Lyrics

Wayfaring Stranger

[Verse 1] I am a poor wayfaring stranger Traveling through this world alone There is no sickness, toil nor danger In that fair land to which I go [Chorus] I'm goin' home to see my mother I'm goin' home, no more to roam I am just goin' over Jordan I am just goin' over home [Verse 2] I know dark clouds will hover o'er me I know my pathway is rough and steep But golden fields lie out before me Where weary eyes no more will weep [Chorus] I'm goin' home to see my father I'm goin' home, no more to roam I am just goin' over Jordan I am just goin' over home [Verse 3] I'll soon be free from every trial This form shall rest beneath the sod I'll drop the cross of self-denial And enter in that home with God [Chorus] I'm goin' home to see my Savior I'm goin' home, no more to roam I am just goin' over Jordan I am just goin' over home
