I'm a pilgrim, and I'm a stranger
Author: Mary S. B. Dana Appears in 406 hymnals 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.
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!
O, my longing heart, my longing heart is there;
Here in this country so dark and dreary,
I long have wandered, forlorn and weary,
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.
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?
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?
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 never more be. Topics: Miscellaneous Old Melodies Used With Tune: I'M A PILGRIM

Anonymous
Person Name: Anon. Author of "I'm a Pilgrim" in Pentecostal Hymns Nos. 3 and 4 Combined In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.
