Author: Hans Henry Petersen, 1835–1909 Hymnal: Hymns of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints #121 (1985) Lyrics: 1. I’m a pilgrim, I’m a stranger
Cast upon the rocky shore
Of a land where deathly danger
Surges with a sullen roar,
Oft despairing, oft despairing,
Lest I reach my home no more.
2. Misty vapors rise before me.
Scarcely can I see the way.
Clouds of darkest hue hang o’er me,
And I’m apt to go astray
With the many, with the many
That are now the vulture’s prey.
3. O my Father, I entreat thee,
Let me see thy beck’ning hand;
And when straying, may I meet thee
Ere I join the silent band.
Guide me, Father, guide me, Father,
Safely to the promised land. Topics: Guidance; Plan of Salvation; Prayer and Supplication; Supplication; Trials Scripture: Hebrews 11:13-16 Languages: English Tune Title: [I’m a pilgrim, I’m a stranger]
