I am a poor wayfaring stranger A travelling though this world of woe But there's no sickness toil or 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 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 rough and steep Yet beauteous fields lie just before me Where those redeemed no more shall weep I'm going there to see 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 So I will wear a crown of glory When I get home to that good land And I will sing redemption's story In concert with that heavenly band I'm going there to see my brother I'm going there no more to roam I'm just a going over Jordan I'm just a going over home
