LYRICS:
I am a poor wayfaring stranger
While traveling through, this world of woe.
But there's no sickness, toil or 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 just a going over Jordan
I'm just a going over home.
I 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, no more shall weep
I'm going there to see my mother
She said she'd meet me when I come;
I'm just a going over Jordan
I'm just a going over home.
I'll soon be free from earthly trials,
my body sleep in the old church yard,
I'll drop the cross of self denial and enter in my great reward,
I'm going, I'm going there to see my savior
I'm going there no more to room,
I'm just a going over jordan.
I'm just a going over home.
Over Home, Over Home.....I'm just a going over home.
Music is so powerful it needs to be used for redeeming work, to lift people's spirits and lift their souls. Hope you find some of this in my music.

That lady in Red is my sister!!! SHE'S AMAZING!!!! I love this video Peter Hollens+Swingle Singers!!! Great Job!!! So Powerful!
She is an amazing singer!
No way that's hectic
She sings as if she is an earthly Angel.
does she have other stuff here on RUclips?
She’s mesmerizing. What a masterful arrangement and performance!
I wanted to share one of my personal favorites with you guys from about two years ago when I sang with the five time grammy winning group The Swingle Singers.
One of my favorites! And it's the one that introduced me to *****
Still gives me chills.
Two years, really? Wow.
Always lovely
It's amazing
love it ...
This is the song that introduced me to the swingle singers. Such a great collaboration!
My dad died when I was 3. Mom raised seven of us all alone. I heard this first right after you released it and I have gone back to it over and over. Now I have four kids of my own and my mom has been dead for 5 years as well. Seems like I have a pretty friendly relationship with my own mortality and I think this song conveys it well.
Thank you so much for recording it.
I'm sorry for your losses! Your Mom sounds like an amazing soul! I've just lost me Dad (I'm Irish), so I feel your pain. Blessings to you. I bid you peace.
2011 Peter is so young!!!
IKR? I saw him and I was like, "Oh my gosh... That's Peter!!!"
I know he looks so young (It is 2020 now)
"I want to wear a crown of glory,
When I get home to that good land;
I want to shout salvation's story,
In concert with the blood-washed band.
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."
Thumbs up to the super-soprano that sung the ridiculously high but in-the-background note at 3:23
Ho-dayyum.
Soprano? Are you sure that wasn't falsetto? Beautiful music, nonetheless.
What's falsetto I know Bass, Baritone, Tenor(Me), Alto and saprano but what's falsetto
*soprano
merrick baskie
It's like the highest possible range, I think.
Falsetto is for either boy or girl it's when you song with out actually using your actual voice so basically singing with you throat instead of chest like how Frankie Valli hits those high notes
Dear Peter. You made me cry (and I'm blaming you). The sheer beauty and magic in that performance made me weep. I love it, and I cannot wait till I see more from you
I make it a policy not to comment on RUclips, but.... this is quite possibly the most beautiful piece of music I have ever listened to.
Thank you, Peter, Swingle Singers. Hearing this for the first time changed how I think of music, and I still come back sometimes when I just want something real and beautiful and... breathtaking.
Thank you.
AMEN!
This performance is a treasure. I've listened to it several times over the past few months and it never fails to blow me away. This reaffirms my belief in the power of the human spirit and the incredible beauty attainable when voices resonate together. Kudos to all participants. You should all be very proud.
This may be just me, but I believe that this song alone should have won AT LEAST three Grammys. This was simply amazing.... The best song cover I have ever seen in my entire life.
I agree
she looks like she's about to cry... so much emotion in these voices. it brings tears to my eyes.
My brother and I used to sing this song when we would go camping in Big Bend national park. After he joined the Army, and i enlisted a year later we havent seen much of eachother, but this song reminds me of better days. I miss him so much...
This arrangement is amazing. And with Peter's voice - even more. He's so lucky he got to sing with the most talented group of singers in the world.
