Lyrics

I'm just a poor wayfaring stranger Traveling thro' a world of woe Ain't no sickness, toil, nor danger In that bright land to which I go I'm going there to see my father Said he'd meet me when I come I'm only going over Jordan I'm only going over home I know dark clouds gonna gather 'round me I know my way it'll be rough and steep Yet beautiful fields lie just before me Where God's redeemed did vigils keep I'm going there to see my loved ones Gone before me one by one I'm only going over Jordan I'm only going over home I'll soon be free from earthly trials This body rests in the orchard's yard I'll drop this cross of self-denial And go singing home to God I'm going there to see my Savior To dwell with Him no more to roam I'm only going over Jordan I'm only going over home I'm only going over home
