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. Topics: The Christian Life Pilgrimage Languages: English Tune Title: I'M A PILGRIM

I'm a pilgrim, and I'm a stranger

Author: Mrs. S. B. Dana Hymnal: International Song Service #145 (1895) 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; I am longing, I am longing for the sight; Here in this country, so dark and dreary, I have been wand'ring forlorn and weary.

1846 - 1945 Person Name: Geo. C. Stebbins Composer of "[I'm a pilgrim and I'm a stranger]" in Sacred Songs No. 2 Stebbins studied music in Buffalo and Rochester, New York, then became a singing teacher. Around 1869, he moved to Chicago, Illinois, to join the Lyon and Healy Music Company. He also became the music director at the First Baptist Church in Chicago. It was in Chicago that he met the leaders in the Gospel music field, such as George Root, Philip Bliss, & Ira Sankey.

Around 1900, Stebbins spent a year as an evangelist in India, Egypt, Italy, Palestine, France and England. (www.hymntime.com/tch)

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.

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) =================== Shindler, Mary S. B., p. 1055, i. Other hymns usually attributed to this writer, are "Prince of Peace, control my will" (Perfect Peace), in the Church of England Magazine, March 3, 1858, in 32 lines; and " Once upon the heaving ocean" (Jesus calming the Sea). --John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology, Appendix, Part II (1907)