Beautiful. And by the last singing part: that girl in the red dress made me cry.
my choir teacher showed us this song because he loooves swingle singers, and because we're doing a song with i'm just a poor wayfaring stranger in it.
my god i got chills every five seconds.
needless to add that i choked up a few times.
so beautiful.
i wish i sounded like this.
Like several other people who commented, I can't get enough of this song. My eyes water up every time I hear it. Whoever did the arrangement for this should receive a Grammy! Beautiful! That's all I can say is "Beautiful!"
"I'm going there to see my savior"... that's when I started crying...
I do too, and also when Oliver sings, 'I'm going there to see my Mother, she said she'd meet me when I come...' (burst of tears)
This song is such a mix of emotions for me. The last thing I did with my girlfriend before she broke up with me out of the blue was show her this video, and that horrible night is in the back of my mind when I watch this video. The song is so sad too. However, this is the most beautiful a capella song I've ever heard so it brings me happiness too.
You know an a Capella song is amazing when you get so lost in the song and that you completely forget that there are no instruments! Wow! Oh and that last note just took my breath away. So beautiful.
It was such a fun day! We were so excited to work with Peter and Tom, they are the best!!
3:00 to 3:27 quiet and subdued to ABSOLUTE WALL OF SOUND! Add in the falsetto soprano at 3:18. This gave me chills. Amazing job!
This is my favorite from you. So smooth and harmonious. A gem.
Peter...you have such an incredible, smooth, beautiful voice. Listening to you is pure joy. Thanks so much for this post. We've always loved the Swingle Singers...and listening to you harmonize with them.....just a little piece of heaven!
Just found this. Absolutely awesome. I knew it would be when I saw Peter Hollens with all his energy and creativity, and the Swingle Singers, whose exquisite harmonies first attracted me to voice groups as a child listening to Rags and all that Jazz. Absolutely wonderful, raises hairs on your neck.
I have Been watching this video everyday for about two weeks now. I just love all of the voices and the arrangement and the beat and the sound of it. I love this version more than any other I've heard. This version cuts to the core of me. Great work to you Peter Hollens and Swingle Singers!!!
No idea how many times I've listened to this particular song... It's just amazing. Of course, I love all of your videos. Keep on keeping on.
WHAT? I repeat WHAT??? The last note was not.. That was an angel voice.. Im overwhelmed. Her range is incredible. You all are amazing. But this was from heaven. My mouth was wide open😍❤️😍❤️😍❤️😍
I first heard this song before my Mother got cancer. Six months later she was dead. I've listened to music all my life, but hearing this song is like I was finally full after a lifetime of hunger. Wait for me Mom; I'll be along shortly to cross the River Jordon....
Best version of this song EVER. I cry everytime I hear that. It's so amazing and beautiful, I can't describe how much happiness I feel when I hear it :I
Me too, Countess. Gets me every time!! ;-)
I saw them last night. This is even more powerful live. One of them said that even for them the song is so emotional and powerful that they can tear up. All voices, not instruments on this. The drums and bass are done by voice and using the microphone.
Still coming back to hear this masterpiece
me too, brother. me too.
I'm currently doing this song in my 6th grade choir class I love this version so much
Holly crap! I saw this video back in Highschool, before I even knew who he was. Blast from the past!
this is what got me onto Peter Hollens, and it still gives me shivers 3 years later :)
Not to sound morbid but my Grandmother passed away 2 days ago and this was the first song I listened to that made me think of her. Thank you for making a beautiful song.
I originally sang this song at a choir competition. Im always humming it. I'm glad to find a version that isn't country western. Amazing Job.
I'm currently working on this song in my choir class. This such an amazing version of this song. It gives me chills every time I listen to it. I love it.
same!
THIS is why I love Acapella
WOW!!! The arrangement at the 54" mark into the 1' mark is SO RIDICULOUSLY GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!
has anyone been in a car when the 3:02 mark rolls around and the man humming bass drops down?? ITS INSANE!!!! he has some serious talent!...the other singers/sound makers are amazing as well, but WOW that BASS!!!
