I’m a Pilgrim, I’m a Stranger

Lyrics

1. 1. I’m a pilgrim, I’m a stranger

   Cast upon the rocky shore

   Of a land where deathly danger

   Surges with a sullen roar,

   Oft despairing, oft despairing,

   Lest I reach my home no more.

2. 2. Misty vapors rise before me.

   Scarcely can I see the way.

   Clouds of darkest hue hang o’er me,

   And I’m apt to go astray

   With the many, with the many

   That are now the vulture’s prey.

3. 3. O my Father, I entreat thee,

   Let me see thy beck’ning hand;

   And when straying, may I meet thee

   Ere I join the silent band.

   Guide me, Father, guide me, Father,

   Safely to the promised land.
