Hymn Chords

444. I’m a Pilgrim

G                        D
I’m a pilgrim, and I’m a stranger;

      G            D     D7    G
I can tarry, I can tarry but a night;

          D                 G
Do not de-tain me, for I am going

             D             A    D
To where the fountains are ever flowing.

G                        D
I’m a pilgrim, and I’m a stranger;

      G            D     D7    G
I can tarry, I can tarry but a night.


[[Full Lyrics]]

[Verse 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.

[Verse 2]
There the glory is ever shining!
O, my longing heart, my longing heart is there;
Here in this country so dark and dreary,
I long have wandered forlorn and weary.

[Verse 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, or any dying.
