I am a poor wayfaring stranger |
|
A traveling through this land of woe |
|
And there's no sickness, toil or danger |
|
In that bright world to which I go |
|
I'm going home to see my father |
|
(Mother, sister, brother etc.) |
|
I'm going there no more to roam |
|
I'm just a-going over Jordan |
|
I'm just a-going over home |
|
I know dark clouds will gather 'round me |
|
I know my way is steep and rough |
|
But beauteous fields lie just beyond me |
|
Where souls redeemed their vigil keep |
|
I'm going there to meet my mother |
|
She said she'd meet me when I come |
|
I'm just a-going over Jordan |
|
I'm just a-going over home |
|
I want to wear a crown of glory |
|
When I get home to that bright land |
|
I want to shout Salvation's story |
|
In concert with that blood washed band |
|
I'm going there to meet my Savior |
|
To sing His praises forevermore |
|
I'm only going over Jordan |
|
I'm only going over home |
