I first heard W.S. on a now ancient album of Gogi Grant. Nothing special about the lyrics - straight out of a hymnal. I still think the arrangement she used was pretty cool. There was a male chorus backing her up, singing: "Stranger. Wayfaring Stranger." as she began the song. Wish you could hear it. A number of traditional gospel songs were included on the record. They were a bit "uptown" for my current tastes but introduced me to some songs I might otherwise have never heard. W. S. has always been among the songs I love to sing. Glad to find the other lyrics such as those from Alice and Kathleen. Puts a whole different complexion to it.
