Lyrics

I'm a pilgrim and a stranger
Traveling through this barren land
I've got a home in that yonder city, good Lord
And I do the best I can
I'm a pilgrim and a stranger
Traveling through this weary, summer land
I've got a home in that yonder city, good Lord
And I do the best I can
I've been tempted and I've been tried
I've been discouraged on every side
But I keep traveling through this land
Lord, I do the best I can
I've got a mother, a sister and a brother
Who have gone, gone to that sweet home
I'm determined to go and see them
For they're on that distant shore
I'm a pilgrim and a stranger
Traveling through this barren land
I gotta a home in that yonder city, good Lord
And I do the best I can
Now I got back on down to that River Jordan
Just to bathe my weary soul
If I could touch but the hem of his garment
I believe that that would make me whole
Now when I'm dead, lyin' in my coffin
All of my friends all gathered round
They say, he's lying there sleepin', good Lord
Sweet peace his soul has found
Lord knows, I'm a pilgrim and a stranger
Traveling through this wearisome land
I got a home in that yonder city, good Lord
And I'm, I'm gonna do the best I can
Lord knows I'm a pilgrim, stranger
A travelin' through this weary land
I gotta home in that yonder city, oh Lord
And I do the best I can
