1 A pilgrim was I, and a wand’ring
In the cold night of sin I did roam
When Jesus the kind Shepherd found me
And now I am on my way home.
Refrain:
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
all the days, all the days of my life;
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
All the days, all the days of my life.
2 He restoreth my soul when I’m weary;
He giveth me strength day by day.
He leads me beside the still waters;
He guards me each step of the way. [Refrain]
3 When I walk thro’ the dark, lonesome valley,
My Savior will walk with me there;
And safely His great hand will lead me
To the mansions He’s gone to prepare. [Refrain]
[Additional Refrain:]
And I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever,
And I shall feast at the table spread for me;
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
All the days, all the days of my life.
All the days, all the days of my life.
