I am a poor wayfaring stranger
Travelling through a world of woe
There is no sickness, toil nor danger
In that bright land to which I go
I'm going there to see my father
Said he'd meet me when I come
I'm only going over Jordan
I'm only going over home
I know dark clouds gonna gather round me
I know my way'll be rough and steep
Your beautiful lie just before me
Where gods redeemed their vigils keep
I'm going there to see my loved ones
Gone before me one by one
I'm only going over Jordan
I'm only going over home
I'll soon be free from earthly trials
My body rest in the old churchyard
I'll drop this cross of self denial
And go singing home to god
I'm going ter to see my saviour
To dwell with him no more to roam
I'm only going over Jordan
I'm only going over home x2
