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