I am a pilgrim

Alt. mel:



1. I am a pilgrim and a stranger,
trav´ling through this wearisome land.
I got a home in that yonder city,
good Lord,
and it´s not made, not made by hand.

2. I got a mother, a sister and brother,
who have gone to that sweet land.
I´m determined to go and see them,
good Lord,
all over that distant shore.

3. As I go down to that river Jordan,
just to bathe my weary soul,
if I could touch but the hem of His garment,
good Lord,
well, I believe it would make me whole.
