I saw a wayward traveler Upon a dusty road
C D G
He trudged along his head bowed low, Beneath the heavy load
C F C
I stopped to speak and clasp his hands, bY Jesus I was lead
C D G
He looked at me with teared dimmed eyes and this is what he said
C F C
A pilgrim am I, and a stranger here all burdened with toil and care
C D G
on earth I have no dwelling place, I look for a city foursquare
C F C
I often grow weary with longing, to go to that home in fair
C D G
For I am just a stranger here, But I'll be no stranger up there.
C F C
I have a friend who walks with me, through every shadow veil
C D G
His loving arm is there to hold, me in the wildest gail
C F C
And when this earthly race is run, I know his nail scared hands
C D G
Will safely lead my weary soul, into a better land
C F C
A pilgrim am I, and a stranger here all burdened with toil and care
C D G
on earth I have no dwelling place, I look for a city foursquare
C F C
I often grow weary with longing, to go to that home in fair
C D G
For I am just a stranger here, But I'll be no stranger up there.
