Lyrics

I am a poor wayfaring stranger while trav'ling (Gm)through this world of (Dm)woe,

yet there's no sickness, toil nor danger in that bright (Gm)world to which I (Dm)go.

I'm going (Bb)there to see my (F)Father,

I'm going (Bb)there no more to (Dm)roam.

I'm only going over Jordan, I'm only (Gm)going over (Dm)home.

I know dark clouds will gather 'round me,

I know my (Gm)way is rough and (Dm)steep,

but golden fields lie out before me where God's (Gm)redeemed shall ever (Dm)sleep.

I'm going (Bb)there to see my (F)mother,

she said she'd (Bb)meet me when I (Dm)come.

I'm only going over Jordan, I'm only (Gm)going over (Dm)home.

I know dark home.
