I'm just a poor wayfaring stranger A-travelling through this world of woe; But there's no sickness, toil or trouble In that bright world to which I go. I'm going there to see 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 know dark clouds will gather 'round me, I know my way is rough and steep; But golden fields lay just before me, Where God's redeemed no more shall weep. I'm going there to see my mother, She said she'd meet me when I come; I'm just a-going over Jordan, I'm just a-going over home. I want to wear a crown of glory, When I get home to that bright land; I want to sing salvation's story, In concert with that blood-washed band, I'm going there to meet my Saviour, To sing His praises forevermore; I'm just a-going over Jordan, I'm just a-going over home.
