wayfaring stranger

i'm just a poor wayfarin' stranger

travelin' through this world below. there is no sickness

no toil

no danger

in that bright land to which i go. i'm goin' there to see my father. and all my loved ones who've gone on. i'm just goin' over jordan. i'm just goin' over home. i know dark clouds will gather 'round me

i know my way is hard and steep. but beauteous fields arise before me

where god's redeemed

their vigils keep. i'm goin' there to see my mother. she said she'd meet me when i come. so

i'm just goin' over jordan. i'm just goin' over home. i'm just goin' over jordan. i'm just goin' over home.
