Author: Mary S. Shindler Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #2921 First Line: I'm a pilgrim, and I'm a stranger Refrain First Line: I'm a pilgrim, and I'm a stranger 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.
Refrain
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;
Oh, 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, nor any dying. [Refrain]
4. Farewell, neighbors, with tears I’ve warned you,
I must leave you, I must leave you and be gone!
With this your portion, your heart’s desire,
Why will you perish in raging fire? [Refrain]
5. Father, mother, and sister, brother!
If you will not journey with me, I must go!
Now since your vain hopes you will thus cherish,
Should I, too, linger, and with you perish? [Refrain]
6. Farewell, drear earth, by sin so blighted,
In immortal beauty soon you’ll be arrayed;
He who has formed thee will soon restore thee,
And then the dread curse shall nevermore be. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: BUONO NOTTE
