The Pilgrim's Song

1I'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.

2There 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.

3I'm a pilgrim, and I'm a stranger,
I can tarry, I can tarry but a night.
