Ancient tune. Story of the LonePilgrim. Itinerant preacher. Buried in Johnsonburg, NJ in 1835. With lyrics I added. In tribute to Lanford Wilson & William Esper.
lyrics
I came to the place
Where the Lone Pilgrim lay
Pensively stood by his tomb
In a low whisper
I heard a voice say
How sweetly I sleep here alone
The tempest may howl
Loud thunder roar
Gathering storms may arise
Calm is my feeling a
At rest is my soul
Tears are all gone from my eyes
Home
Home
Home
The call of my master
Compelled me from home
No kindred nor relative nigh
I met the contagion
Sank to this tomb
My soul flew to mansions on high
Home
Home
Home
Tell my sweet wife
Children most dear
Don't weep for me 'cause I'm gone
The same hand that led me
Though storms most severe
Has kindly now walked me on home
Home
Home
Home
Home
Home
