Wayfaring Stranger (With Lyrics) - feat. Heidi Loves Hymns

Details

Description

Wayfaring Stranger, sometimes called Wayfaring Pilgrim, is one of the most beautiful traditional spiritual songs that reminds us of how we are just strangers passing through this world, and to remember that bright land to which we are going! A very good song for funerals or for those dealing with the fragility of life in the midst of grief, this version features partial new lyrics and a stunning piano part arranged by Heidi from Heidi Loves Hymns.

We hope you enjoy singing along for personal devotions or in a church service- scroll down to contact me and get [free] permission to use it in a congregational setting.

If you enjoyed this rendition of it, consider saving to your favourite Sunday or Inspirational playlist on Spotify or Apple Music to listen again in the future and help these songs reach more people. Even if your playlist has even just two likes, it does actually help so much with the song getting heard by others, and also makes my day to see that people are being blessed it in their everyday lives. https://artists.landr.com/WayfaringStranger

Lastly, consider this channel your own personal hymn-sing - I'm always hoping for new requests for hard-to-find songs. If you have a favourite hymn you'd like to hear or something you can't find anywhere else on the internet, please leave a comment below and let me know, or email staceyplayshymns@gmail.com and I'll see if I can do it for you! The older and less known, the better! It's always a delight to unearth treasures from the past and give them a new voice to reach believers in a new era.

Lyrics:

I am a poor wayfaring stranger
Traveling through this world of woe.
But there’s no sickness, toil nor danger
In that bright world to which I go.
I’m going there to see my father
I’m going there no more to roam
I’m only going over Jordan,
I’m only going over home.

I know dark clouds will gather round me;
I know the way lies rough and steep
But golden fields lie out before me
Where angels bright their vigils keep
I’m going there to see my mother,
She said she’d meet me when I come
I’m only going over Jordan,
I’m only going over home.

For there'll be no more death nor sorrow,
We’ll join with all who’ve gone before
And all our fears will be forgotten,
We'll sing His praise across that shore
I’m going there to see my Savior,
To sing His praise forevermore.
I’m only going over Jordan,
I’m only going over home.
