Lyrics

[Verse 1: Peter Hollens] I am a poor wayfaring stranger While traveling through this world of woe But there's no sickness, toil or danger In that bright land (land) to which I go (go) [Chorus: Peter Hollens] I'm going there to see my father I'm going there no more to roam I'm just a-going over Jordan (Oh) I'm just a-going over home (go) [Verse 2: The Swingle Singers] I know dark clouds will gather round me (I know clouds will gather round) I know my way is rough and steep (I know my way is rough and steep) But golden fields lie out before me Where God's redeemed, no more shall weep [Chorus: The Swingle Singers] I'm going there to see my mother She says she'd meet me when I come (she'd meet me when I come) I'm just a-going over Jordan I'm just a-going over home (my home) [Verse 3: The Swingle Singers] I'll soon be free from earthly trials My body sleep in the old churchyard I'll drop the cross of self-denial And enter in my great reward (an enter in my great reward) [Chorus: The Swingle Singers] I'm going, I'm going there to see my Saviour (to see my Saviour, my Saviour) I'm going there no more to roam (no more to roam) I'm just a-going over Jordan I'm just a-going over (going over) Home [Outro] Over home Over home I'm just a-going over home
