I'm just a poor wayfaring stranger
Traveling through this world of woe
There is no sickness, no toil, nor danger
In that bright land to which I go
I'm going there to see my mother
She said she'd meet me when I come
I'm just goin' over Jordan
I'm just goin' over home
I know dark clouds will gather 'round me
I know my way is rough and steep
But beauteous fields lie just before me
Where God's redeemed their vigils keep
I'm goin' there to see my father
I'm goin' there, no more to roam
I'm just goin' over Jordan
I'm just goin' over home
I'll soon be free from every trial
This body rest in the ol’ churchyard
I'll drop this cross of self-denial
And go singing home to God
I'm goin' there to see my savior
I'm goin' there, no more to roam
I'm just goin' over Jordan
I'm just goin' over home
I'm just goin' over Jordan
I'm just goin' over home
I'm just goin'
