The Lone Pilgrim Lyrics

The Lone Pilgrim lyrics

I came to the place where the lone pilgrim lay And pensively stood by his tomb,
When in a low whisper I heard something say, "How sweetly I sleep here alone."
"The tempest may howl and the loud thunder roar, And gathering storms may
arise, But calm is my feeling, at rest is my soul, The tears are all wiped from
my eyes." "The cause of my Master compelled me from home, No kindred or relative
night. I met the contagion and sank to the tomb. My soul flew to mansions on
high." "Go tell my companion and children most dear To weep not for me now I'm
gone. The same had that led me through scenes most severe Has kindly assisted
me home."
