| Text: | I'm a pilgrim, and I'm a stranger |
| Tune: | PILGRIM |
1 I’m a pilgrim, and I’m a stranger;
I can tarry, I can tarry but a night.
Do not detain me, for I am going
To where the fountains are ever flowing.
I’m a pilgrim, and I’m a stranger;
I can tarry, I can tarry but a night.
2 There the glory is ever shining;
I am longing, I am longing for the night,
Here in this country so dark and dreary
I have been wandered forlorn and weary,
I'm a pilgrim, and I’m a stranger;
I can tarry, I can tarry but a night.
3 There’s the city to which I journey;
My Redeemer, my Redeemer is its light;
There is no sorrow, nor any sighing,
There is no sin there, nor any dying.
I’m a pilgrim, and I’m a stranger;
I can tarry, I can tarry but a night.
