O hino “O Exilado” (nº 36 da Harpa Cristã) é uma adaptação da canção americana “Old Folks at Home“, também conhecida como “Swanee River“, composta por Stephen Collins Foster em 1851. A versão brasileira foi realizada pelo missionário Justus Henry Nelson, que adaptou a melodia e escreveu uma nova letra com temática cristã.
A melodia original de Foster, foi preservada na versão brasileira. A letra adaptada por Nelson reflete sentimentos de exílio e anseio pelo lar celestial.
Tom: 1 Verso I 1 4 Way down upon de Swanee River, 1 5 Far, far away, 1 4 Dere's wha my heart is turning ever, 1 5 1 Dere's wha de old folks stay. 5 1 All up and down de whole creation, 4 1 Sadly I roam, 1 4 Still longing for de old plantation, 1 5 1 And for de old folks at home. Refrão 1 4 All de world am sad and dreary, 1 5 Ev'rywhere I roam; 1 4 Oh, darkies, how my heart grows weary, 1 5 1 Far from de old folks at home. Verso II 1 4 All roun' de little farm I wander'd, 1 5 When I was young; 1 4 Den many happy days I squander'd, 1 5 1 Many de songs I sung. 5 1 When I was playing wid my brother, 4 1 Happy was I; 1 4 Oh! take me to my kind old mother, 1 5 1 Dere let me live and die. Verso III 1 4 One little hut among de bushes, 1 5 One dat I love, 1 4 Still sadly to my mem'ry rushes, 1 5 1 No matter where I rove. 5 1 When will I see de bees a-humming 4 1 All roun' de comb? 1 4 When will I hear de banjo tumming, 1 5 1 Down in my good old home?
Letra: Stephen Collins Foster (1851)
