Wayfaring Stranger
Journey to Joy: A Wayfaring Soul’s Quest
Lyrics
I'm just a poor, wayfaring stranger
I am a humble and destitute traveler
I'm traveling through this world below
I am journeying through the earthly realm
There is no sickness, no toil, nor danger
In the destination I aim for, there is no sickness, hardship, or danger
In that bright world to which I go
I anticipate reaching a bright and blissful world
The darkened clouds have
The gloomy clouds have surrounded me
Gathered 'round me
My path has been challenging and steep
My pathway's been so rough and steep
However, there are golden fields ahead of me
But golden fields lie out before me
Where my tired eyes will no longer shed tears
My weary eyes no more shall weep
I desire to express my joyful experiences
I want to sing my joyous story
Joining a jubilant group in harmony
In concert with a joy-filled band
I aspire to be adorned with glorious garlands
I want to wear garlands of glory
Upon returning to that fair and beautiful land
When I go back to that fair land
I will soon be liberated from all trials
I'll soon be free
Embracing freedom from every hardship
From every trial
In grandeur, I will find repose
In majesty, I'll rest my head
I will release the burdens I've carried
I'll drop the burdens
Letting go of the heavy loads
That I've been carrying
And peacefully sleep away the tears I've shed
And sleep away
Release from the burdens I've borne
The tears I've shed
A tranquil slumber to soothe the sorrows
I'll drop the burdens
Relinquishing the burdens that weighed me down
That I've been carrying
And peacefully sleep away the tears I've shed
And sleep away
Release from the burdens I've borne
The tears I've shed
A tranquil slumber to soothe the sorrows
I'll soon be free
I will soon be liberated from all trials
From every trial
Embracing freedom from every hardship
In majesty, I'll rest my head
In grandeur, I will find repose
I'll drop the burdens
I will release the burdens I've carried
That I've been carrying
Letting go of the heavy loads
And sleep away
And peacefully sleep away the tears I've shed
The tears I've shed
Release from the burdens I've borne
I'll drop the burdens
A tranquil slumber to soothe the sorrows
That I've been carrying
Relinquishing the burdens that weighed me down
And sleep away
And peacefully sleep away the tears I've shed
The tears I've shed
Release from the burdens I've borne
