I'm just a poor wayfaring stranger
|
a-travelin' through this world of woe
|
ain't no sickness, toil, or danger
|
in that bright land to which i go
|
|
I'm goin' there to see my father
|
said he'd meet me when i come
|
I am just goin' over jordan
|
I am just a-goin' home
|
|
I know dark clouds will gather 'round me
|
I know my way it'll be rough and steep
|
yet beautiful fields lie just before me
|
where god's redeemed their vigil keep
|
|
I'm goin' there to see my brothers
|
gone before me one by one
|
I am just goin' over jordan
|
I am just a-goin' home
|
|
I'll soon be free from earthly trials,
|
this body rest in the old churchyard
|
I'll drop this cross of self-denial
|
and go singing home to god
|
|
i'm goin' there to see my savior
|
to dwell with him no more to roam
|
i am just goin' over jordan
|
i am just a-goin' home
|
i am just a-goin' home
|
