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 in this country so dark and dreary,
I long have wandered forlorn and weary. [Refrain]
3 There’s the city to which I journey;
My Redeemer, my Redeemer is its light!
There is no sorrow, nor any sighing,
Nor any tears there, or any dying. [Refrain] Topics: Early Advent Tune Title: [I'm a pilgrim, and I'm a stranger]
