Verse

Chorus

 I am a poor wayfarin' stranger

 I'm traveling through this world of woe

 Yet there's no sickness, toil nor danger

 In that bright world 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 that dark clouds will gather 'round me

 I know my way is rough and steep

 Yet beauteous fields lie just before me

 Where God's redeemed, their vigils keep

 I'm going there 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 am a poor wayfarin' stranger

 While travelin' through this world of woe

 Yet there's no sickness, toil nor danger

 In that bright world 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
