Art thou a pilgrim? Dost thou travel straight
By Calvary's cross, to find the narrow gate?
Is Christ thy hope, thy trust? yea, day by day
Thy guide, thy staff, thy lantern, and thy way?
Canst thou for him renounce thy worldly pride?
Is he thy riches? Is all dross beside?
Is he thy sword and shield in peril's hour?
Thy rock, thy refuge, thine abiding tower?
If with thy wealth around thee thou canst bend,
And seek with all thy soul the sinner's Friend,
A beggar still at mercy's open door—
Then art thou rich indeed; if not, then art thou poor.
