(Traditional/Brian Ahern)
|
I am a poor wayfaring stranger
|
While traveling thru this world of woe
|
Yet there's no sickness, toil or danger
|
In that bright world yo which I go
|
|
I'm going there to see my father
|
I'm going there no more to ram
|
I'm only going over Jordan
|
I'm only going over home
|
|
I know dark clouds will gather around 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 my mother
|
She said she'd meet me when I come
|
I'm only going over Jordan
|
I'm only going over me
|
