Pilgrim Stranger

Author: C.A. Tindley, D.D. Hymnal: Soul Echoes #1 (1909) Hymnal Title: Soul Echoes First Line: Go, ye humble pilgrim stranger Lyrics: 1. Go, ye humble pilgrim stranger, Thro' this world of woe, He is, though so meek and lowly, More than all beside. Don't forget that God above you, Hath a gracious heart, He will never cease to love you, Or to take your part. 2. If your way is dark and lonely, He will be your guide, He is, though so meek and lowly, More than all beside. When the world in arms assail you, And your courage fail, Let Him fight your battle for you, And you will prevail. 3. When discouraged and forsaken, Run to Him in pray'r, Never has been one o'er-taken, Who resorted there. When the storms of life are beating, Hard upon your head, God will hide you, He is pleading, "Be ye not afraid." 4. If you choose to find a stranger, Put Him in the way, Tell him how to flee the danger, While it is called day. Tell him there's a precious fountain, Flowing free for all, Jesus Christ, on Calvary's mountain, Paid for Adam's fall. 5. Tell him that above a brother There's a Savior's love, If on earth he has no other, There's a Friend above. If he needs your help and kindness, Don't withhold your hand, Always of this be reminded, He's your fellow man. Languages: English Tune Title: [Go, ye humble pilgrim stranger]

Charles Albert Tindley

1851 - 1933 Hymnal Title: Beams of Heaven Author of "Go, ye humble pilgrim stranger (Pilgrim stranger)" in Beams of Heaven Charles Albert Tindley was born in Berlin, Maryland, July 7, 1851; son of Charles and Hester Tindley. His father was a slave, and his mother was free. Hester died when he was very young; he was taken in my his mother’s sister Caroline Miller Robbins in order to keep his freedom. It seems that he was expected to work to help the family. In his Book of Sermons (1932), he speaks of being “hired out” as a young boy, “wherever father could place me.” He married Daisy Henry when he was seventeen. Together they had eight children, some of whom would later assist him with the publication of his hymns. Tindley was largely self-taught throughout his lifetime. He learned to read mostly on his own. After he and Daisy moved to Philadelphia in 1875, he took correspondence courses toward becoming a Methodist minister. He did this while working as a sexton (building caretaker) for the East Bainbridge Street Church. Beginning in 1885, he was appointed by the local bishop to serve two or three-year terms at a series of churches, until coming full circle to become pastor at East Bainbridge in 1902. Under his leadership, the church grew rapidly. They relocated in 1904 to the East Calvary Methodist Episcopal Church, then again in 1924 to the new Tindley Temple, where the membership roll blossomed to about ten thousand. Tindley was known for being a captivating preacher, and for also taking an active role in the betterment of the people in his community. His songs were an outgrowth of his preaching ministry, often introduced during his sermons. Tindley was able to draw people of multiple races to his church ministry; likewise, his songs have been adopted and proliferated by white and black churches alike. The songs of Charles Tindley were published cumulatively in two editions of Soul Echoes (1905, 1909) and six editions of New Songs of Paradise (1916-1941). His wife Daisy died in 1924, before the completion of the Tindley Temple. He remarried in 1927 to Jenny Cotton. Charles A. Tindley died July 26, 1933.
