I'm Just A Poor Wayfaring Stranger
I'm just a poor wayfaring stranger
While travling through this world of woe
Yet there's no sickness, no toil nor danger
In that bright world to which I roam
I'm going there to meet my father
I'm going there no more to roam
I'm just a going over Jordan
I'm just a going over home
I know dark clouds will gather round me
I know my way is rough and steep
Yet beauteous fields lie just before me
Where God's redeemed their vigils keep
I'm going there to see my mother
She said she'd meet me when I come
I'm only going over Jordan
I'm only going over home
I want to wear a crown of glory
When I get home to that good land
I want to shout salvation's story
In concert with the blood-washed band
I'm going there to see my Saviour
To sing His praise forever more
I'm only going over Jordan
I'm only going over home
