I’m a Pilgrim, I’m a Stranger

Author: Hans Henry Petersen, 1835–1909 Hymnal: LDS1985 #121 (1985) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Lyrics: 1. I’m a pilgrim, I’m a stranger Cast upon the rocky shore Of a land where deathly danger Surges with a sullen roar, Oft despairing, oft despairing, Lest I reach my home no more. 2. Misty vapors rise before me. Scarcely can I see the way. Clouds of darkest hue hang o’er me, And I’m apt to go astray With the many, with the many That are now the vulture’s prey. 3. O my Father, I entreat thee, Let me see thy beck’ning hand; And when straying, may I meet thee Ere I join the silent band. Guide me, Father, guide me, Father, Safely to the promised land.

Though deep’ning trials throng your way, Press on, press on, ye Saints of God! Ere long the resurrection day Will spread its life and truth abroad, Will spread its life and truth abroad. 2. Though outward ills await us here, The time, at longest, is not long Ere Jesus Christ will reappear, Surrounded by a glorious throng, Surrounded by a glorious throng. 3. Lift up your hearts in praise to God; Let your rejoicings never cease. Though tribulations rage abroad, Christ says, “In me ye shall have peace.” Christ says, “In me ye shall have peace.” 4. What though our rights have been assailed? What though by foes we’ve been despoiled? Jehovah’s promise has not failed; Jehovah’s purpose is not foiled. Jehovah’s purpose is not foiled. 5. This work is moving on apace, And great events are rolling forth; The kingdom of the latter days, The “little stone,” must fill the earth. The “little stone,” must fill the earth. 6. Though Satan rage, ’tis all in vain; The words the ancient prophet spoke Sure as the throne of God remain; Nor men nor devils can revoke. Nor men nor devils can revoke. 7. All glory to his holy name Who sends his faithful servants forth To prove the nations, to proclaim Salvation’s tidings through the earth. Salvation’s tidings through the earth.
