The Wayfaring Stranger is an American folk and gospel song likely originating in the early 19th century about a plaintive soul on the journey through life.

Y'all... Coming from a 66 year old man who has listened to country & western, swing, bluegrass, and folk, and managed concerts, THERE IS NO BETTER MUSICAL COMPOSITION AND ACCOMPANIMENT THAN WHAT Y'ALL DID WITH THIS SONG. It is sublime, rhythmic, and articulate all at the same time. This is musical mastery. As always, lil miss lead singer is spot on with every note of her voice, but then I would posit that because of the skill of the instrumentalists she is both inspired and confident to sing with all of her inner strength. Y'all got something here guys...

I commented a year ago on this beautiful song. This September 28 2022 I laid my phone playing this song to heron my wife's chest in a hospice room. As she breathed her last breaths another victim of bad health and COVID. I cried my eyes out then and I am doing it again now as I write this. They say hearing is the last sense to go so I prayed she heard it and could feel my son and I holding her hands. She passed ironically at 3:16 pm as hurricane Ian pressed down on us. My son who held her hand on the other side of the bed is named Ian. I have the time as a constant reminder of John 3:16. RIP my love of 47 years. I will be a long soon. Thank you for the years and thank you for this song.

I first heard this song the morning that my grandfather passed away. My uncle and me were coming back from the hospital, it was quiet. He put this song on and at first I didn't really pay attention. Once I heard "I'm only going over Jordan" everything felt still. As I kept listening I could feel the tears and emotions finally building up inside. When I heard "I'm going to see my mother, she said she'd meet me there when I come." I could feel the tears overflowing. This song helped me get through that week. Even now after 6 months when I hear this song it helps me remember that he is in a better place. I miss him so much and not a day has gone by that I don't think of him.

[@michaelsopchak8474]

So sorry for your loss of a beloved grandfather, Twyla. I can't begin to know how music like this can bring such comfort and peace at such times of grief, but it does.

Let me tell y'all how much I love to find out that a Norwegian group does American music better than most Americans. I love it a lot.

[@emjenkins464]

Steve'n'Seagulls is equally another Norwegian bluegrass group

[@ElwoodPDowd-nz2si]

It seems that area of the globe produces the best music regardless of genre.

Emma Jenkins From Finland!

[@shawnmichaelduncan5951]

That's because the most of the good American country singers are dead or old and semi retired.

Hayde Bluegrass Holy Grail. The gold standard of Wayfaring Stranger, at least a hundred views, I carry THIS one in my head

[@georgeburns7251]

I am 3 years old and this is the best song .

[@jimsconnely8361]

I am a poor wayfaring stranger I'm traveling through this world of woe Yet there's no sickness, toil, or danger In that bright world to which I goI'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 homeI know dark clouds will gather 'round me I know my way is rough and steep Yet beauteous fields lie just before me Where God's redeemed, their vigils keepI'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 homeI am a poor wayfaring stranger While traveling through this world of woe Yet there's no sickness, toil, or danger In that bright world to which I goI'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

[@brianweeden1450]

You really just posted the lyrics...?

[@Rickswars]

@@cynthiapatterson1793 This song is over 300 years old and some of the lyrics were changed by artist so nobody knows the real lyrics Cynthia, Nobody even knows the name of the composer so it's not below, more likely woe, Latin for below, see, you thought you were 'smart'!

[@gwynjames2077]

Thanks saved me a bit of effort!

[@emilyanderson5733]

Found this song the day my friend passed away, whom just said the salvation prayer. This song was healing for my heart. Absolutely beautiful and quite appropriate. Thank you sweet angel!

[@viviannebisson7133]

I think I'm going to listen to this version of the song more than a thousand times! Her voice with all the instruments...SERIOUSLY GREAT!! I wish I was in the living room when this was made.

[@charliemitchell2574]

Just a thousand times?

[@hollydoodle]

I thought the same thing! I wish I could have my guitar and sit in there playing with them!

[@lovefaithhopejoy9421]

I'd like to know the people who put a thumbs down? I'd like to give you my heart. You obviously need one. ❤
