Wayfaring Stranger 04:52
lyrics
buy track
I'm just a poor wayfaring stranger Traveling through, this world of woe Yet there's no sickness, toil nor danger In that bright world, to which I go I'm going there to see my momma I'm going there no more to roam I'm only going over Jordan I'm only going over home I know dark clouds will gather round me I know my way is rough and steep Those beautiful fields lie just beyond me Where souls redeemed, their vigils keep I'm going home to be with Jesus He said He'd meet me when I come I'm only going over Jordan I'm only going over home

I Am A Pilgrim 02:58
lyrics

I am a pilgrim and a stranger Travelling through this wearisome land I've got a home in that yonder city, good Lord And it's not, not made by hand I've got a mother, father, son and a brother Who have gone this way before I am determined to go and see them, good Lord For they're on that other shore I'm goin' down to the river of Jordan Just to clean my wearisome soul If I can just touch the hem of his garment, good Lord Then I know he'll take me home I am a pilgrim and a stranger Travelling through this wearisome land I've got a home in that yonder city, good Lord And it's not, not made by hand

(In the) Sweet By And By 03:30
lyrics
buy track
There’s a land that is fairer than day, And by faith we can see it afar; For the Father waits over the way To prepare us a dwelling place there. Refrain: In the sweet by and by, We shall meet on that beautiful shore; In the sweet by and by, We shall meet on that beautiful shore. We shall sing on that beautiful shore The melodious songs of the blessed; And our spirits shall sorrow no more, Not a sigh for the blessing of rest. Refrain: In the sweet by and by, We shall meet on that beautiful shore; In the sweet by and by, We shall meet on that beautiful shore. To our beautiful Father above, We will offer our tribute of praise For the glorious gift of His love And the blessings that hallow our days. In the sweet by and by, We shall meet on that beautiful shore; In the sweet by and by, We shall meet on that beautiful shore.

Pine Log Cabin 02:49
lyrics
buy track
There's a little pine log cabin, waiting down in welcome valley There's an open door and when my roamins o'er, I'm going back home There's a mother daily praying , waiting for my home ward strayin To that little pine log cabin never more to roam I want to see the children playing by the weeping willow swayin Hear my mother softly praying while the mocking bird sings so sweetly How my weary heart is yearning just to be again returning To the little pine log cabin in the land of my dreams Often when alone I still dream Of the days beside the mill stream With my dad and mother and my little brother happy all day I can see the shadows falling and I hear voices callin from the little pine log cabin at the end of the way I want to see the children playing by the weeping willow swayin Hear my mother softly praying while the mocking bird sings so sweetly How my weary heart is yearning just to be again returning To that little pine log cabin in the land of my dreams There's a little lamp light shinning there's a little trail a winding down a little valley to a little cabin peaceful and still Honey suckle vines are growing and I know soon I'll be going to that little pine log cabin at the foot of the hill I want to see the children playing by the weeping willow swayin Hear my mother softly praying while the mocking bird sings so sweetly How my weary heart is yearning just to be again returning To that little pine log cabin in the land of my dreams

Love Lifted Me 04:02
lyrics
buy track
I was sinking deep in sin Far from the peaceful shore Very deeply stained within Sinking to rise no more But the Master of the sea Heard my despairing cry From the waters lifted me Now safe am I Love lifted me Love lifted me When nothing else would help Love lifted me Love lifted me Love lifted me When nothing else would help Love lifted me All my heart I give to Him Ever to Him I'll cling In His blessed presence live Ever His praises sing Love so mighty and so free Merits my soul's best song Faithful loving service too To Him belong Love lifted me Love lifted me When nothing else could help Love lifted me Love lifted me Love lifted me When nothing else could help Love lifted me Love lifted me Love lifted me When nothing else could help Love lifted me Love lifted me Love lifted me When nothing else could help Love lifted me
