A Year Of Humility (L): I Am A Poor Wayfaring Stranger

 Thanks to the power of the Interweb, this song crossed my feed on The Tube of You.  The song itself is a 19th Century American song; the arrangement here is done by Jos Slovick for the movie 1917.

I do not know why this song strikes me as a poignant example of the essence of humility.  But it is, and it haunts me.

Lyrics:

I am a poor wayfaring stranger

I′m traveling through this world of woe

Yet there is no sickness, toil, nor danger

In that bright land 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 my way is rough and steep

But golden fields lie just before me

Where God′s redeemed shall have their sleep

I'm going home to see my mother

And all my loved ones who′ve gone on

I'm only going over Jordan

I′m only going over home

I'll soon be free from every trial

My body sleeping in the churchyard

I′ll drop the cross of self-denial

And enter on my great reward

I'm going there to see my savior

To sing his praise forever more

I'm only going over Jordan

I′m only going over home
