[Bm]
[B] I am a [Bm] poor [F#m]
[Bm] wayfaring stranger [F#m]
while journeying [Em] through this world [B] of woe
[Bm] Yet there's no sickness, toil, nor danger [F#m] in that brighter [Bm]
[Em] [F#] land to which [B] I go
[Bm] [B] I'm going [G]
there to see [D] my father
I'm going [G] there
[E] [F#]
[G]
[Bm] to sing over Jordan
[A] I'm [G] on
[F#] [B] the road to home
I know dark [Bm] clouds will [D]
gather [Bm] o'er me
I know my way [Em]
is rough [B] and steep
Yet beautiful [A]
[B] fields [F#m] lie just [Bm] before me
[A] Where God's [Bm]
[F#] redeemed their [B] vigils keep
[Bm] [B] I'm going [G]
there to see [D] my mother
I'm [G] going there
[F#]
[G]
to [Am] sing [B] over Jordan
[Am] I'm [G] only [F#] going over [B]
home
I want to [Bm] wear a crown of glory
When I get [Em] home to that [Bm] good land
I want to shout
[D] [Bm] salvation's story
[D] In [E] concert with [F#] a blood [Bm]-washed band
I'm [G] going there to see [D] my savior
I'm going [G] there to sing over [F#m] [E] [F#]
[G]
[A] [Bm]
Jordan
[D] I'm [G] only going [F#] [Bm] over home
[A] I'm [G] only going [B]
[Bm] over Jordan
[F#m] I'm [G] only going [F#]
over [B] home
[Bm]
