[A] I am a pilgrim and a [D] stranger,
[G] Traveling through this [D] wearisome land.
I've got a home in that yonder [G] city, good Lord,
And [D] it's not,
[A] not made by [D] hand.
I've [A] got a mother, got a sister [D] and a brother,
Who [G] have gone this way [D] before.
I am determined to go [G] and see them, good Lord,
[D] Over on [A] that [D] other shore.
I [A] am a pilgrim and [D] a stranger,
[G] Traveling through this [D] wearisome land.
I've got a home in that yonder [G] city, good Lord,
And [D] it's not, [A] not made [D] by hand.
Now [A] I'm going down to that river [D] of Jordan,
Just [G] to bathe my [D] wearisome soul.
[A] If I can [D] just touch the hem of [G] his garment, good Lord,
Then I [D] know [A] he'll take me [D]
home.
I [A] am a pilgrim and a [D]
stranger,
[G] Traveling through this wearisome [D] land.
I've got a home in that yonder [G] city, good Lord,
And [D] it's not, [A] not made by [D]
hand.
