Poor Wayfaring Stranger

I’m only going over Jordan I’m only going over home. I’m just 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 I’m going there To see 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 'round me I know my way Is rough and steep But beautiful fields they lie just beyond me Where souls redeemed Their vigils keep 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 wanna wear a crown A crown of glory When I get home to that bright land I wanna shout salvation’s beautiful story In concert with that blood-washed band I’m going there To meet my Savior To sing his praise forever more I’m only going over Jordan I’m only going over home I’m only going over Jordan I’m only going over home
