I’ve been having an awful lot of trouble with my pilgrimage, just now. But maybe this hymn can help me on my way.
Requested by SlimJim: Farther Along, by Johnny Cash with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra (a rather surprising combination)
O Lord, strengthen us farther along…
Joshua sent us this hymn performed by his brother, Jeremy–Farther Along. There are echoes of the Psalms in here: makes me think of Psalm 73 in particular. “Surely God is good to Israel… But as for me, my feet had almost stumbled, my steps had nearly slipped…” Thank you, Swanson brothers.
It’s easy to forget that Elvis Presley loved to sing Gospel. Farther Along is a classic Gospel hymn, sung in many churches.
