I’m a Pilgrim (Shindler) (EN 5536)

EN 5536 I’m a Pilgrim (Shindler)

Heb.11.13

Versi Version 1

1

I’m a pilgrim, and I’m a stranger,

I can tarry, I can tarry but a night;

Do not detain me, for I am going

To where the fountains are ever flowing.

I’m a pilgrim, and I’m a stranger;

I can tarry, I can tarry but a night.

2

There the glory is ever shining;

Oh, my longing heart, my longing heart is there;

Here in this country so dark and dreary,

I long have wandered forlorn and weary.

3

There’s the city to which I journey;

My Redeemer, my Redeemer is its Light;

There is no sorrow nor any sighing,

Nor any tears there, nor any dying.

4

Farewell, neighbors, with tears I’ve warned you,

I must leave you, I must leave you and be gone!

With this your portion, your heart’s desire,

Why will you perish in raging fire?

5

Father, mother, and sister, brother!

If you will not journey with me, I must go!

Now since your vain hopes you will thus cherish,

Should I, too, linger, and with you perish?

6

Farewell, drear earth, by sin so blighted,

In immortal beauty soon you’ll be arrayed;

He who has formed thee will soon restore thee,

And then the dread curse shall nevermore be.