Wow... Powerful, Emotional, A delight for anyone's ears.
This is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. Great job!
Shivers were running down my spine on my first listen. The comments below are right. This is REAL music. Thanks a lot.
I got to sing this in the national cathedral several months back with a piano accompaniment by the writer of the score.
Hands down this has to be my favorite performance of the song I've heard though *****
that was 100% beauty...
I love your videos and your talent! Two songs come to mind immediately..."Greensleeves"...and "Time to Say Goodbye". Look forward to these!
Still a complete GEM!!! Seriously can’t listen enough! Ughhhh 🥹
Peter and the Swingles, all under one roof. Heavenly!
Just watched 1917 recently and it lead me to this cover.
Anyone else watching after seeing 1917?
Yep. I just got home from seeing that movie. This song features rather prominently in one of the scenes, and I recognized it instantly, thanks to Peter Hollens. :-)
A beautiful song, a beautiful meaning, a beautiful group of singers.
A decade later and here we are.
Peter you have an AMAZING voice!!!!! When youre done with the folk album, maybe some traditional gospel??
You should do an arrangement of "Morning has Broken" it would sound amazing!
the last note made my heart ache and stopped my breathing for ten seconds. Pure joy.
it's harder than that, some people go a millisecond to long, and even that is audible, they are perfectly together. it is an accomplishment that most can't achieve.
Actually, it's both. Like nearly all a cappella music in the last several years, this song was tracked with each vocalist doing their part alone. The individual (doubled) tracks were then digitally edited - though very, very little, as the caliber of the vocalists meant they were pretty well spot on to start with - and then mixed together. We did, however, sing it live while recording the video... wish that audio recording had survived!!
I think you would do wonders with "All Things Bright and Beautiful".
God this makes me want to cry...I'm just...speechless. It's so beautiful and just...the sheer simplicity of the song just makes it so POWERFUL, what a strong song....it...it's beautiful...God bless you!
I love this song, thank you for posting it! My wife of 24 years went home to meet her saviour 8 weeks ago today. I know I will meet her there when I die. Please do not take life for granted, my wife was only 47 when she passed away very suddenly. Life is precious and very fragile, please cherish every moment, and never miss an opportunity to say I love you.
I fell a little in love with the girl in the red dress just from a few seconds in.
Same here her voice is beautiful
Wow, this is beautiful.
That final note!
I'm in a girl choir at Lawrence University and one year one of the older choirs did this song. I had a huge nostalgia moment when I listened to this!
I can't stop listening to it...even my husband listened and said it was awesome
If you love this song, you will adore my wife Evynne Hollens version that she sang at 9 months pregnant! ruclips.net/video/R0kMLnmWZQo/видео.html
You provided a link to this video, here and in the description it should be this one:
ruclips.net/video/R0kMLnmWZQo/видео.html
Btw. when I heard Evynne sing it I knew I'd heard this song before. It's been 7 years, can you imagine?
Peter Hollens This is the first time I discovered you Peter! I was in the eighth grade practicing for this very song for solo festival. It inspired my love for a Capella and audition choir, which I went on to be involved in throughout the rest of middle and high school. Life changing piece right here.
I truly love her version.
@@PheonxD Oops fixed, haha thanks! 🙃
This got me through my brother's death. Thank you.
I arranged it. You can contact me directly - my info is in the About section for this video. :)
Kudos to you for an absolutely THRILLING arrangement. And the modulation at 3:15 ALWAYS takes my breath away !
Breathtaking! Great job!
While I can enjoy this arrangement, I'll just go ahead and say it: Whoever mixed this album (Weather to Fly) ought to be shot at dawn. Congratulate him/her for me for Melodyne'ing every ounce of humanity out of most of the tracks. It's atrocious decision making on how much pitch correction was used in this album, and Ward (whom I knew and worked with a bit) would have had a cow. His philosophy was The Human Voix in differing settings. Human. Not robot.
