Borrowing from my other website
I wouldn't ordinarily do this, but I am happy with the arrangements I have on my site Music-for-Music-Teachers.com, so, with my own permission (!), I am going to place some of the PDF links from that site here (instead of making new arrangements for this site).
On my other site, you can find two easier piano arrangements, one for early beginners in Middle C position, and one for late elementary/early intermediate players.
A duet for singers or instruments
Please scroll down the page for the sheet music PDF links.
There are four verses, not three; the graphic is wrong, but I fixed that in the PDF. Please scroll down to find the free PDF download.
Guitar tabs in the key of G

Insights about this hymn from my other website:
We all are strangers, at first
An ancient tradition - welcoming the stranger
An incredibly beautiful rendition of the melody:
God welcomes us
Too sentimental?
