lyrics
I am a poor wayfaring stranger
Travelling through this world of woe
There is no sickness, toil or danger
In that bright land to which I go
I'm going there
To see my mother
I'm going there
No more to roam
I'm only going over Jordan
I'm only going over home
I know dark clouds will gather round me,
I know my way is rough and steep
Yet beauteous fields lie just before me
Where god's redeemed their vigils keep
I'm going there
To see my father
I'm going there
No more to roam
I'm only going over Jordan
I'm only going over home
I'm going there
To find my lover
She said she'd meet me
Meet me when I come
I'm only going over Jordan
I'm only going over home
I am a poor wayfaring stranger
Travelling through this world of woe
Travelling through this world of woe
There is no sickness, toil or danger
In that bright land to which I go
I'm going there
To see my mother
I'm going there
No more to roam
I'm only going over Jordan
I'm only going over home
I know dark clouds will gather round me,
I know my way is rough and steep
Yet beauteous fields lie just before me
Where god's redeemed their vigils keep
I'm going there
To see my father
I'm going there
No more to roam
I'm only going over Jordan
I'm only going over home
I'm going there
To find my lover
She said she'd meet me
Meet me when I come
I'm only going over Jordan
I'm only going over home
I am a poor wayfaring stranger
Travelling through this world of woe
