1. A pilgrim was I and awand'ring

1. A pilgrim was I and a-wand'ring

   In the cold night of sin I did roam

   When Jesus the kind Shepherd found me

   And now I am on my way home

   Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me

   All the days, all the days of my life;

   Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me

   All the days, all the days of my life.

   And I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever,

   And I shall feast at the table spread for me;

   Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me

   All the days, all the days of my life.

2. He restoreth my soul when I'm weary,

   He giveth me strength day by day;

   He leads me beside the still waters,

   He guards me each step of the way.

3. When I walk through the dark lonesome valley,

   My savior will walk with me there;

   And safely His great hand will lead me

   To the mansions He's gone to prepare.
