1. I’m just a poor wayfaring stranger, I’m traveling through this world of woe; Yet there’s no sickness, toil nor danger, In that bright land to which I go. I’m going there to see my father, I’m going there no more to roam; I’m only going over Jordan, I’m only going over home. 2. I […]
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. 2. There the glory is ever […]

To hear the hallelujah’s roll From the unnumber’d throng: The kingdom spread […]
