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