Lyrics
I am a poor wayfaring stranger
Travelling through this world of woe;
There is no sickness, no toil no danger
To 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, I'm going home.
I know dark clouds will hang around me,
I know my way is rough and steep;
Your beautiful fields lay just before me,
Where God's redeemed there vigils keep.
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, I'm going home.
I want to wear that crown of glory,
When I get home to that fair land;
I want to shout salvation's story,
In concert with the heavenly band
I'm going there to see my Savior,
I'm going there no more to roam;
I'm only going over Jordan,
I'm only going, I'm going home.
