I知 a pilgrim, and I知 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知 a pilgrim, and I知 a stranger;
I can tarry, I can tarry but a night.
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.
I知 a pilgrim, and I知 a stranger;
I can tarry, I can tarry but a night.
There痴 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.
I知 a pilgrim, and I知 a stranger;
I can tarry, I can tarry but a night.
---Alternative verses---
I知 a pilgrim, and I知 a stranger,
I can tarry, I can tarry but a night;
Do not detain me, for I am going
To where the streamlets are ever flowing.
I知 a pilgrim, and I知 a stranger;
I can tarry, I can tarry but a night.
Of that 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.
I知 a pilgrim, and I知 a stranger;
I can tarry, I can tarry but a night.
There the sunbeams are 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.
I知 a pilgrim, and I知 a stranger;
I can tarry, I can tarry but a night.
