[Ebm] [Abm]
[Ab]
I am a poor, wayfaring stranger
[Db] Travelling through this [Ab] world of hope
But there's no sickness, toil or danger
In that [Abm] bright world [Eb] to which I [Ab] go
I'm [E] going there to see my [B] father
I'm [E] going there
[B] no [Ab] more to roam
[Abm] I'm only going over Jordan
I'm only [Db] going [Eb] [Ab] over home
I know dark clouds will gather round me
I know [Db] my way is rough [Ab] and steep
But [B] [Ab] beauteous fields lie just before me
Where [Db] God's [Eb] redeemed, [Ab] their vitals keep
I'm [E] going there to see [B] my mother
She [E] said she'd meet
[B] me when [Ab] I [Bb] [Eb] come
[Ab] I'm only going over Jordan
I'm [Db] only going [Ab] over home
[Abm]

[B] [Ab]

[Db]
[Ebm] [Abm] [Ab]
I want to wear that crown of glory
When I [Db] get home to that good [Ab] land
I want to shout salvation's story
In [Db] concert with [Ab] that blood-washed band
I'm [E] going there to see [B] my father
I'm [E] going there
[B] no more [Ab] to roam
I'm only going over Jordan
I'm only [Db] going
[Eb] [Ab] over home
I'm [Abm]
[Ab] only [Db]
[Eb] going over [Abm]
home
