LyicsI'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.
There the sunbeams are ever shining,
I am longing for the sight;
Within a country, forlorn and dreary,
I have been wandering, alone and weary
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.
Of that country to which I'm going,
My Redeemer is the light;
There is no sorrow, nor any sighing,
Nor any sin there, nor any dying.
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.
