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