Lori Lucas Mcclure Poet Sedoka

Wayward Pilgrim

Thou wayward pilgrim
Oh come rest thy weary soul  
Down by the river Jordan

Thou wayward pilgrim
Unburden thine heavy load
Rest  by the river of life 

Oh wayward pilgrim
lift your dimmed eyes toward home
Oh what happiness awaits!

Oh wayward pilgrim
in yonder distance joy waits
Jerusalem, home sweet home
