But beauteous fields lie just before me

Where gods redeemed their vigils keep

I’m goin’ there, to see my father

And go singing, home to God

I’m goin’ there, to see my saviour

I’m goin’ there, no more to roam

I’m justa goin’ over home

I’m justa goin’ over Jordan

I’m justa goin’ over home

I’m justa goin...
