Wayfaring Stranger

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I am a poor wayfaring stranger

While journeying through this world of woe

Yet there's no sickness toil nor danger

In that bright land to which I go

I'm going there to see my father

I'm going there no more to roam

I'm only going over Jordan

I'm only going over home

I know dark clouds will gather over me

I know my way my way is rough and steep

Yet beautiful fields lie just before me

And God's redeemed their vigils keep

I'm going there to see my father

I'm going there no more to roam

I'm only going over Jordan

I'm only going over home

I'm going there oh to see my mother

I'm going there no more to roam

I'm only going over Jordan

I'm only going over home

I want to wear that crown of glory

When I get home to that good land

Well I want to shout salvation's story

In concert with the blood-washed band

I'm going there to see my Savior

Oh I'm going there no more to roam

I'm only going over Jordan

I'm only going over home

Well I'm only going over home

Yeah only going over home

I'm only going over home
