1. I'm only a pilgrim and stranger, In this unfriendly world that I roam. For Jesus Who has brought me from darkness, Has promised me a heavenly home. In the Bible we read of a city Whose builder and ruler is God And someday when this life is over, Its beautiful sites we'll behold. Cho. I'm longing for home, the sun goeth down. I want to go where, sweet rest can be found. I'm just about through, with this old house of clay. I'm leaving this world, for Glory some day. 2. When the last weary mile has been traveled, And the gates of that city swing wide. Oh what a glad feeling 'twill be, To know that heaven is mine. Beyond the dark veil of sorrows, With Jesus forever I'll be. Oh to that city I'm going, Behold the Saviour to see.
