I am a pil grim and a strang er
Travelling thr ough this wearsome land
I've got a h ome in that yonder c ity good L ord
And it's not n ot made by hand
I've got a mother got a sis ter and brother
Who have been this way before
I am determi ned to go and see the m good Lor d
Over on that ot her shore
I am a pil grim and a strang er
Travelling thr ough this wearsome land
I've got a h ome in that yonder c ity good L ord
And it's not n ot made by hand
I'm going down to that rive r of Jordan
Just to bathe my we arsome soul
If I could j ust tou ch the hem of his garmen t good Lord
Then I k now he' ll t ake me home
I am a pil grim and a strang er
Travelling thr ough this wearsome land
I've got a h ome in that yonder c ity good L ord
And it's not n ot made by hand
