Wayfaring Stranger Lyrics

Wayfaring Stranger lyrics

I`m just a poor Wayfaring Stranger
Travelin` through a world of woe
Where there`s no sickness toil or danger
In that bright land to which I go
I`m goin` there to see my mother
She said she`d meet me when I come
I`m only goin` over Jordan
I`m only goin` over home

I know dark clouds are gonna gather `round me
I know my way will be rough and steep
But beautiful fields lie just before me
Where God`s redeemed their vigils keep
 I`m going there to see my loved ones
Gone on before me one by one
I`m only goin` over Jordan
I`m only goin` over home
I`ll soon be free from earthly trials
This body rest in the old churchyard
I`ll drop this cross of self denial
Then I`ll go singin` on to God
I`m going there to see my savior
I`ll dwell with Him and I`ll never roam
I`m only goin` over Jordan
I`m only goin` over home
