I'm a Pilgrim, and I'm a Stranger
Author: Mrs. M. S. B. Dana Hymnal: The New Christian Hymnal #314 (1929) Meter: 9.11.10.10 with refrain Lyrics: 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;
O my longing heart, my longing heart is there;
Here is this country, so dark and dreary,
I long have 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 sinning, nor any sighing,
Nor any tears there, nor any dying.
I'm a pilgrim, and I'm a stranger;
I can tarry, I can tarry but a night.

Mary Dana Shindler
1810 - 1883 Person Name: Mary S. B. Dana Author of "I'm a pilgrim, and I'm a stranger" in The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book Shindler, Mary Stanley Bunce, née Palmer, better known as Mrs. Dana, was born in Beaufort, South Carolina, Feb. 15, 1810. In 1835 she was married to Charles E. Dana, of New York, and removed with him to Bloomington, now Muscatine, Iowa, in 1838. Mr. Dana died in 1839, and Mrs. Dana returned to South Carolina. Subsequently she was married to the Rev. Robert D. Shindler, who was Professor in Shelby College, Kentucky, in 1851, and afterwards in Texas. Mrs. Shindler, originally a Presbyterian, was for some time an Unitarian; but of late years she has been a member of the Protestant Episcopal Church. As Mary S. B. Dana she published the Southern Harp, 1840, and the Northern Harp, 1841. From these works her hymns have been taken, 8 of which are in T. O. Summers's Songs of Zion, 1851. The best known are:—
1. Fiercely came the tempest sweeping. Christ stilling the storm. (1841.)
2. I'm a pilgrim, and I'm a stranger. A Christian Pilgrim. (1841.)
3. O sing to me of heaven. Heaven contemplated. (1840.) Sometimes given as "Come, sing to me of heaven." [Rev. F. M. Bird, M.A.]
-- John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology (1907)

Anonymous
Person Name: Anon. Author of "I'm a Pilgrim" in Pentecostal Hymns Nos. 3 and 4 Combined In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.
