Description:
This song has 7 verses, and I arrnged this hymn to include all of the verses.to get the full effect, I recomend you read the text below along with listeningA poor wayfaring Man of griefHath often crossed me on my way,Who sued so humbly for reliefThat I could never answer nay.I had not power to ask his name,Whereto he went, or whence he came;Yet there was something in his eyeThat won my love; I knew not why.Once, when my scanty meal was spread,He entered; not a word he spake,Just perishing for want of bread.I gave him all; he blessed it, brake,And ate, but gave me part again.Mine was an angels portion then,For while I fed with eager haste,The crust was manna to my taste.I spied him where a fountain burstClear from the rock; his strength was gone.The heedless water mocked his thirst;He heard it, saw it hurrying on.I ran and raised the suffrer up;Thrice from the stream he drained my cup,Dipped and returned it running oer;I drank and never thirsted more.Twas night; the floods were out; it blewA winter hurricane aloof.I heard his voice abroad and flewTo bid him welcome to my roof.I warmed and clothed and cheered my guestAnd laid him on my couch to rest;Then made the earth my bed, and seemedIn Edens garden while I dreamed.Stripped, wounded, beaten nigh to death,I found him by the highway side.I roused his pulse, brought back his breath,Revived his spirit, and suppliedWine, oil, refreshment—he was healed.I had myself a wound concealed,But from that hour forgot the smart,And peace bound up my broken heart.In prisn I saw him next, condemnedTo meet a traitors doom at morn.The tide of lying tongues I stemmed,And honored him mid shame and scorn.My friendships utmost zeal to try,He asked if I for him would die.The flesh was weak; my blood ran chill,But my free spirit cried, I will!Then in a moment to my viewThe stranger started from disguise.The tokens in His hands I knew;The Savior stood before mine eyes.He spake, and my poor name He named,Of Me thou hast not been ashamed.These deeds shall thy memorial be;Fear not, thou didst them unto Me.
