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