Appears in 13 hymnals First Line: Say, whither, wandering stranger Lyrics: 1 “Say, whither, wandering stranger, Ah! whither dost thou roam? O’er this wide world a ranger, Hast thou no friend, no home?” “Yes, I’ve a Friend who never Is absent from my side; And I’ve a home wherever In peace I shall abide.” 2 “But want and woe have driven The roses from thy cheek; And garments rent and riven, Thy poverty bespeak.” “I’ve food with which the angels Would all delighted be; And robes of dazzling brightness Are now awaiting me.” 3 “Come, then, benign inquirer, And join me on my way; I’m journeying to a country Where beams an endless day; Where saints and angels, falling Before the great, white throne, To you, to me are calling, Haste, pilgrim, hasten home.” Used With Tune: [Say, whither, wandering stranger]
