I am a poor wayfaring stranger
Travelling through this world of woe
But there€™s no sickness, toil or danger
In that bright land to which I go

Well I€™m going there
To meet my mother
Said she€™d meet me when I come
I€™m only going over Jordan
I€™m only going over home

I know dark clouds
Will gather €˜round me
I know my way
Will be rough and steep
But beautiful fields lie just before me
Where God€™s redeemed
Their vigils keep

Well I€™m going there
To meet my loved ones
Gone on before me, one by one
I€™m only going over Jordan
I€™m only going over home

I€™ll soon be free of earthy trials
My body rest in the old church yard
I€™ll drop this cross of self-denial
And i€™ll go singing home to God

Well I€™m going there
To meet my Savior
Dwell with Him and never roam
I€™m only going over Jordan
I€™m only going over home
