Wayfaring Stranger Lyrics
I am a poor wayfaring
stranger
Traveling through a world of woe
Ain't no sickness, toil, nor 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'm only goin' over Jordan
I'm only goin' over home
I know dark clouds
gonna gather 'round me
I know my way'll be rough and steep
Yet beautiful fields lye just before me
Where God's redeemed their vigils keep
I'm goin' there
to see my loved ones
Gone 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 ol' churchyard
I'll drop this cross of self-denial
And go singing home to God
Im goin' there
to see my savior
To dwell with him no more to roam
I'm only goin' over Jordan
I'm only goin' over home
I'm only goin' over home
