Notes: The use of the tune WAYFARING STRANGER, an Afro-American spiritual, creates resonance between this text and the Afro-American experience. Before singing this psalm setting, have an unaccompanied soloist sing the traditional, spiritual text (I am a poor wayfaring stranger/While traveling through this world of woe./Yet there’s no sickness, toil nor danger/In that bright world to which I go./I’m going there to see my father (mother/sister/brother/Jesus)/I’m going there no more to roam./I’m only going over Jordan,/I’m only going over home.).
