I'm just a poor wayfaring stranger While traveling in this world of woe Yet there's no sickness, toil nor danger In that bright land to which I go 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 ‘round me I know my way is rough and steep But golden fields lie out before me Where God's redeemed shall ever sleep I'm going home to see my mother She said she'd meet me when I come I'm only going over Jordan I'm only going over home
I'll soon be free from every trial This body sleep in that churchyard I'll drop the cross of self-denial And enter on my great reward I'm going there to see my Savior To sing His praise forevermore I'm only going over Jordan I'm only going over home[citation needed] Alternate versions have various lines, such as:
