I am a poor pilgrim of sorrow 我悲哀的可怜的朝圣者

Cast out in this wide world to roam 赶在这个广阔的世界漫游

My brothers and sisters won't own me 我的兄弟姐妹们也不会欠我的

They say that I'm weak and I'm poor 他们说我软弱，我穷

But Jesus father the almighty 但耶稣的父亲万能的

Has bade me to enter the door 曾吩咐我进入大门

   

[Chorus:] [合唱： ]

Sometimes I'm almost driven 有时候，我几乎驱动

'Til I know not where to roam 直到我不知道在哪里漫游

I've heard of a city called Heaven 我听说过一个城市叫天堂

I've started to make it my home 我开始让我的家

   

When friends and relations forsake me 当亲友离弃我

And troubles grow 'round me so high 和麻烦长出“圆了我这么高

I think of the kind words of Jesus 我认为耶稣的赞美之词

Poor pilgrim I always am nigh 可怜的朝圣者我总是很亲近

   

[Chorus] [合唱]

   

Oh soon I shall reach the bright glory 哦，我很快会到达光明的荣耀

Where mortals no more do complain 凡凡人没有更多的不抱怨

The ship that will take me is coming 这将需要我的船来了

The captain is calling my name 队长喊我的名字

   

[Chorus] [合唱]

   

I've heard of a city called heaven 我听说过一个城市叫天堂

I've started to make it my home 我开始让我的家
