Lyrics
I am a poor wayfaring stranger
Who's journeying through this world of woe
And there's no sickness, toil nor danger
In that bright land to which I go
I'm going there to see my Father
I'm going there no more to roam
I'm only going over Jordan
I'm only going over home
I know dark clouds will gather 'round me
I know my way is rough and steep
But beauteous fields lie just before me
Where God's redeemed the vigils keep
I'm going there to see my Father
I'm going there no more to roam
I'm only going over Jordan
I'm only going over home
I wanna wear that crown of glory
When I get to the promised land
I wanna shout salvation's story
And cry a weep for blood-washed man
I'm going there to see my Savior
I'm going there no more to roam
I'm only going over Jordan
I'm only going over home
I'm only going over Jordan
I'm only going over home
