Finally got around to posting this, another one of my favorite hymns or spirituals.  It's kinda tricky due to some syllables having more than one note, but worth what little extra effort it takes.

Surely Goodness and Mercy

A stran-   ger    was I  and a wand-rin’
6    7      7     7   8  -8  7 -6    7

Through a world full of sin did  I roam,
   7    7   -8  -8  -8  -8  7   -8   8

Till Je-sus the kind shep-herd found me,
  6   7  7    7  8    -8   7    -6    7

And now I am on my way home.
 -9 8  -8 7 -7 -6  -7   7

Chorus:
Sure-ly good-ness and mer-cy shall fol-low me    
 8  -8  8-8   7   8-8 8-8 7   8    9  -107 8

All the days, all the days of my   life.
8   8    -8   -8   -8 -8   7 -8    8-88-87

Sure-ly good-ness and mer-cy shall fol-low me,
 8   8  8 -8  7   8-8 8-8 7    8    9 -107 8

All the days, all the days of my life.
 8  8   -8    -8  -8  -9   8  -8   7 

And I shall dwell, in the House of the Lord, 
-9  -9  -9   -9    -9  -9  -9    8  -8   7
for-e-ver
-8  7 -6

And I shall feast, at the tab-le set for  me.
-9 -9 -9     -9    -9  -9  -9  -8  8  -9   8-87

Sure-ly good-ness and mer-cy shall fol-low me,
 8   -8  8-8  7   8-8 8-8 7    8    9 -107  8

All the days, all the days of my life.
