Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I'm just a poor wayfaring stranger

Travelin' through this world below

There is no sickness, no toil, nor danger

In that bright land to which I go

[Verse 2]

I'm goin' there to see my father

And all my loved ones who've gone on

I'm just goin' over Jordan

I'm just goin' over home

[Verse 3]

I know dark clouds will gather 'round me

I know my way is hard and steep

But beauteous fields arise before me

Where God's redeemed, their vigils keep

[Verse 4]

I'm goin' there to see my mother

She said she'd be meet me when I come

So, I'm just goin' over Jordan

I'm just goin' over home

[Verse 5]

I'm just goin' over Jordan

I'm just goin' over home
