I'm just a poor wayfaring stranger

Traveling through this world below

There's no sickness, no toil, no danger

In that bright land to which I go

I'm going there to see my Father

And all my loved ones who've gone home

I'm just going over Jordan

I'm just going over home

I know dark clouds will gather'round me

I know my way is hard and steep

But beauteous fields arise 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

So I'm just going over Jordan

I'm just going over home

I'm just going over Jordan

I'm just going over home
