G# D#7 G#
I am a pilgrim and a stranger
C# G#
Traveling through this wearisome land
C#
I've got a home in that yonder city good Lord
G# D#7 G#
And it's not not made by hand
D#7 G#
I've got a mother a sister and brother
C# G#
Who have been this way before
C#
I am determined to go and see them good Lord
G# D#7 G#
Over on that other shore
D#7 G#
I'm going down to that river of Jordan
C# G#
Just to bath my wearisome soul
C#
If I could just touch the hem of His garment good Lord
G# D#7 G#
Then I know He'll take me home
