Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I am a poor wayfaring stranger

Traveling through this world alone

There is no sickness, toil nor danger

In that fair land to which I go

[Verse 2]

I'm goin' home to see my mother

I'm goin' home no more to roam

I am just goin' over Jordan

I am just goin' over home

[Verse 3]

I know dark clouds will hover o'er me

I know my pathway is rough and steep

But golden fields lie out before me

Where weary eyes no more will weep

[Verse 4]

I'm goin' home to see my father

I'm goin' home no more to roam

I am just goin' over Jordan

I am just goin' over home

[Verse 5]

I'll soon be free from every trial

This form shall rest beneath the sod

I'll drop the cross of self denial

And enter in that home with God

[Verse 6]

I'm goin' home to see my savior

I'm goin' home no more to roam

I am just goin' over Jordan

I am just goin' over home
