MormonGuitar.com is my little project to write original arrangements of my kids' favorite LDS hymns and primary music every month. At the beginning of each month they tell what song I should do next. I then arrange it, transcribe it, video myself playing it and video myself teaching you how to play it. New arrangements are posted the first day of each month. And of course everything on this site is free.

Rather than try to recount all the history around this hymn myself, I'm just going to link you to all the resources I found while researching this hymn this last month.

Deseret News: Tad Walch: Original 'Poor Wayfaring Man' had different tune

BYU Religious Studies Center: John Taylor: Beyond "A Poor Wayfaring Man of Grief"

Church News: A diligent servant

Most of the resources I found seemed to link to the same PDF of the sheet music. But it looks like that link might have changed, so links to that file from those previous resources are all dead links. So the links to copies of the PDF of the original music, or other people's arrangements of it, that I came across can be found here and here. And here's a recording on YouTube of someone singing it in church.
