| Wayfaring Stranger (traditional) |
| I'm just a poor wayfaring stranger a-travelin' through this world of woe but there's no sickness, toil, or danger in that bright land to which i go i'm goin' there to see my mother she said she'd meet me when i come i am just goin' over jordan i am just a-goin' home i know dark clouds will gather 'round me i know the way is rough and steep yet beautiful fields lie just before me where god's redeemed their vigil keep i'm goin' there to see my brothers gone before me one by one i am just goin' over jordan i am just a-goin' home i'll soon be free from earthly trials, this body rest in the old 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 am just goin' over jordan i am just a-goin' home i am just a-goin' home |
