The Zahasky family, homeschoolers as well as being a professional music group known as the Alaska String Band , gave a moving performance of this apparent new find among old gospel hymns. See them in the video above. I was immediately captivated and knew I HAD to have that hymn. Farther On is apparently from the Shape Note tradition, but it didnt show up in any searches I did the year when I first heard the hymn. However, another kind soul apparently felt the same way as I did about Farther On, and put the Zahaskys video on Youtube so the whole world can share in the experience. A couple of beginning vocal students who are also beginning piano players was the real impetus for me to make up this easy piano version of Farther On I wanted them to work on something familiar, with a small range. This is such a sweet, old timey hymn a treasure among church songs. And the message warms the heart. Please notice that I have placed no fingering in the music, but I suggest thumbs side by side on Middle C left thumb and Middle D right thumb so that the whole octave range of the melody can be played without lifting the hand.

Beginning with a solo joined by the group at the chorus, it turns into a duet, then the group at the refrain again, the group all together on verse 3, then back to a solo on verse 4 where the music says De capo al Coda, and then on to the Coda at page 4, where the Zahaskys turn it into one of the most riveting a capella hymns I have ever heard. Page 4 really has nothing different from any of the other choruses, except 2 extra notes in the tenor line. Here is a lead sheet with guitar chords or piano chords in 4 different keys D, E, F, and G.

Once they have nailed that, then if they are advanced enough we start adding right hand harmony by adding chord tones under the melody in the right hand. This is only fun for the student when they really love the song so I dont press it. There is an interesting story about verse 3, which begins Jesus, Jesus will go with you. This verse is not found in any collection of Farther On lyrics that I came across. The only place I found those words and variants thereon were in links to books and articles about Harriet Tubman and the Underground Railroad. For you non Americans, she was a famous black woman, a former slave, who ran away and successfully escorted many other slaves to freedom along a secret route from the South to the North. Known as the Underground Railroad, there were safe houses along the way where slaves could find refuge from pursuers. The story apparently goes that as Harriet a conductor or engineer on the Underground Railroad approached the slave quarters where a group of potential runaways waited, she would sing a song not Farther On which included the words, Jesus, Jesus will go with you. If she sang the song twice through, that meant it was safe to come out and follow her. If, instead, she switched to a different song and sang, Go down, Moses, way down in Egypt land. Israel in Egypt, but really slavery in America, that was a warning that it was not safe If anyone knows more about this story, please let me know through my Contact Form. I want to be accurate. I would also like to know how these words came to be attached to Farther On. The more I hear, play, and sing this hymn, the more beautiful and poignant the words and music seem to become.
