Author: Mrs. M. S. B. Dana Meter: 9.11.10.10 with refrain Appears in 404 hymnals Lyrics: 1. I'm a pilgrim, and I'm a stranger; I can tarry, I can tarry but a night; Do not detain me, for I am going To where the fountains are ever flowing, I'm a pilgrim, and I'm a stranger; I can tarry, I can tarry but a night. 2. There the glory is ever shining; O my longing heart, my longing heart is there; Here is this country, so dark and dreary, I long have wandered forlorn and weary. I'm a pilgrim, and I'm a stranger; I can tarry, I can tarry but a night. 3. There's the city to which I journey; My Redeemer, my Redeemer, is its light; There is no sinning, nor any sighing, Nor any tears there, nor any dying. I'm a pilgrim, and I'm a stranger; I can tarry, I can tarry but a night. Topics: The Christian Life Pilgrimage Used With Tune: I'M A PILGRIM

Mary Dana Shindler

1810 - 1883 Person Name: Mrs. M. S. B. Dana Meter: 9.11.10.10 with refrain Author of "I'm a Pilgrim, and I'm a Stranger" in The New Christian Hymnal Shindler, Mary Stanley Bunce, née Palmer, better known as Mrs. Dana, was born in Beaufort, South Carolina, Feb. 15, 1810. In 1835 she was married to Charles E. Dana, of New York, and removed with him to Bloomington, now Muscatine, Iowa, in 1838. Mr. Dana died in 1839, and Mrs. Dana returned to South Carolina. Subsequently she was married to the Rev. Robert D. Shindler, who was Professor in Shelby College, Kentucky, in 1851, and afterwards in Texas. Mrs. Shindler, originally a Presbyterian, was for some time an Unitarian; but of late years she has been a member of the Protestant Episcopal Church. As Mary S. B. Dana she published the Southern Harp, 1840, and the Northern Harp, 1841. From these works her hymns have been taken, 8 of which are in T. O. Summers's Songs of Zion, 1851. The best known are:— 1. Fiercely came the tempest sweeping. Christ stilling the storm. (1841.) 2. I'm a pilgrim, and I'm a stranger. A Christian Pilgrim. (1841.) 3. O sing to me of heaven. Heaven contemplated. (1840.) Sometimes given as "Come, sing to me of heaven." [Rev. F. M. Bird, M.A.] -- John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology (1907) =================== Shindler, Mary S. B., p. 1055, i. Other hymns usually attributed to this writer, are "Prince of Peace, control my will" (Perfect Peace), in the Church of England Magazine, March 3, 1858, in 32 lines; and " Once upon the heaving ocean" (Jesus calming the Sea). --John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology, Appendix, Part II (1907)
