I am a poor pilgrim of sorrow
Cast out in this wide world to roam
My brothers and sisters won`t own me
They say that I`m weak and I`m poor
But Jesus father the almighty
Has bade me to enter the door
Chorus:
Sometimes I`m almost driven
`Til I know not where to roam
I`ve heard of a city called Heaven
I`ve started to make it my home
When friends and relations forsake me
And troubles grow `round me so high
I think of the kind words of Jesus
Poor pilgrim I always am nigh
Chorus
Oh soon I shall reach the bright glory
Where mortals no more do complain
The ship that will take me is coming
The captain is calling my name
Chorus:
I`ve heard of a city called heaven
I`ve started to make it my home
