I'm just a poor Wayfaring Stranger
|
Travelin' through a world of woe
|
Where there's no sickness toil or danger
|
In that bright land to which I go
|
I'm goin' there to see my mother
|
She said she'd meet me when I come
|
I'm only goin' over Jordan
|
I'm only goin' over home
|
|
I know dark clouds are gonna gather 'round me
|
I know my way will be rough and steep
|
But beautiful fields lie just before me
|
Where God's redeemed their vigils keep
|
I'm going there to see my loved ones
|
Gone on 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 old churchyard
|
I'll drop this cross of self denial
|
Then I'll go singin' on to God
|
I'm going there to see my savior
|
I'll dwell with Him and I'll never roam
|
I'm only goin' over Jordan
|
I'm only goin' over home
|
