Wandering pilgrim, searching alone
Weary from travel, so far from home
You need a firelight inside you to guide you
Oh, wandering pilgrim, look to the wonderful star
Wandering pilgrim, please take my hand
I've been a pilgrim, I know the land
You need an escort beside you to guide you
Oh, wandering pilgrim, look to the wonderful star
Follow the star in the night
Wonderful star of light
Wandering pilgrim, be not afraid
There is the sign in heaven displayed
You need a Savior inside you to guide you
Oh, wandering pilgrim, look to the wonderful star
Please, let me show you the star
Follow that wonderful star
