Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I am a poor wayfaring stranger, traveling through this world of woe

Yet, there's no sickness, no toil or danger

In that bright world to which I go

[Verse 2]

I'm goin' there to see my father, I'm goin' there no more to roam

I'm only goin' over to Jordan, I'm only goin' over home, yes, Lord

[Verse 3]

I know dark clouds will gather around me

I know my way is tough and steep

Yet, beauteous fields lie just before me

Where God's redeemed, their vigils keep

[Verse 4]

I'm goin' there to see my mother

She said she'd meet me when I come

I'm only goin' over Jordan, I'm only goin' over home, goin' home now

[Verse 5]

Oh, somebody show me the way home
