Weeping Pilgrim 417
Tune: John Palmer Rees, 1859
Alto: Wilson Marion Cooper, 1902
Lyrics: John Palmer Rees, 1859
Meter: Irregular
You may tell them, father,
When you see them,
I'm a poor mourning pilgrim,
I'm bound for Canaan's land;
You may tell them, mother,
When you see them,
I'm a poor mourning pilgrim,
I'm bound for Canaan's land.
Chorus:
I weep, and I mourn,
And I move slowly on,
I'm a poor mourning pilgrim,
I'm bound for Canaan's land.
You may tell them, brothers,
When you see them,
I'm a poor mourning pilgrim,
I'm bound for Canaan's land;
You may tell them, sisters,
When you see them,
I'm a poor mourning pilgrim,
I'm bound for Canaan's land.
(Chorus)
