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

I’m travelling 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 'round me

I know my way is rough and steep

But golden fields lie just before me

Where God's redeem shall ever sleep

I'm going home to see my mother

And all my loved ones who’ve gone on

I'm only going over Jordan

I'm only going over home

I’ll soon be free from every trial

My body sleeps in the church yard

I’ll drop the cross of self denial

And then turn on my great reward

I’m going there to see my saviour

To sing his prays for ever more

I’m only going over Jordan

I’m only going over home
