Wayfaring Stranger

I am a poor wayfaring stranger
While traveling through this world below
There is no sickness toil or danger
In that bright land to where I go

Chorus
I’m going there to see my Father
I’m going there no more to roam
I’m only going over Jordan
I’m only going over home

I know dark clouds will gather ore me
I know my pathway is rough and steep
But golden fields lie out before me
Where weary eyes no more shall weep

Chorus
I’m going there to see my Mother
She said she’d meet when I come
I’m only going over Jordan
I’m only going over home

I want to sing salvation story
In concert with that blood washed band
I want to wear a crown of glory
When I get home to that good land

Chorus
I’m going there to meet my classmates
Who’ve gone before me one by one
I’m going over Jordan
I’m only going over home

I’ll soon be free from every trial
And this form will rest beneath the sod
I’ll drop this cross of self-denial
And enter in my home with God

Chorus
I’m going there to see my Savior
Who shed for me His precious blood
I’m only going over Jordan
I’m only going over home
