will pay
For every labour spent.
[Verse 2]
Though now you toil, soon shall you rest;
Though now you must contend,
You soon shall be forever blessed
Upon your journey's end.
[Verse 3]
See Christ, His journey's end in mind,
Ascending Calvary's hill;
For heaven's joy endured the cross
And bears your burdens still;
[Verse 4]
See perfect love and innocence
By all the world condemned;
Yet gladly there He walked that you
Might reach your journey's end.
[Chorus]
Praise to the God of grace!
O what a sure and glorious hope!
He all our strength and praise
As we make our journey home.
[Verse 5]
What storms you'll weather, trials endure,
Lie far beyond your sight;
Yet anxious traveller, rest secure:
You'll soon be raised with Christ!
[Verse 6]
He walks with you through fearful days,
Your sure and faithful friend;
And soon you'll see His smiling face
Upon your journey's end.
[Chorus]
Praise to the God of grace!
O what a sure and glorious hope!
He all our strength and praise
As we make our journey home.
[Verse 7]
Come weary traveller, fix your hope
Upon your journey's end;
When crowds of angels cheer you home,
And God himself descends:
[Verse 8]
'My good and faithful servant, come.
You journeyed long and hard;
Now everlasting joy is yours.
My child, you're home at last.'
[Chorus]
Praise to the God of grace!
O what a sure and glorious hope!
He all our strength and praise
As we make our journey home.
[Outro]
'My good and faithful servant, come.
You journeyed long and hard;
Now everlasting joy is yours.
My child, you're home at last.'

Song Meaning
This hymn-like piece addresses the weary traveler directly, urging a fixed gaze on the final destination rather than the present hardships. The opening lines set the tone, calling the listener to anchor hope in the end of the journey, where grace will settle every account. The middle verses pivot to Christ's own journey to Calvary, portraying his endurance of the cross as the means by which our burdens are carried and our arrival secured. The chorus erupts in praise to the God of grace, celebrating a hope that is both sure and glorious. Later verses acknowledge the storms and trials that lie ahead, yet counter anxiety with the promise of being raised with Christ and the assurance of his constant companionship. The song culminates in a vivid scene of angelic welcome and the voice of God himself, echoing the commendation of the faithful servant and the final declaration of being home at last. It is a sustained meditation on perseverance, divine accompaniment, and the ultimate reward of eternal rest.
