Lyrics:

  • I'm just a poor wayfarin' stranger,
  • While travelin' through this world of woe.
  • There's no sickness, no toil, nor 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'm only goin' over Jordan.
  • I'm only goin' over home.

  • I know dark clouds will gather 'round me,
  • I know the way is rough and steep.
  • But beauteous fields lie just beyond me,
  • Where soul's redeemed, their vigils keep.

  • I'm goin' there to meet my Father.
  • I'm going there no more she ___.
  • I'm only goin' over Jordan.
  • I'm only goin' over home.

  • I want to wear the crown of glory
  • When I get home to that bright land
  • I want to shout salvation's story
  • In concert with that blood-washed band

  • I'm going there to meet my Savior
  • I'm going where no more to roam
  • I'm only going over Jordan
  • I'm only going over home
