lyrics

I am a poor wayfaring stranger
traveling through this world of woe
there is no sickness, toil, or danger
in that fair 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 o’er me
I know my pathway’s rough and steep
but golden fields lie out 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 every trial
this form shall rest beneath the stars
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
