Poor Wayfaring Stranger
I'm only going over Jordan
I'm only going over home.
I'm just a 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 just going over Jordan
I'm just going over home.
I know dark clouds
Will gather 'round me
I know my way
Is rough and steep
But beautiful fields they lie just beyond me
Where souls redeemed
Their vigils keep
I'm going there
To meet my mother
Said she'd meet me when I come
I'm only going over Jordan
I'm only going over home
I wanna wear a crown
A crown of glory
When I get home to that bright land
I wanna shout salvation's beautiful story
In concert with that blood-washed band
I'm going there
To meet my Savior
To sing his praise forever more
I'm only going over Jordan
I'm only going over home
I'm only going over Jordan
I'm only going over home
