i'm just a poor wayfaring stranger
ain't no sickness, toil, nor danger
travelin' through a world of woe
i'm goin' there to see my father
in that bright land to which i go

said he'd meet me when i come
i'm only goin' over jordan
i'm only goin' over home

i know dark clouds gonna gather 'round me
yet beautiful fields lie just before me
i know my way it'll be rough and steep
where god's redeemed did vigils keep

i'm goin' there to see my loved ones
gone before me one by one

i'm only goin' over home

i'll soon be free from earthly trials
i'm only goin' over jordan
this body rests in the orchard's yard
and go singing home to god
i'll drop this cross of self-denial

to dwell with him no more to roam
i'm only goin' over jordan
i'm goin' there to see my savior
i'm only goin' over homei'm only goin' over home
