I`m a poor wayfaring stranger
While traveling thru this world of woe
Yet there`s no sickness, toil, or danger
In that bright world to which I go
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 know dark clouds will hang `round me,
I know my way is rough and steep
Yet beauteous fields lie just before me
Where God`s redeemed their virgils keep
I`m going there to see my mother
She said she`d meet me when I come
I`m only going over Jordan
I`m only going over home
