[Verse 1]
I'm just a poor wayfaring stranger
A-travellin' through this world of woe
But there's no sickness, toil, nor danger
In that bright land to which I go
[Chorus]
I'm going there to meet my father
I'm going there no more to roam
I'm just a-going over Jordan
I'm just a-going over home
[Verse 2]
I know dark clouds will gather 'round me
I know my pathway is rough and steep
But beauteous fields arise before me
Where God's redeemed their vigils keep
[Chorus]
I'm going there to meet my father
I'm going there no more to roam
I'm just a-going over Jordan
I'm just a-going over home
I'm just a-going over home
