I am a poor wayfaring stranger
While traveling 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 just going over Jordan
I'm just going over home

I know dark clouds will gather around me
I know my way is rough and steep
Yet beauteous fields lie just before me
Where God's redeemed shall be

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

so I will wear a crown of glory
when I get home to that good land
and I will sing redemption story
in concert with that heavenly band

I'm going there to see my brother
I'm going there no more to roam
I'm just going over Jordan
I'm just going over home

I'm just going over home
