“Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in Me. In My Father’s house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? And if I go to prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am there, you be also."
My heavn’ly home is bright and fair. I feel like traveling on. Nor pain, nor death can enter there. I feel like traveling on.
It’s glitt’ring tow’rs the sun outshine. I feel like traveling on. That heavn’ly mansion shall be mine. I feel like traveling on.
Let others seek a home below - I feel like traveling on. Which flames devour or waves o’erflow. I feel like traveling on.
The Lord has been so good to me. I feel like traveling on. Until that blessed home I see, I feel like traveling on.
REFRAIN
Yes, I feel like traveling on. I feel like traveling on. My heav’nly home is bright and fair. I feel like traveling on.
William Hunter was born on May 26, 1811, in Antrim, Ireland, to James and Sarah. In 1817, the family immigrated to America. He attended Madison College in 1830. William became an ordained minister for the Methodist Episcopal Church and was given a congregation in Starks County, OH. He wrote 125 hymns and edited 3 different songbooks. William married Jane Ursula McCarty and they had 9 children; sadly 2 of their children died in infancy (they were almost a year apart). In 1838, William wrote, I Feel like Traveling On, which was originally titled, “Prone to Wander”. William intended for the hymn to express a common theme that Christ has prepared a better place for us. The music was later added by James Vaughan, who was known as one of the founding fathers of Southern Gospel Music. William edited the Conference Journal of Pittsburgh OH, and later he served as the president of the Christian Advocate in Clarksburg, WV, and stayed there until 1844. After leaving Clarksburg, he moved to Cleveland, OH, and lived there until 1855. In 1855, he taught Hebrew at Alleghany College, in PA, and served as the vice president of the college. Reverend Hunter died on October 18, 1877, in Cleveland, OH.
