Wayfaring Stranger Lyrics

Wayfaring Stranger lyrics

I am a poor wayfaring stranger

Travelling through this world of woe

There is no sickness, toil or danger

In that fairy land to which I
go



I'm going home

To see my mother

I'm going home

No more to roam

I am just going over Jordan

I am just going over
home



I know dark clouds will hover on me,

I know my pathway
is rough and steep

Beauteous fields lie right before me

Where weary
eyes no more will weep

I'm going home to see my father

I'm going
home no more to roam

I am just going over Jordan

I am just going
over home



I'll soon be free from earthy trial

This form will
rest beneath the sun

I'll drop the cross of self-denial

And enter in
that home with God

I'm going home to see my savior

I'm going home no
more to roam

I am just going over Jordan

I am just going over home
