| 1. | I’m just a poor wayfaring stranger A tra’ling thro’ this world of woe; But there’s no sickness, toll nor danger 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 steep and rough; But beauteous fields lie just beyond me Where souls redeemed their vigil keep. I’m going there to meet 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. |

| 3. | I want to wear a 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 Saviour To sing His praises forevermore I’m only going over Jordan I’m only going over home. |
