Wayfaring Stranger

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 lie 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
 I'm 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
