Wayfaring Stranger Lyrics

Wayfaring Stranger lyrics

I am a poor wayfaring stranger 

While journeying through this world of woe; 

And 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 go-going over Jordan, 

I'm only go-going over home. 



I know dark clouds will gather ‘round me, 

I know my way is rough and steep; 

And beautiful fields lie just before me, 

Where God's redeemed there vigils keep. 



I'm going there to see my Father, 

I'm going there no more to roam; 

I'm only go-going over Jordan, 

I'm only go-going over home. 



<instrumental> 



I'm going there to see my mother, 

I'm going there no more to roam; 

I'm only go-going over Jordan, 

I'm only go-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 ohh the blood-washed band, 



I'm going there to see my Saviour, 

I'm going there no more to roam; 

I'm only go-going over Jordan, 

I'm only go-going over home. 



Well I'm only go-going over home. 

Yeah only go-going over home.
