G         D7         G 
I am a pilgrim and a stranger 
          C                       G 
Traveling through  this wearisome land 
                               C 
I've got a home in that yonder city good Lord 
         G     D7          G 
And it's not   not made by hand 
 
           D7       G 
I've got a mother a sister and brother 
         C               G 
Who have been this way before 
                          C 
I am determined to go and see them good Lord 
     G        D7    G 
Over on  that other shore 
 
          D7           G 
I'm going down to that river of Jordan 
        C                 G 
Just to bath my wearisome soul 
                                 C 
If I could just touch the hem of His garment good Lord 
       G           D7      G 
Then I know  He'll take me home
