Wayfaring Stranger

I am just a poor wayfaring stranger Traveling through a world of woe Ain't no sickness, toil, nor danger In that bright land to which I go I'm goin' there to see my father Said he'd meet me when I come I'm only goin' over Jordan I'm only goin' over home I know dark clouds gonna gather 'round me I know my way'll be rough and steep Yet beautiful fields lye just before me Where god's redeemed their vigils keep I'm goin' there to see my loved ones Gone before me one by one I'm only goin' over Jordan I'm only goin' over home I'll soon be free from earthly trials This body rest in the ol' churchyard I'll drop this cross of self-denial And go singing home to god I'm goin' there to see my savior To dwell with him no more to roam I'm only goin' over Jordan I'm only goin' over home I'm only goin' over home
