rob gardner - a poor wayfaring man of grief كلمات أغنية

a poor, wayfaring man of grief
hath often crossed me on my way
who sued so humbly for relief
that i could never answer nay
i had not pow’r to ask his name
whereto he went, or whence he came;
yet there was something in his eye
that won my love; i knew not why
stripped, wounded, beaten nigh to death
i found him by the highway side
i roused his pulse, brought back his breath
revived his spirit, and supplied
wine, oil, refrеshment__he was healеd
i had myself a wound concealed
but from that hour forgot the smart
and peace bound up my broken heart
in pris’n i saw him next, condemned
to meet a traitor’s doom at morn
the tide of lying tongues i stemmed
and honored him ‘mid shame and scorn
my friendship’s utmost zeal to try
he asked if i for him would die
the flesh was weak; my blood ran chill
but my free spirit cried, “i will!”
then in a moment to my view
the stranger started from disguise
the tokens in his hands i knew;
the savior stood before mine eyes
he spake, and my poor name he named
“of me thou hast not been ashamed
these deeds shall thy memorial be;
fear not, thou didst them unto me.”
