Lyrics

I am a poor wayfaring stranger
While traveling through this world below
There is no sickness, toil, or danger
In that bright world to which I'll go
I'm going there to meet my father
I'm going there no more to roam
I'm just going over Jordan
I'm just going over home
I know dark clouds will gather o'er me
I know my pathway is rough and steep
But golden fields lie out before me
Poor wayward eyes no more shall weep
I'm going there to meet my mother
She said she'd meet me when I come
I'm just going over Jordan
I'm just going over home
I want to sing salvation's story
In concert with the blood-washed band
I want to wear a crown of glory
When I get home to that good land
I'm going there to meet my loved ones
Who's passed before me one by one
I'm just going over Jordan
I'm just going over home
Soon be done with every trial
This form will rest beneath the sod
I'll drop the cross of self-denial
I'll enter in my home with God
I'm going there to meet my savior
Who shed for me his precious blood
I'm just going over Jordan
I'm just going over home
