[Verse]
I am a poor wayfaring stranger
Just traveling through this world of woe.
Yet there s no sickness, no toil, no danger
In that bright world to which I go.
[Chorus]
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.
[Verse]
I know dark clouds will gather round me,
I know my way is rough and steep.
Yet golden fields lie just before me
Where s God s redeemed their vigils keep.
[Chorus]
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.
