W:1) I am a poor wayfaring stranger,
W:While traveling through this world of woe.
W:Yet there’s no sickness, toil nor danger
W:In that bright world to which I go.
W:I’m going there to see my Father;
W:I’m going there no more to roam.
W:----
W:---- I’m only going over Jordan,
W:---- I’m only going over home.
W:----
W:
W:2) I know dark clouds will gather round me;
W:I know my way is rough and steep.
W:But golden fields lie out before me
W:Where God’s redeemed shall ever sleep.
W:I’m going there to see my mother,
W:She said she’d meet me when I come.
W:----
W:---- I’m only going over Jordan,
W:---- I’m only going over home.
W:----
W:
W:3) I’ll soon be free from every trial,
W:My body sleep in the churchyard;
W:I’ll drop the cross of self denial
W:And enter on my great reward.
W:I’m going there to see my Savior,
W:To sing His praise forevermore.
W:----
W:---- I’m only going over Jordan,
W:---- I’m only going over home.
