[E]
I am a poor wayfaring stranger I'm traveling [A] through [Em]
this world
[E]
Yet there's no sickness, toil, nor danger In that [A] bright land to [E] which I go
I'm [C] going there to see [G] my father I'm [C] going there no more [Em] to [E] roam
I'm only going [Em] over [E] Jordan I'm only [D] going over [E] home
I know dark clouds may gather round me I know my [Am] way is [E] rough and steep
But golden fields lie just before me Where God's redeemed shall ever sleep
I'm [C] going home to see my [G] mother And all [C] my loved ones who've [E] gone on
I'm only going over Jordan I'm [G] only
[D] going [E] over home
[D]
[E]
I'll soon be free from every trial My body sleep in the churchyard
I'll drop the cross of self-denial And enter on my great reward
I'm [C] going there to see my [G] savior To sing [C] his praise [E] forevermore
I'm only going over Jordan I'm [Em] only going over home
[E]