Back away from the daw plugins please. Let the music breath and sound human again. Even if slightly imperfect. Real voices do not sound like this precise. If there is no imperfection there is no thrill, and this arrangement ends up being boring if you care about singing, not simply about a harmonic progression.
The last note she hits is pure crystal. God damn.
Oh my word I haven't heard this song since I was in choir in high school! A fellow soprano and I sang it while walking through a haunted house and we ended up getting kicked out for being too eerie. ;) Once again I am so amazed by your range.This is such a beautiful song...
Unfortunately it doesn't feel like you can unlock the true power of this song without a choral ensemble, but for you doing it with only a few people, it still came out absolutely beautiful.
+Charlie Burton there is a really good cover by betsy lee that only uses a drum and a rain-stick and it is quite beautiful
I got full body goosebumps. I'm not sure I could handle more power.
Hello Swingle Singers, hello Peter Hollens,
this version is really great, a wonderful inspiration. Everybody who loves this arrangement is probably interested in my choir adaption (Vocal Journey, Germany), see and hear you, Stephan G. (cologne)
I would love to hear Peter Hollens and the Swingle Singers collaborate again.
wow i saw the swingle singers about 10 years ago when they came to the Smith Opera House and i remember them being just as amazing then, and adding peter to the mix makes it even more amazing :)
The guy in the middle reminds me of EpicLloyd.
Mythic Geek Nostalgia critic
I sung this in one of my singing lessons. Thank you to my music teacher for showing me the Swingle Singers :)
Everyone is AWESOME!!!!! Just saw the Swingle Singers in upstate NY...Incredible!!!! Keep up the great and beautiful music!!!
What a great arrangement of the old gospel. Amazing vocals!
From the heart ... Thank you so much ...
dont make excuses for crying at something so wonderfully beautiful
What is great is that i sang this song in choir during high school. One of my favorites we sang
The second soloist is really talented. This entire group is absolutely amazing and I just think they did an amazing job on this old gospel. Good job to all!
jesus christ.
i favourited this video last week so I could watch it whenever i wanted. Since then, i have watched it at least 5 times a day. And even though i have watched it so many times, every time i watch it, my eyes still swell up and water. this is the first time a song has been able to do this to me and i am a huge appreciator of music as i am at college doing music. Genuine respect to you all for being able to create this beautiful version of a beautiful song. Thank you.
I still can't get enough of this song. Amazing!
It's still one of my top top favorites. SO well done and introduced me to a Mr. Peter Hollens. Which opened up a whole new world of contemporary a cappella music to me. And my life is richer for it, thanks.
that casual a flat 6 she just pulls out of nowhere at the end was like a magic trick. i stopped breathing.
I was teary eyed the first few times I heard this. It still gets to me.
The original version of this song is haunting and this cover is just as beautiful.
Our singing group sings like this, and we love it.
2 people don't know the definition of beautiful. Or they're deaf. THIS IS LEGIT. Thank you Peter Hollens and the Swingles. :)
That last note is what angels sound like in heaven
There are some songs that just make you cry, they are so beautiful. This is one such.
I love how you all have the control for each counterpart with the melody
This makes me cry.... in a good way... not many songs can do that.... good job guys.
Wow! A capella doesn't get any more beautiful than this. Perfect!
Wow. What a blessing. Jo, you are truly wonderful. and Sara, I can see your passion for music in your eyes, which are beautiful. And Tobi, wow. Rock solid, every time. Ollie, I want to be you. Also Peter! and ALSO THE ARRANGER! Wow.
I've got to agree -- she's stunning and sings like an angel
I sang this song for Solo & Ensemble when I was in high school. I wish we sounded half as good as this. Thank you for the nostalgia. :)
Absolutely gorgeous. The close harmonies, the clear quality of vocal talent...I'm floored!
From South Africa: This is most inspiring. I'll listen to this every night before I go to sleep
the person singing bass is just so skjfhalfjsalfja. this is so beautiful.
I've had the pleasure of seeing the Swingle Singers perform live with Gareth Malone & they are just this incredible in real life. No autotune needed!
