I am poor wayfaring stranger
Travelling through this world of woe
But there's no sickness, toil or danger
In that bright land to which I go
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
I know dark clouds
Will gather 'round me
I know my way
Will be rough and steep
But beautous fields lie just before me
Where God's redeemed their vigils keep
Well 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
I'll soon be free of earthy trials
My body lay beneath the sod(?)
I'll drop this cross of self-denial
And I'll go singing home to God
Well I'm going there
To meet my Savior
To dwell with Him and never roam
I'm only going over Jordan
I'm only going over home
I'm only going over home
