Lyrics

I am a poor wayfaring stranger
While traveling thru this world of woe
Yet there's no sickness, toil, or danger
In that bright world to which I go

[Chorus]
I'm going there to see my Father
I'm going there no more to roam
I'm only going over Jordan
I'm only going over home

[Verse]
I know dark clouds will hang around me,
I know my way is rough and steep
Yet beauteous fields lie just before me
Where Gods redeemed their vigils keep

[Chorus]
I'm going there to see my mother
She said she'd meet me when I come
I'm only going over Jordan
I'm only going over home
