I am a poor wayfaring stranger
A-journeyin' through this world of woe
But there's no sickness, no toil, nor danger
In that great land to which I go

I'm goin' there to see my Savior
I'm goin' there no more to roam
I'm only goin' over Jordan
I'm only goin' over home

I'm goin' to wear that crown of glory
When I get home to that great land
And I'm gonna shout, I'm gonna shout salvation's story
In concert with that blood-washed band

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 my way is rough and steep
But beautiful fields lie just before me
As God's redeemed their vigils keep

I'm goin' there to see my Savior
I'm goin' there no more to roam
I'm only goin' over Jordan
I'm only goin' over home
