Wayfaring Stranger Lyrics

Wayfaring Stranger

(Traditional/Brian Ahern)

I am a poor wayfaring stranger 
While traveling thru this world of woe 
Yet there`s no sickness, toil or danger 
In that bright world yo which I go 

I`m going there to see my father 
I`m going there no more to ram 
I`m only going over Jordan 
I`m only going over home 

I know dark clouds will gather around me 
I know my way is rough and steep 
Yet beauteous fields lie just before me 
Where God`s redeemed their vigils keep 

I`m going there to my mother 
She said she`d meet me when I come 
I`m only going over Jordan 
I`m only going over me
